As the world reacts to Kobe Bryants tragic passing on January 26, 2020, his massive influ
10、ence extends far beyond the sports world. He wasnt just a record-setting basketball player, devoted father, and Oscar- winning producer.

11、successful businesspeople often ones hed never even met before and picking their brains about how they became successful. He was willing to put the legwork into growing his success, even if it meant admitting that he always had lots more to learn. In a 2014 interview with Bloomberg, Bryant described
12、 his process and name-dropped some of the people to whom hed reached out. “I want to know more about how they build their businesses and how they run their companies and how they see the world,” he said. At the time, he was building his company, Kobe Inc.“Some of the questions that Ill ask will seem
13、 really, really simple and stupid, quite honestly, for them,” he admitted. “But if I dont know, I dont know. You have to ask.” Humbling, maybe, but necessary. Who were some of these successful people that the already-very-successful Kobe Bryant so looked up to? To name a few: Oprah Winfrey, Mark Par
14、ker and president and CEO of Nike. Three years ago, Lowercase Capital founder Chris Sacca described his own interactions with Bryant.

16、sire to do more and be better is inspiring for sure. While the rest of us may not be able to just dial up Oprah or high-profile CEOs,we can certainly follow his example in other ways.

A study conducted by the UN health agency found 81 percent of adolescents aged between l1 and 17fail to get at least one hour of moderate to intense daily physical activity such as walking, riding a bike or playing sports. The repor
21、t on global trends for adolescent physical activity is based on survey data collected on 1.6 million students from 146 countries and territories between 2001 and 2015. The findings are troubling because physical activity is associated with better heart and respiratory functioning, mental health and
22、cognitive activity, which have serious impact on student learning. Exercise, along with healthy eating, is also viewed by experts as key to controlling a global obesity problem. The report did not mention why adolescents are so inactive, but a WHO co-author of the study suggested digital technology
23、means more young people spend time on electronic devices. The study also found gender differences worldwide, with 85 percent of girls and 78 percent of boys surveyed failing to hit the daily exercise target. Male youths in rich Western countries and female youths in South Asia get the most exercise.
24、 While in China, the qualified rate of Chinese students physical test in 2018 was 91.91 percent, and the excellent and good rate was 30.57 percent. From 2016 to 2018, the overall health status of students in the country showed an upward trend. However, excluding the statistical error factors, a chan
25、ge of only 1 to 2 percentage points does not indicate that the physical health of Chinese students has improved significantly, said Liu Bo, director of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education in Tsinghua University. The current rate of obesity among students is still high, according to
26、 a report released by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Therefore, we should activate families, schools and society to guide students to develop healthy habits since childhood, do more exercise and prevent diseases such as myopia and obesity. 8Which of the following is true according to the study?

30、) declared an official name for the new coronavirus disease:COVID-19, which stands for Corona Virus Disease 19. Public health experts agree with the choice not to name the disease after a geographic region in China. “If the new name had included a reference to Wuhan it would put a tremendous insult
31、to the people of Wuhan who are the victims of the disease,” Wendy Parmet, a law professor at Northeastern University and public health expert, tells Time. “People tend to think of the disease as belonging to, as being a characteristic of some group of people associated with the place name, which can
32、 be really offensive,” Parmet says. “To be thought of as a hole of disease is not going to be productive. It encourages the next city not to come forward, not to report a disease if your city is labeled as the disease.” Experts note that there is a “long history” of diseases being named in ways that
33、 include particular groups of people or places or animals. Around the 1500s in France, Syphilis was called the Italian disease and in Italy it was called the French disease. The 1918 influenza pandemic was widely called the Spanish Flu in the U.S. even though it did not originate in Spain. In 2009,
34、the WHO stopped using the term “swine flu” and replaced it with Influenza A (H1N1), following a drop in the pork market. Ebola was named after a river near where the outbreak first originated. Arnold Monto, a professor of epidemiology （流行病学） at the University of Michigans School of Public Health, sa
35、ys its important to be sensitive to different cultures when naming a disease. “If you have a name which is regional and it spreads globally, its confusing,” Monto says. For the disease, its ideal to have a name thats easy to pronounce like COVID-19. Parmet says: its short,easy to say and two syllabl
36、es. “You want something thats easy and that people are going to keep using otherwise theyre going to substitute it with more problematic slang,” she says. 12Why did WHO name coronavirus disease COVID-19? ATo save the victims of the disease. BTo make it easy to remember its name. CTo avoid putting a
37、bad name on Wuhan people. DTo be more productive than other organizations. 13What can we know about COVID-19? AIt originated in Spain. BIt was named after a river.

38、bout? AThe long history of many diseases. BBad effects diseases bring to people. CSome infectious diseases spreading in the world. DExamples of naming diseases after people or regions. 15What can be the best title of the passage? AA fast-spreading disease COVID-19 BCOVID-19 the diseases name matters

48、is not replaceable. Through it we see our family, we hang out with friends, we laugh, we cry, we work, and we live. This is quite a serious thought, and one which makes me _24_ the way I treat my time and the time given to me by others. Whenever I ask someone to do something, I am essentially asking
