By 2030, the Gvernment wants 95%f the UK’s electricity t cme frm lw-carbn energy surces. Carbn dixide is a greenhuse gas that is released frm the burning f fssil fuels (cal, il and gas). It is a big cause f climate change- lng-term shifts in weather patterns, including rising temperatures.

The Gvernment wants t make the UK’s energy cleaner and cheaper, and fr the UK t prduce its wn energy rather than relying n ther cuntries. Russia’s invasin f Ukraine has affected the wrld’s gas and il supply, making pwer mre expensive.
The UK Prime Minister, Bris Jhnsn, says the plans will lead t clean and secure energy made in Britain. Sme peple have said that these plans dn’t g far enugh and wn’t help peple wh are struggling with high energy bills at the mment.
Labur Party leader Keir Starmer has said that the Gvernment shuld d mre t insulate peple’s hmes. Insulating hmes is when material is put inside a huse t stp heat frm getting ut. It means peple wuld need t use less energy t heat their hmes.

I slept with my bracelets and shwered with them. I wre them all summer lng at camp.

I thught having them helped ease the pain f leaving my friends. But nw I see that they were really helping me t leave behind childhd.
My kids dn’t g t summer camp. They certainly dn’t exchange anything as uncl as bracelets with their friends. They hang ut n Discrd (一种聊天工具) in chats that nly pause but never end. Our eldest sn endlessly texts n his cellphne as he and his friends make ne anther talking emjis and TikTk vides.
Their relatinships with their phnes leave n time r space fr writing letters r making bracelets, and their gifts t ne anther leave n clear and definite traces. There will be n bxes f letters t srt years frm nw nr any hidden bracelets t find. They will have little t physically hld n t.

The Best Way t Enjy a Bk
I am n slw eater. I can’t remember the number f times I was tld as a child nt t gbble my fd. Nr have I been a slw reader. I went thrugh bks like cmbine harvesters thrugh crps in the English village f my childhd.
Perhaps I will cntinue t gbble my fd until my last meal n this planet. But bks! They are an entirely different matter. Having been prevented frm visiting bkstres and libraries during these days f islatin. I have decided t make changes. After all, didn’t smene nce say, “It’s an ill wind that blws nbdy any gd.”
I imagine slw reading t be like slw cking: a variety f ingredients mixed int smething ne can truly enjy. Slw reading means enjying each sentence, absrbing all f thse paragraphs f descriptin that had prbably been sweated ver by the authr and, mre ften than nt, skipped ver by readers like me.
This isn’t t say I pay nly randm attentin t a bk. Befre deciding n ne t buy r brrw, I always read the synpsis and the “Abut the Authr” sectin. I wuld als read the dedicatin, the frewrd and the authr’s acknwledgments. Only then d I mve n t the bk’s pening sentence. This is essentially hw I had selected the tw bks that I mst recently finished.
In rder t truly enjy these tw nvels, I ratined my reading t tw hurs a day-n mre and n less. A funny thing happens when yu take tw hurs ut f the day - every day – fr smething yu really, really enjy. I experienced a quiet sense f accmplishment that I had missed fr years.
English writer Kate Atkinsn’s Transcriptin has been advertised as “a nvel f rare depth frm ne f the best writers f ur time.” Award-winning Newfundler Michael Crummey’s The Inncents, meanwhile, is said t be “a richly imagined and fascinating stry f hardship and survival.” I am glad I didn’t read Transcriptin at my usual pace. I suspect I wuld have missed much f the brilliance f the writing. Instead, I made myself cmpletely invlved in the life f 18-year-ld Julie. I ften paused at the end f a chapter t reread it fr the jy f laughing alud at the herine’ bservatins.
The Inncents is abut the life f tw rphans in an islated bay in Newfundland. It was hard nt t run thrugh this pwerful narrative—but I resisted the temptatin. My patience was rewarded with a deeper understanding f the character and rich descriptin f nrthern Newfundland— s real that I culd almst feel the lichen (地衣) between my tes.
S here I am, tw bks finished that tk me a mnth t read. I have been entertained, enriched and transprted in time and place like I never have befre. Having discvered the jys f taking my time ver a bk nw, I dubt I will ever again annunce prudly, “It nly tk me a day r a cuple f hurs t finish!”
12. Accrding t the article, the authr used t ______.
A. read nvels while gbbling her fd.
B. spend n mre than tw hurs reading every day.
C. cnsider it a waste f time t read fictinal stries.
D finish reading a bk in a day r even a cuple f hurs.
13. The underlined prverb “It’s an ill wind that blws nbdy any gd,” prbably means ______.
A. even the craziest ideas can becme ppular.
B. even the mst ppular ideas can g ut f fashin.
C. even the mst psitive situatins can harm smene.
D. even the mst negative situatins can benefit smene.
14. The authr cmpared reading t cking in rder t illustrate that ______.
A. it is fun t read bk related t fd.
B. it is rewarding t pick up varius types f bks.
C. it is wrthwhile t appreciate the brilliance f every sentence.
D. It is imprtant t read the synpsis befre deciding n a bk t read.
15. While reading The Inncents, the authr ______.
A. imagined herself t be an rphan.

C. read thrugh the descriptive part f the bk quickly.
