World Book Day is established to encourage more people to read and write, and to inspire everyone to respect and thank the great literary, cultural, scientific, and intellectual masters who have made significant contributions to human civilization, as well as to protect intellectual property rights.
Countries around the world celebrate World Book Day in various ways. Here are some examples.

On World Book Day itself, bookstores and libraries stay open until 1 a.m., and books are sold at a 10% discount nationwide. In the Catalonia region, books are also discounted by 10%. It is common to see many people walking on the streets with roses, because of a local tradition: women give a book to their husbands or boyfriends, and men give a rose in return.
The United Kingdom: Traditionally, the British celebrate World Book Day on March 6, earlier than the official date. Over a thousand events are held in schools, libraries, and bookstores, including story character costume contests, lunchtime story sessions, and various book fairs. Some organizations also give children 1 book tokens, which they can use to buy a book of their choice at member bookstores.
Canada: Book publishers and community groups send books to elementary schools, and schools organize various “reading competitions” among students.
Mexico: The Guadalajara International Book Fair, established 20 years ago, is closely connected to World Book Day. Every year, many publishers, literary agents, and reading lovers gather there for business and professional exchanges. The fair attracts more than 350,000 visitors, including 100,000 children.

Small, sweet, and slightly gritty when dissolved on the tongue: in the childhood memory of many Chinese lies such a tiny sugar pill. But it was never just candy.
The story dates back to 1955, when a large-scale outbreak of polio swept across China. Highly infectious and causing lifelong disability or death, the disease mostly struck children aged seven and under, sparking nationwide fear.
In 1957, 31-year-old Gu Fangzhou was entrusted with the challenging mission of developing China’s polio vaccine (疫苗). Facing two approaches: the inactivated vaccine, safer but expensive, and the live-attenuated vaccine, affordable but risky, capable of lasting immunity yet not fully proven safe, Gu concluded that adopting the live vaccine was the only practical path for China to wipe out polio given the economic situation of most families.
In 1960, after years of painstaking efforts, his team produced the first trial batch. When the vaccine entered the clinical trial phase, Gu volunteered to be the first test subject himself. Then, to prove its safety for children, he took the initiative to let his own son, less than a year old then, get vaccinated. “It’s wrong to let other families bear a risk,” he said. Fortunately, no child suffered harmful side effects.
However, liquid vaccines required cold-chain storage, making them difficult to distribute in remote regions. Moreover, their unpleasant taste made children reluctant to take them. Seeing his son reach eagerly for candy, Gu was struck by an innovative idea: why not turn the vaccines into sugar-coated pills A year later, a live vaccine in the form of sweet, heat-resistant sugar pills was invented, which could be stored at room temperature for about five days effectively.
The sugar-pill vaccine protected 1.5 million people and saved over 110,000 lives. Since the last reported case in 1994, China has not registered a single case caused by indigenous poliovirus. In 2000, Gu signed the certification of polio elimination in China. Recently, UNESCO honored his 100th birthday, recognizing his firm courage, selfless devotion, and lifelong dedication — a sugar pill that protected millions of children.
Why did Gu Fangzhou choose the live-attenuated vaccine finally
It did not require cold storage. B. It was affordable for most families.
C. It would eliminate polio soon. D. It had already been proven effective.
What can be inferred from Gu’s decision to vaccinate his son first
He wanted his son to benefit first.
He longed for gaining personal fame.
He prioritized public good over family interests.
He was convinced that the vaccine had no side effects.
What directly led to the invention of sugar-coated pills
The unpleasant taste of liquid vaccines.
The scene of a kid reaching eagerly for candy.
The high cost of cold-chain storage equipment.
The storage problem of liquid vaccines in remote areas.
What is the passage mainly about
The outbreak of polio in China.
A scientist’s sweet invention saving millions.
UNESCO’s recognition of Chinese scientists.
The development of China’s disease research.
C
Inside the Museum of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a quiet transformation is drawing visitors. It is not merely the gold and bronze that draw them, but the delicate journey of a relic from “broken” to “perfect.”
By replacing solid walls with transparent glass, the museum has turned its restoration labs into a public stage, making conservation visible. “This was a wall. Now, it’s a bridge connecting history with the public,” says Jing Hui, director of the Cultural Relic Conservation Center. The decision to “break the wall” stems from a desire to foster understanding of preservation’s labor-intensive nature.
