C
If you’re seeking a plain-language intro to statistics, or just want to get better at judging the reliability of numbers in the news, Spiegelhalter’s The Art of Statistics is a solid crash course. The book is less about learning how to use specific mathematical tools than it is about exploring the numerous ways statistics can help solve real-world problems and why warnings are often added to statistical claims.
Spiegelhalter, a statistician at the University of Cambridge, keeps things lively by tying new concepts to questions. For instance, should you worry that eating bacon will increase your risk of bowel (肠) cancer The relative risk might make you think people who eat a bacon sandwich every day have an 18 percent higher risk of bowel cancer than those who don’t. But looking at the absolute risk—a rise of 6 to 7 cases per 100 people—may put your mind at ease.
Spiegelhalter’s narration is encouraging, and he makes complex sections easier to resolve by including frequent summaries and lots of data visualizations. The Art of Statistics is alive with his enthusiasm for how statistics can be used to collect information for court cases, city planning and a host of other sectors.
But Spiegelhalter warns readers not to forget the assumptions and uncertainties in any analysis, and tells many cautionary tales about the ways statistics can go off the track. For example, incomplete samples and logical missteps
can lead to faulty conclusions.
Spiegelhalter doesn’t let the media off the hook, either. Many of the questions he uses to introduce topics are drawn from misleading news reports. Such articles include one claiming that going to college increases your risk of getting a brain tumor (瘤), which mistook correlation for causation in data on socioeconomic status and tumor diagnoses.
The Art of Statistics leaves readers with a better handle on the ins and outs of statistical analysis. As Spiegelhalter writes, “Numbers may appear to be cold, hard facts, but… they need to be treated with delicacy.”
28.What’s special about The Art of Statistics
A.It offers a reliable course in statistics.
B.It focuses on reasonable data analyses.
C.It warns the public of statistical claims.
D.It includes effective tools for math learners.
29.What’s the purpose in mentioning the example in paragraph 2
A.To compare two dramatically different lifestyles.
B.To stress the importance of having a healthy diet.
C.To show an effective way to explain new concepts.
D.To relieve public concern over unreliable numbers.
30.What do the underlined words “off the hook” mean in paragraph 5
A.Free from blame.
B.Familiar to all.
C.In good condition.
D.Out of control.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Spiegelhalter: A Real Fighter Expert at Data Analyses
B.The Art of Statistics: How to Avoid Faulty Conclusions
C.Spiegelhalter: A Statistician against Misleading Statistics
D.The Art of Statistics: How to Think Critically about Numbers
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.A 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了《统计的艺术》这本书如何帮助读者批判性地思考数字。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“The book is less about learning how to use specific mathematical tools than it is
about exploring the numerous ways statistics can help solve real-world problems and why warnings are often added to statistical claims.(这本书不是关于学习如何使用特定的数学工具,而是关于探索统计学可以帮助解决现实世界问题的众多方法,以及为什么经常在统计声明中添加警告)”可知,《统计的艺术》的特别之处在于注重合理的数据分析。故选B。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段“Spiegelhalter, a statistician at the University of Cambridge, keeps things lively by tying new concepts to questions. For instance, should you worry that eating bacon will increase your risk of bowel (肠) cancer The relative risk might make you think people who eat a bacon sandwich every day have an 18 percent higher risk of bowel cancer than those who don’t. But looking at the absolute risk—a rise of 6 to 7 cases per 100 people—may put your mind at ease.(剑桥大学的统计学家Spiegelhalter通过将新概念与问题联系起来,使事情变得生动活泼。例如,你是否应该担心吃培根会增加你患肠癌的风险?这种相对风险可能会让你认为每天吃培根三明治的人患肠癌的风险比不吃的人高18%。但看看绝对风险——每100人中增加6到7例——可能会让你放心)”可知,在第二段提到这个例子的目的是展示解释新概念的有效方法。故选C。
30.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Many of the questions he uses to introduce topics are drawn from misleading news reports.(他用来引入话题的许多问题都来自误导性的新闻报道)”可知,斯皮格霍尔特也不让媒体不受责备,因为他用来引入话题的许多问题都来自误导性的新闻报道。故划线词意思是“不受责备”。故选A。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you’re seeking a plain-language intro to statistics, or just want to get better at judging the reliability of numbers in the news, Spiegelhalter’s The Art of Statistics is a solid crash course.(如果你正在寻找一个简单的统计入门,或者只是想更好地判断新闻中数字的可靠性,Spiegelhalter的《统计的艺术》是一个坚实的速成课程)”结合文章主要介绍了《统计的艺术》这本书的特色以及作者书中的一些观点。可知,D选项“统计的艺术:如何批判性地思考数字”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal ’”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
32.What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”
A.The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.
B.The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C.Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.
D.The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
33.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A.The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
B.The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C.The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
D.The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
34.How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron
A.From a strange dream.
B.By asking for the public.
C.Through their discussion.
D.By studying the Eiffel Tower.
35.What can we infer about the new Olympic medals
A.They are innovative.
B.They are light.
C.They have six sides.
D.They are golden-colored.
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.C 35.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴黎奥运会奖牌的新颖设计、创意的来源以及其他的背景知识等。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段““It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.” (巴黎2024年奥运会创意总监蒂埃里 雷布尔(Thierry Reboul)上周告诉记者:“对运动员来说,这是一个把巴黎的一部分带回来的机会。”“埃菲尔铁塔是巴黎和法国的绝对象征。”)”可知,奖牌上有埃菲尔铁塔上面的碎铁,而埃菲尔铁塔是巴黎的标志性建筑。故选C项。
33.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown”paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut. (每一个新的奥运奖牌上都有一块埃菲尔铁塔的铁,尽管标志性的“埃菲尔铁塔棕色”油漆已经被去掉了。这些碎片被塑造成六边形,这是“法国的形状”。此外,还有“巴黎2024”字样、奥运五环和奥运会徽,会徽看起来像一束火焰,或者是一个短发女人的脸。)”可知,本段主要介绍了奥运奖牌上面的埃菲尔铁塔的碎片被制成六边形的形状、并刻上字和奥运五环等,因此可知,本段介绍了新的巴黎奥运奖牌上的埃菲尔铁塔碎片设计。故选D项。
34.细节理解题。根据第五段“How did they think of such an idea Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal ’” (他们是怎么想到这个主意的 巴黎奥组委设计负责人约阿希姆·朗辛告诉媒体:“我们多次讨论设计方案,并意识到有一个世界闻名的标志,那就是埃菲尔铁塔。我们对自己说,‘嘿,如果我们找到埃菲尔铁塔运营公司,看看是否有可能把埃菲尔铁塔的一部分融入到奖牌中呢 ’”)”可知,设计者们是在讨论得到的这个设计奖牌的想法。故选C项。
35.推理判断题。根据第一段“Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower. (官方公布了将在今年夏季巴黎奥运会上颁发的金、银、铜牌,每一枚奖牌都有一个独特的纪念品:埃菲尔铁塔上的废铁碎片。)”以及纵观全文可知,法国把埃菲尔铁塔的碎片经过加工设计镶嵌到了奥运奖牌中,这是其他国家没有的,因此推断新的奥运奖牌是独特、新颖的。故选A项。

