Tom Sawyer Play Is an Adventure
A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favorite returns with this Tall Stacks festival.
“Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave. It is adapted by Joe McDonough, with music by David Kisor. That’s the local stage writing team that creates many of the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s original musicals, along with the holiday family musicals at Ensemble Theatre.
This year Nathan Turner of Burlington is Tom Sawyer, and Robbie McMath of Fort Mitchell is Huck Finn.
Turner, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati’s stages. He is a star actor of Children’s Theatre, having played leading roles in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “The Wizard of Oz”, and is fresh from Jersey Production “Ragtime”.
McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children’s Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky’s Governor’s School for the Arts in Musical Theatre.
Note to teachers: Children’s Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how math and science can be taught through “Tom Sawyer”. For downloadable lessons, visit the official website of Children’s Theatre.

It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, when I was facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end.
The starting gun fired. We surged forward. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” It old myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.”
With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. Negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. The second place is okay.” I glanced at the stand and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise, “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!”
Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination.
The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place… Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal.
That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible.
(4). How did Mia feel at the beginning of the race? ( )
A. Confident and energetic. B. Doubtful and physically heavy.
C. Excited by the crowd’s noise. D. Focused solely on beating Sarah.
(5). What does the underlined word “Kick” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? ( )
A. Ignore pain and continue moving. B. Strike the ground with one’s foot.
C. Suddenly increase running speed. D. Focus on the proper running form.
(6). What is the symbolic meaning of Sarah offering Mia a handshake after the race? ( )
A. It highlights Mia’s physical superiority. B. It indicates Sarah’s pity for Mia’s effort
C. It reflects the universal sportsmanship spirit. D. It helps to cover Sarah’s disappointment in losing the race.
(7). What is the most important thing Mia realized from the race? ( )
A. Physical pain is temporary, but medals last forever.
B. Defeating a strong competitor is the ultimate goal.
C. Following the coach’s instructions is crucial for success.
D. Her biggest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt.
C
In his 1936 work “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives-and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions-like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
(8). What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument? ( )
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.
(9). Why do many people try to avoid arguments? ( )
A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.
(10). What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? ( )
A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
(11). What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author? ( )
A. Sense of logic. B. Proper manners.
C. Solid supporting evidence. D. Understanding from both sides.
D
Just being smart doesn’t guarantee someone will be successful. And just being less smart doesn’t mean that the person will fail. That’s one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth.
She works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Like many other researchers, Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another. When digging deeper, Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality (品质) independent of smarts. They had what she now calls perseverance. Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.
In one study of people aged 25 and above, she found that as people age, they become more likely to stick with a project. She also found that perseverance increases with education. People who had finished college scored higher in the perseverance test than people who quit before graduation did. People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.
She then did another study with college students. Duckworth wanted to see how smarts and perseverance influenced performance in school. So she compared scores on college-entrance exams, which test IQ, to school grades and someone’s score in the perseverance test. Students with higher grades seem to have more perseverance. That’s not surprising. Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this perseverance means success. Among those people is Marcus Credé, a teacher at Iowa State University in Ames. He recently showed the results of 88 studies on perseverance. Together, nearly 67, 000 people took part in these studies. And perseverance did not predict success, Credé found.
Nevertheless, he thinks perseverance is very similar to someone’s ability to set goals, work toward them and think things through before acting. It’s a basic personality quality, Credé notes — not something that can be changed.
“Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected with school grades than perseverance,” Credé says. “We can teach students how to study well. We can help them with their test anxiety,” he adds. “I’m not sure we can do that with perseverance.”
(12). What can we know from the first two paragraphs? ( )
A. Smart people may not succeed. B. Success has nothing to do with smarts.
C. Perseverance is a quality dependent on smarts. D. Perseverance decide s how smart one might be.
(13). What might influence a person’s perseverance according to Angela Duckworth’s findings? ( )
A. Lifestyles. B. Family tradition. C. Education. D. Personality types.
(14).What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 5 probably mean? ( )
A. Warn. B. Reply. C. Accept. D. Doubt.
(15).What is Credé’s opinion about perseverance? ( )
A. It is strongly related to test anxiety. B. It can hardly be taught in school.
C. It should be paid no attention to in teaching. D. It can’t influence students’ school grades

