Dear readers,
“Persist.” — Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Success is no accident.” — Chris Bohjalian
“Keep writing and it’ll get easier.” — Lisa Jewell
“Be patient with yourself.” — Min Jin Lee
These are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status,
literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page.
In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them.
Wish you success and happy new year!
21．The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______.
A．a big dream B．constant practice C．earning money D．achieving success
22．Whose article may help those who are unsure whether to save an unsuccessful novel
A．Matty Dalrympl. B．Michael La Ronn.
C．Ryan Van Cleave. D．Andromeda Romano.
23．Who might be the target readers of this issue
A．Writers. B．Businessmen. C．Booksellers. D．Literary agents.

At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a
trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24．What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”
A．It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B．She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C．She understood the intention but still disliked it. D．Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
25．The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A．pick up a new hobby B．reconnect with her origin
C．gain insights into a new culture D．fit in with local community
26．From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A．reflects the creator’s spirits B．comes from creative energy
C．highlights the design of strokes D．depends on continuous practice
27．What does the author intend to tell us
A．Appreciate what our culture offers. B．Find beauty from your inner self.
C．A great teacher leads you to truth. D．We are the sum of what we create.

After staring at a computer screen for hours at a time, the body often gives us a clue that it is stressed: unbearable neck and back pain. To fix the problem, you might have gotten advice to focus on posture, but exercise research points to another strategy as well — taking short-term exercise throughout the day to relieve tension and stress in the body.
Fitness specialists at NASA, an agency where people work in high-stress seated positions, developed a set of 20 one-minute exercises to prevent pain that anyone can do at their desk. “Movement is hydrating (补水) for connective tissues and joints, changing the stiffness that arises from too much sedentary behavior.” says Dr. Helene Langevin, director of the National Institute of Health, which recently funded more than a half-dozen
studies on connective tissue and pain. “Taking small breaks and moving around throughout the day prevents your body from congealing (凝结),” Langevin says.
The NASA program included seated marches, standing calf raises, push-ups with hands on the desk, and neck, shoulder, and back stretches. “Your body is always talking to you,” said Marceleus M. Venable, a personal trainer in Washington D．C． and co-author of the NASA exercise program. “Your hands cramp (抽筋), you have hip pain and neck pain ... it’s saying: ‘Hey, can you stretch me ’ ”
No one set of exercises works for every body. Rather, people should focus on movements that challenge areas of weakness, strengthen multiple parts and that they enjoy, says Katy Bowman, a biomechanist and author of the book Move Your DNA. “It’s not as simple as asking everyone with back pain to do these four moves,” says Bowman. “It’s just like dietary nutrition. You need a range of movements that make the body strong from head to toe.”
In July 2023, Langevin published a video, demonstrating some of the movements she recommends, including taking one arm in a large gentle circle, while stretching the neck in the opposite direction and then repeating the move in the opposite direction, and on the opposite side. “Even if you are feeling sore, gentle motion can be soothing.” she says, “For musculoskeletal (肌肉骨骼) pain in general, movement is a really good thing.”
28．What does it indicate when there is unbearable pain in your neck and back
A．You have to stare at the computer screen.
B．Your body is suffering from tension.
C．You have got advice to focus on posture.
D．Your body has released its stress.
29．What does the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Remaining too busy. B．Staying up late.
C．Spending much time sitting. D．Taking exercise overly.
30．Which of the following is the correct way to relieve body stress according to the text
A．Resigning from NASA and taking a light job.
B．Providing sufficient water for various tissues of the body.
C．Promoting a set of exercises to benefit everyone.
D．Stretching your body whenever there is a chance.
31．In which section of a magazine is this text most likely to appear
A．Health and Life. B．Astronomy and Space.
C．Computer and Technology. D．Office and Efficiency.

