About 15 years ago, a humble idea for a historical fiction series erupted into a worldwide literary phenomenon, now known as the I Survived series. Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague (瘟疫), each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion.
In 2010, Lauren Tarshis released her first book. She never could have imagined that over the next 15 years, the series would become a bestseller, printing over 20 million copies to date. Tarshis has published 25 novels in the series and her newest release came out last October.
Tarshis visited the Blue Willow Bookshop’s Tweens Read Book Festival at Dobie High School in Houston and spoke about her recent novel, in which a boy named Ray fights the dangers of the Dust Bowl in the Panhandle of Texas. “A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.
The idea for the series originated in her family. Tarshis, a mother of four, noticed her son Dylan was having a hard time finding books he enjoyed. “Dylan said to me, ‘I want to read a book about a cool topic with a main character that’s a kid like me.’ That was really a big inspiration. I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read,” she said.
Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. “I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.”
4. What is a key feature of the I Survived series
A. Each story is set during the 20th century.
B. Each story is about a child in a real disaster.
C. Each story pictures a child’s real school life.
D. Each story presents historical events in detail.
5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 about Tarshis’s writing
A. It avoids hardship and emotional depths.
B. It centers on entertainment over education.
C. It’s mainly based on personal experiences.
D. It’s reader-focused with meaningful themes.
6. What does the underlined word “page-turner” mean
A. A book that is hard to read.
B. A book that tells true stories.
C. A book that keeps readers engaged.
D. A book that changes readers’ habits.
7. What message is mainly conveyed through Tarshis’s novels
A. History is full of unexpected events.
B. Survival depends on luck and external help.
C. Reading is the best way to understand the past.
D. True courage involves enduring and overcoming hardship.
C
The world’s appetite for seafood is growing, and the industry is racing to keep up. As a result, mariculture — farming seafood in the ocean — is expanding rapidly. A new study, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, suggests that mariculture could be expanded to feed more people while reducing harm to marine biodiversity.
The study was led by Deqiang Ma, a scholar at the University of Michigan. “We can achieve this sustainable mariculture development with strategic planning,” said Ma.
Ma and an international team of researchers developed a model to analyze what mariculture growth could bring to over 20,000 marine species. The team’s model created a baseline for mariculture’s current impact and simulated how it could change by 2050 under different scenarios. The researchers also factored in two climate change models, which assumed varying levels of warming and greenhouse gas emissions.
In the best-case situation, seafood production could increase by 2.36-fold compared to current production, while the global mariculture impact would decrease by up to 30.5%. However, the worst-case scenario painted a completely different picture. If new farms were built in the most ecologically sensitive areas, the damage to marine biodiversity could be more than four times worse than the damage that would happen if farms were placed randomly.
“Our study shows it’s essential to use the growing insights across disciplines, whether it’s climate change science or economics or marine production,” said senior study author Neil Carter, an associate professor at the University of Michigan. “All these different parts have to come together from other sources to make these forecasts.”
One key takeaway is that there’s no universal solution. What works in the South Pacific may not be ideal for coastal Europe. Additionally, in all scenarios examined, mariculture expansion could negatively impact some marine mammals like whales, seals, and sea lions. Understanding these trade-offs is essential for policymakers who must balance food security with conservation goals.
8. What is the purpose of the new study
A. To develop technologies for modern mariculture.
B. To reduce seafood prices by developing mariculture.
C. To balance seafood demand with marine conservation.
D. To promote mariculture as an alternative to marine fishing.
9. What mainly determines mariculture’s impact according to the study
A. The location of the farming.
B. The speed of climate change.
C. The type of seafood being farmed.
D. The size of the global seafood market.
10. What does Carter emphasize in paragraph 5
A. Reducing seafood demand worldwide. B. Using knowledge from multiple fields.
C. Expanding mariculture into all oceans. D. Prioritizing the protection of marine animals.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Climate change plays a vital role in mariculture.
B. Seafood farming can sometimes benefit biodiversity.
C. Mariculture’s impacts can be eliminated with technology.
D. There isn’t a single global way to expand seafood farming.
D
Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support.
Some character traits have to do with being a morally good or bad person, while others do not. Clearly, honesty contributes to being a good person, while creativity could be used in either a good or bad way. The morally relevant traits come in two varieties — the moral virtues like honesty and the moral vices like dishonesty. The moral virtues are positive qualities we should develop.
However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems. For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights.
So let’s change the example. Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government.
Now suppose that Samantha never steals supplies from the company, never falsifies (篡改) the company’s tax reporting, and consistently avoids such misconduct. How does that sound It’s still not good enough. A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest.
Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. The truth, however, is that character is malleable. Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. Every time we choose integrity over deceit, compassion over indifference, and generosity over selfishness, we refine our character. It is this ongoing pursuit that gives depth and meaning to a life.
12. What does the contrast in paragraph 1 show
A. Inborn traits define our capacity for virtues.
B. Personality shapes how one responds to situations.
C. Most people tend to offer support to those in need.
D. Moral judgment influences our reactions to suffering.
13. Why does the author give several versions of Samantha’s story
A. To prove small actions determine honesty.
B. To explain virtues require broad consistency.
C. To show virtues bring professional reputation.
D. To reveal virtues affect one’s decision-making.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards developing character
A. Skeptical. B. Unconcerned. C. Hopeful. D. Cautious.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How to Develop Moral Virtues B. Samantha: A Model of Honesty
C. Character Traits: Born or Made D. The Complexity of Being Virtuous

