Small traditions bring big confidence
What do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country?
4 replies Li Yan (Henan) 6 April
In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see “wishing trees” with coins hammered (钉入) into the bark (树皮). Students believe this will bring good luck from the “tree spirits”. At the University of Oxford, there is a custom of touching the “Kissing Stone”, an old stone inside the chapel (教堂), to get good luck. Also, some students avoid eating chicken before exams. The reason is simple and funny: “You don’t want to be a chicken and get scared during the exam!”
Like Comment Jamal Carter (UK) 6 April
In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice cakes and taffies (太妃糖) before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean. People believe that eating sticky food helps students “stick” to success and pass their tests. It is a way to show support and wish each other good luck. I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought his favorite sticky rice cakes to make him happy. This tradition makes us feel warm and strong before exams.
Like Comment Min-joon Kim (South Korea) 7 April
We eat kaya toast with runny eggs for breakfast—the yellow yolk (蛋黄) means “golden scores”! At schools, seniors give juniors “lucky pencils” wrapped in red string. Some families visit the local temples to rub the Buddha’s belly. My secret? I arrange all my highlighters in rainbow order while whispering “A~hah!” three times fast!
Like Comment Priya Lim (Singapore) 8 April
In Istanbul (伊斯坦布尔), we have special exam traditions! Before tests, students drink “exam tea” made with apple and cloves (丁香). We tap our heads twice like knocking on doors, saying “Bilgi gelsin!” (Let knowledge come!). The most important rule? Always enter the exam hall with your right foot first—stepping in with your left foot means bad luck!

Has a person ever warmly held a door open for you? How do you feel after playing with friends? And what would you say is your favourite family memory? These questions have one thing in common: They’re all about connecting with people. “Let’s Connect” is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week. It ___45___ mental health by building healthy social connections.
Humans naturally connect with others, whether that’s family, friends or people in our community. Healthy connections give people energy and ___46___. We all need people to celebrate and share our worries with. Social connections aren’t just about mental health; they improve physical health too, helping us to live a long life. Research suggests being ___47___ can slowly harm your health. Human’s need for connections is different from person to person, but what’s important is not how many relationships you have, but ___48___ your relationships are.
Then how to connect with others? “You can reach out and connect with people in so many different ways,” says Julia Clements, the organizer behind Children’s Mental Health Week. You can connect ___49___ or online, with your friends, parents, teachers or classmates. It’s not just people, either. “Some people feel connected with their pets or in nature,” says Clements. She advises making time to build more connections through actions as well as words. Being kind, listening to others and trying new experiences are all good tools.
Everybody may feel lonely sometimes and refuses to talk to others. Keep in mind that connections change—some become ___50___, while others stop. “Remember that there are always people that care for you,” advises Clements. She says it’s important to tell someone you trust about how you are feeling, or safe organizations such as Childline or Shout.

Is Bottled Water Better?
Water makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. As a teenager, you should drink 1.4 to 1.9 liters of water every day. Most of us get our water at a low price from our taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more.
Bottled water first a___51___ in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa bottled and sold mineral water. It said that the water could “produce good effects on people’s bodies”. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. People drink about 10 percent more bottled water every year. In 2023, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda.
Why has bottled water become so popular? Well this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity of tap water. According to one survey, 63% of Americans are worried a lot about the s___52___ of their drinking water.
However, research suggests such worries are u___53___. For most families, bottled water is not better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. (The company may further process it, though.) And when it comes to taste, most of us cannot tell the d___54___. Students at Boston University once conducted a blind taste test. Only 20% of the taste testers were able to correctly pick out which one the tap water had been from among the samples.
Making bottled water, however, r___55___ a lot of resources. Plastic bottles are usually used only o___56___ before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water than simply its contents. One study found that on average, companies use 1.39 liters of water to make one liter of bottled water.
Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your m___57___! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12分)
John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.
The World Peace Game is played on a cube of four layers. In the game, there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.
You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting (令人畏惧的) to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students, agrees. “Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know, the weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is big earthquake,” she says. “But I say to myself, I need to fix this. The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.”
The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.
It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions of the game as well.
Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn “how to make people not experience so much pain”. He adds, “I think I now hope that game helps people be kinder.” One of his former students Irenc Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.
58. How many layers does the game cube have?
________________________________
59. What is the main goal of the World Peace Game?
________________________________
60. What does Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students compare the game to?
________________________________
61. What does the game encourage students to do?
________________________________
62. What does Hunter do after the game becomes popular?
________________________________
63. If you have a chance to add the 51st problem to the game, what problem would you include? Why?

