A Poster Contest
Engaging people in fire safety and prevention from an early age is crucial, so the State Fire Marshal’s Office is inviting primary school students across Ohio to participate in its Fire Safety Poster Contest. The contest is held annually to engage young minds, emphasizing various issues related to fire safety education.
Contest rules
·Posters must include a fire prevention theme.
·Posters must display positive behavior statements of what students can do to prevent a fire at home.
·Posters must only be on 8. 5 × 11-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 original. Computer-generated images and clippings from magazines and newspapers will not be accepted.
·The poster surface should remain flat.
Contest procedures
Elementary schools across the state must turn over the posters to their local fire departments prior to the September 30 deadline, so those entries can be displayed during Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12) . Then each of the local departments must select two winning posters — one from each grade category (grades 1-3 and 4-6) and submit them to the State Fire Marshal's Office by November 15. A committee will review all the submitted posters and select six winners in each grade category. Winning entries will be announced next spring.
Additional information on the contest is available at com. ohio. gov/SFMPosterContest.

In a quiet corner of Montreal, Canada, 72-year-old Elaine McBride has spent the past decade breathing new life into abandoned books. Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a haven for literature that others regarded beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice.
McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free adhesives, and a vintage press passed down from her grandfather.
Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it traced the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, ‘Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,’” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history.
McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are tangible memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories outlive their shelves.”
4. What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books?
A. A desire to teach others craft skills. B. The sight of books being thrown away.
C. Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. D. A childhood love for classic literature.
5. Why does the author mention the fire damaged The Little Prince?
A. To illustrate McBride’s technical skills.
B. To stress the emotional impact of her work.
C. To compare different restoration challenges.
D. To show the popularity of children’s books.
6. What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4?
A. Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular.
B. Damaged books can hardly carry any stories.
C. McBride promises to keep worn books restored.
D. Physical books can go beyond the physical form.
7. Which words best describe Elaine McBride?
A. Brave and responsible. B. Selfish and greedy.
C. Patient and generous. D. Ambitious and decisive.
C
Every day on the sides of streets across Japan, from major urban intersections to sleepy rural pathways, stand young children, ready to rush out into traffic. But Tobita-kun, the name by which the children are commonly known, never actually makes it out onto the road. These “children” are in fact a style of wooden signs that for the last half century has warned the nation’s drivers to watch for children who may unexpectedly rush into traffic. Often handmade by local councils. Tobita-kun has become an icon (图标) on Japan’s roadways and made a big difference in improving road safety in the country.
Across Japan, traffic accidents rocketed up through the 1960s, a period known locally as the “Traffic War”. Indeed, as a Japanese government department reported, in 1970 there were 16,765 deadly road accidents recorded nationwide — a rate of 16.33 per 100,000. Out of the chaos, however, emerged a cultural icon. Never officially named, Tobita-kun is recognized by similar names depending on the region, all generally translated as “jumping out boy”.
Tobita-kun’s design has been diversified over the decades. Structurally, the signs are commonly made of wood fashioned into the shape of a small, cartoonish child. Ready-made plastic versions are available in stores, although Japan’s local volunteer safety councils continue to make and paint wooden versions by hand. The classic design called “Series 0” was created in June 1973 by a signmaker who, five decades later, together with his son, still produces classic Tobita-kun signs for local parent-teacher associations who request custom designs.
Indeed as the classic “Series 0” signs spread throughout Japan in the 1970s, countless regional variations appeared, usually featuring Tobita-kun wearing a locality’s traditional dress. To explain the ongoing popularity of Tobita-kun in this country, Japanese pop culture expert Taylor Atkins says, “In some ways, various versions of Tobita-kun are similar to the municipal mascots (市政吉祥物). Towns and cities now have to promote and distinguish themselves.”
8. What does Tobita-kun serve as?
A. A road project. B. A reference guide.
C. A safety reminder. D. A direction indicator.
9. Why does the author write paragraph 2?
A. To offer background information. B. To introduce a new phenomenon.
C. To explain a sign’s cultural shifts. D. To compare traffic improvements.
10. What does the author say about Tobita-kun in paragraph 3?
A. It resulted from father-son cooperation.
B. It has developed into different varieties.
C. It is commonly custom-made by hand.
D. It is primarily generated by volunteers.
11. Which might be the trend in Tobita-kun signs?
A. Being uniquely styled. B. Being turned into mascots.
C. Spreading to other countries. D. Featuring artwork elements.
D
Today, the widespread ability to use Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in online retail is transforming how consumers pay for purchases. Rather than relying on traditional payment methods, consumers are increasingly using BNPL services to spread payments across interest-free installments (免息分期付款).
In new research, we found that BNPL adoption led to immediate and substantial increases in spending. Consumers who adopted BNPL were more likely to purchase, with purchase probability increasing from 17% to 26%. Furthermore, when adopting consumers made purchases, their basket sizes were 10% larger on average than before the introduction of BNPL.
Furthermore, the data also reveals a significant aspect of BNPL’s influence on consumer spending patterns. In subsequent tracking studies, it was observed that these increases in spending were not transitory: They lasted for close to six months, showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending.
To understand how BNPL increases spending, we conducted experiments and found that participants who paid in installments felt less financially constrained (财务受限) than those who paid in full. BNPL’s ability to divide payments into smaller amounts gives consumers a sense of better control over their budget. Smaller payments seemed more manageable, even when larger payments were delayed. Additionally, the smaller amounts made consumers feel the cost was less important, encouraging them to add more items to their purchases.
At first glance, BNPL may seem like a win-win for both sellers and consumers. However, our findings suggest that sellers are most likely to see increased spending from financially constrained consumers who rely on credit cards. Given that BNPL can encourage overborrowing and lead to financial pressure, it’s important to be careful about who is offered BNPL and how much they can use. Like a tempting dessert, BNPL can seem appealing short-term but carries risks if overused, leading to a financial “sugar crash”.
12. What do we know about BNPL?
A. It boosts consumer spending. B. It involves high-interest fees.
C. It raises the price of products. D. It sets up a minimum purchase.
13. What does the underlined word “transitory” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Rapid. B. Fixed. C. Temporary. D. Permanent.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Ways of using BNPL services.
B. BNPL’s influence on consumers.
C. Disadvantages of paying in installments.
D. A comparison of different payment methods.
15. Why does the author mention “tempting dessert” in the last paragraph?
A. To urge people to stop using BNPL.
B. To show the wide application of BNPL.
C. To state the benefits of BNPL for sellers.
D. To warn people to be cautious about BNPL.

