Writer Liz Pichon, known for her bestselling Tom Gates series for children, shares the books that shaped her.
Reading this as a child was a life-changing moment. My mum’s friend bought me this book to improve my spelling skills. She thought it would make me laugh. It really did. And it stuck in my memory a lot. I love the drawings — they planted a seed (种子) in my head somewhere that pictures and words go together and can be really funny.
This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved that it had all these silly poems inside with rich attractive drawings and it made me want to write rhymes, and to have a go at drawing. After buying this in a local bookshop, I started reading it. I’m always including silly poems in my books and I think that’s certainly down to the influence of this book.
This book has a special meaning for me. When I had to come up with a story for my homework, I could just change the plot (情节) of Jaws a little. My teacher would never know. He thought it was amazing. I tell that experience to children now, because copying other people’s stories is a great way of learning how to do things — by seeing how other people do them.

A. The Bad Speller. B. Silly Verse for Kids. C. Jaws. D. Tom Gates series.

Growing up, we’ve heard a lot of views of how sex (性别) influences interests and jobs. For example, boys do math better than girls, while girls are better at learning languages. We usually think this is because of differences in how boys’ and girls’ brains work. But is it true
According to past studies, some parts of our brains can be different in size. Scientists used to think these differences might affect how well men and women think and do things. They found this by scanning people’s brains. However, in most of the studies, researchers only scanned less than 100 people. As said in a 2022 study, for such research to be believable, you would need to scan the brains of thousands of people at least.
In 2023, the UK Biobank, a big database (数据库) used for research, scanned the brains of 40,000 people in the UK, providing new finding. It showed differences between men and women in the size of certain brain parts. About one-third of these parts were found to be larger in men, while another third were larger in women.
Also, our brains might change in structure (结构) and size according to our life experiences. For example, a man’s brain area use for math might be larger than a woman’s, simply because he works in a job requiring math skills. So, any brain differences between men and women could be a result, not a cause, of different roles in life and society, noted New Scientist.
6. In Paragraph 1, the writer explains views of how sex influences interests and jobs by ________.
A. telling a story B. making a survey C. giving an example D. asking a question
7. According to Paragraph 2, the result of the past studies was unbelievable may because ________.
A. the researchers scanned the people in an improper way
B. all the people researchers scanned are not from the UK
C. the researchers used wrong information to draw a conclusion
D. the number of the people researchers scanned was too small
8. According to the passage, the writer may agree that ________.
A. a boy is born better at math than a girl
B. life experience can influence a person’s brain
C. the sex of a person leads to differences in the brain
D. there are no differences in the brain between sexes
9. The following paragraph can best go after ________.
However, these differences were tiny, often just a size difference in percentage. They are not big enough to draw a conclusion from them, Camille Williams from the University of Texas at Austin, US, told New Scientist.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4

Malaria has been a big problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them. Countless people have died from the disease. Luckily, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu.
In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug for malaria. Her team took a special approach. They studied books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2,000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.
One remedy, which is 1,600 years old, uses sweet wormwood as a treatment. Tu found it worked and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it to make a drug. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and finally succeeded in 1972.
After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her coworkers decided to test the drug on themselves before trying it on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe, and all patients in the test got better. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment for malaria recommended by WHO, saving millions of lives around the world.
In 2015, when Tu was given the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the praise. Instead, she praised her coworkers and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”
11 What usually caused people to get malaria
A. Dirty water. B. Wrong medicine. C. Polluted water. D. Infected mosquitoes.
12 Where did Tu find a way to solve after the extraction failed at first
A. From different plants. B. From foreign remedies.
C. From classical medical books. D. From tests on animals and humans.
13. In the 4 paragraph, what does the underlined word “it” refer to
A. Malaria. B. The drug. C. The monkey. D. The mouse.

八、阅读表达。
Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to refer to ourselves as Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙).
Red represents the motherland and authority. Official uniforms of the Tang dynasty were red. In the Qing dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the five-star red flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted red. This is why they are called red-head documents.
For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the West. During the Spring Festival, Chinese people give red packets with money inside to children as good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are red. The word red equals prettiness. The expression “hongyan” is a synonym of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights, red means stopping driving. Westerners like to use the red colour because red is very bright, and it is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative meanings.
1.When was the five-star red flag first raised
2.Why are official documents called red-head documents
3.For ordinary people, what does red stand for
4.When do Chinese people give red packets
5.What do you think of the red colour

Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to refer to ourselves as Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙).
Red represents the motherland and authority. Official uniforms of the Tang dynasty were red. In the Qing dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the five-star red flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted red. This is why they are called red-head documents.
For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the West. During the Spring Festival, Chinese people give red packets with money inside to children as good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are red. The word red equals prettiness. The expression “hongyan” is a synonym of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights, red means stopping driving. Westerners like to use the red colour because red is very bright, and it is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative meanings.

Art is an important part of our life. My favourite art is making kites.
According to my grandparents, I looked forward to flying. One year, my grandfather made a kite for me. That made me quite excited. When I held a line to let my kite fly into the sky, I knew my dream of fliying came true.
As I’m growing older, I will leave my parents. But I know the line is still in my parents’ hand. With them behind me, I can fly farther and farther.
Art teaches us a lot. It makes our life rich and colourful.
