• 2．I used to watch her from my kitchen window，she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground.The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break.A sea of children，and yet to me，she stood out from them all.
     I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball.I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids.She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.I began to notice her at other times，basketball in hand，playing alone.She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again，sometimes until dark.One day I asked her why she practiced so much.She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said， "I want to go to college.The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship.I like basketball.I decided that if I were good enough，I would get a scholarship.I am going to play college basketball.I want to be the best.My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough，the facts don't count."
     Then she smiled and ran towards the court to repeat the routine I had seen over and over again.Well，I had to give it to her--she was determined.I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.Every week，she led her team to victory.One day in her senior year，I saw her sitting in the grass，head cradled in her arms.
     I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her.Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh，nothing，" came a soft reply. "I am just too short." The coach told her that at 5'55'' she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team--much less offered a scholarship--so she should stop dreaming about college.She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.
     I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.They just did not understand the power of a dream.He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college，if she truly wanted a scholarship，that nothing could stop her except one thing--her own attitude.He told her again， "If the dream is big enough，the facts don't count." The next year，as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game，she was seen by a college recruiter.She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.
  It's true：If the dream is big enough，the facts don't count.

• 3．Many have longed for lightweight，durable，and flexible touch screen devices，thanks to science fiction．While some seem impossible to make，the tri-folding tablets in the US sci-fi TV series Westworld look like something we could go buy sooner or later．The 2012 film Looper likewise shows cellphones that could be folded up into half their size．
     Now，after 11 years of promising this foldable future，South Korean electronics company Samsung has finally delivered．With other companies rushing to roll out their own flexible phones，it seems that they've kicked off a new arms race in the smartphone industry．
     Back in November，Samsung announced its newest model，the Galaxy Fold．Since then，Xiaomi，Huawei and other Chinese companies have announced similar plans for foldable phones．It looks like Samsung won't take the lead all by itself，however．The same month，Royole，a lesser-known electronics brand from China，announced that it had a model - the Flexpai - ready to release．And at the 2019 Mobile World Congress，which concluded on Feb 28 in Spain，Huawei took the covers off its foldable Huawei Mate X for 2019．
     But why has it taken so many years to turn the idea into reality？According to tech news website Android Authority，the necessary displays were difficult and expensive to produce．They wrote that，in 2012，nine out of every 10 OLED screens produced were defective （有缺陷的）．Today，that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent．
     It's fun to think about how we could use this technology．We could make TVs that stick to walls like posters，or fold up easily to hide away in drawers．Instead of carrying heavy backpacks，all of our textbooks - and the whole library - could fit into our pockets．It's also nice to think that we might not have to worry about dropping our devices．
     The Galaxy Flex，F(xiàn)lexpai phones and Huawei Mate X are just the first step to that foldable future．In a keynote address，Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product marketing，Justin Denison，called the foldable screen "the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow"． "It's a blank canvas for us to do something beautiful together，" he said．
     However，if you recall the 2002 movie Minority Report，this foldable future might not be so bright．Seventeen years ago，it introduced many people to the concept of flexible screens．What was their biggest use？Inescapable advertisements on every surface that followed the characters wherever they went．
  
  （1）What used to be a problem of the foldable phone？

  
  A．The material required for the screen was rare．
  B．The concept did not appeal to the public．
  C．Foldable phones were not durable and easily broke．
  D．The produced screens often failed to work properly．
  （2）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？

  
  A．Popular flexible touch screen device．
  B．Possible uses of the foldable screen．
  C．Advantages of the foldable screen．
  D．Where the idea of foldable screens came from．
  （3）What would Denison most probably agree with？

  
  A．The Galaxy Fold still has many problems．
  B．The price of foldable phones will soon drop．
  C．The foldable screen has great potential．
  D．Close cooperation is needed for foldable phones to develop．
  （4）What is the author's attitude toward the future of the foldable screen？

  
  A．Objective．
  B．Unconcerned．
  C．Negative．
  D．Supportive．

      Recently a group of teachers are calling for the banning of schoolchildren's homework，fear the homework will make them stressful and unhappy.And others in support for the homework ban think homework especially puts heavy stress on poorer children who lacks books and computers to finish their homework.As for me，I against the idea of banning homework.The reasons are as follows：
      Firstly，if the homework is banned，some of the students will not be aware of the important of learning in their time.Secondly，the homework such like going to the libraries or visiting a museum can be monitored by the parents，this helps develop a healthy family relationship.Thirdly，if the students preview the lessons in an advance，they can have a better understanding of that they learn.
      In a word，banning homework is not a good idea.
