• 10．We've all seen it，perhaps without even noticing it - the diamond-shaped patch（補?。﹐n backpacks that seems，at best，someone's strange idea of a design feature.But it proves that the patch is actually very useful for staying organised.
     The slotted（有開槽的） patch，which is typically found on the front of backpacks，is called a "lash tab"，and is made to hold your lash tab spare clothing on ropes.For hikers and backpackers，that might mean hanging items that you often reach for，such as a water bottle，and for employees carrying a backpack to the office，it might mean hanging headphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access.
     Lash tabs once appeared only on backpacks created for adventures in the great outdoors，but in recent years it has become an important part on a variety of backpack styles.The blog Carryology reports that lash tabs were once a "leather patch that let you pass a bit of webbing through it to fasten items to your pack".Since then，the tabs have been adapted using many different styles and materials.
     If your backpack comes without the tabs and now you don't know how you'll live without them，you'll be relieved to learn that the styling of lash tabs has become so popular that you can now purchase your own and attach them to your favourite backpack.
     The tab can also prove useful for travellers，as you can even thread the laces of shoes through the tab to let them hang off your pack，giving you extra space in your checked luggage or carry-on.
  
  （1）According to the passage，some backpacks have lash tabs to

  .
  A．carry more items
  B．look more beautiful
  C．show a design feature
  D．draw people's attention
  （2）From the passage，we can learn that lash tabs

  .
  A．a(chǎn)re designed only for outdoor adventurers
  B．have been developed into various styles
  C．can be designed by the users
  D．a(chǎn)re all made of leather
  （3）What is the purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To offer comments.
  B．To give advice.
  C．To make recommendations.
  D．To provide information.

• 30．Managing Star Performers in High-Pressure Situations It is generally accepted that success produces confidence，and confidence increases the ability to handle pressure.While success can indeed produce confidence，it can also increase multiply expectations and raise pressure to unhealthy levels over time.
      Even the greatest performers feel pressure more than you might think.Researcher Geir Jordet studied 366 kicks from 37 penalty shootouts held at the world's three largest soccer tournaments.His unusual finding was that superstars scored only 65% of the time vs the 74% overall average.Even more striking，they scored far less than players who would later go on to win the same awards.These "future stars" scored 89% of the time.In short，players who have the skill but not yet the status（地位）that comes with winning a major award performed far better than those who had both the skill and status.Status，it turns out，can be a burden.
      Leading or coaching highly successful performers through a high-pressure event requires reducing the overwhelming（壓倒性的）baggage that they may attach to failure.You can start to accomplish this by asking one key question：What are the things that are most important to you—that are essential to your being—and won't change regardless of the outcome？
      On May 26，2021，outstanding tennis player Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that due to her mental health，she would not do any press interviews at the French Open.The volume（量）of tasks and distractions that surround performance can dramatically increase pressure.And as success and status build，so does volume.The requests for Osaka's time at the French Open in 2021 were vastly greater than they were in 2016 during her first Grand Slam event.
      In response to the increase in volume，Osaka—like all of us—had two choices：accommodate more or remove the volume that was creating the most pressure.She chose the latter，which is exactly the right response to pressure that comes from volume.
      Few of us will ever know the pressure of carrying the expectations of 300 million people into a physically and mentally demanding environment.But，through thoughtful conversations that aim to keep importance in viewpoint and simplify volume，we can help our own stars carry the burden of success a little more lightly.
  
  （1）What negative effects can success have？

  
  （2）According to the passage，why may superstars perform worse than "future stars"？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  Tennis player Naomi Osaka announced that she would not do any press interviews at the French Open because she didn't feel well physically.

  
  （4）How do you deal with high-pressure situations in your daily life？ （In about 40 words）
