In September, I received a message frm my third-grade sn's schl that he was reading at a secnd-grade level. I was a bit alarmed by the news. Fr ne, my sn is ld fr his class; fr anther, I am a reading lver and believe in the pwer f bks.
S the fact that my wn sn - wh is bright and scres extremely high in math - was struggling in reading hit me a little, but it was nt a surprise. Like many children, he fell behind during the pandemic, and ur effrts t make him get caught up at hme were pretty ineffective. Fr example, as parents, we didn't d a gd enugh jb f finding the right bks t naturally aruse his interest and curisity. Anther issue was that at sme pint he began t feel self-cnscius abut reading, which created a strng dislike f bks.
Abut tw mnths ag, I had just finished reading a stry t my 6-year-ld sn wh shares a bedrm with his lder brther. I went t flick the light ff when my lder sn said smething I'd never heard befre
“Can I read fr just ten mre minutes?” he asked, shwing me his bk n prfessinal ftball players.
I f curse readily gave my apprval and tld this t my wife. “They're ding a reading cmpetitin at schl, which is abut bys against girls,” she said. “Every minute f his reading is nw added t their scre. S nw he wants t read - because it's a cmpetitin.” Over the next several weeks. my sn leapt nearly tw reading levels.
I dn't dubt that sme will lk at this strategy with disdain (鄙视). We're taught tday that cmpetitin is stupid, even harmful. This is nnsense, f curse. It's the frce that drve Rger Bannister t break the fur-minute mile. It's given us the achievements f Michael Phelps and Michael Jrdan. We shuld recgnize that cmpetitin is a healthy frce. It's capable f nt nly lifting tens f millins f peple frm pverty but als galvanizing (激励) a 9-year-ld child int pushing himself t read. That's pwer.
4. What made the authr feel wrried at first?
A. His sn's lw reading level.
B. His sn's being verage fr his class.
C. His sn's strng preference fr math.
D. His sn's imbalanced physical and mental develpment.
5. Why did the authr mentin Phelps and Jrdan in the last paragraph?
A. T take them as reading mdels.
B. T cmpare them with Rger Bannister.
C. T acknwledge their great achievements
D T stress the significance f cmpetitin.
6. What des the authr think f cmpetitin in educatin?
A. It ges against the nature f educatin.
B It is situatinal and shuld be balanced.
C. It is beneficial and shuld be encuraged
D. It deepens discriminatin against certain peple.
7. What can be the best title fr the text?

Using needles t deliver drugs has been cmmn fr mre than a century. The past hundred years have seen all manner f medical advances, frm life-saving medicine and X-rays t mRNA vaccines and special cancer treatments. Yet the needle has stayed mstly unchanged. Althugh nw available in a variety f different sizes, it remains a hllw (having a hle r empty space inside), pinty tube.
With luck, that may sn change. As Yichi Ma, a scientist at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, and his clleagues utline in a review paper, researchers arund the wrld are lking fr ways t ease the pain when needles g int the skin. Many have been inspired by nature.
The team gt their idea frm msquites, which manage t get their bld meals withut causing great pain t peple. One reasn is that the insects use painkilling chemicals when they first puncture (刺穿) the skin. But there is anther reasn, The pint f a msquit's saw-like prbscis (锯齿状的喙) is sfter at its tip. The insect makes the skin f its target tight befre biting, and shakes its prbscis as it pushes the prbscis in. All f this helps reduce the frce needed t puncture the skin.
One paper, published in 2020 by a grup f researchers in America and China, fund that a msquit-inspired needle required 27% less puncturing frce than an rdinary ne. And less frce means less pain Msquit-inspired needles might als be useful fr delicate prcedures such as bipsies (the examinatin f tissue taken frm a living bdy). A paper frm the University f Michigan, als published in 2020, fund that scientists culd imprve bipsies f tissue in sme bdy rgans. The lwer frce led t less mvement f the rgan itself, ensuring that the needles were guided accurately t the area that needed sampling.
