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 Mitehell 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.

When she was a college freshman, a friend signed her up for a campus comedy contest. Despite having no previous experience in stand-up, she immediately felt comfortable on stage and won the contest. This experience lit her passion for comedy. However, Leslie Jones faced challenges in pursuing a professional comedy career.
At the age of 19, she received advice from Jamie Foxx, who suggested that she needed more life experiences to draw material from for her comedy. Foxx advised her to go out, live life, work various jobs, and gain a broader range of experiences to enrich her comedy, Jones took Foxx’s advice to heart and took on a series of jobs, including working as a justice of the peace at weddings and even working for a construction company owned by Scientologists. Throughout these experiences, she kept her ultimate goal of becoming a comedian in mind.
In her memoir, Leslie Jones, she reflects on her upbringing as a military brat (没规矩的人) , her journey through the male-dominated (男人主宰的) world of comedy clubs, and her eventual breakthrough when she joined the cast of SNL in 2014 at the age of 47.

We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there’s some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilised by faeces (排泄物) , that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it’s not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead it’s more like making a ”dodo” by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes-and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.
28. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA.
C. The application of PCR technology. D. An inspired guess of de-extinction.
29. What’s the barrier to cloning a living embryo
A. Computational power is limited. B. DNA is hard to keep for long.
C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can’t be sequenced.
30. Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A. They want to see biodiversity. В. They lack sources of modern art.
C. They need them for research. D. They expect to seek hunt fun.
31. What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning extinct species
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.
D
One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River Valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago.
“Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Culture, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Sindh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated. When it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” making up of “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, delivering $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and the local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
32. What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A. The value it holds in history and architecture.
B. The role it played in fighting foods.
C. The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D. The geographic feature it bears.
33. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Suffer. B. Reduce. C. Avoid. D. Assess.
34. Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A. Creative. B. Impractical. C. Worrying. D. Satisfactory.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
B. Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C. Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D. Pakistan’s Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ve never had access to so much information. 36 . So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice (偏见). 37 . In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. 38 .
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. 39 . Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
40 . It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Check your sources
B. Avoid mistakes
C. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes
D. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
E. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind
F. So pay attention to differences in many situations
G. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems

阅读下列材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college. Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet, her love for ballet had faded years before, and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school, as Kelly left the dance studio, she walked past the gym, fascinated by boxers training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing. She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack. On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase: BOXING CLUB TRYOUT (选拔). That was what Kelly really wanted to do.
She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path. The next day, she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion.
At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you’re so good at ballet. Lean into your strength, Kelly.” “But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean, anyway Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually, touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her. Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision, no matter what. But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout, where she was required to show her footwork and punching abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn’t come natural to Kelly, but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then Kelly began her training, keeping it a secret from her mom.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted.

The Importance of Goals
Good morning, everyone,
It’s a great honor for me to stand here and address my speech titled “The Importance of Goals”.
As a saying goes, “Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.” Obviously, goals play an essential role in our life. In the first place, goals guide us towards where we want to head, providing a way to our successful journey. In addition, people who are aware of their goals tend to stay motivated and inspired when faced with adversity. Last but not least, we are becoming physically and spiritually fulfilled when focusing on our goals. Hence, if you still don’t have a goal, set an appropriate one and try to accomplish it.
Thanks for listening!

Then Kelly began her training, keeping it a secret from her mom. Every day after school, Kelly dashed to the boxing gym, occupying herself with the intense training. Stretching legs, practicing her footwork and improving endurance had become the bittersweet routine of her life. Even when she was made fun of by boys in the gym, she bit her lip tightly and continued her training. Finally, the tryout came. Extremely nervous though, she stepped into the boxing ring, moved fast and punched hard to the surprise of other candidates. After the tryout, Kelly left the gym confidently, knowing she did her best.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. To her delight, Kelly found her name on the list. Thrilled, she shared the news with Serena, both ready to reveal the secret to their mom. At dinner that day, Kelly gathered her courage and said to her mom, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’ve made the boxing team and I’m ready to carve my own path.” At first, a flicker of disbelief and shock crossed her mom’s face, but after a long, heart-to-heart talk, she gave Kelly a bear hug and whispered softly, “I’m so proud of you for being yourself.”

