閲讀短文，按照題目要求用英語回答問題。
As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career
but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”.
I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.

【解析】
這是一篇記敍文。文章主要講述了作者一直活在哥哥泰森的*影下，他的哥哥很酷，所以他總是被忽略。但當哥哥離開去上大學，他獨自開始學校生活時，通過加入學校的Science Olympiad，他找到了真正的自己，也按自己的理解重新定義了”酷”。
【56題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據第一段的As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected one.可知，就像任何一個弟弟會告訴你的那樣，有一個大哥哥意味着走在別人的影子裏，尤其是當你有一個很“酷”的哥哥時。多年以來，我想做我的哥哥泰森做的一切，但是無論我怎麼努力，我總是被忽略的一個。根據句意，尤其是I was always the neglected one可推測，劃線部分的意思是“得不到關注/被忽略”。故填:Receiving less attention than someone else.
Or: Being/Feeling less successful than someone else.
Or: Being/Feeling neglected.
【57題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段的but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. (但當我們搬家時，一切都改變了。泰森去上大學了，所以我不得不獨自在一個新的學校開始)可知，搬家後，作者的哥哥去上大學以及作者獨自開始新學校的生活給了作者他新的開始。故填:That his brother left for college and he changed schools.
Or: Tyson’s leaving for college and the author’s going to/attending a new school.
【58題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第三段的I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did. (我一直對化學、生物和數學着迷，但因為這些興趣不符合泰森對“酷”的定義，所以我從來沒有追求過。這一天，出於某種原因，我參加了)可知，參加Science Olympiad隊是作者成長的轉折點，因為他選擇不再做哥哥的“影子”。故填:Joining the Science Olympiad team.
Or: That he joined the Science Olympiad team.
Or: Discovering his true interests (in science).
【59題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據本段的主要內容，尤其是Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.(現在我知道我是誰了！我是泰森的弟弟，但那只是我身份的一部分。按照我自的方式，我也是個很酷的人。知道酷的定義比我以前認為的要寬泛得多，我感到很欣慰)可知，本段主要講述了作者找到了自己的身份以及自己對酷的定義。故填:(How) the author discovered a broader definition of “cool”.
Or: He has discovered his own way to be cool.
Or: He found his own identity.
【60題詳解】
開放*題目。只要回答出自己認為什麼很酷，以及原因即可。故可填:Playing football well is cool because I can show how strong I am.
Or: Playing the piano is cool because it can give me joy.
Or: Helping the poor is cool because it can give them hope and bring me pleasure.