Between soccer practices, music lessons and school projects, many families find themselves questioning whether there’s time or even a need for their children to do chores at home. But according to Elizabeth Harris, a child and adolescent psychologist, asking kids to pitch in around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits.
Chores are not just about keeping a house clean. ____16____ One thing that often surprises parents is how chores build empathy. When kids understand what it takes to maintain a home, they become more aware of and grateful for what others do for them. That kind of perspective can be a game-changer in emotional development.
____17____ During the school year, kids thrive on routine. But during vacations, that structure often disappears. Adding a few regular responsibilities, especially ones the child helps choose, can provide much-needed rhythm and stability.
Assigning regular household duties can also enhance children’s cognitive development. ____18____ They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility. These are foundational skills not just for success in school, but in life.
So when should a kid start As early as preschool. Younger children love to feel capable. Simple tasks like cleaning up toys or wiping and setting the table foster autonomy. ____19____ They include maintaining their room, helping cook meals and managing pet care. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. ____20____ But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities. Kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something. Giving children and teens consistent, age-appropriate chores is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help them grow into responsible, capable adults.
A. The benefits go even deeper.
B. Chores also reinforce structure.
C. When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back.
D. These are skills that serve them well, far into adulthood.
E. Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers.
F. For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex.
G. Children who have age-appropriate chores develop stronger relationships.

A Long Way Back
Growing up as an only child, Daniel Harper often wished he had someone to share his quiet afternoons with. His parents both worked long hours, and the house felt especially silent after school. Everything changed on his eleventh birthday when his aunt arrived with a small cardboard box. Inside it was a lively brown puppy with bright eyes and a constantly wagging tail. Daniel named the puppy Rusty.
From that day on, Rusty became Daniel’s constant companion. Every afternoon, Rusty waited by the door for Daniel to return from school. The moment Daniel stepped inside, Rusty would jump up excitedly, circling him and barking happily.
They spent hours in the backyard playing fetch or simply lying on the grass together. Whenever Daniel felt upset about school or friends, Rusty seemed to understand. The dog would quietly sit beside him, resting his head on Daniel’s knee. To Daniel, Rusty was more than a pet — he was family.
But when Daniel was fifteen, things suddenly changed. His mother was offered a job in another city, and the family had to move into a small apartment that did not allow pets. For weeks, Daniel tried to persuade his parents to keep Rusty, but the rules were strict. In the end, the family made the painful decision to leave Rusty at a local animal rescue center, hoping someone kind would adopt him.
Daniel still remembered the day clearly. Rusty kept wagging his tail, thinking it was just another trip outside. Daniel hugged him tightly before leaving, promising in a whisper that he would never forget him. Rusty had been given a microchip at the vet when he was a puppy, but after that day, Daniel never heard anything about him again.
Years passed. Daniel grew up, finished college, and eventually became a teacher. One weekend, while helping his students with a community service project at a local animal shelter, he noticed an older dog resting quietly in a corner. The dog’s fur was now a little gray, but something about him seemed familiar.
Para. 1 When Daniel walked closer, the dog slowly stood up and stared at him.

