My three grandchildren grew up,listening to someone read and learning to read.They
discovered Jeanne Birdsall,Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan.I read-and
loved—many of the books.Often,I was reminded of my running story.
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school.During those early days,
she made her disrespect for running clear.Later she did run.She ran throughout high school
and had been running ever since.We often ran together.At first,I slowed down for her.But
very soon,her pace improved,and she was slowing down for me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren.At first,adults-parents,grandparents
and teachers-led the way.Then the kids learned to read,and soon they were mere specks in the
distance,gulping down books we'd never heard of,referring to series we'd never come across.
Early on,I began preparing myself for the inevitable.The era of cozy reading sessions
would end.Indeed,it ended,in the case of my granddaughter.She and her mother still read
together,but mostly she read on her own.My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car,
at the table,while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again,eyes on their
books.
I trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the
library.They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national
parks.The night before our flight home,each of them were read,some more than once.
Recently,I picked up a book once owned by a child who was now these boys' uncle.I
began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment,and within minutes both boys were
beside me on the couch,listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his
escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.

Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the
streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
To them,City walk means roaming around the cityon foot.Participants can follow a
distinctive urban route,soaking up the atmosphere,exploring old buildings,browsing boutique
shops,sipping a cup of coffee,or indulging in authentic local snacks.
City walk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people,or simply a leisurely
stroll for one or two to explore new areas,sticking to the key point:avoiding famous scenic
spots and big crowds to gain a more inclusive experience of the places you visit.Besides
interacting with a city,City walk provides young people with a new social scene,where they
who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends.
In China,the City walk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai
to second and third-tier cities,encouraging more participants and event organizers to get
involved.Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour
guides.Xiao Yiyi,a young entrepreneur in Changsha,recently launched six City walk routes in
different cities on her social media account,with the aim of providing experiences for visitors
to“walk in open-air museums”.Her Changsha route features more offbeat sights like historical
architecture from the 19th century,artsy old alleys,and even a stop-off to sample the local
spicy crayfish specialty.
Even though City walk is a relatively new phenomenon,it is offering a positive change to
urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs.At
the same time,City walk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers
to offer a more tailored,professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands
8.Why do young people choose City walk?
A.To enjoy a guided tour.
B.To cut down expenses.
C.To dig deeper into a city.
D.To make new friends.
9.What is the most notable feature about Citywalk?
A.Doing sightseeing on foot.B.Avoiding hot scenic spots.
D.Taking a local tour guide.C.Keeping a fixed urban route.
10.What might Xiao Yiyi be?
A.A tour guideB.A culture researcher.
C.A Citywalk enthusiast.D.An event organizer.
11.What is the author's attitude to the Citywalk trend?
A.Favorable.
B.Dismissive
C.Doubtful.
D.Unclear.

Before the year has even come to a close,climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the
hottest year in recorded history.
On Dec.6,the Copernicus Climate Change Service(C3S)—part of the European Union's
space program—revealed that this year's average global temperatures have been 2.6 F(1.46
C)higher than temperatures in preindustrial times and 0.2 F(0.13 C)higher than January to
November in 2016.These“extraordinary”temperatures mean that 2023will be“the warmest
year in recorded history,”C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess said in a statement.
The researchers note that this year's record heat was partly caused by the latest El Nino
event—a phenomenon where warmer water near the equator triggers warmer global air
temperatures—that began in June.Some other experts have suggested that the January2022
eruption of Tonga's underwater volcano,which pumped record levels of water vapor into the
atmosphere,may also be partly responsible.
Despite these factors,the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused
by runaway greenhouse gas emissions,which,noted in a C3S statement,have trapped more
than 25 billion atomic bombs' worth of energy in our atmosphere over the last 50 years.And
still worse,the global carbon emissions have reached a new high this year,according to
scientists at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties(COP28)On Dec 4.
The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious.In 2023,research revealed
that climate change is causing major U.S.cities to sink and more than half of the world's
largest lakes and reservoirs to shrink.Studies also predicted that the Gulf Stream,which plays
a vital role in ocean circulation,could collapse by as early as 2025,and that rising sea levels
could swamp the U.S.coastline by 2050.
However,scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster.Leading climate
change expert Michael Mann,from the University of Pennsylvania,recently wrote that“we can
still stop the worst effects of climate change”if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as
possible.
12.What's the purpose of the text?
A.To report the recorded hottest year.
B.To present findings of a research.
C.To analyze the causes of climate change.
D.To warn of the coming natural disaster.
13.Which is the main factor in causing the warmest weather in 2023?
A.Eruption of an underwater volcano.
B.Greenhouse gas emissions.
C.Collapse of the Gulf Stream.
D.The latest El Nino event.
14.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Scientists' predictions of the future.
B.The threat of rising sea levels to the U.S.
C.The effects of climate change.
D.Different opinions on global warming.
15.How does Michael Mann feel about the present situation?
A.Confused.
B.Worried.
C.Pessimistic.
D.Hopeful.

Too often,doctors and others tell a patient suffering from a stress related disorder that she
or he must spend some time relaxing.__16__In fact,just sitting in front of the TV set and
trying to ignore the day's problems don't make much effect.To deal effectively with stress and
cope efficiently with anxiety,you'll have to to use the power of your own mind constructively.
To do this,one of the best ways is to boost your self-confidence.Lacking self-confidence,you
will probably worry about disastrous things happening to you.__17__In such circumstances,
you should replace negative,damaging feelings of failure with positive feelings of success.
Take a piece of paper and a pencil,and try writing down good words that describe you,
such as honest,thoughtful,hard working,considerate,kind,ambitious,creative and so on.
__18__Your parents,your friends,your interests,your achievements,and particularly your
memories. You will probably be surprised to find how many things there are that you can be
proud of!
Don't worry about making mistakes.__19__If you accept challenges and live your life to
the full,you will fail sometimes.Make mistakes means taking chances.Those who never take
chances will have a life full of lost opportunities.
When you are worried about the future,ask yourself:What is the worst thing that can
happen?You will often be surprised to find that the“worst”may not be as bad as you thought it
was going to be.The“bottom line”isn't often as discouraging as you think it will be.__20__
A.That isn't a lot of help,of course.
B.All these things will help you greatly.
C.No one can possibly be right all the time.
D.List the things that are valuable in your life.

From an early age,Patti Wilson was told that she was an epileptic(癫痫患者 ).
However,she was a lively and enthusiastic girl,looking at her illness as simply“an
inconvenience. She never focused on what she had lost,but on what she had left.One day,
Patti said to her father,who was a morning jogger,Daddy,I'd really love to run with you every
day,but I'm afraid I'll have an epileptic fit.
Her father told her,“Don't worry,my girl.I know how to handle it!Let's start running
then!
It was a wonderful experience for the father and daughter to run together every day.After
a few weeks,the ambitious girl told her father,“Daddy,What I'd really love to do is to break
the world's long-distance running record for women.”The father checked the Guinness Book
of World Records and found that the farthest any woman had run was 80miles.
That year,she completed her run to San Francisco,which is a distance of 400 miles.She
was wearing a T-shirt,reading,I Love Epileptics.Her father ran every mile at her side,and
her mom,a nurse,followed in a motor home behind them in case anything went wrong.But
nothing happened at all while she was running.
As a senior high school student,Patti announced that she was determined to run from her
hometown up to the White House,which is a distance of more than 3000 miles away.Her
classmates got behind her.They built a giant poster that read,Run,Patti,Run!This has since
become her motto and the title of a book she later has written.
