Your story should be no longer than 800 words, although it can be as few as 500. So what sort of story should you write We’ve had science fiction and crime stories and competitions before, but this time we want a thriller. If you send in a comedy, I’m afraid it won’t win. You may want to write about your own town or city, but we’re asking for stories set in the countryside. We think that gives everyone more chances to use their imagination. You can choose the season yourself. You might like winter because it’s dark and cold or summer because it’s hot and sunny. The judges are well-known writers themselves. Jack Harris wrote an award-winning novel, The Lion, and Carol Simmons is the editor of the magazine, Creative Writing, as well as the author of many short stories. You can email your stories directly to us. The email address is short story at star radio dot Co dot UK and the closing date is July the 12th. Any stories we receive after this date will not be judged. The winning story will be put onto our website for everyone to read. There are several prizes, including books and CDs, and the winner will be given a notebook computer that should encourage everyone to try and write a good story.

The Power of Reading
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I’m Li Hua, and it’s my great honor to recount my enchanting journey of reading through the pages of a book I read in my summer vacation.
I read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which, for me, was a portal to a world filled with imagination and insight. In the book, the little girl, Alice, falls asleep and dreams of Wonderland with strange creatures. As I delved into its pages, I realized I wasn’t only reading a story, but I was an active participant in that fantastic wonderland. Ever since, books have cast a spell on me, captivating me with their boundless charm.
This summer, books became my companions, guiding me through growth. In conclusion, the power of reading can enrich our knowledge and shape our perspectives. So, start with a book at hand and prepare to marvel at the treasures reading has in store for you! That’s all.
Thank you!

It was late when I got back, and I thought I had blown the online interview. I knew quitting an interview halfway was extremely inappropriate and no boss would accept it. I did not regret it, though. Given the same choice again, I still would have helped my neighbor and Marley. I was worn out as I climbed the stairs to bed. However, a quick glance at my laptop cheered me up. There were a number of messages from Ms Black. As I looked through the messages, I was more than shocked. She had continued to write for a while after I had gone. She was anxious to hear how the cat was doing.
Despite the late hour, I typed a quick message to reply to Ms Black’s concern. I sincerely explained the whole incident and apologized for the sudden interruption. To my great surprise, Ms Black replied promptly as I was about to shut down the computer. “You got the job!” I stared at the screen and couldn’t believe my eyes. “What ” Maybe she had mistyped. “You got the job,” she repeated. She said she was deeply touched by my kindness and sense of responsibility. She added, “Anyone who’s willing to rush away from a job interview to help an injured animal is someone I want to work for me and my puppy.”辽西重点高中2026-2027学年度上学期高三开学联考

Tobie Spears has always loved travelling. Upon graduating from high school, she set off with a friend to explore Europe. The journey was a precious life lesson. Spears realized that meaningful change requires not great efforts, but modest time and sincere care for others.
Determined to make a difference with her own hands, Spears and her new husband drove south through Mexico to Guatemala. Possessing beautiful natural scenery, the land has been inhabited by local people for thousands of years. During her stay, she found the cheerful locals were trapped in tough and backward living conditions.
Renting a village house, the couple experienced far more primitive life than at home. Local villagers suffered from food shortages, poor education and a lack of sustainable living ways. Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change. “We didn’t want to just give them a few things and go home,” she says. “We want them to be able to sustain themselves.”
The couple launched practical educational programs covering three key areas: nutrition, self-sustainability and income-generation. They taught villagers useful life skills like operating sewing machines and building high-yield gardens. Though making steady progress was challenging with only four visits a year, their efforts eventually paid off.
Gradually, local villagers embraced these new practical skills and made steady progress. They used vertical (垂直的) gardening to boost vegetable output, and skilled female tailors earned a living by sewing. To expand charitable work, Spears founded the nonprofit Be Humanitarian. It attracted more sponsors and volunteers, forming a warm and supportive community in the village.
Spears’ children also joined the voluntary work actively as her family grew. Volunteers visit the village four times a year to guide and help local villagers in need. As volunteer Emery put it, the experience totally changed his life outlook, proving true happiness lies in sincere interpersonal relationships.
24．What did Spears learn from her first European trip
A．Great efforts are needed to realize big dreams.
B．Small kindness can bring meaningful changes.
C．Travelling can enrich one’s life experience greatly.
D．Young people should travel to broaden their horizons.
25．Why did Spears refuse to provide temporary help for locals
A．Temporary help was not accepted by the villagers.
B．The local living conditions were too tough to bear.
C．She lacked enough time for long-term voluntary work.
D．It could not solve the villagers’ fundamental problems.
26．What does the underlined word “embraced” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Accepted. B．Doubted. C．Abandoned. D．Promoted.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．A Traveller: A Life-Transformed Volunteer
B．Be Humanitarian: A Popular Nonprofit Group
C．Travel: A Wonderful Way to Explore the World
D．Village Service: Voluntary Work in the Countryside
C
According to an official report, with more than 40% of US teenagers reporting ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness, Dr Kenneth Barish, a child psychologist, believes grandparents may be an important part of the solution. He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health.
“We did not evolve to raise children with as little extended family and community support as most American parents have now,” says Dr Barish. “Children need grandparents, and they always have.”
In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges.
Dr Barish says grandparents offer more than just practical support for parents. They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”.
“A child’s confident expectation that someone will listen and understand is the best protection against the emotional pathogens (病原体) they will experience throughout their childhood. More than anything else, children need someone in their life who listens, who helps them feel less alone, and who teaches them that problems can be solved, relationships can be repaired, and bad feelings do not last forever,” Dr Barish explains.
Ultimately, Dr Barish argues, “Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. Our children will then work harder, bounce back more quickly, show more caring and kindness toward others, and pursue interests with greater enthusiasm, commitment, and a sense of purpose.”
28．What does Dr Barish think contribute to the ongoing crisis in child mental health
A．Growing bonds between generations.
B．Reduced family and neighbor assistance.
C．Insufficient community support for parents.
D．Less participation from relatives in raising kids.
29．What lays the foundation of Dr Barish’s new book
A．His family upbringing and observations of child behavior.
B．His clinical records and data from brain science research.
C．His four-decade practice and findings from related fields.
D．His professional background and modern educational theories.
30．Which can be the molecules of emotional health
A．Small acts of emotional care. B．Expensive gifts for children.
C．Strict rules for behavior. D．Physical medicines for health.
31．What is crucial for children to thrive according to the last paragraph
A．Mastering specific skills. B．Pursuing personal interests.
C．Showing caring toward others. D．Developing emotional intelligence.
D
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — whether rich or poor, clever or stupid — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough. We find in such counties a far large number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such counties. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that is very bad to be shamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
32．The writer of the passage thinks that________.
A．education can settle most of the world’s problems. B．free education for all probably leads to a perfect world.
C．free education won’t help to solve social problems. D．all the social problems can’t be solved by education
33．The writer wants to prove that________.
A．our society needs all kinds of jobs. B．our society needs free education for all
C．a farmer is more important than a professor D．people with university degree often refuse to do “low” work
34．According to the passage, ________.
A．work with hands is dirty and shameful B．work with hands is low work
C．work with hands is the most important D．we can’t regard work with hands as low work
35．The passage tells about _________ of education.
A．the means B．the system C．the value D．the type