Go to any open space or park across China now, and it’s likely that you’ll see many young people flowing through on special boards, known as surf skating. 16
Surf skating doesn’t require advanced skills. As long as you can master the simple movements, you will be able to enjoy surf skating. 17 As long as there’s flat ground, you can go and enjoy surf skating.
Some love surf skating because it has a social element as people come together to skate. 18 “I picked up this sport because it was the trendy thing then and it feels great to be doing this with everyone else,” says Liu Xinhua, who has practiced surf skating for 5 months. He really enjoys the time with this sport and he finds people of all ages joining the team.
19 The skateboard can be highly personalized, and users like to show their shiny equipment and outfits on social media. Meanwhile, many offline surf skating clubs have emerged in China. Serving as gathering places for many niche (小众的) sports, some social media platforms have set up surf skating associations and clubs to help people connect with a surf skating community.
Adu, the founder of 8NS Surf Skating Club, said that the market size of surf skating is only about one billion yuan in China now. 20 It can create more employment opportunities or inspire people to achieve more in this industry, according to Adu. The ingredient for success, he believes, lies in the sport’s unique blend of fun, fitness, and social interaction, which will carry on driving its popularity forward.
A. It’s easy to make friends this way.
B. It also doesn’t require a lot of space.
C. It is also a way of self-expression with style.
D. It also encourages individualism and fair play.
E. Enthusiasts of all ages are getting pleasure from it.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给开头续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
The basketball playoffs (季后赛) were at their peak, and the air was heavy with tension. Our team had battled through a series of hard games to reach this match. A loss here meant the end of our season.
I first stepped onto the basketball court in sixth grade. I wasn’t born with natural physical ability, but my love for basketball burned brightly within me. I spent countless hours outside practicing. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. My shot gradually improved.
By eighth grade, my hard work paid off. I made the school team and fight my way to the position of a starter. I became the unofficial rebounder (篮板手) of the team. Although I couldn’t run as fast or jump as high as some of my more naturally gifted teammates, I never let that get me down. I believed that through hard work, I could achieve anything I set my mind to.
As the playoff game entered its final moments, the situation was serious. There were only two seconds left on the clock, and we were down by one point. I found myself standing at the free-throw line, the weight of the game resting on my shoulders. If I made the first shot, I’d get a second chance. But if I lost, our season would be over.
This was supposed to be my moment, the high point of all my years of effort. I was a good free-throw shooter, having practiced the shot thousands of times. I took a deep breath, focused, and threw the ball. Time seemed to slow down as the ball flew through the air. But then, disaster struck. The ball hit the rim and bounced (弹跳) off.
Without a second’s hesitation, I jumped up for the rebound. I reached out my arms as far as I could, but to my disappointment, a player from the other team caught the rebound. The buzzer (蜂鸣器) sounded, and the game was over.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Our season was finished, and we were out of the playoffs.

The Person I Admire
The person I admire is my neighbor Uncle retired community volunteer.
What impresses me most is his unwavering commitment to public welfare. He has devoted years to helping others in our community without expecting anything in return. Whenever there is a need--whether cleaning the community, helping the elderly with daily chores or organizing cultural activities---he is the first to step forward. His selfless dedication and sense of responsibility set a shining example for everyone around him.
Uncle Wang's actions teach me that true kindness lies in small daily efforts. He is an ordinary person but does extraordinary things, and his spirit inspires me to care
more about others. He truly deserves our deep respect and admiration.
读后续写
One possible version,
Our season was finished, and we were out of the playoffs. My head hung lower than ever, tears burning at the corners of my eyes. I avoided looking at my teammates, overwhelmed by guilt-all those hours of practice, and I’ d missed the most important shot. The gym was quiet except for soft sighs from my team; some players sat on the bench with downcast faces, while others patted each other' s shoulders silently. I thought my hard work had meant nothing, and I felt like I had let everyone down.
Then, the coach looked over the crowd and called out my name. I walked over nervously, but his eyes were warm instead of angry.He put a hand on my shoulder and said," I’ve seen you practice free throws every dawn and chase rebounds tirelessly That shot doesn’t define you- your perseverance does." My teammates gathered around, hugging me and saying they were proud of my effort. At that moment, I realized hard work wasn’t wasted, and this failure was just part of my basketball journey.