The new radio programme from Self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me. In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life. I was, however, particularly interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away
Isn’t it always the case that just as you think you’ve got an area of life nailed, somebody comes along to show you that that’s not the case As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
There was the work boundary saying that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn’t take it — which meant I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
There was the boundary saying that I wasn’t to buy anything until I’d reached my savings goal — which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
And then there was a boundary around relationships setting out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in others. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn’t quite what I had predicted.
Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time Did I need to figure them all out again I’ve spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I’ve secretly put in place, and I’ve let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I’m a beginner again, and that’s fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be taken and that is something for which I can only be grateful.
32．What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle’s programme
A．The importance of boundaries to our life.
B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C．The urgency of confirming our boundaries.
D．The necessity of expanding our boundaries.
33．Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with
A．We should favor savings goals over boundaries.
B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D．We should stick to boundaries whatever the case.
34．How did the author feel after drawing the conclusion about boundaries
A．Relaxed and thankful. B．Astonished and regretful.
C．Pressured and anxious. D．Amused and delighted.
35．What is probably the best title for the text
A．Boundaries: New Way Out
B．Boundaries: Mental Happiness
C．Boundaries: Cage Allowing No Escape
D．Boundaries: Limit We Should Break

Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment It is said that straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic. 36
PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment. 37 They are also linked to various health issues, including liver damage, kidney cancer and so on.
For a more in-depth analysis, a research team conducted a test. 38 They were made from five materials —paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then there searchers conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of the brands of bamboo straws, 75% of the plastic straw brands and 40% of the glass straw brands. 39
On the whole, the PFAS concentrations (浓度) are low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, cause a limited risk to human health. 40 So the researchers advise consumers to use the stainless steel straws—or just avoid using straws when drinking.
A．They purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws.
B．PFAS was not detected in any of the five types of steel straws.
C．So many people choose to use straws made from plant-based materials.
D．However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.
E．However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.
F．The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable.
G．They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment.

Reviving the Old Book
Song Jing, a 34-year-old “book doctor”, has been working in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing for eight years. Song made her way to the ancient books division after graduating 56 Beijing University in 2015.
At the moment, Song and her colleagues are working on restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia 57 (create) in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). After receiving the challenge, it took Song and her colleagues six months 58 (research) and decide on 59 to restore the books. To restore them to their original form, they need to gather information from 60 (variety) sources, such as images and texts, before they can make sure their original binding (装订) style and repair them accordingly.
In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to determine the appropriate materials to use. As technology 61 (develop), they are able to use a new method to finish the task through microscopes. However, ancient-book restoration still requires essential manual 62 (skill), including cutting and brushing paper and binding. Apart from this, the restoration process requires strong control. If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper will tear; 63 if the touch is too light, the paper won’t adhere.
“ 64 (hopeful), I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion
in 65 field of cultural heritage preservation,” said Song.

67．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。
My legs and arms were shaking. Sweat was tripping down my face. Every step felt like thousands of needles were sinking into my legs. I couldn’t take it. By that time I had got three blisters (水泡) on each foot. It felt like I was in Sahara!
It was discovery week. Grade eight was visiting Altai for a week. We lived in camps near the river. Now we were going up the mountain called The Devil’s Finger. But the mountain was only getting steeper (陡的). Most of the people were already on the top, screaming, laughing and taking selfies. Then I realized I had left my hat on the bus and I felt even worse. I touched my head. It was warm, but I couldn’t do anything about it.
Most of my friends were up the hill cheering me on. “Pointless!” I told them. “I can’t go any faster!” They looked at me and laughed. “They have got to be kidding me! Are they doing it on purpose ”
I was making my way slowly up the mountain. My feet stepped on something. I thought it was a rock, but whatever. The rock slipped from under my boot and went tumbling down the mountain. I lost my balance and fell on the ground. “Are you OK ” I heard a voice behind me. “Just tired. I’m taking a break.” I didn’t want to say that I fell.
There were only eight people behind me by that time. I decided to speed up because I didn’t want to be the last one up. I looked up. Yana was already on the top, waving to me. “It’s like she isn’t tired at all,” I thought to myself. The sun was behind her so I could barely see her face. Actually, no. I could see a huge smile on her face. She was shouting something, but I couldn’t hear it. I decided that the rest of the way up I would not stop to take any breaks.
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。
However, my body wasn’t listening and I sunk to the ground again.

