World Book Day author A. M. Dassu shares some tips
While helping out at her children’s swimming lessons, author A. M. Dassu noticed that one boy always put on his socks too soon afterwards. He inspired her to write a picture book that she called Soggy Socks.
Today, many years later, Dassu has published lots of children’s books. Every day, after taking her children to school, Dassu goes to her desk to write. “I leave my phone upstairs so I don’t get distracted, and try to write 800 words every day,” she says. Dassu believes that the key to being a successful writer is not necessarily talent but “getting your bottom on the seat”.
The cyclist with far to go
After 527 days, Liam Garner has completed an amazing achievement. He has cycled almost 20,000 miles from Alaska, in the very north of the US, to Ushuaia-the world’s southernmost city-in the South American country of Argentina. Garner, who was17 years old when he set off, said his trip was inspired by a book he read about a similar journey.
Garner always wanted to have a “big adventure”. During his trip, Garner travelled through 14 countries. He camped outside, stayed in hostels or was hosted by local families. He faced some challenges, including an accident that meant he had to take some time off. However, he recovered and finally reached his goal of being the youngest person ever to cycle from Alaska to Argentina.

Growing up in the Philippines,construction worker Johnny Manlugay combs the beaches each night for the eggs of sea turtles. He knows exactly what to look for,as he was trained as a child by his grandfather on how to locate the animals and their eggs. Back then,his family traded or ate them. It wasn’t about getting rich as much as it was just a part of life.
Manlugay has since turned over a new leaf. Instead,he uses his tracking skills to protect the sea turtles that visit the beaches he lives by.
“I’ve learned to love this work,”Manlugay acknowledged in an interview.“We didn’t know poaching(偷猎)was illegal and that we should not eat turtle eggs and meat.”
Manlugay delicately transferred each egg into a bucket he brought with him,as well as some sand from the turtle nests,to be handed over to Coastal Underwater Resource Management Actions(CURMA)，the group leading the conservation program on the beaches.
Established in 2009,the CURMA conservation effort has gradually transformed sea turtle poachers into valuable allies(盟友). They manage this by offering training to ultimately save thousands of turtles and keep their eggs from ending up everywhere but their nests.
“We talked to the poachers,and it turned out poaching was just another means for them to earn a living,”explained Carlos Tamayo,the director of operations.“They had no choice.”
On average,sea turtles lay 100 eggs in a nest. The number of nests in the area ranges between 35and 40 each season,which runs from October to February. Tamayo noted that the figures had doubled during the first year of the COVID pandemic.“Last season alone,for example,we had 75 nests and we released close to 9,000 hatching,”he shared.
Once collected,the eggs are then transferred to CURMA’s hatchery(孵化场)to be reburied in protected areas. Another former poacher,Jessie Cabagbag,grew up eating turtle meat and eggs like many people there.“I stopped poaching when we underwent training and were taught that what we have been doing was illegal and that these species of turtles are endangered,”he explained. Now,he admits,“I am truly proud. I am happy that I get to contribute to the conservation of the turtles.”

