The process of making a movie began long before the cameras started rolling. Anyone who works in film can tell you that a lot of work goes on behind the scenes. It leaves many movie fans wondering:
How are movies made?
All movies start as just an idea. Many writers, actors, and directors carry notebooks to write down ideas that come to them during the day. The best ideas grow in their minds until they're big enough to become a film.
Once an idea has had some time to grow, the next step is to write a script(剧本). It breaks up the story into scenes and lays out the action and dialogue for the characters in the story. It is written long before filming starts and guides everyone who works on the movie.
In most cases, the next step is to make a storyboard(剧情梗概图). It helps writers and directors decide what the movie will look like. Many people draw storyboards by hand.
Is it time to film yet? Not quite! It takes many people to make a movie. Before filming, movie makers must find the right people to make a movie. And for big movies, they might need hundreds or even thousands of people.
After everything is in place, it's time to get the cameras rolling. Everyone taken part in the film travels to the chosen location. There, they shoot each scene until they get it just right.
After filming, the job continues. Editors put different footage(连续镜头) together and then add music and anything else needed to complete the film. When they're done, the movie is finally ready for the big screen.
All in all, shooting a film often takes between six and eight months. Film making is a long and difficult process, but it is also full of fun. Do you want to have a try?

Do you know what decides your personality?
In the Chinese lunar calendar there are 12 animal signs. Some people believe that people bom under the same animal sign may have similar personalities. For example, they think that people born in the Year of the Rabbit are more careful, while people born in the Year of the Dragon are very powerful. In Western countries, a year is divided into a cycle of 12 star signs. Your star sign depends on your date of birth. Some people believe that your star sign may decide your personality.
Do animal signs or star signs really tell anything about your personality? No, not really. If you are interested in either animal signs or star signs, read about them just for fun. It is you who shape your life and your future.
How is your personality formed?
Personality includes your thoughts, feelings and behaviors which make you different from other people. How is your personality formed? Most people believe that it is formed by both nature and the environment.

Orion Jean is a 10-year-old boy from Fort Worth, Texas. He is making a difference in the world with his acts of kindness. And these acts may change the lives of people he has helped.
It all began after a student kindness competition last year where he gave encouraging words to share about taking the first step. “Kindness is a virtue (美德) we can all have, if we are willing to,” he said. “So why not start today? Because right now, it’s what we need more than ever.”

Kherri Jean, Orion’s mother, wrote on her Facebook page on July 31 that Orion has already collected over 120,000 books. “Today was one of my favorite days!” she said. We had a ‘Race to Kindness’ free book fair for children and their parents. It was so great seeing kids looking for books they like and taking them home!”
And even if he hasn’t met the goal of 500,000 books, Orion has done far more to put books into the hands of poor children than most. “It’s all about my moral (道德) responsibility to help people,” Orion said. “You know, it’s my responsibility to be able to see these people who need help know that I can help them.”

A study found that 52 of the most common species (物种) of birds in the USA have become smaller in size in the past 38 years. Scientists say species shrink (缩小) in size because of climate change.
This shrinking in size follows a rule called Bergmann’s Rule. The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas, which is because larger animals are able to keep warmer.
As global warming influences the planet, animals now have to make changes to face rising temperatures. Some of them shrink in size. Scientists studied over 70,000 species of birds. They discovered that some birds in North America were shrinking in size. Studies on deer, insects and fish also show the same fact.
What does this mean for these species? First, global warming is happening faster than ever before. So, animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when a species shrinks, other things will get influenced. When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before—this may influence the size of the species population.
It is possible that scientists haven’t yet completely understood how changes in size may influence the ability of animals to live. This shows the bigger problem with climate change—we aren’t always able to predict what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And that is the real danger.
23What happened to some birds in the USA according to the study?
A. They moved to cooler areas. B. They became smaller in size.
C. They died of climate change. D. They didn’t have enough food.
24. Why are animals in cold areas larger than those in warmer areas?
A. Because larger animals are able to keep warmer.
B. Because animals in cold areas can eat more food.
C. Because larger animals love living in cold areas.
D. Because animals in cold areas can grow faster.
25. What may happen if the body of a species gets smaller?
A. The species may move to cold areas.
B. The Earth may become warmer quickly.
C. The species’ population may be smaller.
D. The species may lose their ability to live on.
26. What’s the “real danger” according to the last paragraph?
A. Many species cannot live on the Earth any longer.
B. Humans cannot always predict what will happen.
C. There will be fewer species on the Earth.
D. Global warming is happening faster than ever before.

