Appel and Fuiava left Honolulu on May 3 sailing Appel’s 15-meter boat, the Sea Nymph. They had planned for an 18-day trip to Tahiti. However, storms flooded the engine, destroyed the boat’s starter and severely damaged the mast( 桅杆). The women could not use the sails effectively, as a result. They tried to return to Hawaii. In June, they got within 1,345 kilometers of Oahu. ‘We knew we weren’t going to make it , Apple said. “So that’s when we started making distress calls( 求救呼叫). We were hoping that one of our friends who like to go deep sea fishing and taking people out might have gone past the 400-mile mark and might have cruised (巡航)near where we would be. ”

　　Jenifer Appel, right, and Tasha Fuiava sat with their dogs on the deck of the USS Ash-land Monday, Oct. 30, 2017. They were thousands of miles in the wrong direction when a Taiwanese fishing boat found them. Appel said she paddled on a surfboard to the Taiwanese boat and made an emergency call.

　　If there is one thing in this world everyone wants to have more of, it’s confidence. Men and women everywhere wish they could be more positive , self-assured and secure. Confident people make it all look so easy. There is something magnetic(磁性的) and enviable about their unshakable sense of self.

　　Many mistakenly believe that these confident people are somehow special and unique ;that they have abilities that the rest of the world don’t. The truth about confidence is that it’s an acquired skill. Very few people are born with it , and even fewer remain confident through the painful process of adolescence and entering adulthood. And I’m here to tell you, confident people don’t have a special gene that makes them confident. They’re not the X-men of the self-respect world.

　　Many people try to fake confidence, and to those who are truly confident, they are easy to spot. This is not true confidence. Dependence on outside approval is not confidence.

　　Here is what true confidence looks like :Independent from outside approval. Confident people are not afraid of criticism. They know that they can’t please everyone, and they don’t waste their time trying. Confident people never seek outside approval. They have respect for others and are always willing to listen and learn ;however, the main guiding force in their lives will always be their own internal compass.

　　True confidence isn’t easy. It has to be learned , and earned , of ten through years of doubt, questioning, and mistakes. But the best things in life are rarely easy to obtain and few are worth the effort as much as confidence. Today , I’m inviting you to open yourself up to true confidence , and to the amazing gifts it brings with it. The choice to become a truly confident person may just be the most important one you’ve ever made.

　　A. They are born confident.

　　B. They have special abilities.

　　D. Seek.

　　The number of young people who play American football has decreased in the past few years according to the Aspen Institute , a research center.

　　There are many reasons for this decrease. But some parents , such as businessman Mark Cuban, will not let their children play the sport because of concern about brain injuries.

　　A recent study seems to support some of these concerns. It gives more evidence that too much American football is seriously damaging the brains of players. The Brain Bank study suggests link between sport and brain injury. Scientists at the Brain Bank are studying a kind of brain injury known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (or CTE), which is caused by collisions that push the brain around inside the skull.

　　In a recent study, the scientists at the Brain Bank found high levels of CTE in dead foot-ball players. The scientists studied the brains of 202 former players. These athletes, who had donated their brains for research, played at high school, college or professional levels. The scientists found CTE in 177 of the 202 brains. Many of those found to have CTE suffered from behavioral or mood problems during their lifetimes.

　　Amy McKee is one of the lead researchers at the Brain Bank. She said CTE can affect even the brains of young people. McKee says helmets can give some protection from CTE. But, she explains that the risks are still great. “Helmets will never be the solution for CTE... They may make it less likely, but it is always going to be a risk once you have head contact, she said. McKee and her team are now looking for ways to diagnose CTE before a player dies. They are also looking for drugs that might treat it.

　　32. Some parents won’t let their children play American football because .

　　A. their pay is small

　　B. they receive hard training

　　C. they are often injured in the leg

　　D. it is likely to injure them in the brain

　　33. What can lead to CTE?

　　A. The brain’s being crashed.

　　B. The brain’s getting ill suddenly.

　　C. The virsus’ attacking the brain.

　　D. Another person’s hitting the brain.

　　34. What can we learn about former players donating their brains?

　　A. Their brains were out of shape.

　　B. They all played in professional teams.

　　C. Many lived unhappily in their lifetime.

　　D. They were advised to support the research.

　　35. What does McKee think of helmets’ function ?

　　A. It is useless.

　　B. It is limited.

　　C. It is negative.

　　D. It is effective.
