 (an extract from Probuditi!)

Calvin waited outside Trudy’s bedroom. Then it happened—a scream, a very loud scream. Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.

He heard Mama coming down the hall.

“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider.

“Do what?” he asked.

“You put that thing in my bed,” Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.

“Don’t think that just because it’s your birthday you can get away with something like this,” Mama scolded (责骂).

“You do want your present, don’t you?” That wiped the smile off Calvin’s face.

“Course I do,” he said.

“Then you apologize (道歉).”

Calvin dropped his head. “Sorry Trudy,” he muttered (嘟囔).

“Here,” Mama said. “Happy birthday.” At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope. Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the Magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist. “You’ve got two tickets there,” Mama said, “and I know someone who’d really love to go along.” She smiled at Trudy.

“You don’t mean here, do you?” Calvin asked, eyeing his little sister.

“Well, that would be really nice. But those tickets are yours. If you want to ask somebody—” Calvin didn’t wait for his mother to finish. He rushed out of the house to cell Rodney, his pal next door, that the two of them were going to see Lomax the Magnificent.

中考英语阅读理解****吓人的惩罚 

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”

“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”

Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking.”

(2017汕头市潮南区模拟)

Who are better at science in your class, girls or boys? These years, girls start to show more interest in the subjects of science, technology, engineering  and maths (STEM), according to a recent study from the UK.

In the study, every year over the last seven years, over 20,000 students who were in their final year in high school were surveyed. As for university courses, the number of girls considering choosing STEM subjects has a bigger increase than that of boys. Over one­fifth of the girls surveyed said they were considering jobs related to STEM, such as engineers. And the interest in engineering and science has also risen.

This is an important change for women in the UK. But at present, there are not nearly as many women as men studying STEM subjects or working in the fields related to STEM. Only 13%～22% of people who graduate from university with STEM degrees are women. And women are seen only one in eight STEM jobs. 

Are men really more suited to STEM work than women? Of course not. This is partly because of the stereotype,_which means many people think so, even though it is not correct.

“It is important that young women should be encouraged to get into these jobs. In fact, STEM subjects are fun and exciting. Studying science can do us good. It offers women chances of taking up fantastic careers and they will get higher pay in these areas，” said Niki Yates, manager of GSK's business.