Life as a student can be non-stop: homework, exams, and responsibilities often take over, and the things that truly light you up get pushed aside. When that happens, try spending some quiet time alone and ask yourself: What did I love doing as a kid that made time fly? ____16____ It’s simple, but it’s a good place to start rediscovering your hobbies and interests.
Have you ever been so into a game, drawing, or music that you completely lost track of time?

When you enter this state, it lifts your general happiness.

These small breaks become little islands of peace in a busy student life.
____20____ Start small, stay gentle with yourself, and remember: this isn’t selfish — it’s self-care. Being calm, happy, and at peace is your right, as a human being.
A. So, make time to do what you love.
B. You could read a few pages before bed.
C. The path to it, though, is different for everyone.

When Chloe worked on her book Raising Rabbit, something ____29____ happened: this rabbit gave birth to two babies and left them in her study. So much of her ____30____ time was spent with these tiny creatures hiding nearby; their ____31____ became part of her story.

47. 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。
I was a vet in Yorkshire. One day I received a call from Mrs Tompkin asking me to cut the beak (喙) of her budgie (虎皮鹦鹉). I armed myself with a pair of clippers and stepped onto the narrow strip of pavement which separated the door from the road. A pleasant-looking red-haired woman answered my knock.
“I’m Mrs Dodds from next door,” she said. “I keep an eye on the old lady. She’s over eighty and lives alone.”
She led me into the cramped little room. “Here’s Mr Herriot coming to see Peter for you,” she said to the old woman who sat in a corner. Mrs Tompkin nodded and smiled, “Oh that’s good. Poor little fella can hardly eat with its long beak and I’m worried about him. He’s my only companion, you know.”
“Yes, I understand, Mrs Tompkin.” I looked at the cage by the window with the green budgie perched (栖息) inside. “These little birds can be wonderful company when they start chattering.”
She laughed, “Yes, but it’s a funny thing. Peter never has said that much. I think he’s lazy! But I just like having him with me.”
“Of course you do,” I said, “but he certainly needs attention now.”
The beak was greatly overgrown, curving away down till it touched the feathers of the breast. I would be able to revolutionize his life with one quick snip from my clippers. The way I was feeling this job was right up my street.
I opened the cage door and slowly inserted my hand.
“Come on, Peter,” I wheedled (哄骗). As I lifted him out, I felt in my pocket with the other hand for the clippers. Then I stopped.
The tiny head was no longer poking cheekily from my fingers but had fallen loosely to one side. The eyes were closed. He was dead.
Mrs Dodds and I looked at each other in horror. When I turned my head towards Mrs Tompkin, I was surprised to see that she was still nodding and smiling.
I drew her neighbor to one side. “Mrs Dodds, how much does she see?”
“Oh, she’s very short-sighted but she’s right vain despite her age. Never would she wear glasses. She’s hard of hearing, too.”
“Well, look,” I said. My heart was still pounding. “I just don’t know what to do. If I tell her about this, the shock will be terrible. Anything could happen.”
Mrs Dodds nodded, stricken-faced. “Yes, you’re right. She’s that attached to the little thing.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to do something for her instead of telling her the truth.

It was a long time before I went to see how Mrs Tompkin got along with the bird I bought for her.

【答案】One possible version:
I decided to do something for her instead of telling her the truth. Suddenly it occurred to me that I could buy her a new bird in the nearby store. Mrs Dodds also thought it a good idea and even suggested one in the town. I cleared my throat, telling Mrs Tompkin that I was going to take Peter along to the surgery to do the job. I left her still nodding and smiling and, cage in hand, fled into the street. I soon found the shop and luckily there was a green budgie in the shop. With the bird in the cage, I sped back and hung it in its place by the window. “I think you’ll find everything is well now,” I told Mrs Tompkin.
It was a long time before I went to see how Mrs Tompkin got along with the bird I bought for her. “How is the bird?” I said. The old lady led me in and then laughed. “Oh, you mean Peter. He is grand.” In the little room, the cage still hung by the window and Peter, the Second, hopped around the bars of the cage, running up and down his ladder. Mrs Tompkin looked lovingly at him. “You wouldn’t believe it,” she said. “He’s like a different bird, chattering to me all day long. It’s wonderful what cutting a beak can do.” Hearing this, I feel relieved — my efforts did bring her happiness.
