AI threat (+4, Informative)
by Iamthecheese on Thursday March 30, 2023
AI threatens our power base. It’s being developed too widely for us to control and is being developed by people who aren’t even in the “in” group. The methods are generally too well known. We need a pause to come up with effective regulation (规则).

Seems to me this exact argument could have been used against the World Wide Web at one time. We see how well regulation of that worked out. I don’t think the problem is AI.

This letter doesn’t make any sense to me. Large language models like GPT are just fancy autocomplete. They aren’t even close to true “intelligence”.

A freeze would have no meaning (+3, Insightful)
Why stop? (+3, Interesting)
by Crashmarik on Tuesday April 04, 2023
Trying to stop its development will just drive it underground and make certain the people who should have nothing to do with it control it. Instead we should be making this the biggest research project possible, preferably with large public prizes for hitting milestones.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是关于“你是否同意人工智能的发展应该暂时停止？”的投票结果并展示了几条评论。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“by Iamthecheese on Thursday March 30, 2023”部分中“AI threatens our power base. It’s being developed too widely for us to control(人工智能威胁着我们的权力基础。它被发展得太广泛，我们无法控制)”和“We need a pause to come up with effective regulation (规则).(我们需要暂停，想出有效的调控办法)”可知，Iamthecheese认为人工智能发展得太快而无法控制，需要暂缓。由此可知，Iamthecheese可能会投票支持暂停人工智能的发展。故选A。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据“by Quintessencesluglord on Friday March 31, 2023”部分中“Seems to me this exact argument could have been used against the World Wide Web at one time. We see how well regulation of that worked out. I don’t think the problem is AI.(在我看来，这个论点曾经可以用来反对万维网。我们看到监管的效果有多好。我认为问题不在于人工智能)”可知，是否应该暂停人工智能的发展这个问题正如人们曾经反对万维网一样，现在我们看到对万维网监管的效果有多好，故问题不在于人工智能本身。由此推知，提及万维网是为了支持“问题不在于人工智能本身”这个观点。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“by Iamthecheese on Thursday March 30, 2023”部分中“It’s being developed too widely for us to control(它发展得太广泛，我们无法控制)”以及“by Crashmarik on Tuesday April 04, 2023”部分中“Trying to stop its development will just drive it underground and make certain the people who should have nothing to do with it control it.(试图阻止它的发展只会逼其转入地下，并确保与它无关的人控制它)”可知，Iamthecheese和Crashmarik对人工智能的共同担忧是其发展可能很难控制。故选D。

Jeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter (贫民窟) on the suburbs of the capital Freetown, having to burn wood for lighting and heating. Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how, in addition to the smog making breathing problems common, his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.
Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone—with just 26% of the population having access to electricity. In rural parts of the country, only 6% of people have electricity access, most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries. As a result, it’s led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood, which leaves Sierra Leone highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides. Families’ reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.
These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fuelled Jeremiah’s passion for renewable energy and climate change advocacy. At 17, when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda, he launched a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations (震动) from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current. It is different from established renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.
Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah’s neighbourhoods, Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown. With just two devices, the start-up provided free electricity to 150 households comprising around 1,500 citizens, as well as 15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.
Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field, which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.
4. What affected the young fellows’ academic performance?
A. The war. B. The smog. C. The poor lighting. D. The breathing problem.
5. What can we learn about “energy poverty” from paragraph 2?
A. It is caused by solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries. B. It has a worse impact on the city area.
C. It brings about the destruction of forests. D. It increases the risk of forest fires.
6. What is special about Optim Energy?
A. It draws on vibrations to make electricity. B. It upgrades the use of solar energy.
C. It runs a pilot program throughout the city. D. It helps 9,000 students return to school.
7. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.
B. Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
C. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
D. We are all in the gutter, but some are making it better.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在贫民窟里长大的Jeremiah Thoronka看到人们因为能源匮乏而生活艰辛，发明了将车辆和道路上的行人产生的振动转化为电流的设备。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how, in addition to the smog making breathing problems common, his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.( Jeremiah亲眼看到，除了烟雾使呼吸问题变得常见之外，他的同龄人由于缺乏良好的照明而在学业上落后)”可知，光线太差影响了这些年轻人的学习成绩。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In rural parts of the country, only 6% of people have electricity access, most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries. As a result, it’s led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood, which leaves Sierra Leone highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides.(在该国的农村地区，只有6%的人能用上电，其中大多数人使用太阳能灯和干电池。因此，它导致了森林的破坏，因为人们砍伐树木作为柴火，这使得塞拉利昂对洪水和山体滑坡等极端事件高度敏感)”可知，“能源贫困”带来了森林的破坏。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At 17, when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda, he launched a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations (震动) from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current.(17岁时，他在卢旺达的非洲领导大学学习，创办了一家名为Optim Energy的初创公司，将车辆和道路上的行人产生的振动转化为电流)”可知，Optim Energy特别之处是可以利用它振动来发电。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Jeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter (贫民窟) on the suburbs of the capital Freetown, having to burn wood for lighting and heating. Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how, in addition to the smog making breathing problems common, his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.(Jeremiah Thoronka出生在塞拉利昂内战期间，在首都弗里敦郊区贫民窟里长大，不得不烧木头来照明和取暖。Jeremiah看到，除了烟雾使呼吸问题变得常见之外，他的同龄人由于缺乏良好的照明而在学业上落后)”结合文章主要讲述了在贫民窟里长大的Jeremiah Thoronka看到人们因为能源匮乏而生活艰辛，发明了将车辆和道路上的行人产生的振动转化为电流的设备。可推知，文章想要传达的信息是：我们都生活在贫民窟里，但有些人正在让它变得更好。故选D。
C
For a century, Jordan Creek cut across downtown Springfield. Over the decades, the stream regularly flooded into the city’s commercial heart. Residents had been tired of the floods so they created concrete banks to cage the stream and in 1932 buried the waterway, hiding it in culverts (排水管) under city streets. It was man’s attempt to control floodwater. That was the old way of thinking.
For a while, that controlled the floods. But the roads and other hard surfaces prevented water from going into the ground and allowing more rainwater into the enclosed streams than they could handle. Eventually, the water won. The neighborhood flooded in 2000, 2008 and 2016. For two decades, the city discussed freeing the stream and allowing water to run over the floodplain. Finally, a project to uncover 1,100 feet of Jordan Creek and build three bridges is moving forward. The new way of thinking is to give the water some room, leave some areas for floods and just let nature be nature.
Uncovering buried waterways to bring them back to life is a process known as “daylighting”. Coverings are removed and an attempt is made to restore the natural flow and the surrounding ecosystem.
The primary goal of the project is flood control. But the work has a variety of benefits. Native plantings will help improve the water quality by filtering (过滤) rainwater. The stream will replace an unsightly landscape and become a “string of pearls (珍珠)” connecting parks and green areas in the city’s “Quality of Place” initiative.
The benefits go beyond that. Stream restoration is neighborhood restoration. The project may promote economic development and increase property values and tax revenue. While the projects can be expensive, they end costly maintenance. Returning to nature is cheaper than maintaining concrete culverts.
8. What did Springfield citizens in the 1930s probably believe?
A. Man can control nature.
B. Life is prior to development.
C. Business is the heart of a city.
D. Residents should not live by a river.
9. What was one result of covering Jordan Creek?
A. Three bridges were removed. B. Water went into the ground.
C. Floods hit the neighborhood. D. Rainwater was well handled.
10. Which aspect of the project does paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A. Economic value. B. Construction planning.