31. B 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings. (这个放缓给了我们时间来考虑结果—并有望避免迈克尔·克莱顿的一些更狂热的想象。) ”可知, 作者对克隆灭绝动物持谨慎的观点。故选 B。
D

When it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro ‘bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,’ making up of ‘the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent’”. (它的重要性不容小觑。1980年, 当门佐达罗被列入联合国教科文组织名录时, 该组织写道, 门佐达罗“为印度河文明提供了独特的证据”, 是“印度次大陆上最古老的规划城市”。) ”可知, 门佐达罗在历史和建筑上的价值使它对巴基斯坦来说很特别。故选 A。
33. B 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken (这封信解释了现场团队立即采取的一些行动) ”及下文“…like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough. (比如引进水泵和修复砖墙。但很明显, 这些措施还不够。) ”可知, 现场团队立即采取了一些措施来减轻洪水破坏。由此可知, 划线词 mitigate 与 reduce“减少, 降低”意思接近。故选 B。
34. C 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough. (但很明显, 这些措施还不够。) “及倒数第二段中的“While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and the local organization consider the best way forward. (虽然这笔钱远远少于完全修复遗址所需的钱, 但它将支付联合国教科文组织和当地组织考虑最佳前进方式的紧急工作。)”及最后一段“In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin. (在他们的信中, Abbasi 和 Sangah 表达了对门佐达罗可能被列入联合国教科文组织濒危遗址名单的担忧, 该保护机构定期更新该名单, 以突出那些面临严重破坏风险的历史遗迹。) ”可推知, 到目前为止, 维修工作的情况令人担忧。故选 C。
35. A 主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history. (巴基斯坦正在与历史上最严重的洪水作斗争, 世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一在暴雨中遭到严重破坏。) “及下文介绍可知, 文章主要介绍了世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一—巴基斯坦的世界遗产门佐达罗在暴雨中遭到严重破坏和拯救方法。由此可知, A. Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding (巴基斯坦联合国教科文组织世界遗产地门佐达罗被洪水严重破坏) 适合作本文最佳标题。故选 A。

W: The Beatles have released the last song they recorded. The song is titled Now and Then. It was written by John Lennon in 1977. He sang it at the piano and recorded it two years later at his home. Recording engineers used AI technology to bring the song to life, resulting in a sound like the four Beatles recorded it together in a studio. Now and Then will be the final track on a new edition of the Beatles’ greatest hits blue album. This is a collection of their classics from 1967 1970.
Beatles member Paul McCartney spoke to reporters about the new song. He said it’s quite emotional. He spoke about his excitement at being able to release a new song, and to still be working on Beatles music. McCartney was also excited about hearing John Lennon’s voice. Lennon died in 1980, which brought endless sorrow to people loving him. Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said recording the song was the closest they’ll ever come to having John Lennon back in the room. He said it was very emotional for all of them.

We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there’s some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilised by faeces (排泄物) , that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it’s not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead it’s more like making a ”dodo” by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes-and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.
28. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA.
C. The application of PCR technology. D. An inspired guess of de-extinction.
29. What’s the barrier to cloning a living embryo
A. Computational power is limited. B. DNA is hard to keep for long.
C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can’t be sequenced.
30. Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A. They want to see biodiversity. В. They lack sources of modern art.
C. They need them for research. D. They expect to seek hunt fun.
31. What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning extinct species
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.
D
One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River Valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago.
“Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Culture, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Sindh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated. When it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” making up of “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, delivering $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and the local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
32. What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A. The value it holds in history and architecture.
B. The role it played in fighting foods.
C. The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D. The geographic feature it bears.
33. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Suffer. B. Reduce. C. Avoid. D. Assess.
34. Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A. Creative. B. Impractical. C. Worrying. D. Satisfactory.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
B. Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C. Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D. Pakistan’s Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage

We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ve never had access to so much information. 36 . So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice (偏见). 37 . In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. 38 .
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. 39 . Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
40 . It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Check your sources
B. Avoid mistakes
C. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes
D. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
E. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind
F. So pay attention to differences in many situations
G. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems

Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college. Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet, her love for ballet had faded years before, and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school, as Kelly left the dance studio, she walked past the gym, fascinated by boxers training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing. She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack. On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase: BOXING CLUB TRYOUT (选拔). That was what Kelly really wanted to do.
She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path. The next day, she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion.
At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you’re so good at ballet. Lean into your strength, Kelly.” “But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean, anyway Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually, touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her. Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision, no matter what. But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout, where she was required to show her footwork and punching abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn’t come natural to Kelly, but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then Kelly began her training, keeping it a secret from her mom.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted.

