Dear Michael,
How’s your vacation? I’m visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city ofValencia, in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither have I. The tomato festival is called“La Tomatina” in Spanish. It is the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world.When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down,or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed (捏扁) before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed (溅起) with red. In spite of no winner in this fight, we all had joy. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time. I wish you had been here, too. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.
From Spain

Kidpreneur Alejandro Buxton is making money for college and helping others. He started his business to build his college fund. But running a business is about more than making money for Alejandro.
Alejandro can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business as soon as he returns home from school every day while other children play games, walk their pets or watch videos or TV. He has a little sister as an assistant and a mother who is good at taking directions and giving a little advice.
It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches. He figured there must be a way to make an all-natural candle that was safe. So he dug into the world of wax (蜡) and found a soy-based wax that is chemical-free, and Smell of Love Candles was born.
Alejandro sold his candles to his neighbors at local fairs. Then his online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he started seventh grade and opened his first retail store, becoming the youngest leaseholder (租赁人) at Tysons Corner Center, a regional mall outside Washington, DC. As his candles become a much bigger operation, he is always experimenting with new scents (气味) like Donut Kill MyVibe, the perfect after-school scent that gets you in the mood for a snack.
His mother is impressed with her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it has strengthened their bond to be together and it’s been great to see how his mind works, adding, “It’s been really inspiring.”
With all the problems that seem to rob many of us of the motivation to move forward, Alejandro has chosen to focus on a solution that works, not only for him, but as an inspiration to others.
35. What does Alejandro do after school?
A. Do candle-making business. B. Play games with his friends.
C. Walk his pets in streets or parks. D. Watch videos or TV at home.
36. Why did Alejandro start his candle-making business?
A. To help his little sister. B. To make much money for his family.
C. To find safe candles for his mother. D. To raise money for the community.
37. What can we infer about Alejandro’s candle-making business?
A. His family are strongly against it.
B. Many people have benefited from it.
C. He gained some inspirations from it.
D. He is banned from selling his candles to the students.
38. What’s the author’s attitude toward Alejandro?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Admiring.
C
Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up. Actually it’s far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us.We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like.Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
39. What was the girl forced by her parents to do when she was young?
A. Take music lessons. B. Turn gains into pains.
C. Take a look back on hardships. D. Live a successful life by suffering a lot.
40. What does the underlined phrase“to its fullest” mean?
A. Directly. B. Terribly. C. Carefully. D. Completely.
41. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up. B. We all have to experience growing pains.
C. A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us. D. Life without fear is a better choice for us.
D
Apple snails (福寿螺) are an alien species that can cause significant damage to ecosystems by consuming plants that provide food and habitats for various wildlife. They also have a special ability to create a flow that brings floating food particles (颗粒) to themselves by swinging their flexible feet underwater, a process known as “pedal foot collection” by biologists.
To understand the principle behind pedal foot collection, Anupam Pandey, a professor at Syracuse University, designed a robot the size of a centimeter that imitates the apple snail’s motion rhythmically. He then placed the robot underwater in a tank and shook foam particles on the surface to see if it could collect them, discovering that the robot functioned similarly to a pump.
“We found that our robot was able to drag particles from distances that were five times its size. But more interestingly, we found a perfect speed at which pumping maximizes,” explains Pandey. “This perfect speed seemed to depend on robot’s shape as well as the characteristics of the liquid. Combining experiments and modeling, we predicted the perfect conditions under which the robot pumps the most liquid.”
Most plastic collection devices in the ocean create strong disturbances at the water surface and cause micro particles to mix in the water, leading to more plastic pollution. However, this robot operates near the water’s surface with minimal interference and potentially provides a solution to this problem.
“What’s special about this research is how interdisciplinary (跨学科的) it is. Biologists may be interested in this, and it has several potential applications in the future in engineering liquid flows at small scales, sensing and driving of floating objects and so on,” Pandey says.“It will not only advance the understanding of liquid transport near surfaces but lay the groundwork for future research as well.”
42. What special ability do apple snails use to collect floating food?
A. Pumping water with their shells. B. Swinging their shells underwater.
C. Pedal foot collection. D. Mixing particles with their feet.
43. How big was the robot designed by Anupam Pandey?
A. A millimeter. B. A centimeter. C. 10 centimeters. D. 10 millimeters.
44. What does Pandey expect of the robot in the future?
A. It’ll have several potential applications. B. It’ll speed up the biology research.
C. It’ll replace devices for liquid transportation. D. It’ll help monitor the environment.
45. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Apple Snail: A Rare Wildlife.
B. Plastic Pollution: A Threat to Marine Life.
C. Bio-inspired Robot: A Tool to Collect Sea Plastic.
D. Pedal Foot Collection: A Way to Open up Interdisciplinary Research.