C. Flood management. D. Environmental impact.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Solution That Proves a Problem
B. Old Thinking Inspires New Changes
C. “Buried” Streams Turn into Urban Centers
D. “Daylighting” Buried Waterways to Refresh Cities
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们改变治理约旦河的方法——将原来掩埋的河道挖开，以及该办法带来的好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Residents had been tired of the floods so they created concrete banks to cage the stream and in 1932 buried the waterway, hiding it in culverts (排水管) under city streets. It was man’s attempt to control floodwater. That was the old way of thinking.(居民们已经厌倦了洪水，所以他们建造了混凝土堤岸来阻挡溪流，并于1932年将水道掩埋，藏在城市街道下的涵洞中。人类试图控制洪水。那是旧的思维方式)”可推知，20世纪30年代Springfield的市民可能认为人类可以控制大自然的力量，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“in 1932 buried the waterway, hiding it in culverts (排水管) under city streets.(并于1932年将水道掩埋，藏在城市街道下的涵洞中)”和第二段中“Eventually, the water won. The neighborhood flooded in 2000, 2008 and 2016. (最终，洪水取得了胜利。这个社区在2000年、2008年和2016年遭遇了洪水)”可知，人们埋上Jordan Creek这条水道后，洪水袭击了社区。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Native plantings will help improve the water quality by filtering (过滤) rainwater. The stream will replace an unsightly landscape and become a “string of pearls (珍珠)” connecting parks and green areas in the city’s “Quality of Place” initiative.(本土种植将有助于通过过滤雨水来改善水质。该溪流将取代难看的景观，成为连接公园和绿化地区的“珍珠链”，以配合城市的“优质地点”计划)”可知，第四段主要讨论了该项目对环境带来的影响，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“For two decades, the city discussed freeing the stream and allowing water to run over the floodplain. Finally, a project to uncover 1,100 feet of Jordan Creek and build three bridges is moving forward. The new way of thinking is to give the water some room, leave some areas for floods and just let nature be nature.(二十年来，这座城市一直在讨论解放这条小溪，让洪水漫过平原。最后，一个挖掘约旦河1100英尺并建造三座桥梁项目正在向前推进。新的思维方式是给水一些空间，留一些地方让洪水泛滥，让自然成为自然)”和最后一段“The benefits go beyond that. Stream restoration is neighborhood restoration. The project may promote economic development and increase property values and tax revenue. While the projects can be expensive, they end costly maintenance. Returning to nature is cheaper than maintaining concrete culverts.(好处远不止于此。溪流恢复就是邻里恢复。该项目可以促进经济发展，增加财产价值和税收收入。虽然这些项目可能很昂贵，但它们终结了昂贵的维护费用。回归自然比维护混凝土涵洞便宜)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们改变治理约旦河的方法——将原来掩埋的河流挖开，以及该办法带来的好处，D项“让地下水道“重见光明”，这使城市焕然一新”适合做文章标题，故选D。
D
Around 50,000 years ago, Homo sapiens (智人) left Africa and travelled across the world; around the same time, all the other species began to disappear. Why the other humans died out may be the biggest confusion of the early Palaeolithic age. The common explanation is that H. sapiens was brainier than other species. These humans had better communication skills and fighting ability.
According to Jonathan Kennedy, the author of Pathogenesis, there is a better explanation for why H. sapiens won out: their immune systems were superior. As their populations expanded, genetic (基因的) diversity increased and, since they lived in Africa, much closer to the equator (赤道) than other humans, H. sapiens would have been exposed to a greater range of animals carrying a variety of virus.
As H. sapiens moved across the world, they would have been protected against the diseases carried by the other humans they met. The converse was not true, however, meaning other humans were less resistant to the diseases carried by H. sapiens.
From there, Mr Kennedy goes on to rewrite much of the history of life, with virus at the forefront. Human civilisations have been shaped by diseases and infections. Some of his most striking stories come from the Spanish defeat of the Americas. The popular story here is that the Europeans had better technology and weapons with which to beat the less advanced societies in the Americas. That’s not entirely true, Mr Kennedy says. The introduction of infectious diseases from Europe, he writes, resulted in a 90% fall in the population in the Americas.
There is a clue of pattern about this book: as soon as a new set of characters is introduced, you know infection appears. But that is just a minor criticism in a convincing account of the role of viruses in world history. It helps that Mr Kennedy’s epidemiological writing is dotted with pop-culture references: The Lord of the Rings, 2001: A Space Odyssey and so on. Despite the big ideas, therefore, his book is an entertaining read.
12. What is essential to H. sapiens’ survival according to Jonathan Kennedy?
A. Their communication skills. B. Their immune systems.
C. Their physical fitness. D. Their intelligence level.
13. What does the underlined word “converse” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Opposite. B. Change. C. Conclusion. D. Talk.
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Mr Kennedy goes on to rewrite the history of virus.
B. Mr Kennedy acknowledges the popular story.
C. The Americas were defeated mainly for infectious diseases.
D. The Americas had advanced technology and weapons.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Mr Kennedy’s book?
