Heroes Stamp Design Competition
Welcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning schools too.
Stamp Designing
The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.
Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微型的) design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.
Things to consider
Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form (报名表) which your teacher will give you.
Your design must be your own original work.
Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.
Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.
Please avoid using highlighter pens (荧光笔).
Good Luck
The closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.
Good Luck!

A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting “Sea to Summit” triathlon(三项全能运动) which saw her swim, cycle, and run over 330 miles in just five days. Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning.
The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations(幻觉),but she pushed on --managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year,Andrea set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding female’s health.
Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said,“I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days, and I did,but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, the impact on my body was huge. But every time I felt like giving up,I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.”
Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars" when she was just four.
46. What brought Andrea Mason so much joy?
A. She joined a race B. She defeated cancer.
C. She finished a marathon in five days. D. She finished a triathlon lately.
47. What is the purpose of Andrea’s creating her own charity?
A. To help the poor women. B. To promote women’s health.
C. To focus on women’s life. D. To raise the status of women.
48. When did Andrea become doubtful during the running?
A. When she couldn’t eat. B. When she couldn’t sleep.
C When she was running at night. D. When she met too many difficulties.
49. What made Andrea finish the race successfully?
A. Her strong willpower. B. Her family’s support.
C. Thinking of other women who might have cancer. D. Thinking of other women who had more pain.
50. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Andrea liked sports very much. B. Andrea faced huge challenges.
C. As a little girl, Andrea won many races. D. Andrea’s success lied in long-term effort.
C
Many of us are more likely to praise someone with low self-esteem (自尊心) than someone with high self-esteem because we think their need for positive comments is greater. However, it is found that compliments (夸奖) might not benefit people with low self-esteem at all, and can even make them feel uncomfortable. In one study, college students with low self-esteem showed a stronger preference for keeping their current roommate if that roommate viewed them negatively, than if their roommate saw them more positively.
Why did they prefer the company of a person who regarded them poorly? The answer is that people actively seek to confirm (证实,确认) their own views of themselves, whether those are positive or negative. When our self-esteem is low, positive comments become difficult for us to absorb because it goes against our existing self-beliefs. And if we believe we’re incapable of success, receiving praise about how capable we are can feel like a set-up for future disappointment.
The resistance people with low self-esteem have to compliments can be especially obvious when the praise comes from their partners. Giving people with low self-esteem praise about being considerate (体贴的) was enough to make them feel more insecure (不安全的) about their partners and even view their entire relationship more negatively. Praise will make them become more distant and withdrawn (孤立的), as they hope unconsciously to lower their partner’s expectations by doing so.
The connection between low self-esteem and a resistance to compliments should not be over-explained. People with low self-esteem are often uncomfortable receiving compliments but not everyone who is uncomfortable receiving compliments necessarily has low self-esteem. For example, it is much more acceptable to praise children in some cultures than in others and it is much more acceptable to express positive regard to adults in some cultures than in others.
The bottom line is: give thought to the listener when you voice a compliment and consider whether you should express it at all if you suspect their self-esteem is low.
51. What do we know about people with low self-esteem?
A. They tend to feel lonely in a group. B. They need greater positive comments.
C. They are often unwilling to praise others. D. They often don’t like to be praised.
52. When our self-esteem is low, we often judge others’ comments according to ________.
A. whether they are positive or not B. whether they make us appear unique
C. whether they agree with our self-beliefs D. whether they can improve our self-confidence
53. How do people with low self-esteem respond to compliments from their partners?
A. They become closer to their partners.
B. They react negatively to their partners’ praise.
C. They feel more secure about their relation.
D. They try to do better to meet their partners’ expectations.
54 What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Children need more compliments than criticism.
B. Receiving criticism makes people more confident.
C. Adults feel more comfortable receiving compliments.
D. Praise can be influenced by cultural background.
55. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What makes some people hate compliments? B. How to praise people in a right way?
C. What can we learn from others’ compliments? D. How to help people overcome low self-esteem?

第一节:阅读表达(每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there?
On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all.
Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school.
On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community!
Hey… it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.
56. Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words)

A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting “Sea to Summit” triathlon(三项全能运动) which saw her swim, cycle, and run over 330 miles in just five days. Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning.
The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations(幻觉),but she pushed on --managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year,Andrea set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding female’s health.
Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said,“I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days, and I did,but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, the impact on my body was huge. But every time I felt like giving up,I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.”
Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars" when she was just four.
46. What brought Andrea Mason so much joy?
A. She joined a race B. She defeated cancer.
C. She finished a marathon in five days. D. She finished a triathlon lately.
47. What is the purpose of Andrea’s creating her own charity?
A. To help the poor women. B. To promote women’s health.
C. To focus on women’s life. D. To raise the status of women.
48. When did Andrea become doubtful during the running?
A. When she couldn’t eat. B. When she couldn’t sleep.
C. When she was running at night. D. When she met too many difficulties.
49. What made Andrea finish the race successfully?
A. Her strong willpower. B. Her family’s support.
C. Thinking of other women who might have cancer. D. Thinking of other women who had more pain.
50. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Andrea liked sports very much. B. Andrea faced huge challenges.
C. As a little girl, Andrea won many races. D. Andrea’s success lied in long-term effort.