Do you often compare yourself to other people Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap.
Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read, it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else. Scientists say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other, live happily together and achieve more. Although comparing can be good for you, it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap. This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.
Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of Create Your Own Confidence. She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder. However, Goddard-Hill says, “Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.” “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, says Goddard-Hill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve.
If your feelings depend on what other people are doing, “Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” suggests Goddard-Hill. Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you. If you follow social media accounts that make you feel you are failing in any way, unfollow them. “Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” she says. Finally, focus on your own achievements and how you can improve. “The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill.
8. How does a comparison trap affect us
A. It makes us focus on our own behaviour.
B It stops us from learning from each other.
C. It prevents us from living happily together.
D. It bases our feelings on others’ achievements.
9. What’s true about “Comparing up” and “Comparing down”
A. Both of them usually enhance our confidence.
B. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.
C. The former is positive while the latter is negative.
D. The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad.
10. What does Goddard-Hill suggest
A. Aiming to be our best. B. Trying to be the best.
C. Trying to be a cheerleader. D. Valuing someone else’s achievements.
11. In which section of the magazine can you find the passage
A. Achievement. B. Entertainment. C. Health. D. Politics.
D
Holding the large and heavy “brick” cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.
Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search，connect,like and buy.
Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.
“My most negative opinion is we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC, the Mobile World Congress, the world’s biggest wireless trade show, where he was getting a lifetime award.
Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences.”
Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.
Cooper used the Dyna-TAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T. It was literally the world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.
Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.
The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution (革命).
Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones. He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body,” possibly as sensors“measuring your health at all times.”
Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin.
12. What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A smartphone. B. A Motorola prototype.
C. A “brick” cellphone. D. An original cellphone.
13. What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone
A. Most negative. B. Very subjective.
C. Doubtful and Disapproving. D. Optimistic but also concerned.
14. What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5
A. They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.
B. They should have easy access to various Internets.
C. They should be introduced to different audiences.
D. They should use various Internets for learning materials.
15. According to Cooper, how might smartphones be powered in the future
A. By body sensors. B. By human body.
C. By solar energy. D. By advanced batteries.

A Farewell Party
We learned that our class teacher, Mr. Read, was about to be transferred to another school in a week. All the pupils adored Mr. Read as he was a very good and dedicated teacher. He never shouted at us and was very patient with the slower pupils.
Our class decided to hold a farewell (告别) party for this model teacher. But we needed to have the permission of the school’s headmaster first. Judy was given the task of writing to the headmaster for permission to hold the party as her handwriting was the neatest and her language skills were excellent. After the letter was written, all the pupils in the class signed the letter and six pupils, myself included, went to the headmaster’s office on behalf of the whole class.
The headmaster was mildly curious when he saw the six of us in his office. We gave him the letter of request and after reading it in silence, he frowned. He said that the request was very irregular but after the six of us begged him genuinely, he finally changed his mind and gave us the permission. He allowed us to hold the party during the last period of the following Friday, which would be Mr. Read’s last day of teaching in our school.
The whole class was excited after getting the permission. We gathered together after school and planned for the party. After some debate and discussion we finally agreed on the things we needed to do.
On the following Friday, after we came into the classroom, we hid the drinks, food, and the farewell gift—the “Complete Sherlock Holmes”—in a corner so that Mr. Read would not see them as we wanted to surprise him. On the last period of school, our class monitor, Aaron, approached Mr. Read just as he was about to begin the next lesson.
“Sir, we have obtained permission from the headmaster to treat you to a simple farewell party.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Immediately the pupils brought out the drinks and food.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After Mr. Read’s speech, I was given the honour of presenting our farewell gift to him.