A Few Tips for Starting an Art Habit
Art is good for your mind and body. It can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood. 36 Here are some things you need to know.
Figure out your mode of creative expression. You can start with what you enjoy, but keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving, writing screenplays—the sky’s the limit. 37 Mix them up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.
Focus on the making, and let go of expectations. Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief—not what you make or how you make it. You don’t even need to like what you’re making. 38 When you don’t like what you are making, it frees you up to explore new ideas.
Carve out time and space for art. Try to find a special time in your week to devote to your practice. You don’t need a few hours. 39 In addition, try to set aside a corner table for your art supplies. If space is an issue, put them all in a basket or a plastic container that’s easily accessible.
40 Some days, you won’t feel like making art. That’s OK. Try to understand what’s going on. What’s stopping you from making art Are you anxious If you’re too anxious to make art, address the anxiety. Stand up from the couch and go to take a walk or a run.
A.Get yourself in the mood.
B.Get familiar with the basis of art.
C.In fact, that can be a positive thing.
D.When is the best age to start an art habit
E.But how can you start your creative art habit
F.And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing.
G.Going just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders.
【答案】36.E 37.F 38.C 39.G 40.A
【导语】本文为说明文。介绍了养成艺术习惯的几点建议。
36.根据上文“Art is good for your mind and body. It can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.”(艺术对你的身心都有好处。它可以减轻你的压力和焦虑,改善你的心情。)和下文“Here are some things you need to know.”(下面是你得知道的一些事。)可知,上文提到艺术对身心都有好处,下文提到要给出一些建议,所以中间应该有个过渡句,提到如何才能拥有艺术呢?选项E“但是,你如何才能开启你有创造力的艺术习惯呢?”和上下文意思一致。故选E。
37.根据上文“You can start with what you enjoy, but keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving, writing screenplays”(你可以从你喜欢的开始,但要保持开放的心态。任何能激发你创造性思维的事情都对你有好处:手指画、烹饪、烘焙、油画、编织、写剧本)可知,这里作者认为,任何能激发你创造性思维的事情都可以做,所以不能只做一件事。选项F“并且,不要认为你必须坚持一件事情。”和上文意思一致。故选F。
38.根据上文“You don’t even need to like what you’re making.”(甚至你都不用去喜欢你在做的东西。)和下文“When you don’t like what you are making, it frees you up to explore new ideas.”(当你不喜欢自己做的东西时,它会让你自由地去探索新的想法。)可知,这里作者提到你可能不喜欢你在做的画,但是它还是有好处的,因为它让你有了去探索新想法的自由。选项C“事实上,它有可能是积极的东西。”和上下文意思一致。故选C。
39.根据上文“You don’t need a few hours.”(你不需要几个小时。)可知,作者建议人们不需要花太多时间在艺术上,那需要多少时间合适呢?接下来,作者应该提出合适的时间。选项G“每天只花10分钟,就能创造奇迹。”和上文意思一致。故选G。
40.设空句是段首小标题,根据下文“Some days, you won’t feel like making art. That’s OK. Try to understand what’s going on. What’s stopping you from making art Are you anxious If you’re too anxious to make art, address the anxiety. Stand up from the couch and go to take a walk or a run.”(有时候,你会不想做艺术。没关系。试着理解发生了什么。是什么阻止你创作艺术品?你紧张吗?如果你太急于创作艺术,解决焦虑。从沙发上站起来,去散散步或者跑跑步。)可知,这一段作者主要介绍如果遇到不想做艺术的时候,要怎么做才能调节状态。选项A“让你自己进入状态。”是本段主题句。故选A。