In just three short years, Rankin High School has built the Red Devils barbecue (烤肉) team that has become one of the most well-known in the state. The team has won $67,000 (433,691 yuan) in scholarships (奖学金) in the State High School BBQ Championships.
However, the million dollar question is: How does each competition work with high school barbecue?
According to the rules of competing, all meat must be provided on the day of the competition. No marinating (腌制), or spicing (加香料) before the official start time is allowed. As for the way of judging, all the foods are supposed to be served in the same dishware (餐具). The teams turn in their foods, which include chicken, pork, beef, beans and a dessert.
“We can’t do much except talk to them in the competition, but practices will include going over the basics and showing the kids how to improve some things.” Robbie McClure, the coach of the team said.
The Red Devils barbecue team has a special way to practice and often uses experiences such as cooking for school board meetings, money-raising activities and at-home sports meetings as a way to get better. They’ve cooked in 18-degree weather and in wind storms.
“Our classroom includes sitting down and talking about it for 20 or 30 minutes and then go out and start something and then come back in and do something else,” McClure said. “They keep notebooks and write down and follow up. If you cook in a snowstorm, you have to cook longer because it takes forever.”
“It’s hard to explain, but I like the experience,” TJ Templeton, who has been a part of the program for all three years said.” It’s something you know for a life-long time. You can use it every day, and it’s just really fun competing with your friends.”
27. What is allowed in the barbecue competition?
A. Talking to coaches. B. Spicing the beans ahead of time.
C. Serving pork in a special dishware. D. Getting beef the day before the competition.
28. Which of the following would McClure probably agree with?
A. Time is money. B. Seeing is believing.
CPractice makes perfect. D. New ways are better than old ones.
29. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about?
A. The key to the Red Devils’ success. B. The way to cook in cold weather.
C. What the students learned from their coach. D. How the practice lessons are organized.
30. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To praise the Red Devils for their performance.
B. To introduce a high school barbecue team to readers.
C. To tell readers of the rules of a special BBQ competition.
D. To encourage students to practice cooking to get scholarships.

World markets
Wherever you go in the world, you find shops and stores—but you can find wonderful markets in most cities, too. Here’s a selection from five different countries.
The Spice Bazaar in Istanbul is popular with both tourists and people from Istanbul. There are lots of shops and stalls and they all sell many different kinds of spices (香料), sweets or nuts. You can buy spices from a lot of countries (like Iran, China, Russia and of course Turkey), and the smells and colors are amazing.
Khlong Lat Phli is a very unusual market about 80 kilometers south of Bangkok, Thailand. Early every morning, hundreds of local people sell fruit and vegetables from their boats on the rivers. It’s not the only boat market in the country but it’s a very popular tourist one.
Tsukiji Market in Tokyo is the biggest seafood market in the world, and it never closes! It’s very busy between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., when people from the shops and restaurants in Tokyo buy the fresh fish that they need for the day. It is also very popular with tourists, but they can only visit the market later in the day, after the early morning buying and selling.
EI Rastro in Madrid is a famous open-air market. It is open on Sunday mornings. There are over 1,000 stalls that sell many different things: books, CDs, paintings, antiques—beautiful old things. One of the streets sells only animals and birds. And of course visitors can stop to eat “tapas” and get something to drink, and there are many street musicians with their guitars making music too.
Portobello Road Market in London is popular with tourists and with Londoners, too. You can find all kinds of bargains (讨价还价) here. The market (in Noting Hill) has five different parts and you can buy new or second-hand things (like clothes) as well as fruit and vegetables, and antiques. It’s very busy at the weekend.
1．Where is the biggest seafood market around the world?
A．In Tokyo. B．In Istanbul. C．In Madrid. D．In London.
2．Which is probably the picture of Khlong Lat Phli?
A． B． C． D．
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Devon Tyrie, 18, from the US, has been accepted by Middlebury College in Vermont. She has to make a decision: if she goes straight to college, her first year may be far from the traditional experience—if she takes a gap (间隔) year, her activities will probably be limited (限制).
Taking a gap year between high school and university is common in many parts of Europe, Australia, and the UK. In the US, people didn’t pay much attention to the idea until Barack Obama’s daughter took a gap year before going to Harvard University. Some people pointed out that the gap year was often for the rich. However, it is becoming popular among common people now.
In a recent study, it was found that one in five university applicants (申请人) in the UK had changed their mind about university attendance—whether their favorite university being changed or choosing a place to take a gap year. In the US a study found that 17% of students had changed their college plans because of COVID-19. Of those students, 16% said they would like to take a gap year, while 17% said they would like to wait until the spring semester (which will start in January 2021) to attend university. And one third said they would enter university on a part-time way.
It’s far from being an easy decision. “The good news is there is no wrong decision. The bad news is there is no right decision either,” says Michelle Dittmer, president and co-founder of the Canadian Gap Year Association.
4．How does the writer lead into the topic?
A．By giving an example. B．By comparing with others.
C．By showing some numbers. D．By carrying out a study.
5．What do we know about taking a gap year in the second paragraph?
A．European students don’t like it.
B．People spend too much money on it.
C．Obama ordered his daughter to take a gap year.
D．It was not very popular in the US in the beginning.
6．If 10,000 students took part in the study in the US, how many of them would like to enter college in January 2021?
A．1,700 B．1,600. C．About 500. D．Nearly 300.
7．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．The importance of making a decision.
B．The popularity of taking a gap year.
C．A good decision or a bad one.
D．To take a gap year or not?
How nice are you? Do you give money to homeless people? Do you offer your seat to someone in need on a bus?
Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low confidence think less of their good sides. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.
The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population.
In the study, Freeman first asked some people to value their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “Have you ever donated (捐赠) blood?”. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood.
In another study from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.
So, why do we think we’re nicer than we actually are? There are many theories (理论). A popular one says we unconsciously (无意识地) cheat ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.
How can we solve it? Some other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback. Compare others’ opinions toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.
8．What did the new study find?
A．People compare others’ opinion to themselves.
B．People with low confidence are mostly not nice.
C．People are not as nice as they think they are.
D．People would like to help others carry bags.
9．Which of the following about Freeman’s study is NOT true?
A．Freeman is a British university professor.
B．About 98 percent of British people think they’re nice people.
C．The people answered some questions about niceness.
D．One fourth of the people helped others carry heavy bags.
10．According to the theory, people chose the more attractive pictures of themselves because ________.
A．they were not happy with their looks.
B．it was hard to tell small differences.
C．they lied to themselves without knowing it.
D．they wanted themselves to look good.
11．What does the story mainly talk about?
A．The importance of being a nicer person.
B．Others’ opinions toward you.
C．How to know ourselves well.
D．People’s opinions on their own niceness.
Many teenagers spend their lives studying, playing video games and hanging out with friends—but not Henry Patterson. The 15-year-old boy from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, began his business journey at the age of 9 when he started his children’s brand, Not Before Tea.
The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, which is about a mouse and an owl who run a sweets shop. Patterson began by selling sweets, but he soon brought all the characters in the book to life—through products such as bags and soft toys. Today, the products are sold internationally, and Patterson has just got investment (投资) to grow the brand further. At 12, his business had earned (挣) him 65,000 pounds (566,221 yuan).
In fact, Patterson’s early school years were difficult, which he often described as “fire and ice”. He didn’t agree with what his classmates were like because he saw the world differently and was seldom invited to parties or play dates. He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even lonelier.
But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually became interested in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. To stop his stammer getting worse, he tried to express himself clearly and even developed a love for public speaking, which eventually enabled him to speak on important stages, such as at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers.
Storytelling has been a key element in Patterson’s online business journey. Now at 15, Patterson wrote a business book called Young and Mighty, which describes his search for success and happiness and also covers some of the big issues that young people face: self-esteem (自尊), finding your voice, education and creativity.
He has also set up an online academy (学院) with the same name. It is for children aged 10 to 14, who are starting to think about their future and what inspires them. He believes that passion (激情) is what drives people to achieve extraordinary things. “If you don’t have a passion for what you do and love what you do, you won’t succeed,” he said.
12．What can we know about Not Before Tea?
A．It is a sweets shop in Bedfordshire.
B．Its birth was inspired by a storybook.
C．It is a brand well known around the world.
D．It has earned Patterson 65,000 pounds in total.
13．What probably happened to Patterson during his early school years?
A．He tried hard to fit in at school. B．He went to a lot of parties.
C．He had difficulty writing stories. D．He wrote a business book.
14．Which of the following best describes Patterson?
A．Brave and hardworking. B．Creative and strong-minded.
C．Humorous and talented. D．Honest and helpful.
15．What would Patterson probably agree with according to the text?
A．Storytelling ability is key to business success.
B．People should plan for their future as early as possible.
C．Success cannot be achieved without passion.
D．Passion decides whether a person can be excellent.