【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在我们的生活中，我们经常容易陷入比较陷阱，从而影响自己。专家建议我们要关注自己，和自己比较。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Although comparing can be good for you, it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap. This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.(虽然比较对你有好处，但并不总是有帮助的，你会发现自己陷入了比较的陷阱。这是指你总是拿自己和别人比较，把自己的感受建立在他们似乎做得有多好上。)”可知，比较陷阱会让我们总是把自己的感受建立在别人的成就上。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder. However, Goddard-Hill says, “Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.” “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, says Goddard-Hill, but it can also stop you wanting to improve.(她说，比较会让我们自我感觉良好或糟糕。“攀比”是指看到别人做得比你好，并以此激励自己设定更高的目标，更加努力。然而，Goddard-Hill说：“有时它会让你对自己感觉很糟糕，打击你的信心。”“比差”是指你看到某人做得好像没有你好。Goddard-Hill说，这可能会让你觉得自己做得很好，但也会让你不想提高。)”可知，攀比和比差都既有优点又有缺点。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, focus on your own achievements and how you can improve. “The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill.(最后，关注你自己的成就以及如何提高。“你能与之竞争的最好的人就是你自己，”Goddard-Hill说。)”可知，Becky Goddard-Hill建议我们与自己竞争，力争做最好的自己就好。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of Create Your Own Confidence. She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. (Becky Goddard-Hill是一名儿童治疗师（帮助孩子理解自己感受的人），也是《创造你自己的自信》一书的作者。她说，比较会让我们自我感觉良好或糟糕。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是比较会让我们的心理不健康，所以这篇文章选自健康专栏。故选C。
D
Holding the large and heavy “brick” cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.
Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search，connect,like and buy.
Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.
“My most negative opinion is we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC, the Mobile World Congress, the world’s biggest wireless trade show, where he was getting a lifetime award.
Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences.”
Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.
Cooper used the Dyna-TAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T. It was literally the world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.
Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.
The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution (革命).
Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones. He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body,” possibly as sensors“measuring your health at all times.”
Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin.
12. What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A smartphone. B. A Motorola prototype.
C. A “brick” cellphone. D. An original cellphone.
13. What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone
A. Most negative. B. Very subjective.
C. Doubtful and Disapproving. D. Optimistic but also concerned.
14. What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5
A. They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.
B. They should have easy access to various Internets.
C. They should be introduced to different audiences.
D. They should use various Internets for learning materials.
15. According to Cooper, how might smartphones be powered in the future
A. By body sensors. B. By human body.
C. By solar energy. D. By advanced batteries.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了“手机之父”马丁·库珀在接受采访时谈了自己对目前智能手机的一些看法以及他对智能手机未来的一些构想。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的定语从句“where we search，connect, like and buy.(我们可以在那里搜索、连接、点赞和购买。)”可知，划线单词能同时让人们搜索、连接网络、点赞以及上网购物，因此划线单词指的是“智能手机”。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.(库珀说他是个乐观主义者。他认为，移动技术的进步将继续改变人们的生活，但他担心智能手机会给隐私和年轻人带来风险。)”可知，库珀对智能手机的未来持有乐观的态度，但是不乏抱有担忧。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have “various Internets intended for different audiences.”(库珀看到了这些进步的阴暗面，包括对儿童的风险。他说，其中一个想法是“为不同的受众提供不同的互联网”。)”可知，马丁·库珀认为不同的受众应该被提供不同的互联网，也就是说应该给孩子提供不同的互联网。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy. The body makes energy from food, he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone. Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin.(他说，电池可能会被人的能量所取代。他认为，人体从食物中获取能量，所以它也可能为手机提供能量。例如，该设备可以放在皮肤下，而不是拿在手里。)”可知，他认为未来的手机有可能从人体获得能量。故选B。

根据下文““The first time I came to Zhadong village, I was impressed by its natural beauty. The adobe(土砖)homes fit perfectly with the green environment.” recalls Hansen Nico Rene, a 63-year-old retired policeman. (“我第一次来到扎东村，就被它的自然美景所打动。土砖房与绿色环境完美契合，”一位63岁的退休警察Hansen Nico Rene回忆道。)”可知，下文提到了Hansen Nico Rene，因此空处应该先介绍他的出现。选项F“In 2018,the arrival of a man from Luxembourg expanded their horizons across continents.(2018年，一个来自卢森堡的男人的到来将他们的视野扩展到了各大洲。)”介绍了下文退休警察的出现，与下文内容一致。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据下文“There was a fireplace, a table, and some chairs. The bathroom, if there was one, was in the pigsty. There was very little to suggest that they were living in the 21st Century.(房间里有一个壁炉、一张桌子和几把椅子。浴室，如果有话，在猪圈里。几乎没有迹象表明他们生活在21世纪。)”可知，下文描述了屋子里面的布置。选项C“But when I entered the houses, I found people were poor.(但是当我进入这些房子时，我发现人们很穷。)”引出下文屋内布置，与下文内容一致。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文““People surrounded him out of curiosity. They took pictures of him with their phones, as it was the first time we had seen a foreigner in our village.”(“人们出于好奇把他团团围住。他们用手机给他拍照，因为这是我们村里第一次见到外国人。”)”可知，下文是一个村民对Hansen Nico Rene第一次到村里时的场景的回忆。选项D“Villager Bi Yonghong,41,remembers the first time he saw Hansen.(41岁的村民Bi Yonghong还记得他第一次见到Hansen的情景。)”引出下文，与下文内容一致。故选D。

