Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long
and hard about it and it's true. I would be different if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle
accessory into a life lesson that I carry with me today
My parents were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to
actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don't know how she did it. Managing the family
budget must have been hard, but she made it look effortless. If we complained, we'd hear
something like, "I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in
your room, a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party." We had to earn our allowance by
doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of ou
eoffee table. My brothers can no doubt remcmber hours spent cleaning the house, Like the two
little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until
that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if
something was lost, it was not replaccd.
It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed- and
there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked
at me and I knew-I kncw-I had to have it.
"It's beautiful," my mother said. "What a neat basket."
I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while, But then I guess I couldn't stand
it any longer, "Mom, please can I please, please get it? I'll do what you say, but I need that
basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom, Please?"
I was desperate.

"You know," she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was
the coolest thing ever, "If you save up you could buy this yourself."
"By the time I make enough it'll be gone!"
"There might be anothcr way."
And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in
some hiding place I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by
extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or
collccting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then,
weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had
the exact amount we'd agreed upon...
Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times
appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells
and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn
of events.
And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life: "Honcy, your basket is
extra-special," Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. "Your basket is special because you
paid for it yourself."

A. her paying plan was spoiled
B. a neighborhood girl bought a nicer bike

27. What is the life lesson the author learned from her mother?

During a judging period for a recent short story contest, I started thinking a lot about
dialogue tags. Because in many submissions characters didn't "say" a thing, They shoated, they
inquired, they assumed. Some characters screamed while others murmured. But no one "said'

anything. And I started wondering why.
Why do we tell beginner writers to avoid creative dialogue tags in the first place? Why do we
insist that characters should stick to "said,""asked," and the occasional "sighed?" And, if the
advice is so oft-repeated, why are writers still unable to resist the siren call of weep, scream.
snap, or laugh?
The more I thought about it, the more I understood the temptation. We're always
encouraged to use strong, actionable verbs in our prose. Why walk when you can skip or wander?
Why cry when you can sob or weep? Why wouldn't we reach for exciting verbs instead of mild-
boring dull-blah said? Why couldn't each verb be a tiny sparkling gem in its own right
The problem, I think, is that every jewel needs a setting to become something more than the
sum of its parts. Without something to provide structure, a collection of the world's most
glorious diamonds would still only amount to a heap of rocks.
And a dialogue tag should never, ever be the diamond in any given sentence
Dialogue is your diamond, friends. When we read your work, your dialogue should be so
bright, so sparkling, so lifelike, so wonderfully realistic that our brains "hear" each line instead
of merely reading it. We don't need to be told a character is shouting - we can sense it in the way
they spit out words, clench fists, or storm from the room.
A. dialogue tag is a mere signpost along the narrative journey, gently indicating who said
what. It's part of a story's experience, but it's not part of the story itself, nor should it be
treated as such. Dialogue tags are similar to lighting in a Broadway play: without it, the audience
would have no idea what was going on, but it usually strives to shine without calling too much
attention to itself.
What's more, readers may not initially imagine a particular line being "sobbed." When we
reach the end of a sentence and find out our leading lady has actually sobbcd instcad of whispered.
it pulls us right out of the story. We pause. We reread the line. We adjust our understanding and
begin again. But that wonderful momentum when we're fully immersed in the scene, holding our
breath to find out what our heroine says next, is lost
Creating a successful work of fiction is about giving the rencler all the materials they need to
build your fictional world in their mind and not a scrap more. Readers need believable dialogue.
They need voiees so eompelling that they pop right off the page and into our ears, And if you've
created dynamic characters who speak words we can really hear you will never need to tell us how
something was said.

Animal products could produce electricity, one British power company warns - and to give
consumers a choice, it's offering what it calls the world's first vegan electricity
Ecotricity, a renewable energy provider in the U. K., announced its electricity and gas would
be certified vegan after it claimed half of British homes are powered by electricity made from
animal byproducts. Company founder Dale Vince accused companies that consider themselves"
ethical" or"green" of keeping consumers in the dark about their "secret ingredient.""We need
clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed choices," he said in a
statement.
The company offers " vegan energy" in wind and solar power, and it's developing"sea
power" produced by wave oscillation and marine currents. None of Ecotricity's electrical sources
contains animal byproducts that the company knew of before it made the announcement, but it
registered with the Vegan Society to ccrtify its grecn status
Though not widely open, it's fairly common for power companies to get electricity from
animals through anaerobic digestion(厌氧消化). Animal waste is generally considered a clean.
renewable energy source, Turning manure(肥料) into fuel eliminates a sizeable chunk of carbon
pollution and lessens power companies' reliance on "dirtier" fossil fuels like coal and oil. Plus,
animals provide a limitless supply of waste, while Earth's natural gas stores are finite, so
crackers wouldn't need to drill into rock to extract it.
Cows are pictured at a Wagyu cattle breeding center in June in Petit-Mars, France. A U.K
energy company announeed the first " vegan electricity" after warning consumers about animal
byproducts in energy production.
After anaerobic digestion, farmcrs can use the liquid remains of the manure as fertilizer and
make chips for animal bedding from the solid leftovers, chemical engineer DavidSimakoy told