Para. 2 After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff if the dog had a microchip.

My Word of the Year
My word of the year is fearless. This year has taught me that life rewards those who face challenges head-on and refuse to let fear hold them back. From giving presentations in front of the whole class to tackling the toughest assignments, there were countless moments when I felt nervous, uncertain, or even tempted to give up. Yet, I learned to act despite the fear, take risks, and push my limits. Being fearless doesn’t mean never feeling afraid — it means transforming fear into energy to grow, achieve, and embrace every opportunity with courage, energy, and determination.

A Long Way Back
Growing up as an only child, Daniel Harper often wished he had someone to share his quiet afternoons with. His parents both worked long hours, and the house felt especially silent after school. Everything changed on his eleventh birthday when his aunt arrived with a small cardboard box. Inside it was a lively brown puppy with bright eyes and a constantly wagging tail. Daniel named the puppy Rusty.
From that day on, Rusty became Daniel’s constant companion. Every afternoon, Rusty waited by the door for Daniel to return from school. The moment Daniel stepped inside, Rusty would jump up excitedly, circling him and barking happily.
They spent hours in the backyard playing fetch or simply lying on the grass together. Whenever Daniel felt upset about school or friends, Rusty seemed to understand. The dog would quietly sit beside him, resting his head on Daniel’s knee. To Daniel, Rusty was more than a pet — he was family.
But when Daniel was fifteen, things suddenly changed. His mother was offered a job in another city, and the family had to move into a small apartment that did not allow pets. For weeks, Daniel tried to persuade his parents to keep Rusty, but the rules were strict. In the end, the family made the painful decision to leave Rusty at a local animal rescue center, hoping someone kind would adopt him.
Daniel still remembered the day clearly. Rusty kept wagging his tail, thinking it was just another trip outside. Daniel hugged him tightly before leaving, promising in a whisper that he would never forget him. Rusty had been given a microchip at the vet when he was a puppy, but after that day, Daniel never heard anything about him again.
Years passed. Daniel grew up, finished college, and eventually became a teacher. One weekend, while helping his students with a community service project at a local animal shelter, he noticed an older dog resting quietly in a corner. The dog’s fur was now a little gray, but something about him seemed familiar.
Para. 1 When Daniel walked closer, the dog slowly stood up and stared at him.

Para. 2 After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff if the dog had a microchip.

When Daniel walked closer, the dog slowly stood up and stared at him. His tail gave a weak, familiar wag that sent a jolt through Daniel’s chest. The dog inched forward, sniffing Daniel’s hand, then nuzzled it softly. Daniel’s breath caught. Those eyes, that gentle nudge, were exactly what he remembered. He whispered, “Rusty ” The dog’s tail picked up speed, and he let out a quiet whine, pressing his head against Daniel’s knee. Memories of their afternoons in the backyard and the day they parted flooded back, warm and aching.
After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff if the dog had a microchip. The worker scanned the dog’s neck and confirmed the registered owner’s details: Daniel Harper, the same information his family had left years ago. Tears blurred Daniel’s eyes as he knelt and hugged the old dog tightly. The staff helped him complete the adoption papers quickly. Without hesitation, he decided to take Rusty home on the spot. After all these years, his childhood companion had found his way back home, and they would never be apart again.