Fr nw, such devices remain limited t labs. But there is a big market fr better needles. Accrding t WHO, arund 16 billin injectins were given in 2018. With ne persn in fur saying they suffer frm a fear f needles, the savings n stickers and sweets fr the brave suls wh rll up their sleeves wuld be cnsiderable.
8 What can we infer abut needles frm Paragraph 1?
A. Their imprtance has been ignred fr lng
B. They fall behind ther medical innvatins.
C. Their size remains the same fr ver a century
D. They had a pr surce f supply fr decades.
9. What is the aim f scientists' seeking t imprve needle design?
A. T lessen discmfrt.
B. T deliver much mre drugs.
C. T make the needles flexible.
D. T increase the frequency f needle use.
10. What is mainly presented in Paragraph 3?
A. The surce f scientists' inspiratin
B. The chemical cmpunds fund in msquites.
C. The unique structure f a msquit's prbscis.
D. The harmful effects f msquit bites n humans.
11. Why did the authr mentin the figures in the last paragraph?
A. T shw peple's anxiety abut injectins.
B. T highlight the limitatins f current needle designs,
C. T draw attentin t the dangers f t many injectins.

Recently, I pulled a jacket frm my wardrbe, paired it with my red trusers and earrings, and hit the twn fr a bk signing event. That night, I fund myself unexpectedly satisfied. I gt mre praise ver this jacket than I had gt in years. But what made me feel way better was t respnd, “Thank yu. I bught it at a secnd-hand shp.”
Nt nly did I spend minimal amunt n a clearly unbelievable find, but I als jined the ranks f cnsumers turning t circular fashin”-a grwing trend in refreshing ur wardrbe and prducing new clthes in mre planet-friendly ways.
As fr the clthing industry; it prduces clse t 10% f the wrld's carbn dixide emissins (碳排放) and is a massive cnsumer f the wrld's water supplies. T create a single pair f jeans, fr example, requires nearly 2,000 gallns f water. And each year, arund 8 billin barrels f il are used t prduce artificial materials.
Cnsumers als cntribute t the prblem. They buy cheap new clthes, wear them a few times, and then thrw them ut. The Envirnmental Prtectin Agency (EPA) estimates that Americans threw away 16 millin tns f clthing in 2018, with nly 15 percent recycled--the rest ended up in landfills r being exprted abrad.
Smething’s gt t give. Scientists are wrking t develp less harmful carbn-negative fabrics, while sme leading brands are shifting frm linear take-make-waste ecnmies t circular nes in which fewer clthes are made, waste and pllutin are vastly reduced, and the used clthing is given new life.
But there’s als a rle fr the individual in addressing the prblem. “Fllwing the circular fashin, yu’ll build an affrdable cupbard that's better fr the planet,” says Gama, c-funder f a cmpany that helps brands scare their recycling and resale prgrams.
Accrding t ThredUP, the wrld’s largest fashin resale platfrm, the U.S. secnd-hand market is expected t mre than duble by 2026. “Our resale reprt data fund that ver half f the cnsumers are mre ppsed t waste, bth financially and envirnmentally, says ThredUP president Anthny Marin.
12. What amazed the authr at the bk signing event?
A. Peple thught highly f her bks.
B. Peple gt attracted by “circular fashin”
C. She gt thers’ recgnitin fr her dressing
D. She had the chance t buy secnd-hand gds.
13. What d the statistics in Paragraph 3 mainly indicate?
A. The high csts f artificial materials.
B The seriusness f envirnmental pllutin.
C. The necessity f prducing artificial materials.
D. The high envirnmental csts f the clthing industry.
14. What are sme large brand cmpanies’ effrts mainly abut?
A. Imprving the quality f their clthes.
B. Researching recyclable clthing materials.
C. Prmting a sustainable clthing industry.
D. Making their clthes affrdable t cnsumers.
15. What is Marin’s attitude t the develpment f secnd-hand markets?
A. Uncertain.B. Cnfident.C. Objective.D. Curius.