【原文】
M: I started my own company, CyberEdit, when I was a freshman. Most students have to write essays, and I aimed to provide computer editing services for them. During one summer vacation, I worked for an Internet company and in the evening, I spent another four hours working on my website. It’s not easy to develop a business. If you hope to be financially independent, you must do something while you are young and you can work long hours. For a long time, I was editing nearly ten documents a night. I spent fifty hours a week doing this. It was hard. Then I hired my first four employees, and I never edited a single document again. The next year, I turned down my summer job at a big investment bank and spent the vacation expanding CyberEdit. In December, Wired magazine contacted me and asked me to write an article about my life. After the article appeared in March, interested investors began to contact me. In June, one of them decided
to invest a large sum of money in the company. So the Wired article brought me over a million dollars in funding! More than anything else, good publicity helps a new business attract investors and customers. Investors came to me, not because I was making money and employing fifty college students, but because they read about it in Wired magazine, and saw it on ABC World News Tonight.
My advice to young people who consider starting a company is: Do it now! Don’t delay starting it until you’ve finished school or had some “real-world experience”.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟，包括初次接触书法时的情景，名字的由来，在美国放弃中文名，回到香港学习书法的原因，老师对自己的评价，以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔，所以他们请算命先生给我取名字，希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是，我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字：陈薏温，意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知， 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的，虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字，但她还是不喜欢。故选C。

能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可知，书法反映了创作者的精神。由此推知，作者想告诉我们，我们就是我们所创造的一切的总和。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了如何通过在日常工作中进行短暂的、针对个人需求的运动（如NASA的20分钟健身计划）来减轻因久坐带来的颈部和背部疼痛，强调运动对于改善身体僵硬和压力的重要性。同时，它也提倡关注个体的身体信号，选择适合自己的伸展运动，以维护身体健康。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“After staring at a computer screen for hours at a time, the body often gives us a clue that it is stressed: unbearable neck and back pain. (在盯着电脑屏幕看了几个小时之后，身体经常会给我们一个压力很大的线索：难以忍受的颈部和背部疼痛。)”可知，当颈部和背部感到难以忍受的疼痛时，这表明身体正在承受压力，故选B项。
29．词义猜测题。根据第二段中““Movement is hydrating (补水) for connective tissues and joints, changing the stiffness that arises from too much sedentary behavior.” says Dr. (“运动对连接组织和关节有补水作用，可以改变……导致的僵硬，”博士说。)”可知，是久坐不动导致的身体僵硬，推测sedentary的意思为“久坐不动”，故选C项。
30．细节理解题。根据第二段中““Taking small breaks and moving around throughout the day prevents your body from congealing (凝结),” Langevin says. (“全天休息片刻并四处走动可以防止你的身体僵硬”Langevin说。)”与第三段中““Your body is always talking to you,” said Marceleus M. Venable, a personal trainer in Washington D.C. and co-author of the NASA exercise program. “Your hands cramp (抽筋), you have hip pain and neck pain ... it’s saying: ‘Hey, can you stretch me ’ ” (“你的身体总是在和你说话，”华盛顿特区的私人教练、美国宇航局锻炼计划的合著者马塞勒斯·M·维纳布尔（Marceleus M. Venable）说。“你的手抽筋，你有臀部疼痛和颈部疼痛……它说：‘嘿，你能伸展我吗？’”)”可知，缓解身体压力的正确方式是只要有机会就作伸展运动，故选D项。
31．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了如何通过短时间的运动和拉伸来减轻由于长时间坐着工作而导致的身体疼痛，这显然属于健康和生活类的内容，文中提到的具体运动方式和保持良好姿势的建议也是健康生活中常见的话题，故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了人不能只做自己喜欢的习惯的事情，我们要突破局限，找到新的自我。
32．细节理解。根据文章第一段中“I was, however, particularly interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. (然而，当她提出这个想法时，我特别感兴趣，也许除了学习何时确认我们的界限外，我们还需要扩展它们。)”可知，作者对Glennon Doyle的节目感兴趣的地方是有必要重新评估我们的界限，故选D项。
33．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn’t quite what I had predicted. (在某种程度上，它阻止了我允许某人表达他们对我的爱，即使这并不完全是我所预测的。)”可知，在作者看来，设置界限会阻止我们交到可能的朋友，故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Then I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I’m a beginner again, and that’s fine. (然后我得出的结论是，当涉及到边界时，我又是一个初学者，这很好。)”可知，在调整了之后，作者觉得很放松，故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I was, however, particularly interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. (然而，当她提出这个想法时，我特别感兴趣，也许除了学习何时确认我们的界限外，我们还需要扩展它们。)”可知，作者是想通过一个节目引出话题：我们不能局限在一定的界限之内，我们要突破局限，找到新的自我，需要打破界限，所以，D项“Boundaries: Limit We Should Break”用作本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出由植物原料制作的吸管看似环保，其实吸管中的PFAS超标，长期使用对人体有害。
36．根据上文“Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment It is said that straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic.(使用环保纸吸管是否会让你感觉很好，因为你在为环境做些什么？据说，由纸和竹子等植物材料制成的吸管通常被宣传为比塑料制成的吸管更
可持续、更环保)”提到植物吸管虽然被宣传为具有环保、可持续性的特征，但是其中PFAS的存在使得这一优点不可信。第二段开头紧接着讲到PFAS的害处，D项“然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的”在语义上与下文一致。故选D。
37．根据上文“PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment.( PFAS化学物质因其寿命长和潜在危害而臭名昭著，会对人类、野生动物和环境产生不利影响)”可知，第二段首句是主题句，讲到PFAS的坏处。接下来分两条陈述具体的害处是什么。设空处是其一，后面其二，两者是递进关系。G选项“随着时间的推移，它们的生物降解非常缓慢，可以在环境中持续存在数千年”符合语境，故选G。
38．根据上文“For a more in-depth analysis, a research team conducted a test.(为了进行更深入的分析，一个研究小组进行了一项测试)”提到科研人员做了一个测试，可知本句承接上文，继续说明研究人员的研究过程，A选项“他们购买了39种不同品牌的吸管”符合语境，和后文“They were made from five materials —paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then there searchers conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS.(它们由纸、竹、玻璃、不锈钢和塑料五种材料制成，然后研究人员进行了两轮PFAS测试)”的吸管的材质表述吻合。故选A。
39．根据上文“They were made from five materials —paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then there searchers conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of the brands of bamboo straws, 75% of the plastic straw brands and 40% of the glass straw brands.(它们由纸、竹、玻璃、不锈钢和塑料五种材料制成，然后研究人员进行了两轮PFAS测试。他们发现大多数品牌（69%）含有PFAS，总共检测到18种不同的PFAS。在纸质吸管中，90%的品牌检测到PFAS。在80%的竹吸管、75%的塑料吸管和40%的玻璃吸管中也检测到PFAS)”提到研究人员对五种材料的吸管进行PFAS含量测试的结果，只有钢质的吸管的研究结果还没有提及，B选项“五种钢吸管均未检测到PFAS”符合语境，故选B。
40．根据后文“So the researchers advise consumers to use the stainless steel straws—or just avoid using straws when drinking.(因此，研究人员建议消费者使用不锈钢吸管，或者在饮用时避免使用吸管)”可知，设空处和后句是因果关系。正是因为PFAS在人体中会慢慢聚积起来从而对人体造成伤害，所以科研人员建议消费者们使用钢质吸管或不使用吸管。E选项“然而，PFAS可以在体内停留多年，浓度会随着时间的推移而增加”符合语境，故选E。

