Most 15-year-olds are worrying about their math homework and trying to fit in with other kids of their age. But Henry Patterson is busy running a successful online business instead.

Patterson, a teenager from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, started a business called Not Before Tea when he was just nine. He began by selling sweets, but soon turned to household products like wash bags and soft toys. The items he sells feature characters from a book he wrote called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip.

Patterson’s early school years were difficult. He saw the world differently and was seldom invited to parties. He also had a stammer（口吃）, which made him feel even more lonely.

But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually immersed（使……沉浸）himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. He tried very hard to express his ideas clearly and talk to bigger audiences. His business has earned him 65,000 pounds (566,221 yuan) and he has spoken at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers.

On top of this, he does his best to keep his schoolwork as a priority（优先项）. He takes his homework with him to events and does it on the train or after a presentation.

Two years ago, he wrote a book called Young and Mighty. It describes his search for success and happiness. “The real point of the book is to help people of my age think about how to make their way in the world,” he wrote.

You may have heard of the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river”. The main route of the Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. As the world’s third-longest river, its valley（流域）covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone（长江经济带）covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.

On Dec. 26, China’s top legislature（立法机关）passed the Yangtze River Protection Law（《长江保护法》），which has taken effect on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China, CGTN noted.

The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, due to overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish（白鲟）has died out after surviving for 150 million years. There’re also desertified（荒漠化的）land and soil pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai Province, Xinhua reported.

The Yangtze River Protection Law includes bans on activities that could damage the river. It also includes heavier punishments for those who don’t follow the law.

According to the law, fishing will be banned in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries（支流）and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.

Sand mining（采砂）will be strictly limited in the river valley. Many companies are mining sand along the river, as sand is a rare resource. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to decline.

Companies operating along the river will need to focus on green development. Companies that produce dangerous chemicals will be relocated（搬迁），the law says.

18. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River?

A. How old it is. B. What its environment is like.

C Why it’s important. D. What problems it has.

19. What does Paragraph 3 explain?

A. Why the river needs protection. B. How the river is being polluted.

C. How Chinese paddlefish died out. D. How the river will be protected.

20. What does the word “ban” in the Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Be not limited. B. Be not allowed. C. Be hard to test. D. Be easy to control.

21. What do we know from the story?

A. People can’t fish in the river’s major lakes.

B. Sand mining will not be allowed in the river valley.

C. Companies along the river will be moved to other places.

D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.

【答案】18. C    19. A    20. B    21. A

D

It is said that about 40 percent of the world’s population use social media like TIK TOK（抖音）, and many of these billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends（潮流）to follow.

An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e. g. fashion, travel or technology.

Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. Influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking influencers to market their products. It is no surprise that more and more people want to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are some tips on how to do it.

1. Choose your niche（适合的领域）

What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it.

Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts（账户）. The more you post, the more likely people will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts possibly follow a theme.

3. Tell an interesting story

Whether it is a photo or a comment that you are posting, use it to tell a story that will catch the attention of your followers and help them connect with you.

To Be a Better Citizen

Tai’an is a national civilized city. As a citizen, what should we do?

First of all, it’s important and necessary for us to help protect the environment. To make our city clean, we shouldn’t spit or liter here and there. Secondly, safety comes first. When crossing the street, we must wait until the traffic lights turn green. Besides, playing or swimming in the lake alone is not allowed. What’s more, health is of great importance. You’d better take exercise every day and say no to junk food. Finally, we should respect our parents, teachers and the old. We are also supposed to be kind, friendly and helpful to others. Speaking properly in public is also a good manner.

All in all, there are many things that we can do to make our city a more beautiful place.