When I was younger, I rarely thought about self-care, as I believed that success simply meant working as hard as possible and constantly pushing myself forward. 36
However, over time, I gradually began to feel both physically and mentally exhausted. Things that once seemed like simple daily routines became increasingly difficult to manage. 37 For the first time, I understood that ignoring my own needs was not helping me grow, but instead leaving me in a worse state. With this awareness, I made up my mind to seek help and adjust my lifestyle step by step.
38 At first, even preparing a simple meal felt unfamiliar and challenging. Yet as I continued, I discovered that cooking required patience, attention, and, above all, care for myself. 39 Gradually, I found myself becoming more balanced, both physically and emotionally.
As time passed, I also began to share meals with others, which made the experience more meaningful and natural. A personal struggle gradually turned into a way of connecting with the people around me. I came to realize that self-care is not selfish. 40 Looking back, I no longer see self-care as an option, but as something that allows life to feel steady, balanced, and truly lived.
A．I slowly started to rebuild my daily routine.
B．It was at that moment that I realized something needed to change.
C．The practice brought me far greater financial benefits than inner peace.
D．Cooking with a sense of enjoyment became my way of challenging myself.
E．Instead, it quietly supports our ability to care for others in a more genuine way.
F．It was no longer just a routine task, but a quiet moment to reconnect with my body and mind.
G．Based on this belief, everyday activities such as cooking seemed unrelated to a meaningful life.

What makes the ink brush truly special is its flexible tip, 58 (traditional) made from animal hair like rabbit, goat, or wolf. This flexibility allows the artist 59 (create) an extraordinary range of strokes —from razor-thin lines to bold, sweeping washes — simply by adjusting 60 (press) and angle. This dynamic quality means that every brushstroke is alive, 61 (capture) the energy and emotion of the moment.
Using an ink brush is a disciplined art form. Calligraphers must control 62 (they) breath, posture, and mind, as even a slight tremor can change the work’s entire character. Therefore, it is often seen as a path to self-cultivation, 63 the pursuit of beauty is inseparable 64 the pursuit of personal harmony. It is not just about writing characters or painting landscapes; it’s a meditation in motion. Today, while digital tools dominate, the ink brush 65 (remain) a powerful symbol of cultural heritage and the enduring beauty of human touch.

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。
“And that’s why I think I’d be good for this job,” I finished typing. I was having an interview online and talking with my potential employer, Ms Black. We had not met in person yet. But from what I had read of her requirements for a personal assistant, I knew I wanted the position. She even had a little pet dog who had the final say on any applicant. “Your puppy sounds so cute,” I added. “I love dogs.” Then, I started to worry that typing that was too much at this early stage and stopped myself from adding anything more.
The bubbles appeared on screen, showing that the lady was typing something in response, when there was a knock at my front door. My mother was in, and as I was in the middle of an online interview, I asked her to answer it. I heard a lot of muffled (模糊不清的) noise and then my mother called my name. I hurried downstairs, wondering what was going on.
Our neighbor was in our entrance hall, holding her little cat, Marley. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. “We were attacked by a big dog,” she wept. Marley was quiet in her arms but alert.
“Are you okay ”
“Yes. But Marley is hurt,” she nodded shakily and said.
“Let’s take Marley to the veterinary (兽医的) hospital. I’ll be with you in a moment.”
I took the stairs two at a time. I was supposed to be in the middle of an interview. There was more writing from my potential employer on the screen, but I took no time to read it. I quickly wrote: “So sorry. Have to go. Neighbor’s cat hurt, taking to veterinary hospital.” Half the words were probably jumbled (乱七八糟的), but I clicked “send” and did not wait for an answer. I just seized my bag and ran back downstairs.

It was late when I got back, and I thought I had blown the online interview.

Despite the late hour, I typed a quick message to reply to Ms Black’s concern.
