NPR’s Student Podcast（播客）Challenge is back — for a fifth year! This year’s competition will open for entries on January 6, 2023 and close on April 28.
As in past years, our judges will choose winners in two categories: grades five through eight and grades nine through twelve. Entries must be submitted by an educator or a student leader who’s 18 years old or older. Another important rule is that the maximum length of your podcast is within eight minutes, and longer entries will be disqualified.
Our judges will use the following criteria to narrow down and choose the winners:
Information and structure, 40 percent
Does the podcast tell a good story or teach us something new and important Is it structured in a way that keeps listeners engaged Can we easily follow the story you’re telling or the information you’re explaining Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly
Personality and creativity, 40 percent
Does it have personality, or does it sound like you’re reading from a script(脚本) Does it make us laugh or cry or leave us deep in thought
Production, 20 percent
We’re not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and we don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but we hope you’ll try.
Some podcasts may use a narration (讲述) format. Others may be more of an interview format. If you use sound apart from interviews and narration, make sure it is clear and smooth.

Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding.
However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go.
Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.
That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador.
24. How did the author react to the director’s request
A. He agreed readily. B. He turned it down. C. He reluctantly said yes.
D. He questioned his intention.
25. What does the underlined word denounced in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Finished. B. Evaluated. C. Changed. D. Condemned.
26. What did the author find about the school children
A. They explored the outdoors often.
B. They were keen on raising an animal.
C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife.
D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl’s future.
B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl.
C. The earth’s future is in the hands of children.
D. Releasing animals to the wild is not the end.
C
We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we are in low spirits.
Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection,which is a well-studied cognitive bias. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details.
If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words,the negative details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain.
Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic(怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.
But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.
28. What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Having a preference for good memories. B. Remembering exactly about the details.
C. Concentrating on impossible things. D. Thinking objectively about the past.
29. Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4
A. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically.
B. Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely.
C. Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously.
D. Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely.
30. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The good excuse for present unhappiness.
B. The accuracy of remembering past details.
C. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset.
D. The negative impact of recalling past experiences.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage
A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Objective.
D
Technology caused the problem of false news, and it’s easy to think that technology can solve it and that we only need to find the right technology to solve the problem. But this approach ignores valuable lessons concerned with how we acquire knowledge.
To understand how false news comes, start with an example. Imagine you’re out for drinks when one of your friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking you’re not sure it could be right. But then, here’s your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it.
This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony (证词). It’s similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, but it is less formal and much more frequent. Testimony happens any time you believe something because someone else proves the accuracy of the information. Most of our knowledge about the world is secondhand knowledge that comes to us through testimony. After all, we can’t each do all of our own scientific research, or make our own maps of distant cities.
Social media has strange testimonial rules, and it is hard to solve the problem of false news. On Facebook, Twitter and similar platforms, people don’t always mean what they say, and we don’t always expect them to. A the informal Twitter: advertisement goes: “A retweet (转发推文) is not an approval.” When a well-known politician was caught retweeting false statistics about race and crime, he told Fox News it wasn’t a big deal: “Am I gonna check every statistic All it was is a retweet. It wasn’t from me.” Intellectually (理智上), we know that people do this all of the time on social media, and pass along news without checking its accuracy, but many of us listen to them anyway. The information they share is just too attractive to ignore — especially when it is about our existing political beliefs.
32. Why do we tend to believe surprising news over drinks
A. We’ve confirmed it. B. We may be drunken.
C. We find it amazing. D. We trust in our friends.
33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3
A. The statement in court. B. The talk in a restaurant.
C. The evidence of a crime. D. The testimony of a philosopher.
34. Why is it easy for us to believe the content producers on social media
A. We are tolerant of their actions. B. Social media have issued odd regulations.
C. We will identify with them readily. D. Social media don’t check the information.
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. How to Fix False News B. How Incorrect Information Arrives
C. What Information to Acquire D. When Testimony Disturbs Audience

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others. 36 . Let’s take a look at some truths about inner beauty vs outer beauty.
● 37
Physical beauty varies greatly among individuals, with different people finding different features attractive. In contrast, inner beauty is often widely appreciated. Take Princess Diana, for example. While opinions on her physical attractiveness differed, everyone was impressed by her willingness to help others.
● Largely uncontrollable outer beauty, cultivable inner beauty
Outer beauty can be achieved with money through plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye, exercise, and wardrobe adjustments. 38 . You can read and educate yourself in all manner of different subjects for free via libraries, online videos, or academic resources. Getting involved in charitable works or nonprofit organizations is another great way to get that inner beauty growing. A giving heart and sincere care for others are two unparalleled qualities. 39 .
●Traits (特征) that people love most
When asked what traits they most look for in a couple or a life partner, the vast majority of people name things that have absolutely nothing to do with outer beauty. Some of the top responses that make the average list are the following: kindness, loyalty, a good sense of humor, trustworthiness, a supportive nature, generosity, integrity, understanding and compassion.
40 .They coexist in a complex, beautiful dance that varies from person to person. True beauty surpasses appearance, rooted in the human spirit. It is subjective and cherished for who we are, not how we look.
A. Great outer beauty, striking inner beauty
B. However, inner beauty can be earned effortlessly
C. Subjective outer beauty, universally visible inner beauty
D. In contrast, you don’t need a cent to cultivate inner beauty
E. Yet, we often adore the people most for their personality traits
F. Inner beauty and outer beauty are not enemies but companions
G. Even better, they can be developed by anyone in any circumstances