Now local authorities are leading the villagers on a new journey to rural vitalization(振兴).(到2020年11月，扎东村实现了全村脱贫。现在，当地政府正带领村民踏上振兴乡村的新征程。)”可知，扎东村已经实现了全村脱贫。由此判断，他们的努力并没有白费。选项A“Their efforts paid off.(他们的努力得到了回报。)”符合上下文内容。故选A。

We learned that our class teacher, Mr. Read, was about to be transferred to another school in a week. All the pupils adored Mr. Read as he was a very good and dedicated teacher. He never shouted at us and was very patient with the slower pupils.
Our class decided to hold a farewell (告别) party for this model teacher. But we needed to have the permission of the school’s headmaster first. Judy was given the task of writing to the headmaster for permission to hold the party as her handwriting was the neatest and her language skills were excellent. After the letter was written, all the pupils in the class signed the letter and six pupils, myself included, went to the headmaster’s office on behalf of the whole class.
The headmaster was mildly curious when he saw the six of us in his office. We gave him the letter of request and after reading it in silence, he frowned. He said that the request was very irregular but after the six of us begged him genuinely, he finally changed his mind and gave us the permission. He allowed us to hold the party during the last period of the following Friday, which would be Mr. Read’s last day of teaching in our school.
The whole class was excited after getting the permission. We gathered together after school and planned for the party. After some debate and discussion we finally agreed on the things we needed to do.
On the following Friday, after we came into the classroom, we hid the drinks, food, and the farewell gift—the “Complete Sherlock Holmes”—in a corner so that Mr. Read would not see them as we wanted to surprise him. On the last period of school, our class monitor, Aaron, approached Mr. Read just as he was about to begin the next lesson.
“Sir, we have obtained permission from the headmaster to treat you to a simple farewell party.”

【答案】A、原创
Immediately the pupils brought out the drinks and food. Mr. Read was stunned bewildered by the little farewell party. He received a freshly baked batch of chocolate cookies, which was made by our hands. “Have a taste!” We chorused expectantly. After the first mouthful, there was a very pleasant look on his face. “Thank you…all of you!” Tears welling up in his eyes, he said in a strangled voice. Then he delivered an impassioned speech, which was laden with emotion, and personal revelations. We followed Mr. Read’s speech attentively, nodding and applauding constantly.
After Mr. Read's speech, I was given the honour of presenting our farewell gift to him. He was such a devoted fan of detective stories that he almost spent all his spare time indulging in deducing and solving puzzles. So he gave me a grateful hug after he gingerly unwrapped the gift, eyes glinting with appreciation. When the party was over and all of us were supposed to go home, he hesitated for a while, his eyes growing tender. “I won’t say ‘farewell’, for this word sometimes indicates we never seeing each other again. I will say ‘goodbye’ as usual.” He bowed deeply and departed in the last rays of the setting sun, with tears streaming down his face.
B、官方范文
Immediately the pupils brought out the drinks and food. For an instant, Mr. Read was speechless and his eyes took on a misty look. Then, he was back to his normal self again. As he took his first bite of a cake, everyone cheered and clapped. After the meal, Mr. Read gave a farewell speech. He spoke for fifteen minutes, thanking the class for taking the trouble to hold the party and for being such caring pupils. His speech was also peppered with sound advice for us.
After Mr. Read’s speech, I was given the honour of presenting our farewell gift to him. We knew him to be a great fan of mystery and detective novels, so we had bought for him the “Complete Sherlock Holmes”. When he unwrapped the gift, we saw two large beads of tears rolling down his cheeks. He was very deeply moved. Just at that time, the school bell rang. It was time to say goodbye, and each pupil hugged Mr. Read for one last time before heading for home.