A. Critical. B. Admiring. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Jonathan Kennedy的《发病机理》一书，该作品从针对传染病的免疫系统角度解释了智人在人类进化中胜出、美洲人口锐减的原因，是一本宏达同时有趣的书。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to Jonathan Kennedy, the author of Pathogenesis, there is a better explanation for why H. sapiens won out: their immune systems were superior.（《发病机理》一书的作者Jonathan Kennedy认为，智人胜出的原因有一个更好的解释：他们的免疫系统更优越。）”可知，Jonathan Kennedy认为智人存活下来关键在于他们的免疫系统。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“As H. sapiens moved across the world, they would have been protected against the diseases carried by the other humans they met. The converse was not true, however, meaning other humans were less resistant to the diseases carried by H. sapiens.（当智人在世界各地迁徙时，他们可能会免受他们遇到的其他人类携带的疾病的侵害。然而，……的情况并不成立，这意味着其他人类对智人携带的疾病的抵抗力较弱。）”可知，智人可以抵抗其他人类携带的疾病，但其他人类无法抵抗智人携带的疾病。由此推知，后者和前者这样反过来的情况并不成立，converse意为“相反的”，与opposite意思一致。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The introduction of infectious diseases from Europe, he writes, resulted in a 90% fall in the population in the Americas.（他写道，从欧洲传入的传染病导致美洲的人口减少了90%。）”可知，美洲人口是因为传染病减少的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，Jonathan Kennedy的《发病机理》一书从针对传染病的免疫系统角度，解释了智人在人类进化中胜出、美洲人口锐减的原因，再结合文章最后一句“Despite the big ideas, therefore, his book is an entertaining read.（因此，尽管他的书思想宏大，但却是一本有趣的读物。）”可知，作者认为这本书思想宏达，同时很有趣味。由此推知，作者对该书是充满欣赏的。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most of us associate awe (敬畏) with something rare and beautiful: nature, music or a spiritual experience. But people can waken awe too, and not just public heroes. Research shows that we can be awed by our nearest and dearest — the people sitting next to us on the couch, chatting on the other end of the phone, looking back at us over Zoom. ____16____
Often, interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps. ____17____ John Bargh said he was “truly awestruck” — by his 5-year-old daughter while dining in a McDonald’s. When she heard another child crying, she grabbed the toy from her Happy Meal, walked over to the boy and handed it to him.
Though we can’t make someone else behave in a way that’s awesome, we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do and boost the emotion’s positive effects.
Question your assumptions. Do you believe your partner is insensitive or your sibling is selfish? There may be a little truth to that, but it’s never the whole tale. ____18____ To increase your chances of feeling awed by the other person, ask yourself what’s going on in his or her life that you don’t know about.
Name awe when you see it. Speaking out “Wow, that was awesome!” is a simple way to help you identify and remember a special experience. Savor (品味) it in the moment and then tell others about it. This will reinforce your positive emotions. ____19____ Studies show that you will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.
____20____ This makes the other person feel good and can give your relationship a boost. And it will help you too: Studies show that people who practice gratitude have significantly higher levels of happiness and psychological well-being.