For restorers, the shift from backstage to public view was daunting. Chen Qi, a restorer, admits initial anxiety. “We worried people might wonder why we don’t wear gloves, or think we are relaxed when sitting still,” he says. He explains that some delicate tasks require bare-hand sensitivity, and that “staring” is often a moment of mental connection with the original creator.
Through the glass, the craft’s complexity is revealed. Lab tools range from a carpenter’s saw to a surgeon’s scalpel. “Tools from all walks of life find a use here,” Chen notes. He calls restoration a multidisciplinary blend of science and history that ultimately relies on expert touch. The center also merges modern science with traditional craftsmanship. “Modern technology has upgraded restoration from an experience-based craft to a data-based science,” Jing says, though he adds that technology cannot replace the “warmth of the fingertips.”
In interactive zones, visitors can touch Song Dynasty ceramic shards ( 陶瓷碎片) and virtually assemble fragments on digital screens. Yang Qingping, deputy curator, says the goal is to build an emotional connection to heritage. One visitor’s message reads: “Restorers are ‘relic doctors’ in white coats, guarding the roots of our civilization with their hearts.”
The courage to “break the wall” has paid off. By revealing the silence and persistence behind the scenes, the museum lets the public encounter history not as a static display, but as a living process of rebirth.
Why were the walls of restoration lab replaced by transparent glass
To draw the public’s attention.
To help visitors watch antiques clearly.
To monitor relic restorers’ work conveniently.
To make restoration work seen and appreciated.
What can be inferred from Chen Qi’s words
Staring helps restorers work more efficiently.
Restorers are often misunderstood by the public.
Restoration demands knowledge of woodworking.
Restoration involves mental dialogue with the past.
What is the intended effect of the interactive zones for the public
Helping them identify real antiques from fakes.
Teaching them how to assemble broken ceramics.
Connecting them emotionally with cultural heritage.
Letting them experience the difficulty of restoration work.
What is the author’s attitude to the “break the wall” practice
Appreciative. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D.Skeptical.
D
“If you feel like sleeping more in the winter, you’re not alone,” said Dr. Raj, an associate professor of clinical medicine, citing research that found at least a third of American adults reported they sleep more in the winter. The 188 patients undergoing sleep studies at St. Hedwig Hospital in Berlin slept about an hour longer in winter than they did in summer, which the authors said wasn’t statistically significant. But participants did get 30 more minutes of rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep during winter.
The REM phase of sleep is the sweet spot of sleep cycles, characterized by more dreaming and faster heart rate and breathing than in other stages. It’s “an essential stage of sleep that helps with memory, concentration, mood regulation and immune function,” Raj said.
The desire for, or occurrence of, more sleep during winter may have to do with how light fluctuates throughout the year. “Our bodies receive signals from the sun when it comes to our circadian rhythm (生理节奏), meaning that when it is bright outside we tend to be active, but when the sun goes down, you may tend to feel tired,” Raj said. “The decrease in sunlight causes an increase in melatonin, a hormone made in the body that regulates sleep-wake cycles.” With the earlier production of melatonin during winter, “it would be natural to assume that a healthy person also would need more sleep during the winter,” said Dr. Weiss, a research assistant professor.
And light influences not only sleep quantity but also sleep quality. “REM sleep is highly affected by light and darkness, so when during the winter we have less light, the body is going to basically overcompensate by giving more REM sleep,” said Dr. Tal, a psychologist specializing in sleep issues.
Humans still don’t need to hibernate (冬眠), Weiss said, nor can we afford to due to our social and
occupational obligations. “But we can make adjustments in a better way during winter,” she said. “To help our bodies make this transition from sleep to wake, it’s important to have light exposure in the morning during winter months,” Weiss said.
What can be learned about REM sleep from the study
It rose by half an hour in winter.
It made up most of the extra sleep.
It was the only sleep stage measured.
It stayed unchanged as sleep time grew.
What does the underlined word “fluctuates” mean
Varies. B. Fades. C. Travels. D. Reflects.
What is the function of paragraph 3
To criticize the Berlin study.
To present a counterargument.
To offer practical sleep advice.
To explain the science behind winter sleep.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage
Why Hibernate
What’s REM Sleep
How to Sleep Better
Why More Winter Sleep？

