Women are such amazing beings and if you need a bit of inspiration to keep going, here are stories of inspiring women who made a mark on history!
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new 10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all.
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)
She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimean War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women had been allowed to serve in the army.
She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy(遗产) in healthcare in the war.
Marie Curie (1867-1934)
One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In 1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays.
Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata.

Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’ s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn't make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’ s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her— the hope and the light— with me and how it continues to be a source of joy,”
4. What caused Ghunta's poor reading ability
A. Limited family resources, B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
5. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study
A. His mother. B. His sister. C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
6. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta

Sensory-based food education given to 3—5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children's natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games.
The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren't. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items.
The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children's willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out the dietary gap between families.
“Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains K hk nen, who is an expert on health.
Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial to health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood.
8. What is the main focus of the new study
A. The relation between diet and health. B. The impact of family on food choices.
C. The role of kindergartens in food education. D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education.
9. How did the researchers conduct their research
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases.
C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data.
10. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update.
11. What's K hk nen's attitude towards the Sapere method
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
D
Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo. They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter, to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter.
About 98% of a red panda’ s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive— around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’ s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda's area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining.
Natural disasters such as landslides, floods, heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitat. Forest fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering(including the death of the plant) have similarly had effects on the red panda's habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat.
Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar.
The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers and train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas and work with villagers to establish protected areas. The WWF is also working to protect red pandas and their habitat. Because more than a third of the potential habitat is in Nepal, the group works with yak herders (牦牛牧民) and other groups there to lower their effect on the red panda's habitat.
12. Why is it challenging for red pandas to find enough food
A. Bamboo is not good enough. B. They are not active hunters.
C. Their habitat is becoming smaller. D. There is a lack of water in their habitat.
13. What do the data in paragraph 4 mainly show
A. Global efforts to protect red pandas. B. Serious situations faced by red pandas.
C. India's deep protection of rare wildlife. D. China's advantage in keeping red pandas.
14. What does the Red Panda Network do to protect red pandas
A. Force yak herders to move away.
B. Advocate people to adopt them.
C. Cooperate with local experts to do research.
D. Work with communities to build wildlife feeding centers.
15. What's a suitable title for this text
A. The Key Points of Red Pandas’ Survival B. The Influence of Natural Disasters on Bamboo
C. The Threat and Protection of Red Pandas D. The Reason for the Disappearance of Bamboo

Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see. The following are some tips to help you.
Understand why you' re writing a book. Before you start writing or even thinking about your book, be honest with yourself about your reasons for writing it. 16 Or do you simply have a great story that you want to share with the world

Get feedback often. You might have a group of fellow writers, friends or family members with whom you can share your works in progress. It is likely that you'll go through many rounds of feedback and revisions before your book is published. 20 — it's all part of the process of writing the best book you can!

B. Choose a workspace that works for you
C. Is it necessary to further your education

阅读下面材料，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。
One Monday morning, Lilah Clevey started her usual journey from her house in Ann Arbor, Mich., to her college about an hour away. She walked out of the door to a classic Midwestern winter scene— the cloudy sky projecting a gray color on the already gray-white snow covering her car.
After cleaning her windshield (挡风玻璃), Clevey got into her car and drove to a nearby gas station, where she fueled up, bought herself a cup of coffee, and set back off in the direction of the highway. But as she pulled out of the gas station, she crashed into another car.
“The car was silver gray, so it blended (融入) into the skyline. But I also knew it was my fault. I was not being careful about it,” Clevey later recalled. “I was really scared because the driver's side was damaged. This was frightening because I knew the driver was sitting there and that meant she was probably hurt.”
Clevey, who had already been crying, got out of the car and started making her way to the car she hit, which was about 30 feet away. To her surprise, the driver, a woman a bit older than Clevey, looked completely unharmed.
“I was 19 years old. This was such a scary thing that had happened, and I was the one who did it. I was very apologetic, but I was also just like a baby in that moment,” Clevey remembered. “And this woman, instead of shouting at me, comforted me in that moment, which I really needed.”
After her tears stopped, Clevey asked the driver if she was OK. When the woman responded that she was fine, Clevey could hardly believe it. “I ran into your driver's side. How could you be OK ” Clevey asked. The woman said that she had a prosthetic(假体的) arm made of metal.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It turned out that the prosthetic arm protected her from the impact of the crash. ______________________

One possible version:
It turned out that the prosthetic arm protected her from the impact of the crash. Just as Clevey didn't know what to say, the woman offered to share her prosthetic story with Clevey. In fact, it was caused by a serious car accident several years ago resulting from her carelessness. She was much regretful for it and since then safety awareness while driving has been rooted in her mind. After hearing her story, Clevey felt shocked, mixed with a slight relief. However, in case there would be something wrong with the woman, Clevey insisted on calling the emergency services.
After a while, the ambulance arrived at the scene. Clevey accompanied the woman to the hospital for a thorough examination and felt relieved when she was told that the woman was fine. The two exchanged contact information and Clevey left the hospital with a heart of gratefulness. After such an unexpected accident, Clevey learned a lesson that one can never be too careful while driving.
