These books written by famous people are perfect for your little kids.
Kelly Clarkson Wrote a Book Inspired by Her Daughter
When Kelly Clarkson wrote River Rose and the Magical Lullaby, she named the main character after her young daughter. The story follows Rose, who finds herself in a magical dream world, led by the voice of her mother. At the end of the book, there are ties to a lullaby (摇篮曲) sung by Clarkson. She even said that writing the book was harder than any song she had ever written, but she felt like she had to try.
Jim Carrey Is on a Roll with This Book
Jim Carrey's new show, Kidding, on Showtime, is decidedly not for kids. His 2013 book, How Roland Rolls, however, is very much for the little ones. How Roland Rolls is about a wave who worries about what will happen when he finally hits the beach. His fear disappears when he realizes he's more than just a wave—he's the entire ocean!
Jamie Lee Curtis Has Been Writing Since the 1990s
You might know her best from the film Halloween, but your kids know her best as the author of THIS IS ME: A Story of Who We Are & Where We Came From. THIS IS ME is a story about immigration (移民). Curtis says, “Every person has an immigrant story in their family, and we're losing that. I thought it was important to connect that thread back to who we are.”
Steve Martin's Books Prove He's a Comedian for All Ages

Four years ago, Alastair Driver was made director of Rewilding Britain, a charity with a mission to shake up conservation in the UK. Rewilding, in theory, is to restore land and let nature take back control. Once he got started, he fell in love with conservation all over again. Alastair's goal is to make the concept mainstreamed. So far, he's been moving in the right direction. “The British government is including rewilding in future farming policy,” he says.
If anyone knows what's good for Britain's wild spaces, it's Alastair. His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alastair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016.
Now, he believes rewilding is the next step for nature restoration in the UK and it needs to happen on a much larger scale. As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, telling them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started. In just four years, he's seen a massive increase in interest. In the early days, Alastair would literally ring around his contact list to get people involved; now, he can hardly cope with emails and calls coming his way. Part of this change is a symptom of the bigger environmental challenges facing mankind. “People are more aware of climate change and the biodiversity crisis,” he says.
Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair's continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200,000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it's a huge step in the right direction.
4.What is Alastair's goal in Rewilding Britain
A.To regain his interest in conservation.
B.To force the government to make policies.
C.To get the idea recognized by most people.
D.To advertise the charity for more donations.
5.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.What Alastair studied in the past.
B.When Alastair started conservation.
C.How Alastair's father influenced him.
D.Why Alastair knows much about nature.
6.Why does people's attitude towards rewilding change
A.Alastair puts effort into promoting rewilding.
B.Alastair has faith in the value of rewilding.
C.People face fewer environmental challenges.
D.People are taught to rewild the land.
7.What can we learn from Alastair's story
A.Don't judge a book by its cover.
B.Birds of a feather flock together.
C.A devoted soul can achieve his goal.
D.A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C
Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot.
Housed in a huge mirrored, bowl-shaped depot(仓库) attached to the museum in the Dutch port city, its collection of 151,000 artworks by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Oscar-Claude Monet will be accessible to visitors from Saturday.
“It is the only fully accessible public depot that is open in the world,” museum director Sjarel Ex told AFP as the media toured the building on Tuesday ahead of the opening. “What happens here is that you do not follow the script that was written by a curator. You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.”
“Normally, only some 6 to 10 percent of collections at major museums around the world like the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen are on display, and the rest are kept in closed storage depots,” said Ex. That will now change for the Rotterdam institution. Visitors will even be able to watch works being restored. “If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork. As a result, it is very likely that it is into oblivion—out of sight,” he said.
The project whose cost was around 92 million euros has mainly been covered by private donations, featuring five different temperature zones for different types of artworks. The depot was originally created to solve a very serious problem—the possibility of flooding in a low-lying country where a third of the land sits below sea level. The old basement below the museum was likely to let in water, making it unsuitable for storage. “Every building is a moment in time, so this celebrates for sure the climate,” said its architect, Winy Maas. “Why Because it's the reason for the existence of this building—the former archives were under water. It was flooding, so we have to bring it up.”
8.What makes the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen special
A.It lies on a site below sea level.
B.Most of its collections are donations.
C.It has the most collections in the world.
D.It is the world's first museum to exhibit all collections.
9.What do we know from Sjarel Ex's words
A.Collections are not supposed to be shown.
B.Visitors can discover the collections in person.
C.The curator guides visitors around the museum.
D.The depot is just open to the public occasionally.
10.What does the underlined word “oblivion” mean in Paragraph 4
A.Honor.　　　B.Forgetfulness.
C.Memory.　　　D.Preservation.
11.What is the best title for the text
A.A Dutch Museum Was Rebuilt After Being Damaged by Flood
B.Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Held Its First Exhibition
C.A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in the Globe First
D.Major Museums in the World Will Display the Whole Collections
D
Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned.
Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea. The study can help assess potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be.
More than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland were researched, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study showed the large areas of the sea the four seabird species use. They found that it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It showed how far they travelled from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there.
The four species studied require conservation help, with kittiwake numbers declining by 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down by 61 percent. This means both seabirds are “red listed” and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are “amber listed”, which means they are considered to need conservation action.
Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey(猎物) is declining because of human pressure, including climate change. The result is that thousands of baby seabirds are dying each year because their parents can't feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.”
“The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management,” the experts said.
12.How did the experts track the seabirds
A.With the help of satellites.
B.With the help of the fishermen.
C.By observing human activities.
D.By feeding the seabirds.
13.Which is one of the purposes of the study
A.To find out where to catch more fish.
B.To judge which areas of the sea should be protected.
C.To know the seabirds' impacts on human beings.
D.To study the behavior of British and Irish seabirds.
14.On which country's coast would most tracked seabirds gather
A.France.　　　B.Ireland.　　　C.Spain.　　　D.Scotland.
15.What's Dr. Ewan's attitude towards the research
A.Puzzled.　　　B.Doubtful.
C.Positive.　　　D.Disappointed.