A. Thank the person who awed you.
B. And recall it or write about it later.
C. Psychologists call this interpersonal awe.
D. It’s easy to forget that it can be awesome too.
E. But interpersonal awe does happen in smaller moments.
F. Here’s why you should recognize those moments of interpersonal awe.
G. The story you tell yourself gets in the way of catching people at their best.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了人与人之间也可以产生或大或小的敬畏，我们可以抛弃自己的成见，用心观察他人令人敬畏的时刻，积极表达、体验敬畏，向给我们带来敬畏的人表达感恩。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Research shows that we can be awed by our nearest and dearest — the people sitting next to us on the couch, chatting on the other end of the phone, looking back at us over Zoom.（研究表明，我们可能会对最亲近的人感到敬畏——坐在沙发上、在电话那头聊天、在Zoom上回看我们的人。）”和下一段中“Often, interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps.（通常，人际敬畏是对生活中重大而彻底的变化的反应，比如目睹婴儿迈出第一步。）”可知，本段引入了对身边的人感到敬畏这一话题，下一段谈到了人际敬畏，空处在本段末尾，需起到衔接的作用，会提到“人际敬畏”这一概念。C项“心理学家称之为人际敬畏。”符合语境，呼应后文。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Often, interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps.（通常，人际敬畏是对生活中重大而彻底的变化的反应，比如目睹婴儿迈出第一步。）”和后文“John Bargh said he was “truly awestruck” — by his 5-year-old daughter while dining in a McDonald’s. When she heard another child crying, she grabbed the toy from her Happy Meal, walked over to the boy and handed it to him.（John Bargh说，在麦当劳吃饭时，他“真的被5岁的女儿震惊了”。当她听到另一个孩子在哭时，她从她的开心乐园餐中抓起玩具，走到男孩面前递给他。）”可知，本段在举例说明人际敬畏，前文是大的例子，后文是小的例子，空处需提出人际敬畏可能很小，从而过渡到后文。E项“但人与人之间的敬畏确实发生在更小的时刻。”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据前文“There may be a little truth to that, but it’s never the whole tale.（这可能有一点道理，但绝不是全部。）”和后文“To increase your chances of feeling awed by the other person, ask yourself what’s going on in his or her life that you don’t know about.（为了增加你对对方感到敬畏的机会，问问自己他或她的生活中发生了什么你不知道的事情。）”可知，本段讨论从自己角度出发的想法可能会扭曲了他人真实的面貌，妨碍人际敬畏的产生，建议倾听别人的叙述，空处会说明这一妨碍，起到衔接的作用。G项“你给自己讲的故事会妨碍你抓住别人最好的一面。”符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Name awe when you see it.（当你看到敬畏的时候，表达出来。）”、“Savor (品味) it in the moment and then tell others about it.（在那一刻品味它，然后告诉别人。）”和后文“Studies show that you will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.（研究表明，只要回忆起敬畏的经历，你就会再次感到敬畏。）”可知，本段讨论积极地表达、回味、体验敬畏，空处需承接前文的这两个建议，进一步讨论如何对待敬畏的感受，呼应后文的回忆。B项“然后回忆一下或者写下来。”符合语境，其中的“recall”和后文的“remembering”呼应。故选B。
【20题详解】
空处位于段首，需统领本段内容。根据后文“This makes the other person feel good and can give your relationship a boost.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Don’t pass to Makayla,” Olivia’s teammate Jordan whispered. “She’s not serious about soccer,” said Jordan as she adjusted her Orange Team shirt. The score was tied, 1-1, after halftime.
Thinking about what Jordan had said, Olivia got into position for the second half. As the center midfielder, Olivia loved to pass. She also loved it when all her teammates, including Makayla, had the chance to touch the ball. But Jordan was right. Makayla hardly ever took a shot.
After the judge blew the whistle (哨子) to start, Olivia received the ball from Jordan. She dribbled (运球) it, keeping it close. Jordan called for the ball, but was surrounded by the Green Team’s defense. Directly across from Olivia, Makayla waved her arms. She was all by herself. Hesitantly, Olivia passed the ball to her. But her shot missed, and the ball rolled out of bounds.
“I told you,” Jordan said, shaking her head. Probably Jordan was right. Olivia needed to find a way to pass the ball to Jordan, the team’s top scorer, to win the game.
After the Green Team threw in the ball from the sideline, Olivia received it and this time she pushed the ball to Jordan. Jordan received the ball, turned, and shot toward the far corner of the goal. Still, they failed.
As the other team set up for a goal kick, Olivia saw Makayla still standing inside the 18-yard box. The judge signaled her to move. The Orange Team wasn’t allowed there. When Makayla ran toward Olivia, she tripped and fell. “Are you OK?” Olivia asked. Makayla upped and rubbed (揉) her knees. “Yep, I know I’m still learning, but I love soccer.” “Me too,” Olivia said.
The Green Team rocketed a kick. Olivia stepped in front of her defender and trapped the ball. Jordan called for a pass, but she wasn’t open. Olivia held on to the ball. She cut right, then left, leaving a defender in the dust. With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
With another defender closely behind to attack, Olivia had no choice.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With another defender closely behind to attack, Olivia had no choice. Olivia could only pass the ball to Makayla, but inside she didn't want to pass it to her. She wanted to pass it to Jordan. Makayla was standing in front of the net, excited to receive a pass from Olivia, when one of the Green players lunged at Makayla, trying to block Makayla's goal. Makayla split the ball to her right, eluded the other player, and then volleyed it, which then deceived the goalie and sailed safely into the goal.
The crowd broke into thunderous applause and cheers. Makayla was shocked. She didn't expect it. That's when her teammates, running toward her, especially Jordan, hugged Makayla. She thanked Makayla for kicking the ball in and saving the team. Olivia came over and told Jordan that football is a team game. We need to work together and trust each player. They persevered and won the game.
