A Poster Competition
Engaging people in fire safety and prevention from an early age is important, so the State Fire Marshal’s Office is inviting primary school students across Ohio to take part in its Fire Safety Poster Competition. The competition, centered on things about fire safety education, is held yearly to attract young minds.
Competition rules
●Posters must include a fire prevention topic.
●Posters must show positive behavior statements of what students can do to prevent a fire at home.
●Posters must only be an 8.5x11-inch paper.
●Any colors may be used; however a white or light-colored background is preferred.
●Crayons, markers, pencils and similar tools can be used.
●All artwork must be created by puter-created pictures and cuttings from magazines and newspapers will not be accepted.
●The poster surface should remain flat.
Competing steps
Primary schools across the state must turn over the posters to their local fire departments before September 30, so those posters can be shown during Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12). Then each of the local departments must choose two winning posters — one from each grade group (grades 1-3 and 4-6) and hand them to the State Fire Marshal’s Office by November 15. A group of experts will review all the presented posters and pick out six winners in each grade group. Winning works will come out next spring.
Additional information on the competition can be found at com.ohio.gov/SFMPosterContest.
21. Why are primary school students encouraged to join in the match
A. To raise their knowledge of fire safety and prevention.

D. To excite their creative minds.
22. In which situation might the posters be turned down
A. Drawing on a 8.5x11-inch paper. B. Choosing a dark-colored background.
C. Centering on a fire prevention topic. D. Using AI tools to make pictures.
23. How many winning works will be given out next spring

As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her interest to help others was woken up at the age of nine, when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi saw first-hand the damaging effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years, rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I want to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in general rainfall and an increase in the seriousness of droughts have led to about 75 percent of Tunisia’s farmlands being affected by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are willing to grow environment-friendly plants, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilisers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi strengthened her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her environment-friendly farming ideas into action. “I want to show young people in the countryside that they can create chances where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the influence of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with nowhere to get water.”
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival. Toumi guesses that some 3,000,000 acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.She expects to plant 1,000,000 trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to spread the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They fired her interest in helping others.
C They helped her better understand her father.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Low rainfall. B. Water pollution. C. Cold weather. D. Forest damage.
26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To create more jobs for young people.
B. To advance the protection of the local farmland.
C. To talk the farmers out of using fertilizers.
D. To help the children get a basic education.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Saving Water in Tunisia B. Planting Acacia Trees
C. Fighting Poverty in North Africa D. Holding back the Sahara
C
A new study has found that a child’s reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters in a text. The research, led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), examined the advantages of letter spacing and coloured overlays (颜色标注) among children.
Two groups of children, dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) and non-dyslexic, were asked to read four texts with either standard or wider letter spacing, both with and without a coloured overlay. They were instructed to read the texts out loud while being recorded. The recording was used to count the number of errors they made — specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation — as well as the subjects’ reading time.
The study discovered that texts with increased space between letters provided good for both groups. The dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase. In addition to improving reading speed, it also resulted in a major drop in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia. However, the study found that coloured overlays had no noticeable influence on reading speed or the decrease of errors for either group.
Dr Stagg, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU, said: “We believe wider letter spacing works by decreasing what is known as the ‘crowding effect’ (拥挤效应), which can hamper the recognition of letters and lower reading speed.”
“Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading texts,” Dr Stagg added. “While we found that coloured overlays provided little good, we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading. Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds, but they may lengthen reading focus. Early research suggests their advantage may not become obvious if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage.
28. Which of the following best describes the research steps in paragraph 2
A. Explain, group and report. B. Organize, instruct and read.
C. Question, guess and testify. D. Classify, record and count.
29. What can we learn about increased letter spacing from paragraph 3
A. It reduces reading errors. B. It improves reading skills.
C. It encourages reading interest. D. It pushes up reading ability.
30. What does the underlined word “hamper” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. win. B. achieve. C. prevent. D. change.
31. What can we learn about coloured overlays from paragraph 5
A. They might have been used improperly in the study.
B. They might not lengthen reading focus.
C. They might work better in short reading.
D. They might not be recommended by experts.
D
When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional ways: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture (做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.
As Mathias describes, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects made the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had special devices (设备) put on their heads. These devices sent weak pulses (脉冲) to their primary motor cortex (运动皮层) — the part of the brain that controls arm movements we choose to make. These pulses made it a little harder to focus on using that brain area. Those who did better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not happen when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults learned better with gestures than with pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor cortex itself that helps learning. The meaning expressed by the gesture also matters, “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class — and it could be used more often and more effectively.”
32. What do we know according to Brian Mathias’ research
A. Those only presented with matching pictures did better.
B. The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning.
C 22 German-speaking adults and children took part in the test.
D. The research concluded that gestures helped with vocabulary learning.
33. Why were special devices put on the subjects’ heads during Mathias’ test
A. To count words. B. To influence brain activity.
C. To record feelings. D. To help them find the answers.
34. What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning
A. Adults and children are equally good learners.
B. Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C. Advantages of gestures are more obvious in adults in the long run.
D. Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
35. What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom
A. Avoid traditional teaching methods.
B. Teach listening in a systematic way.
C. Make better use of gestures.
D. Do some scientific researches on teaching