Dear Michael,
How’s your vacation? I’m visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city ofValencia, in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither have I. The tomato festival is called“La Tomatina” in Spanish. It is the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world.When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down,or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed (捏扁) before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed (溅起) with red. In spite of no winner in this fight, we all had joy. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time. I wish you had been here, too. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.
From Spain,
Linda

Alejandro can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business as soon as he returns home from school every day while other children play games, walk their pets or watch videos or TV. He has a little sister as an assistant and a mother who is good at taking directions and giving a little advice.
It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches. He figured there must be a way to make an all-natural candle that was safe. So he dug into the world of wax (蜡) and found a soy-based wax that is chemical-free, and Smell of Love Candles was born.
Alejandro sold his candles to his neighbors at local fairs. Then his online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he started seventh grade and opened his first retail store, becoming the youngest leaseholder (租赁人) at Tysons Corner Center, a regional mall outside Washington, DC. As his candles become a much bigger operation, he is always experimenting with new scents (气味) like Donut Kill MyVibe, the perfect after-school scent that gets you in the mood for a snack.
His mother is impressed with her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it has strengthened their bond to be together and it’s been great to see how his mind works, adding, “It’s been really inspiring.”
With all the problems that seem to rob many of us of the motivation to move forward, Alejandro has chosen to focus on a solution that works, not only for him, but as an inspiration to others.

Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up. Actually it’s far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us.We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like.Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
39. What was the girl forced by her parents to do when she was young?
A. Take music lessons. B. Turn gains into pains.
C. Take a look back on hardships. D. Live a successful life by suffering a lot.
40. What does the underlined phrase“to its fullest” mean?
A. Directly. B. Terribly. C. Carefully. D. Completely.
41. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up. B. We all have to experience growing pains.
C. A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us. D. Life without fear is a better choice for us.

Apple snails (福寿螺) are an alien species that can cause significant damage to ecosystems by consuming plants that provide food and habitats for various wildlife. They also have a special ability to create a flow that brings floating food particles (颗粒) to themselves by swinging their flexible feet underwater, a process known as “pedal foot collection” by biologists.
To understand the principle behind pedal foot collection, Anupam Pandey, a professor at Syracuse University, designed a robot the size of a centimeter that imitates the apple snail’s motion rhythmically. He then placed the robot underwater in a tank and shook foam particles on the surface to see if it could collect them, discovering that the robot functioned similarly to a pump.
“We found that our robot was able to drag particles from distances that were five times its size. But more interestingly, we found a perfect speed at which pumping maximizes,” explains Pandey. “This perfect speed seemed to depend on robot’s shape as well as the characteristics of the liquid. Combining experiments and modeling, we predicted the perfect conditions under which the robot pumps the most liquid.”
Most plastic collection devices in the ocean create strong disturbances at the water surface and cause micro particles to mix in the water, leading to more plastic pollution. However, this robot operates near the water’s surface with minimal interference and potentially provides a solution to this problem.
“What’s special about this research is how interdisciplinary (跨学科的) it is. Biologists may be interested in this, and it has several potential applications in the future in engineering liquid flows at small scales, sensing and driving of floating objects and so on,” Pandey says.“It will not only advance the understanding of liquid transport near surfaces but lay the groundwork for future research as well.”
42. What special ability do apple snails use to collect floating food?
A. Pumping water with their shells. B. Swinging their shells underwater.
C. Pedal foot collection. D. Mixing particles with their feet.
43. How big was the robot designed by Anupam Pandey?
A. A millimeter. B. A centimeter. C. 10 centimeters. D. 10 millimeters.
44. What does Pandey expect of the robot in the future?
A. It’ll have several potential applications. B. It’ll speed up the biology research.
C. It’ll replace devices for liquid transportation. D. It’ll help monitor the environment.
45. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Apple Snail: A Rare Wildlife.
B. Plastic Pollution: A Threat to Marine Life.
C. Bio-inspired Robot: A Tool to Collect Sea Plastic.
D. Pedal Foot Collection: A Way to Open up Interdisciplinary Research.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. A 45. C
