David Ortiz is a nine-time Major League Baseball All-Star and three-time World Series champion. Last season, he earned World Series MVP honors after leading the Boston Red Sox to their eighth World Series championship. Boys’ Life interviewed Ortiz about what it takes to be a champion.
BL: What was it like growing up playing baseball in your hometown?
D.O.: It was the best thing. Pretty much everything was natural. It was about love for
the game. I feel the same today. It never gets old.
BL: How important were your parents to your success?
D.O.: They did it all. My dad encouraged me big time to become a Major League
Baseball player, taking me to games. And my mom made sure I ate well. It was teamwork.
BL: How did the Red Sox go from winning very few games in 2012 to World Series champs in 2013?
D.O.: We had the talent in 2012. We just weren’t on the same page. Once we hired
(雇用) John Farrell (Boston’s manager) in the new season, we felt this was the piece we needed to achieve our goal. Then, it was perfect.
BL: You’re 38 but still performing at an excellent level. What’s the secret?
D.O.: As you start getting older and some of your agility (敏捷) is going, you have to
work harder. I have to make adjustments (调整) because each time I’m facing somebody, they’re giving me the best of what they have. So I have to bring the best of what I have. Every game. Every situation.
BL: What advice do you have for young people?
D.O.: Listen to your parents, because they always want the best for you. Be honest.
Sometimes you can fool yourself, but you know what it takes to get to a certain level. More importantly, it’s hard work that will take you to where you want to be.

A young dance team rocks the court at basketball games. Dressed from head to toe in black-and-white clothes, the dancers stand in a circle. They shout “Brookly n Nets! Yes! We are the best!” The crowd at Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, reacts with clapping and cheers.
Fans may go to the center to watch the Nets play basketball. But once there, they are treated to the hip-hop moves and big smiles of the Brooklyn Nets Kids.
The team performs during halftime at Brooklyn Nets home games. This year’s dancers are 8 to 13 years old. Team members must have at least two years of dance training.
“We look for star power at auditions (试演),” said dance instructor Tan isha Scott, who picked out 17 dancers from 500 children. “The team dances in front of almost 18,000 people, so we need kids who light up the room and catch people’s attention.” Dancers attend rehearsals (排练) every Wednesday for three hours. The team also practices for at least an hour before each halftime performance.
“Sometimes, it gets hard because we have rehearsals and I’m tired for school the next day,” Serena, 9, says. “It can also be hard to keep my attention. If I see someone famous in the crowd, i t changes my dancing a little bit.” Frankie, 10, agrees. “But the hardest part for me is dancing in front of all the fans,” he, sometimes unable to relax, says.
But the dancers agree that being a Brooklyn Nets Kid is pleasurable. “It’s really fun to dance on the team,” ten-year-old Tymell says. “I like to encourage all the fans.”
Scott says she loves seeing the pride the kids have in their work. “When they get warm clapping, we all high-five (举手击掌) each other,” she says. “That’s the best part of the job.”

Today many people call Paul Cézanne the Father of Modern Painting. In fact, he sold few pictures and won no prizes. He had to be supported by his father and was also helped by the writer Émile Zola, his boyhood friend. Only in the last ten years of his life was his greatness recognized.
Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence, France, on Jan. 19, 1839. His father, Louis-Auguste, was a successful banker. Cézanne received an education at the
Collège Bourbon and studied drawing at the Aix Museum. After studying for a short
time at law school and working in his father’s bank, he went to Paris to study painting. Then he often returned to Aix. He worked many summers painting the scenery near his father’s home away from the center of the city.
During the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870, Cézanne fled to L’Estaque, near Marseilles. With him went Hortense Fiquet. In 1872 their son Paul was born.
Cézanne took part in the first exhibition of impressionist (印象派的) paintings in 1874, though he later broke with the impressionists. He was more concerned with structure and color than with the effects produced by light.
Not until Cézanne was about 60 years old did galleries and museums begin to look for his works. Even with his newfound success he still remained unsociable. However, he continued to paint until a week before his death on Oct. 22, 1906.
Most 20th-century painters were influenced by Cézanne. He invented a way of modeling three-dimensional (三维的) forms by painting in small areas of color. He painted from nature but often changed a shape or its color to express its special effect. His finest works are very calm and peaceful but they are powerful expressions of forms in space.
28. During most of his life, Paul Cézanne seemed to _____.
A. be a failure
B. be a great artist
C. like to help others
D. like to make friends
29. What was Paul Cézanne’s attitude towards impressionist paintings in his later life?
A. Hopeful.
B. Uncertain.
C. Favorable.
D. Uninterested.
30. The last paragraph mainly tells us about Paul Cézanne’s _____.
A. finest works
B. painting style
C. favorite painters
D. powerful influence

Last mo nth, the world’s oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating (漂浮) in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean! Last week, the message was sent to the author’s granddaughter.
A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel, Germany. He says he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.
The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps, dated May 17, 1913. Although dampness (潮湿) had made most of the writing illegible, the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin.
From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. Then they began a search for any living relatives. Sure enough, they were able to find his
62-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.
“It was almost unbelievable,” Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather’s bottle and message. “That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face.”
Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946, but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.
The bottle will remain on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1. After that, researchers will examine the postcard and try to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.
Until now, the oldest known message in a bottle had been written in 1914 and was discovered in 2012 by a Scottish fisherman. It had spent nearly 98 years at sea.
31. When Konrad Fischer picked the bottle from the sea, _____.
A. he found it had been broken
B. he knew it was the oldest bottle
C. he noticed the postcard inside immediately
D. he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first
32. The underlined word “illegible” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.
A. not easy to post
B. not difficult to copy
C. not hard to understand
D. not clear enough to be read
33. When Erdmann got her grandfather’s bottle and message, she was _____.
A. worried
B. troubled
C. surprised
D. satisfied
34. What can we learn about Richard Platz from the text?
A. He died in his fifties.
B. He had ever met his granddaughter.
C. He hoped his granddaughter could find the postcard.
D. He hoped his message in the bottle could set a world record.

The sport of skateboarding has had more ups and downs than a skate park.
36 It was nothing more than a scooter (踏板车) made with roller-skate wheels and a wooden box. Another piece of wood at the top of the box served as the handles (把手).
It wasn’t until the 1950s that the box and handles were taken away. 37 That’s when skateboarding was truly born. Every kid wanted a skateboard! By 1959, skateboards hit store shelves. A few years later, professional skateboarders brought pleasure and surprise to people.
Those first boards were dangerous, though. Neither steel wheels nor clay wheels were safe. After serious injuries were reported, the popularity of skateboarding went downhill. 38 Cities didn’t like them. By 1965, the sport was almost dead.
39 They were made of new material, a type of rubber. The ride was smoother and safer. New skateboard designs had a kick tail that turned up at the end. The new design made tricks (技巧) possible. Skateboards were hot again!
Since then, skateboarding has gone up and down in popularity. Today, skateboarding video games help to make it more and more popular. Many cities have built skate parks where skateboard lovers can do tricks. 40 Some skateboard lovers even want to make skateboarding an Olympic sport.
A. In 1966, sales had dropped.

Every year many people are killed or injure in road accidents. So why can we make the roads safer? We can start by remembering the following traffic rule. If you were riding a bike, always keeping to the right side of the road. If you’re walking, you should stop and look at both right and left before crossing the road. It is safe to cross only when a road is clear. If you see any kids or old people waiting cross the road, you can help them to cross it safe, too. Always follow these traffic rules or you’ll find walking or riding on the road much safer.
