"Why did you do this without asking for my permission first? Don't you know it's a total waste of time and it will have a bad influence on your study?" That's what my mother yelled at the ten-year-old me when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.

I bowed my head; yes, she was right. By then I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come — the examination to enter my dream junior high school. For that. I had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favourite cartoon program and even the joyful weekend family reunion with my cousins. I wouldn't be surprised at all if my very strict-university-teacher mother got angry at me when I chose to do anything that had little to do with study at that important moment. In her opinion, if I hadn't spent all my time on my study I would have difficulty in entering my dream junior high school.

But that's not all to it. When I was ten, I was nervous, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm. These signs looked fatal (致命的) to my mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.

Well, I myself actually said no to my English teacher at first, because I had never done anything like that before and I was afraid. But he told me that — since I liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable garden.

The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher's words.

Apparently surprised by my determination, my mother looked as if she was close to another explosion-but she only sighed and agreed.

DEEP MAGIC FROM THE DAWN OF TIME

“Fall back, all of you,” said Aslan, “and I will talk to the Witch alone.”

They all     1    (obey). It was a terrible time this-waiting and wondering while the Lion and the Witch talked earnestly together in low voices. Lucy said, “Oh, Edmund!” and began to cry. Peter stood with his back to the others looking out at the distant sea. The Beavers stood holding each other’s paws     2    their heads bowed. The centaurs stamped     3    (unease) with their hoofs. But everyone became perfectly still in the end,     4    you could notice even small sounds like a bumble-bee flying past, or the birds in the forest down below them, or the wind rustling the leaves. And still the talk between Aslan and the White Witch went on.

At last they heard Aslan’s voice, “You can all come back,” he said. “I     5    (settle) the matter. She has renounced the claim on your brother’s blood.” And all over the hill there was a noise as if everyone had been holding their     6    (breathe) and had now begun breathing again, and then a murmur of talk.

The Witch was just turning away with     7    look of fierce joy on her face when she stopped and said,

“But     8    do I know this promise will be kept?”

“Haa-a-arrh!” roared Aslan, half     9    (rise) from his throne; and his great mouth opened wider and the roar grew     10    (loud), and the Witch, after staring for a moment with her lips wide apart, picked up her skirt and fairly ran for her life.

5 . The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Cold Dew, the 17th solar term of the year, begins this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 22.       1     The dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain. Autumn crops will be ripe. Here are several things you should know about Cold Dew.

Season for fishing

People always say that fishing in shallow water in autumn makes sense.     2     Fish swim to shallow water areas where the water temperature is relatively high.

Season for drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) win

Chrysanthemum is the iconic flower of Cold Dew. To prevent autumn dryness, many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine.     3     According to ancient records, drinking wine made with chrysanthemums gives people longlasting youth.

Season for eating hawthorns (山楂)

There is a saying that goes "It is time to harvest hawthorn during Cold Dew."     4     The antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in hawthorn are thought to boost heart health by strengthening blood vessels and stimulating blood flow.

A great time for hiking

During Cold Dew, North China takes on a look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves and early frost.     5     This custom aims to drive away evils, and originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

A．Extracts of the berries have long been used for health benefits.

B．Also, when the humidity is high, there will be foggy regions formed in many areas of China.

C．This is a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival, which often falls around Cold Dew.

D．They have been cherished for their beauty, flavor, color for centuries.

E．On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, people often climb hills with cornels, a kind of plant.

F．At this time, temperatures are much lower than during White Dew in most areas of China.

G．That’s because during the Cold Dew period, temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine doesn’t reach deep water thoroughly.

6 . China is expected to restructure its industry and energy mix during the 14th Five-Year Plan period（2021-2025）to lay a solid foundation for peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030, a climate change expert has said.

The best possible situation is that China will achieve zero growth in coal consumption during the period, and see usage peak and begin to decline by 2025, according to He Jiankun, deputy director of China's national expert committee on climate change.

During the period, China should promote the development of the digital, high-tech and modern services industries, while the expansion of high energy-consuming industries such as the steel and chemical industries should be controlled, said the expert.

That is because China is still in the industrialization and urbanization stage and requires significant infrastructure construction, He added, noting that a large portion of carbon emissions in China are created during the building process rather than being a result of the people's consumption needs.

The adjustment and upgrading of the industrial structure will be promoted so that energy consumption per unit of GDP will drop rapidly and total energy consumption growth will be controlled, He said.

China has announced that it will make efforts to bring carbon dioxide emissions to a peak before 2030 and become carbon neutral(中和)before 2060.

The carbon emissions target means a nationwide peak by the deadline, but at the regional level, the progress will surely be staggered given differences in resources and economic development stages, said He, stressing the need to take a diverse and inclusive approach that coordinates(协调)emission cuts with development.

Relatively developed regions in east China are expected to be among the first to reach a peak as they take the lead in economic transformation, and another group of front-runners will be from the country's renewable energy-rich southwest, said He.

Since the carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets were set, local governments have engaged in making plans at the provincial and city level, the expert said.

He urged local authorities to "suppress the impulse" to expand capacity in energy-intensive heavy and chemical industries, and speed up the formation of a green, low-carbon circular industrial system.

A．Peak carbon emission and achieve carbon neutrality.

7 . I got my first job at 12, as a waitress. I learned more as a waitress than I ever did in a classroom. When I went on to college, it paid for tuition, housing and, eventually, a camera. It allowed me to free myself. But best of all, being a waitress taught me to quickly assess and understand all kinds of people. Making small talks and quickly putting people at ease are great training for journalism.

From the moment I picked up a camera, I was hooked. All I wanted to do was take pictures for the university newspaper. The week I finished college, I was hired by the Globe, a regional daily newspaper. The two-year experience that followed was like a master class in photojournalism. Among the most important things learned there was that if you can make friends with a shy Norwegian farmer and be invited to his kitchen table, you can probably do well in any culture on Earth.

It was while I was working at the Globe that I happened to answer the phone one morning, a man's voice said, "This is Bob Gilka, National Geographic. I need a hail（冰雹）damage picture. You got a big hailstorm last night?" I overcame my nervousness and responded "Yes, sir." Thus began one of the most important relationships of my life, with the legendary Director of Photography Bob Gilka.

Bob was looking for talented photographers to join his team, and he was not easily impressed. Praise from Bob meant as much to most photographers as a Pulitzer Prize. My little picture of hail damage luckily won it, making me the youngest photographer in National Geographic.

I am deeply grateful for the amazing lessons photography has taught me. I have learned that language isn't always necessary, but touch usually is; that all people are not alike, but they do mostly have the same hopes and fears; that judging others does great harm, but listening to them enriches; and that it is impossible to hate a group of people once you get to know one of them as an individual.

1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To describe what life was like working as a waitress.

B．To compare the author's life before and after becoming a waitress.

C．To recall how a part-time job provided the author with financial freedom.

D．To explain how waitressing helped preparing the author for her life career.

2. The underlined "I was hooked "is closest in meaning to__________.

A．I was hurt

B．I was employed

C．I was addicted

D．I was successful

3. Why was the author nervous when answering the phone?

A．Because the caller was reporting on the hail storm damage.

B．Because the caller was an important figure in photographing.

C．Because she was uncertain about the caller's purpose and intention

D．Because she wanted to start an important relationship with the caller.

4. What has life as a photographer taught the author?

A．Listening to others is important.	B．People have different hopes and fears.
C．Journalists must have great language skill.	D．One can never really know people as individuals.