Small traditions bring big confidence
What do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country?
4 replies Li Yan (Henan) 6 April
In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see “wishing trees” with coins hammered (钉入) into the bark (树皮). Students believe this will bring good luck from the “tree spirits”. At the University of Oxford, there is a custom of touching the “Kissing Stone”, an old stone inside the chapel (教堂), to get good luck. Also, some students avoid eating chicken before exams. The reason is simple and funny: “You don’t want to be a chicken and get scared during the exam!”
Like Comment Jamal Carter (UK) 6 April
In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice cakes and taffies (太妃糖) before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean. People believe that eating sticky food helps students “stick” to success and pass their tests. It is a way to show support and wish each other good luck. I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought his favorite sticky rice cakes to make him happy. This tradition makes us feel warm and strong before exams.

Is Bottled Water Better?
Water makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. As a teenager, you should drink 1.4 to 1.9 liters of water every day. Most of us get our water at a low price from our taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more.
Bottled water first a___51___ in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa bottled and sold mineral water. It said that the water could “produce good effects on people’s bodies”. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. People drink about 10 percent more bottled water every year. In 2023, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda.
Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity of tap water. According to one survey, 63% of Americans are worried a lot about the s___52___ of their drinking water.
However, research suggests such worries are u___53___. For most families, bottled water is not better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. (The company may further process it, though.) And when it comes to taste, most of us cannot tell the d___54___. Students at Boston University once conducted a blind taste test. Only 20% of the taste testers were able to correctly pick out which one the tap water had been from among the samples.
Making bottled water, however, r___55___ a lot of resources. Plastic bottles are usually used only o___56___ before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water than simply its contents. One study found that on average, companies use 1.39 liters of water to make one liter of bottled water.
Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your m___57___! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap.

【导语】本文探讨了瓶装水与自来水的比较,指出瓶装水虽然价格更高,但在质量和口感上并不一定优于自来水。文章还提到瓶装水的生产消耗大量资源,并呼吁人们重新考虑对瓶装水的偏好。
【51题详解】
句意:瓶装水在18世纪60年代首次在美国出现。根据“Bottled water first...in the United States in the 1760s.”及首字母“a”提示可知,此处是一个动词,在句中作谓语。句中表述瓶装水首次在美国“出现”的情况。此处应该使用“appear”意为“出现”,句子时态是一般过去时,因此谓语动词使用过去式形式,“appear”的过去式为“appeared”,故填(a)ppeared。

【55题详解】
句意:然而,制作瓶装水需要大量的资源。根据“Making bottled water, however...a lot of resources.”及首字母“r”提示可知,此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,句中表述制作瓶装水“需要”很多资源,“require”是动词,意为“需要、要求”,句子主语“Making bottled water”是动名词短语,谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式,“require”的第三人称单数是“requires”。故填(r)equires。

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12分)
John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.
The World Peace Game is played on a cube of four layers. In the game, there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.
You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting (令人畏惧的) to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students, agrees. “Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know, the weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is big earthquake,” she says. “But I say to myself, I need to fix this. The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.”
The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.
It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions of the game as well.
Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn “how to make people not experience so much pain”. He adds, “I think I now hope that game helps people be kinder.” One of his former students Irenc Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.

【答案】One possible version
Golden Ideas for the School Science Fair
The 10th School Science Fair is around the corner, and I’d like to share my creative ideas to make it unforgettable!
Firstly, I suggest inviting scientists who can share their latest research in AI or space exploration, which will inspire students to dream big. Secondly, setting up a “DIY Science Carnival” with hands-on experiments like creating mini volcanoes or building simple robots would make learning fun for everyone. What excites me most is the idea of a “Future City Model Contest,” where students can design smart cities powered by sustainable technology.
If these activities are chosen, they will not only spark curiosity but also teach teamwork and problem-solving skills. Let’s work together to turn science into magic!
