   成功需要努力,不经历风雨,怎能见彩虹?同学们应该珍惜宝贵的时间,去创造更多机会,实现自己的梦想!让我们一起阅读下文,看看Tani是怎样经过自己的不懈努力,最终赢得众多奖项、获得冠军的。
   On March 19,2019, eight-year-old Tani won the New York Chess Championship(纽约象棋冠军赛) of his age group. But the boy, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
   Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017. A church helped him enter the primary school, P. S. 116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a part-time teacher Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven-year-old asked his mother to allow him to join the club. Not able to afford the chess classes, she emailed Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could learn it for free.
   Though the chess club helps, it’s largely believed that Tani’s success lies in hard work. The boy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday, Tani goes to a free 3-hour class to improve his game skills.
   Not surprisingly, Tani’s story, first reported by The New York Times, has brought him great support from the public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe activity for Tani and his family so that he could continued his chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money keeps coming. But the family donates(捐贈) most of the money to the church and to those poor family!
   Tani has also received offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family have politely refused all of them and chosen to continue Tani’s education at P. S. 116.
   While excited about his new life, Tani is ready to meet great challenges. He is busy preparing for the National Primary Championships. Winning the competition will bring the chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world’s youngest chess grandmaster(大师). The record has been 17 years by the Russian chess player Karjakin, who won the title at the age of 12.

“世界读书日”设立的宗旨是,让读书成为人们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。在建设书香校园、书香中国的时候,我们重温古人的劝学诗文,从中能够得到更多的教益。   初中语文课文里就有许多古人劝学的名言警句。下面一起来学习。   《论语》中记述了孔子的许多劝学语录,如“学而时习之,不亦说乎”“温故而知新,可以为师矣”等等。从这些论述中,可以看出孔子对弟子学习的要求,不仅要学习,而且要不断复习巩固,在温习

列表法和画树状图法是计算概率的两个基本方法,二者各有不同的优点. 那么,在解题中如何对二者进行“择优录用”呢?下面以中考题为例进行介绍.   一、当试验中涉及两个因素,并且可能出现的结果数目较多时,优先考虑列表法.   例1(2019·湖北·孝感)一个不透明的袋子中装有四个小球,上面分别标有数字-2,-1,0,1,它们除了数字不同外,其他完全相同.   (1)随机从袋子中摸出一个小球,摸出的