Smart thinking means clearly expressing main ideas, planning communication, checking coverage, structuring evidence, and linking ideas together to convince readers of your conclusion.
What Smart Thinking Can Do for You
36 It also helps you understand how information relates to your own work, decide what is relevant and identify when more information is needed to solve a problem. It also alerts you to the importance of your audience, the requirements of specific situations, and your own assumptions and biases.
The Need for Reasoning
To think smart, you must use reasoning. What Reasoning Is ？ 37 It is best defined as a process of understanding and exploring the relationships between events, objects, and ideas. No single item is meaningful by itself; an item can only be understood in relation to others.
Reasoning enables us to see interconnections, so that what we know about one object depends on knowledge of other objects. It involves finding and expressing these connections, making each event or idea understandable in terms of others. 38 Let us begin with an easy example and practise making connections, such as similarity/difference, commonality/inconsistency, and necessity/sufficiency. When we make these connections, we are able to function much more effectively and to make sense of the world around us. 39
What We Do with Reasoning
As a form of communication, reasoning is used for: arguing, explaining, making decisions, predicting the future, exploring issues, finding answers, and justifying actions.
40 It is about the use and communication of knowledge. Researching, reading, analyzing, testing, checking, planning, and writing all depend on understanding those interrelationships.
So, smart thinking is about reasoning.
Reasoning is the basis of much of our thinking.
Reasoning does not come naturally but must be learned. D.Therefore, it is important to thoroughly trust your reasoning.
Reasoning can lead to wrong conclusions if not based on facts.
Smart thinking assists you in finding and evaluating information.
In particular, we can communicate and discuss with others better.

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。
On a hot July afternoon, twelve-year-old Mia found a baby bird lying under the big oak tree in her backyard. The sun beat down mercilessly, and the poor creature’s left wing was bent at an awkward angle, its tiny body trembling violently. A neighborhood cat was circling nearby, its yellow eyes fixed on the helpless bird, ready to attack. Without a second thought, Mia shooed the cat away, and then gently cupped the bird in her hands, feeling its rapid heartbeat against her palms.
“Mom!” she cried, rushing inside. Her mother, a vet, was washing dishes in the kitchen. She dried her hands quickly and examined the bird carefully. “It’s a young sparrow,” she said softly. “The wing isn’t broken, just dislocated. I can fix it, but it will need weeks of care before it can fly again.” Mia nodded without hesitation. Together, they set up a small cage in the garage, lining the bottom with soft cloth and placing a shallow dish of water inside. Mia named the bird “Lucky”, hoping the name would bring good fortune.
The first week was the hardest. Lucky refused to eat, chirping weakly and backing away whenever Mia approached. But Mia didn’t give up. She spent hours sitting beside the cage, talking in a gentle voice, offering tiny bits of bread soaked in water. Slowly, Lucky began to trust her. By the end of the second week, the bird would hop onto her finger whenever she reached into the cage, even nibbling gently at her skin. Mia’s mother rechecked the wing and smiled. “Another week or two, and it should be ready to fly,” she announced.
But Mia felt a knot in her stomach. She had grown so attached to Lucky — the way it tilted (倾斜) its head when she spoke, the soft chirps that greeted her every morning. The thought of letting it go made her chest ache. One evening, as she watched Lucky fly from one perch (横杆) to another, still a little clumsily, her mother sat down beside her. “You know,” her mother said gently, placing a hand on Mia’s shoulder, “it is time to let it go.” Mia stared at Lucky, her eyes welling up. She knew her mother was right, but her heart was not ready.

Unwillingly, Mia opened the cage. Lucky hopped onto her finger as usual, tilting its head as if wondering why the door was open. Tears streamed down Mia’s cheeks. “Go,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “You belong out there.” Lucky chirped softly, as if saying goodbye, then fluttered to the branch of the oak tree. It paused for a moment, looking back at Mia, before spreading its wings and soaring into the golden sky. Mia watched until it disappeared, her heart heavy yet strangely light. Her mother hugged her tightly, murmuring “Love isn’t about holding on — it’s about knowing when to let go.”
A month later, Mia was doing homework when she heard a familiar chirp. She looked up and saw a sparrow perched on her windowsill — head tilted in that unmistakable way. “Lucky!” she gasped. The bird hopped onto her desk, nibbled gently at her pencil, then flew back to the windowsill, chirping as if inviting her outside. Mia followed, laughing through happy tears. There, in the oak tree, Lucky had built a nest. In that moment, Mia understood: letting go hadn’t meant losing Lucky — it had given Lucky a life of its own. And some goodbyes are really just new beginnings.

W:Dear teachers and fellow students,it's hard to believe that our three years of high school are almost over.As graduation approaches,I want to take a moment to reflect on what
this journey has meant to me.
When I first arrived here,I was a shy girl who was afraid to raise her hand in class.I remember sitting in the back row,hoping the teacher would not call my name. But things changed in my second year when Ms.Lin encouraged me to join the school newspaper.Writing gave me a way to express myself without the pressure of speaking in front of people.
Slowly,my confidence grew.I went from writing short articles to interviewing teachers and students for feature stories. By my third year,I was the editor-in-chief and had to speak at school events regularly.
2 Looking back,I realize that growth does not happen overnight.It takes one small step after another.The people around us—our teachers,friends,and
family—are the ones who give us the courage to take those steps.
Thank you all for being part of my journey.I wish every one of you a bright and beautiful future.
