A
It was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why
are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.
I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but
argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were justalong for the ride. My
other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.
This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of
female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.
I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea forA Problematic Paradoxand my answer is always the
same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer because it's simple and makes me seem very
creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't
my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.
My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering,
and math), believing those areas of study unfriendly or out-of-the-norm for girls. I also read about how important
role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but seeing someone like
them doing that thing can be more powerful.
So, I kept two guidelines for the book in mind: First, the story had to be fun for anyone, because it's as important
for boys to understand that science is for everyone. Second, I wanted the main character, Nikola, to be imperfect.
She should be someone with shortcomings as we all have. I think this not only makes a story more interesting to
read, but also helps make it clear that the most extraordinary things can be done by ordinary people.
1. What does the underlined phrase “along for the ride” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Entering a bike race. B. Offering vital help.
C. Doing unimportant things. D. Playing the leading role.
2. What do we know about the bookA Problematic Paradox1?
A. Its main character is perfect. B. It is a female-led science fiction.
C. It is intended to appeal to girls only. D. Its idea comes from the author's inspiration. 3. Which of the following best describes the author's book?
A. Serious and abstract. B. Simple and practical.
C. Creative and well-organized. D. Inspiring and interesting.
B
When rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A
concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team
in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to
believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.
But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers
weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional
weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s
rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.
In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite
warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a
field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find
foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time,
but went too far.”
The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”.
She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully
off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon
another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.
4. What did people think happened to the owl at first?
A. She was hurt. B. She was trapped.
C. She was hungry. D. She was wet.
5. Why was the bird unable to fly?

In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer.
But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have
left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly
spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and
sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream
under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a

For some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring
comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why
dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.
However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and
Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.
Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft.
An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something