The Importance of Goals
Good morning, everyone,
It’s a great honor for me to stand here and address my speech titled “The Importance of Goals”.
As a saying goes, “Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.” Obviously, goals play an essential role in our life. In the first place, goals guide us towards where we want to head, providing a way to our successful journey. In addition, people who are aware of their goals tend to stay motivated and inspired when faced with adversity. Last but not least, we are becoming physically and spiritually fulfilled when focusing on our goals. Hence, if you still don’t have a goal, set an appropriate one and try to accomplish it.
Thanks for listening!

Then Kelly began her training, keeping it a secret from her mom. Every day after school, Kelly dashed to the boxing gym, occupying herself with the intense training. Stretching legs, practicing her footwork and improving endurance had become the bittersweet routine of her life. Even when she was made fun of by boys in the gym, she bit her lip tightly and continued her training. Finally, the tryout came. Extremely nervous though, she stepped into the boxing ring, moved fast and punched hard to the surprise of other candidates. After the tryout, Kelly left the gym confidently, knowing she did her best.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. To her delight, Kelly found her name on the list. Thrilled, she shared the news with Serena, both ready to reveal the secret to their mom. At dinner that day, Kelly gathered her courage and said to her mom, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’ve made the boxing team and I’m ready to carve my own path.” At first, a flicker of disbelief and shock crossed her mom’s face, but after a long, heart-to-heart talk, she gave Kelly a bear hug and whispered softly, “I’m so proud of you for being yourself.”

W: Oh, I’m not into gardening. It’s too much work. But I love to look at beautiful flowers.

W: The office software is finally starting to build a solid reputation. I think it’s the perfect time to start selling it in other countries.
M: That would be a great way to increase our customer base. We have to have the instructions translated into other languages.

W: John, now that Frank has retired and Sally is taking annual leave, we are two people shorter than usual. Are we planning to hire soon
M: I hope so. We’re already understaffed and the order we got yesterday from Mayhem Electronics will mean more work for everyone.
W: I agree. Maybe they can move someone from the sales department over here while we’re looking for a suitable person to fill Frank’s position.
M: That’s actually a good idea.

M: Mrs Brown, I want to speak to you about Billy’s work. I think Billy has made some good improvement this year compared to last year.
W: Well, of course. Last year, we moved here and it wasn’t a very settled time for Billy. So Billy probably didn’t do his best work.
M: I see. We’ve put a story that he wrote back in March in the school newspaper. You should’ve read it. But there were many words spelt wrong in his work.
W: Yes, we have tried at home to help him. His sister, Kathy, often tests him on words that he often gets wrong. I’m sure that’s helpful, isn’t it
M: Oh yes, without a doubt.

M: How was the hotel during your holiday
W: It was awful. We had to switch rooms a couple of times.
M: Why
W: Well, we found the first room totally a mess with empty food containers left on the floor and desk. So, we had to ask for another room.
M: What was wrong with the second room
W: We paid for a garden room and it was a view of the parking lot. And they were out of garden view rooms, so they upgraded us to an ocean view room without extra charge.
M: That’s nice!
W: But our next-door neighbor watched TV late every night and it was noisy. It kept us awake every night.
M: Did you ask for another room
W: Yes, but they said that there were no more rooms available. But the manager was really nice about it. He offered us a free stay next time.
M: Are you going to go back there
W: Of course.

M: Hey, Karen! Did you meet Bonnie in our class
W: Yes, I did! I thought she was very shy at first, but when the teacher started a class discussion, she was the first to speak up.
M: Right. She may be the smartest student in our class because every time she answered, all of her answers were correct. We should invite her to join our study group!
W: That’s a great idea. Do you know what She also enjoys the outdoors. Why don’t we ask her to come hiking with us this Saturday
M: Actually, I already asked her to come! She said she wanted to come.
W: That was quick, Toby. Who is supposed to bring snacks for this weekend’s hiking trip
M: I think Jenny is supposed to bring them. She is a true master in the kitchen. Her food is out of this world.
W: And she is very thoughtful! When I had an upset stomach last week, she noticed and brought me some hot orange juice and vitamins.

W: The Beatles have released the last song they recorded. The song is titled Now and Then. It was written by John Lennon in 1977. He sang it at the piano and recorded it two years later at his home. Recording engineers used AI technology to bring the song to life, resulting in a sound like the four Beatles recorded it together in a studio. Now and Then will be the final track on a new edition of the Beatles’ greatest hits blue album. This is a collection of their classics from 1967 1970.
Beatles member Paul McCartney spoke to reporters about the new song. He said it’s quite emotional.

Lennon died in 1980, which brought endless sorrow to people loving him. Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said recording the song was the closest they’ll ever come to having John Lennon back in the room. He said it was very emotional for all of them.