66．One possible version:
Dear Ryan,
I’m excited to hear about the English Reading Bar initiative. I recommend focusing on young adult fiction.
First of all, young adult literature often tackles themes and issues that are highly relevant to the teenage experience, such as identity, friendship, and coming of age, which can foster deep engagement and discussion. Moreover, the writing style in these books is typically more approachable for English learners, allowing students to focus on comprehension and enjoyment without being overwhelmed by complex language. Last but not least, they offer a wide array of stories with diverse characters and settings, promoting inclusivity and broadening students’ perspectives on different cultures and experiences.
I believe these selections will not only attract students to the bar but also enhance their reading skills and cultural awareness.
Best regards,
Li Hua

67．范文
However, my body wasn’t listening and I sunk to the ground again. It was too hot and my lips were dried. I reached for my water bottle. My blisters were killing me and the pain was unbearable. My lungs felt like they were about to explode. However, I pushed myself to get up. The Devil’s Finger laughed at me with its steep incline, but I refused to give in. My friends’ cheers echoed in my ears, reminding me that I wasn’t alone. With each step, I felt like I was conquering not just the mountain, but my own fears and limitations. For a moment I felt a cool breeze.
Finally, I reached the top of the mountain. The view was breathtaking. I could see everything from this height. Giant clouds were rushing past me like ships on the ocean. At the same time, the sense of accomplishment was indescribable. Yana ran to hug me, her smile wider than ever. “You made it!” she shouted. I looked around at my friends, all celebrating our victory together. The exhaustion was worth it. I had proven to myself that with perseverance and determination, I could overcome any obstacle. The Devil’s Finger no longer seemed so terrible, and I felt a newfound strength in myself.