From seasoning the beef with salt and pepper to mixing it with wine, every 53 is a joyous celebration of flavor and technique. Making it for the first time gave me a sense of 54 , reminding me why I fell in love with cooking.

The brilliance of Quanzhou puppetry (木偶戏), 56 national intangible cultural heritage that 57 (originate) in Quanzhou, Fujian Province in the Qin Dynasty, lies in the skill of the performers’ fingers in controlling puppets by pulling threads.
A recent example of this historical art that showcases the harmony between tradition and modernity is at the Chinese Traditional Culture Museum in Beijing. 58 a skilled puppeteer controlled a designed monkey puppet to play a guitar, while another performance featured a robot dog 59 (dance) in rhythm with the puppet, which drew continuous laughter from the audience who were attracted by this creative combination of ancient art and technology.
The event marked the opening of an innovative design competition 60 (launch) by the Quanzhou government, aiming 61 (promote) the city’s rich cultural heritage and local arts. A 62 (strategic) important port of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou was once a center of trade 63 home to envoys (使者) and business people from outside China. This history inspired developments in handicrafts and folk arts.
The competition, “Inclusive Zayton, Imagination and Shared Future of the Silk Road”, is now open 64 competitors and intended to boost creativity inspired by Quanzhou’s unique history and local cultures. Zayton was the name foreign 65 (trader) called Quanzhou in ancient times.

The New York Marathon is my goal for this year. I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.”
At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise.Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake.
And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly.
As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point.
As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.”
注意：
1. 续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket.

应用文写作范文
When senior high school began, the biggest challenge I faced was the heavy academic load, especially in maths. I often struggled to finish my exercises on time and felt anxious about falling behind.
To deal with this, I made a detailed study plan. Instead of staying up late, I previewed lessons before class, asked my teacher for help whenever I got stuck, and joined a study group where we discussed difficult problems together. Gradually, I gained confidence and improved my grades.
This experience taught me that challenges are not barriers but chances to grow. With determination and the right methods, we can turn pressure into motivation and become a better version of ourselves.
读后续写范文
My mother's statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. I slowed down my pace, my steps heavy and my heart unsure. Every step felt like a struggle. I even considered turning back and heading home. Just as I was about to give up, the elderly Chinese gentleman appeared on the opposite side of the trail as usual. He looked at me, smiled warmly, and said in broken English, "You very good... you very fast." His eyes were bright and encouraging, as if he truly meant every word.
Upon hearing the man's words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. The discouragement from my mother's words began to fade away. I smiled back and nodded gratefully. From that moment on, I ran with a lighter heart. Every morning when I met the old man, we would exchange greetings, and his simple praise became the best part of my day. This year, the New York Marathon is my goal. Whenever negative thoughts enter my mind, I will remember the kind gentleman who believed in me — a stranger who turned a doubtful morning into a journey of strength.

6-7 BC
W: Have you finished the report
M: Don't mention it. I haven't even started writing it.
W: You must be kidding. It's due tomorrow. How can you finish it on time

M: Oh, there's no doubt about that, flying. It's the most comfortable and you get treated very well. Your luggage gets taken care of.
W: I can't say I like it. Actually I think the biggest disadvantage in air travel is that your luggage may disappear and get sent off all over the world.
M: Well, not in my experience. Some people may hate the long wait, looking at the board and waiting for their flight. But I'm a fan. What's your favorite means of transport
W: Well, I used to like the bus. It's flexible and cheap. But it is not always a reliable form of transport. Now I'm a great fan of rail travel. I've got a rail card and it gets me everywhere I want to go.
M: But it's slow.
W: Yes, but you'd hardly want to fly for a very short distance. My husband is a believer in exercise. He cycles everywhere. I know sometimes he's very tired but he's pretty fit.
M: I was just going to say how cold he'd get. And wet and windy as well.
17-20 BCCA
M: Good afternoon. Welcome to this tour of Davidson College. As a senior here, I could tell you all about my experiences in classrooms and labs. But I think it would be most valuable to talk about the campus as we walk around outside to get an overall feel of this amazing place. Over to my left is the library, and besides being the main place where students do research for papers, it's also where a lot of students hang out between classes. There are computers and comfortable chairs everywhere, and on each floor, there are areas that do not require you to be quiet. Perhaps this is why our students like it so much! Down the road to my right is the student centre, which is where students can buy coffee, snacks, and official Davidson College clothing.