The fortunes of first-time Everest climbers have improved because 57 the rise of the commercial climbing business. In 58 1990s, experienced guides began leading groups of new climbers. Today more than 24 companies offer the service. Everest enthusiasts with little climbing experience can pay tens of thousands of dollars to have their hands 59 (hold) most of the way up.
Better weather forecasting has helped, too. Travelling from the base camp to the top of the mountain 60 (take) around four days, and success depends 61 (heavy) on weather conditions along the way. Spotting a suitable “window” of good climbing weather was difficult thirty years ago. With the 62 (develop) of technology, forecasting has vastly improved.

饰动词depend应该用副词,故答案为heavily。

64.考查定语从句。句意:结果是一个长队沿着山脊(山脊)附近的“死亡地带”,这可能是导致死亡的11名登山者。此句为非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which引导,故答案为which。
65.考查名词所有格。句意:它仍然值得以最尊敬的态度来对待世界最高峰。根据“highest peak”可知,意为世界的最高峰,故答案为world's。

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
They’d been planning this forever. From her birth, most likely. Mya's mother, Helena loved hosting parties. And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays. Together, they'd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be. They selected a theme every year and stuck to it. Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White” and her ninth had been the “Frozen”. They never told her what the theme was the day before. She'd just wake up her birthday morning, a brand new birthday suit laid neatly on her dresser and she would open her door to see the adventure that lay ahead of her that day.
Mya had a few guesses as to what this year’s theme would be. A play on the words “Sweet Sixteen” was likely — a candy themed party, perhaps But she’d had a baking party a few years ago — and Helena was anything but repetitive. Mya didn't have any interest in cars, so she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu. She’d tried to look through her mother’s purchase history online, but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent. So the only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning.
May 1st, Mya woke. The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that her birthday took place. It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained. This morning was no different than her previous birthdays. She sat up in her bed and looked to her dresser before slipping out of bed and inspecting the outfit. She unfolded it and held it against her body, seeing how it was like. It reached down, just above the ankle. Mya dressed, eyed herself in the mirror and found it was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before. It was totally one for blue-collar workers!

答案:
Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock. Helena walked in. Mya's heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar voice of her mother calling out, “Happy birthday, Mya! Are you ready to see what we've planned for you ” Mya asked.“What is my birthday theme this year, mum ” “Labor!” Helena answered in a firm voice. “But I was expecting a party!” her voice sounded shaky. Oh, how could she forget she was born on Labor’s Day! Mya’s feet brought her small steps to follow Helena to the van. On arriving at a farm, she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view itself. Their job was to remove the weeds.
With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Several drops of sweat traced a path on her red and pink cheeks and she turned to Helena: “this is not bad, mum and I feel I’ve grown up enough to help you with something.” Helena pulled Mya into her arms and planted a big kiss on her forehead. The sun in May was shining brighter than ever like a fire ball. Picturing the good harvest of this year, they hit the road with a happy birthday song echoing in the van.

