A
When she was just 9 years old,Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on difficult news stories.Now Hilde has written a book telling her own story and sharing some of the challenges she faced.
Hilde’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News.When she was young,he often took her to work with him,and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting.When she was 8,Hilde started her own newspaper called Orange Street News(OSN) and she did the writing,her sister took pictures,and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper.
Following the rules taught by her father,she researched and reported stories of her town in the newspaper.In 2016,OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town,and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it.
However,some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”.Hilde was upset by the complaints,so she responded with a YouTube video.She said,“I want to be taken seriously.I’m sure other kids do,too.”
In 2019,she made the news again when a law enforcement (执行) officer threatened to arrest her for filming him.Hilde knew her rights as a reporter were protected under the Constitution.Later,the town apologized to Hilde for the officer’s actions.Hilde’s activities as a reporter have made her famous and she has earned several awards.
In April,the book Hilde on the Record came out,in which Hilde tells her own story,both the good parts and the sad parts.She talks honestly about the challenges she’s faced and some of those challenges came from other people,but the others came from herself,struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older.

B
Australian film star Hugh Jackman explains how his film,The Son,has changed him,which is critical to his life.
Jackman has never fully managed a character like his film,The Son.It is based on a 2018 play by Florian Zeller,who previously entered the film industry with another work,The Father.While this involves Alzheimer’s,it looks at another mental health issue.Jackman plays Peter,a workaholic divorcee whose world falls apart when his adolescent son begins to suffer from depression.
Jackman’s performance deserves a second Oscar nomination in his career.“I think what interests me most about Peter is that it’s important for him to feel like a strong and capable person,” Jackman said.“And that makes it harder for him to admit that maybe he’s not equipped and maybe he doesn’t know what to do.Some of the guilt of leaving home,which is not resolved,makes him more determined to be the one who can solve the problem,to save his son—to be a father whose father is not.”
To say that the film goes deep into Jackman’s skin is an understatement.“I think it still works in me because we talk about it,relive it and understand it,” he admitted.“When I watch it,I find myself very emotional.I’m not just talking about stories.I think it’s a process that requires a lot of trust and revelation(揭露).”
Jackman admits the film changed his attitude towards mental health.He began receiving treatment during filming—an indoor cleanup that most middle-aged people can probably do.It also reshaped his own relationship with his children.Jackman and his wife adopted a son,Oscar (now 22) and daughter,Ava (17).“I’ve not been the same since I made this film,” he said.“I’m more open about my weakness with them,with my kids.”
5.What can we learn about Jackman according to paragraph 2?
A.He is a workaholic divorcee.
B.His son suffers from depression.
C.He entered the film industry with The Father.
D.He completely handled the character in The Son.
6.Why does Jackman feel interested about the character Peter?
A.Because the character Peter is strong and capable.
B.Because the character Peter suffers inner struggle.
C.Because the character Peter can help him win an Oscar nomination.
D.Because like the character Peter,he is also guilty of leaving home.
7.How did the film,The Son,influence Jackman?
A.He paid more attention to his own mental health.
B.He spent more time on the cleaning of his home.
C.He decided to adopt a son and a daughter.
D.He could accept his children’s weakness better.
8.Where does this text probably come from?
A.A science report.
B.A museum guide.
C.An entertainment magazine.
D.A history textbook.
C
(2024新课标Ⅱ卷)
Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read?Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well,there’s a kiosk(小亭) for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least.
“You enter the fare gates(检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute,a three-minute,or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost,the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says.“And as of right now,we’ve received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit(交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
9.Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A.To promote the local culture.
B.To discourage phone use.
C.To meet passengers’ needs.
D.To reduce its running costs.
10.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A.By popularity. B.By length.
C.By theme. D.By language.
11.What has Trost been doing recently?
A.Organizing a story contest.
B.Doing a survey of customers.
C.Choosing a print publisher.
D.Conducting interviews with artists.
12.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A.It will close down.
B.Its profits will decline.
C.It will expand nationwide.
D.Its ridership will increase.