“Exercise snacking” does good
Health experts used to say you needed to exercise for at least ten minutes at a time to gain any benefit. 　16　That's why the WHO guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior no longer recommend a minimum time for an exercise session. Meanwhile, scientists have adopted the term “exercise snacking” to refer to bursts of physical activity that take little time. 　17　 It's still ideal to get longer exercise sessions regularly, but you'll benefit from any amount that you can fit into your day.
　18　
Lifting your voice in a choir (合唱团) has cognitive (认知的) benefits, according to a Finnish study published in PLOS ONE. The study found that elderly singers had better verbal fluency compared to non-singers. This makes sense, since it's a hobby that requires attention, information processing, linguistic output, learning and memory.
Patients with Parkinson's disease should hit the golf links.
　19　 But many patients lack the motivation. In an effort to identify physical activity that's beneficial, research presented at the American Academy of Neurology compared tai chi—which is known to greatly improve balance and prevent falls—to golf, a favourite sport of many people over 55. 　20　 Just as importantly, 86 per cent of golfers said they were “definitely” likely to continue the activity after the study's end, compared to 33 per cent of the tai chi group.
A.Choir singing boosts the brain.
B.Developing hobbies improves memory.
C.Short bursts of exercise will benefit the health in the short term.
D.However, evidence has shown that anything is better than nothing.
E.The patients playing golf saw their balance and walking ability improve.
F.Exercise is one of the most powerful treatments for people with Parkinson's disease.
G.Examples include a few push-ups, 60 seconds on a bike, or a jog up a flight of stairs.

