Last month, she published her first fantasy novel, The Crystal Key. Emma has been a bookworm since she was a little girl. "I started reading when I was four," she says. "I loved stories about magical worlds. I always thought, 'What if I could create my own?'" During the long summer vacation in 2024, she decided to have a try. She spent over six months writing the story. "It was hard work," Emma remembers. "Sometimes I didn't know what should happen next in the story. I had to stop and think for days." Emma's parents were very supportive. Her mother, who is an English teacher, helped her check the grammar. Her father encouraged her when she felt like giving up. The story is about a shy girl named Lily who finds a mysterious key that opens a door to another world. "Lily is a lot like me," Emma says with a smile. "She's quiet, but she's very brave inside." Now, Emma is already planning her next book. Her advice for other young writers? "Read a lot and write about what you love. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Every writer starts somewhere!" 31.

You shouldn't ask for help when writing a book. C Reading is not just fun; it's like giving your brain a super workout! When you read, your brain is busy doing many things at once. Scientists have found that reading can actually change your brain for the better. First, reading makes your imagination stronger. When you read a sentence like "The castle stood on a dark and stormy hill," your brain doesn't just understand the words. It creates a picture of that castle in your mind. It imagines the wind and the rain. This creative activity is like exercise for the parts of your brain that help you dream and create new ideas. Second, reading helps you understand other people's feelings. This is called empathy (共情). When you read a story, you go inside the character's head. You feel what they feel—their happiness, their sadness, and their fear. For example, if a character loses a loved one, you feel sad with them. This practice helps you understand real people better in your daily life. Finally, reading can lower your stress. Getting lost in a good story is a great way to relax. It takes your mind away from your own worries. After just 30 minutes of reading, your heart rate can slow down and your muscles can relax. So, the next time you feel stressed, pick up a book. It's a healthy escape! 36. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Reading is a fun hobby. B. Reading has many benefits for your brain. C. Reading helps you get better grades. D. Reading is a good way to make friends. 37. How does reading make your imagination stronger according to the text? A. By teaching you new words. B. By making you create pictures and scenes in your mind. C. By showing you pictures in the book. D. By making you think about your own life. 38. The writer uses the example of "a character loses a loved one" to show that reading helps us _______ A. learn new things B. understand others' feelings C. relax our mind D. imagine clearly 39. How can reading help when you feel stressed? A. It makes you think about your worries. B. It can slow down your heart rate. C. It gives you more energy. D. It helps you sleep. 40. What is the structure of this passage? A. Problem → Solution B. Main idea → Supporting details C. Cause → Effect D. Question → Answer 第三节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you want to start a reading group with your friends? It's a great way to share your love of books. Here are some easy steps to help you get started. First, decide on the size of your group. A smaller group of 4 to 6 people usually works best. 41 It's also easier for everyone to share their ideas. Next, choose a book to read. 42 You can all suggest a book and then take a vote (投票). This makes sure everyone is interested in the story. Then, set a schedule. 43 For example, you can meet every two weeks to discuss a book. This gives everyone enough time to finish reading. 44 It can be someone's living room, a quiet corner in the library, or even a nice coffee shop. A comfortable place helps people feel relaxed and talk more. Finally, during the meeting, let everyone speak. 45 Ask questions like "Who was your favorite character?" or "What was the most exciting part?" The goal is to have fun and learn from each other! A. There should be no right or wrong answers. B. Don't just read a book because it's popular. C. Decide how often and where you will meet. D. This way, everyone gets a chance to talk. E.