Many of us are more likely to praise someone with low self-esteem (自尊心) than someone with high self-esteem because we think their need for positive comments is greater. However, it is found that compliments (夸奖) might not benefit people with low self-esteem at all, and can even make them feel uncomfortable. In one study, college students with low self-esteem showed a stronger preference for keeping their current roommate if that roommate viewed them negatively, than if their roommate saw them more positively.
Why did they prefer the company of a person who regarded them poorly? The answer is that people actively seek to confirm (证实,确认) their own views of themselves, whether those are positive or negative. When our self-esteem is low, positive comments become difficult for us to absorb because it goes against our existing self-beliefs. And if we believe we’re incapable of success, receiving praise about how capable we are can feel like a set-up for future disappointment.
The resistance people with low self-esteem have to compliments can be especially obvious when the praise comes from their partners. Giving people with low self-esteem praise about being considerate (体贴的) was enough to make them feel more insecure (不安全的) about their partners and even view their entire relationship more negatively. Praise will make them become more distant and withdrawn (孤立的), as they hope unconsciously to lower their partner’s expectations by doing so.
The connection between low self-esteem and a resistance to compliments should not be over-explained. People with low self-esteem are often uncomfortable receiving compliments but not everyone who is uncomfortable receiving compliments necessarily has low self-esteem. For example, it is much more acceptable to praise children in some cultures than in others and it is much more acceptable to express positive regard to adults in some cultures than in others.
The bottom line is: give thought to the listener when you voice a compliment and consider whether you should express it at all if you suspect their self-esteem is low.
51. What do we know about people with low self-esteem?
A. They tend to feel lonely in a group. B. They need greater positive comments.
C. They are often unwilling to praise others. D. They often don’t like to be praised.
52. When our self-esteem is low, we often judge others’ comments according to ________.
A. whether they are positive or not B. whether they make us appear unique
C. whether they agree with our self-beliefs D. whether they can improve our self-confidence
53. How do people with low self-esteem respond to compliments from their partners?
A. They become closer to their partners.
B. They react negatively to their partners’ praise.
C. They feel more secure about their relation.
D. They try to do better to meet their partners’ expectations.
54. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Children need more compliments than criticism.
B. Receiving criticism makes people more confident.
C. Adults feel more comfortable receiving compliments.
D. Praise can be influenced by cultural background.
55. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What makes some people hate compliments? B. How to praise people in a right way?
C. What can we learn from others’ compliments? D. How to help people overcome low self-esteem?
【答案】51. D 52. C 53. B 54. D 55. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了低自尊者常抗拒夸奖,因赞美与其自我认知冲突,反致不适;文化差异也会影响赞美的接受度,所以建议夸奖别人前应先考量对方自尊水平与文化背景。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, it is found that compliments (夸奖) might not benefit people with low self-esteem at all, and can even make them feel uncomfortable. (然而,研究发现,赞美可能对自卑的人一点好处也没有,甚至会让他们感到不舒服。)”可知,夸奖低自尊的人有可能会使他们不舒服,他们并不愿意被人赞美。故选D项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“When our self-esteem is low, positive comments become difficult for us to absorb because it goes against our existing self-beliefs. And if we believe we’re incapable of success, receiving praise about how capable we are can feel like a set-up for future disappointment. (当我们的自尊不高时,积极的评论对我们来说很难接受,因为它违背了我们现有的自我信念。如果我们认为自己没有能力成功,那么接受别人对我们有能力的赞扬就像是为未来的失望埋下了陷阱。)”可知,假如我们是低自尊这样的情况,我们会看对方的赞美是否与我们自己的自我认知一致。故选C项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Giving people with low self-esteem praise about being considerate (体贴的) was enough to make them feel more insecure (不安全的) about their partners and even view their entire relationship more negatively. Praise will make them become more distant and withdrawn (孤立的), as they hope unconsciously to lower their partner’s expectations by doing so. (表扬那些自尊心低的人体贴,足以让他们对自己的同伴感到更不安全,甚至更消极地看待他们的整个关系。赞美会让他们变得更加疏远和孤僻,因为他们希望无意识地通过这样做来降低同伴的期望。)”可知,低自尊的人对自己同伴的赞美是抗拒的,会消极看待他们的赞美。故选B项。
【54题详解】

For example, it is much more acceptable to praise children in some cultures than in others and it is much more acceptable to express positive regard to adults in some cultures than in others. (低自尊的人通常不愿意接受赞美,但并不是每个不愿意接受赞美的人都是低自尊的人。例如,在一些文化中,赞美孩子比其他文化更容易被接受,在一些文化中,对成年人表达积极的尊重比其他文化更容易被接受。)”可知,人们对赞美的接受程度受文化背景的影响。故选D项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many of us are more likely to praise someone with low self-esteem (自尊心) than someone with high self-esteem because we think their need for positive comments is greater. However, it is found that compliments (夸奖) might not benefit people with low self-esteem at all, and can even make them feel uncomfortable. In one study, college students with low self-esteem showed a stronger preference for keeping their current roommate if that roommate viewed them negatively, than if their roommate saw them more positively. (比起自尊心强的人,我们中的许多人更有可能赞美自尊心弱的人,因为我们认为自尊心弱的人更需要积极的评价。然而,研究发现,赞美可能对自卑的人一点好处也没有,甚至会让他们感到不舒服。在一项研究中,低自尊的大学生表现出更强烈的倾向,如果他们现在的室友对他们持消极态度,而不是他们的室友对他们持积极态度。)”及第四段“For example, it is much more acceptable to praise children in some cultures than in others and it is much more acceptable to express positive regard to adults in some cultures than in others. (例如,在一些文化中,赞美孩子比其他文化更容易被接受,在一些文化中,对成年人表达积极的尊重比其他文化更容易被接受。)”可知,本文主要讲并不是所有人都喜欢被赞美或夸奖,并解释了哪些因素导致人们讨厌别人的赞美,例如被赞美者的自尊程度和自我认知,此外文化背景也会对此有影响。故选A项。

注意:将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。
第一节:阅读表达(每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there?
On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all.
Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school.
On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community!
Hey… it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.