If you’re seeking a plain-language intro to statistics, or just want to get better at judging the reliability of numbers in the news, Spiegelhalter’s The Art of Statistics is a solid crash course. The book is less about learning how to use specific mathematical tools than it is about exploring the numerous ways statistics can help solve real-world problems and why warnings are often added to statistical claims.
Spiegelhalter, a statistician at the University of Cambridge, keeps things lively by tying new concepts to questions. For instance, should you worry that eating bacon will increase your risk of bowel (肠) cancer The relative risk might make you think people who eat a bacon sandwich every day have an 18 percent higher risk of bowel cancer than those who don’t. But looking at the absolute risk—a rise of 6 to 7 cases per 100 people—may put your mind at ease.
Spiegelhalter’s narration is encouraging, and he makes complex sections easier to resolve by including frequent summaries and lots of data visualizations. The Art of Statistics is alive with his enthusiasm for how statistics can be used to collect information for court cases, city planning and a host of other sectors.
But Spiegelhalter warns readers not to forget the assumptions and uncertainties in any analysis, and tells many cautionary tales about the ways statistics can go off the track. For example, incomplete samples and logical missteps
can lead to faulty conclusions.
Spiegelhalter doesn’t let the media off the hook, either. Many of the questions he uses to introduce topics are drawn from misleading news reports. Such articles include one claiming that going to college increases your risk of getting a brain tumor (瘤), which mistook correlation for causation in data on socioeconomic status and tumor diagnoses.
The Art of Statistics leaves readers with a better handle on the ins and outs of statistical analysis. As Spiegelhalter writes, “Numbers may appear to be cold, hard facts, but… they need to be treated with delicacy.”

A.It offers a reliable course in statistics.

Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative
director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal ’”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
32.What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”
A.The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.
B.The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C.Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.
D.The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
33.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A.The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
B.The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C.The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
D.The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
34.How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron
A.From a strange dream.
B.By asking for the public.
C.Through their discussion.
D.By studying the Eiffel Tower.
35.What can we infer about the new Olympic medals
A.They are innovative.
B.They are light.
C.They have six sides.
D.They are golden-colored.

A Few Tips for Starting an Art Habit
Art is good for your mind and body. It can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood. 36 Here are some things you need to know.
Figure out your mode of creative expression. You can start with what you enjoy, but keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving, writing screenplays—the sky’s the limit. 37 Mix them up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.
Focus on the making, and let go of expectations. Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief—not what you make or how you make it. You don’t even need to like what you’re making. 38 When you don’t like what you are making, it frees you up to explore new ideas.
Carve out time and space for art. Try to find a special time in your week to devote to your practice. You don’t need a few hours. 39 In addition, try to set aside a corner table for your art supplies. If space is an issue, put them all in a basket or a plastic container that’s easily accessible.
40 Some days, you won’t feel like making art. That’s OK. Try to understand what’s going on. What’s stopping you from making art Are you anxious If you’re too anxious to make art, address the anxiety. Stand up from the couch and go to take a walk or a run.
A.Get yourself in the mood.
B.Get familiar with the basis of art.
C.In fact, that can be a positive thing.
D.When is the best age to start an art habit
E.But how can you start your creative art habit
F.And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing.
G.Going just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders.

Climbing Mount Everest was once a feat(壮举) reserved for only the bravest mountaineers.These days even inexperienced or elderly climbers try to get to the top of the world.
Twenty years ago, climbers in their 60s 56 (have) just a one-in-eight chance of getting to Everest's summit(峰顶), but now the odds are closer to one in three.
The fortunes of first-time Everest climbers have improved because 57 the rise of the commercial climbing business. In 58 1990s, experienced guides began leading groups of new climbers. Today more than 24 companies offer the service. Everest enthusiasts with little climbing experience can pay tens of thousands of dollars to have their hands 59 (hold) most of the way up.
Better weather forecasting has helped, too. Travelling from the base camp to the top of the mountain 60 (take) around four days, and success depends 61 (heavy) on weather conditions along the way. Spotting a suitable “window” of good climbing weather was difficult thirty years ago. With the 62 (develop) of technology, forecasting has vastly improved.
On May 23nd, 396 climbers attempted 63 (reach) the summit in one day. The result was a long queue along a ridge(山脊)in the “death zone” near the top, 64 might have contributed to the death of some of the eleven climbers.
It still pays to treat the 65 (world) highest peak with the most respect.

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
They’d been planning this forever. From her birth, most likely. Mya's mother, Helena loved hosting parties.
And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays. Together, they'd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be. They selected a theme every year and stuck to it. Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White” and her ninth had been the “Frozen”. They never told her what the theme was the day before. She'd just wake up her birthday morning, a brand new birthday suit laid neatly on her dresser and she would open her door to see the adventure that lay ahead of her that day.
Mya had a few guesses as to what this year’s theme would be. A play on the words “Sweet Sixteen” was likely — a candy themed party, perhaps But she’d had a baking party a few years ago — and Helena was anything but repetitive. Mya didn't have any interest in cars, so she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu. She’d tried to look through her mother’s purchase history online, but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent. So the only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning.
May 1st, Mya woke. The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that her birthday took place. It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained. This morning was no different than her previous birthdays. She sat up in her bed and looked to her dresser before slipping out of bed and inspecting the outfit. She unfolded it and held it against her body, seeing how it was like. It reached down, just above the ankle. Mya dressed, eyed herself in the mirror and found it was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before. It was totally one for blue-collar workers!