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。
Jesse Dufton was born with a genetic(遗传的) condition,retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎),and over the years, his eyesight gradually worsened. By the time he went to university in Bath to study chemistry, it had got to the point where he couldn't really see images at all,only the difference between light and dark. And a few years later, he was almost 100% blind.
Jesse's mum was a teacher and his dad ran a charity, and they've always encouraged and supported him in everything.
Jesse started climbing when he was young. His dad took him up his first rock route when he was two. All his early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing. His dad had been in the Mountain Rescue and was part of the mountaineering club, so they would go climbing for weekends throughout the UK.
Jesse's father taught him everything and guided his first route outside when he was 11. At this time he had about 30% blurry(模糊不清的) central vision. He could just see well enough to place rock equipment, but no well enough to pick out the routes from the ground.
At university he joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently. They had regular trips to indoor walls and spent weekends outdoors. He developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe. On these he started Alpine climbing and ice climbing too.
But when his sight dropped to a level where he could no longer read, it started to be difficult to place equipment as he couldn't see whether it was properly seated. He also stopped being able to pick out the holds on indoor walls.
Jesse thought he might have to give up climbing as his eyesight got worse. But his parents never gave up hopes for him. They planned climbing for the family and encouraged Jesse to have a try again. Jesse smiled because he knew his parents would always be his best guide.

35.B　悲伤的再见是新生活的开始。通过前文可知Ekaterina 用一场滑冰来悼念Sergei,她用悲伤的再见重新开始了新生活,因此此处使用B项sad“悲伤的”符合语境。故选B项。
第二节
　　◎语篇解读　 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了糖画的历史、制作过程和意义。
36.when　考查定语从句。句意:它的历史可以追溯到明朝,当时在宫廷里,糖虎、糖狮或大臣的形象被用来祭祀神灵和祖先。设空处无提示词且前面有逗号,结合句意可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Ming Dynasty,关系词在从句中作时间状语,故用关系副词when。
37.mastered　考查过去分词。句意:随着这项手工艺被普通人掌握,现在在中国的各个地区,在街道上或公园里都可以找到它。此处是with的复合结构,the handicraft和master之间是被动关系。故用过去分词mastered。
38.various　考查形容词。设空处作定语,修饰其后的areas。故用形容词various。
39.an　考查冠词。此处指在那里,你可能会发现一个艺术家站在一个木制的摊位旁……,此处表示泛指,且artist以元音音素开头。故填an。
40.determines　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:大多数艺术家都有一个供人们旋转的轮子,他或她画哪种动物取决于轮子上的箭头停下来的位置。分析句子成分可知,设空处为定语从句中的谓语动词,根据上下文语境可知,此处应用一般现在时,先行词为a wheel,谓语动词应用单数形式。故填determines。
41.on/upon　考查介词。(be) based on/upon 意为“根据……”。故填on或upon。
42.to create　考查动词不定式。句意:然后舀起一勺融化的糖汁,在大理石上快速地来回浇铸以创造一个形状。此处应用不定式作目的状语。故填to create。
43.gradually　考查副词。此处应用副词作状语。故填gradually。
44.recognition　考查名词。设空处和and前面的attention为并列成分,作has been getting的宾语。故用名词recognition。
45.has been listed　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子成分可知,设空处作谓语,根据时间状语So far可知,用现在完成时,主语Chengdu Sugar Painting和list之间是被动关系,主语表单数意义。故填has been listed。

Dear Jack,
Knowing you are enthusiastic about traditional Chinese medical treatments, I'm writing to invite you to attend a lecture on acupuncture to be held in our school.
The lecture is to take place at 6:30 p.m. next Friday in the school hall, which will last two hours. Various aspects of acupuncture will be covered, ranging from its origin to its application in treating health problems.
It must be a golden chance to learn some medical skills and further explore Chinese culture. Looking forward to your reply.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
It was a route like a milestone(里程碑) and it was not easy. In spite of Jesse's bad eyesight, he still made up his mind to give it a try as a brave and positive person. Tired and pale, the tall and thin boy fell down many times during the climbing because of the rough road. What's worse, he couldn't see it clearly. Whenever he felt discouraged and depressed, his parents would cheer on him. Inspired by them, he insisted on climbing up all along. Finally, he reached the top under the guidance of his parents. Although exhausted and breathless, he was full of joy and yelled with excitement,“I made it!”
Paragraph 2:
Some people asked Jesse why he chose to try climbing. With a proud smile on his tanned face, he explained that climbing brought him not only joy but also a sense of satisfaction. Besides,he sincerely expressed his gratitude to his selfless parents. Without their support and encouragement, never could he complete such a challenging task. Most importantly, he realized that it is perseverance that is the key to success.
