Alexis Rocha is a 13 - year - old boy from California, the USA. He weighs 147 pounds (67 kg), but six months ago, he weighed more than 202 pounds (91 kg). How did he lose all that weight in only half a year?
“One day, I was surprised to find that I weighed about 200 pounds,” Rocha says. “I thought I had to do something.”
Rocha is from a boxing (拳击) family—his father and two elder brothers are professional boxers. So he decided to start boxing. He began with simple exercise, like sit - ups and push - ups (俯卧撑). Then Rocha started jogging. “No kid likes running,” he says. “I don’t want to do it either, but I have no choice but to keep on.”
Months later, Rocha joined a boxing club in his city. He is always the first kid at the club to begin exercising, and the last to leave with sweat (汗水) on his face. Every day he boxes for about three hours.
“Rocha works very hard,” says his coach, Hector Lopez. “It’s surprising to see him lose the pounds so quickly. I’ve never seen anything like this in my 20 years of coaching.”
Rocha is very happy with his weight now. There is a family photo in his room from 18 months ago. “Each time I look at the photo, I laugh at myself. I was so big back then,” Rocha says. “I look 100 times thinner and 1,000 times stronger now.”

答案： 1. C（九年级学生可根据原文“weighs 147 pounds (67 kg), but six months ago, he weighed more than 202 pounds (91 kg)”，202 - 147 = 55，所以至少减重55磅）
2. B（从他减重以及想变强壮的上下文可推断，他坚持跑步是因为想变瘦变强壮）
3. A（原文“It’s surprising to see him lose the pounds so quickly.”表明教练惊讶他减重如此快）
4. D（根据“He began with simple exercise, like sit - ups and push - ups. Then Rocha started jogging. Months later, Rocha joined a boxing club in his city. Every day he boxes for about three hours. It’s surprising to see him lose the pounds so quickly.”顺序为a - d - c - e - b）
5. C（文章主要讲Rocha通过努力成功减重，传达只要努力一切皆有可能）