"Wc are talking about producing thc amount of rencwablc natural gas enough to heat
thousands of homes from just a single large landfill site," he said. "We need to stop pumping
carbon from underground into the atmosphere and start caring about introducing more and more
rencwable energy to make our lives morc sustainablc."
Renewable energy only accounts for 11 percent of energy consumption in the U.S., according
to the Energy Information Administration. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80
percent of the country's clectricity, and that's unlikcly to change: likc other clcan energy
sources, anacrobic digestion is still more cxpensive than traditional sourccs of cncrgy
32. According to Dale Vince, _.
A. vegan elcctricity and gas shouldn't use animal byproducts
B. it's not certain whether Ecotricity has used animal byproducts
C. it's necessary for consumers to know how electricity is produced
D. people don't need to make choices of whether to use vegan electricity
33. In Paragraph 2, "secret ingredient" refers to __.
A. animal waste
B. vegan energy
C. an energy provider
D. energy labeling
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It's forbidden to get exploited natural gas since it is limited
B. Clean energy may not replace fossil fuels to be used by families.
C. Power companies can rely on animal waste to produce clean energy
D. The waste of cows is first used to produce clean energy in the world

A. It has been a mainstrcam.

It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things, rather than things
like chocolates and smart-phoncs. 36 People who have the support of family members and
also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and
knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and
take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a
friend in need or carrying a ncighbor's shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. 37
In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2, ooo bars of chocolates
(not all at once, of course).

It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. 38 But being
healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular
exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce
stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins
(feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your
exams,get exercising. 39
Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? 40 Teenagers tend to go to
bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly
affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate
and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least
eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it's time to put it all into practice.
A. You'll also find that you sleep better.
B. Even a simple smile can work wonders.
C. One essential factor is human relationships
D. In the end, happiness comes from good sleep.
E. If so, it's probably because you haven't had enough of it
F. Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material.
G. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth

More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs
means they are doing so for 41 periods.
The rise of "city breaks" 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, casier on the pocket and annual
leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions
have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use
the same infrastructure(基础设施) as residents to reach them."Too many people do the same
thing at the exact same time," says Font, an expert in tourism. "For 43 . the city no longer
belongs to them."
In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance,
Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city center on its official
website."That takes courage, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the
website, and it means they can say to their residents they're doing all they can to 45

But it also proposes a better way, which is called "de-tourism": sustainable travel tips and

visitors have a better sense of the 5o , "We should be asking how we can get tourists to

much easier to integrate their bchaviors with ours."
Font says cities could stand to be more 52 about the tourists they try to attract when the
current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far thcy've come. "You're
thinking. 'yeah but at what cost...'" He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist
Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 64o more per day than French
tourists - a(n) 53 that fails to take into account Japanese bigger carbon footprint. 54
tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products

W:Yep,I get it.So what is the point of doing this job?
2
M:The point really is the connection you make with your audience.When you make a tiny
movement they tend to explode with laughter.And it's that interaction between the audience
and the performer that's really what it's all about.
W:And what is the secret of being a good living statue?
M:Firstly,never try and perform on an empty stomach.If you get hungry,you can start to feel
light-headed,so you always need to eat something first.Well,good stomach muscles are
key,too.You need to have them to hold those positions.

W:Here's your new library card.It will run out one year later from today and allow you to
borrow up to 15 books per month.The library is open from 9 a.m.to 7 p.m.every day except
Sundays and public holidays.On the first floor,you'll find fiction,literature,biography,travel
and lifestyle books,gardening books,and cookbooks.There's also a photocopier for public use.
Copies cost twenty cents each,but I recommend you buy a monthly copier card for $10,which
gives you 60 copies per month at a reduced price.
On the second floor,you'll find technology,geography,science books,and children's books.
There's a small children's recreation area there as well,and on Saturdays,we hold a story-reading
morning for young kids.
The third floor has history,maps,newspapers,journals,and arts and humanities books.
We have computers with Internet access on the fourth floor.The computers are free to use,
but there's a two-hour limit.It's first-come,first-served.Just put your name down on the list if
you want to use one.If you want to use your own computer in the library,we have free wireless
access as well.
That's about it.Do you have any questions?

skills.By carefully analyzing and thinking about these works,we can learn how to construct an

参考范文
I had just rushed out when I found Aaron standing in my way."What's up?"he asked
sharply,his eyes fixed on me.Feeling the weight of my mistake,I stammered nervously,"I need
dry rags...to...clean..."Upon hearing this,Aaron let out a heavy sigh."You should have checked
every detail,"he remarked,a hint of disappointment in his voice."This job isn't just about
reacting,it's also about being careful.Now,go clean that up!"Avoiding his gaze,I dashed
towards table twenty-two.With an ample supply of rags,I threw myself into the task,tirelessly
mopping,scrubbing,and wiping.
After cleaning up the mess,I reflected on Aaron's words.They were sharp but absolutely
right.My inexperience and initial anxiety in this new job had led me to overlook crucial details,
and I should have been more mindful of my work.Taking a deep breath,I returned to my duties,
bearing Aaron's words in mind.With very dish washed and every table cleared,I made sure to
double-check my work.Everything went well and soon I realized this carefulness would not just
apply to cleaning;it would influence every aspect of my job,preparing me to embrace any
challenge with responsibility and confidence.