The process of making a movie began long before the cameras started rolling. Anyone who works in film can tell you that a lot of work goes on behind the scenes. It leaves many movie fans wondering:
How are movies made?
All movies start as just an idea. Many writers, actors, and directors carry notebooks to write down ideas that come to them during the day. The best ideas grow in their minds until they're big enough to become a film.
Once an idea has had some time to grow, the next step is to write a script(剧本). It breaks up the story into scenes and lays out the action and dialogue for the characters in the story. It is written long before filming starts and guides everyone who works on the movie.
In most cases, the next step is to make a storyboard(剧情梗概图). It helps writers and directors decide what the movie will look like. Many people draw storyboards by hand.
Is it time to film yet? Not quite! It takes many people to make a movie. Before filming, movie makers must find the right people to make a movie. And for big movies, they might need hundreds or even thousands of people.
After everything is in place, it's time to get the cameras rolling. Everyone taken part in the film travels to the chosen location. There, they shoot each scene until they get it just right.
After filming, the job continues. Editors put different footage(连续镜头) together and then add music and anything else needed to complete the film. When they're done, the movie is finally ready for the big screen.
All in all, shooting a film often takes between six and eight months. Film making is a long and difficult process, but it is also full of fun. Do you want to have a try?

In Western countries, a year is divided into a cycle of 12 star signs. Your star sign depends on your date of birth. Some people believe that your star sign may decide your personality.
Do animal signs or star signs really tell anything about your personality? No, not really. If you are interested in either animal signs or star signs, read about them just for fun. It is you who shape your life and your future.

Personality includes your thoughts, feelings and behaviors which make you different from other people. How is your personality formed? Most people believe that it is formed by both nature and the environment.

And even if he hasn’t met the goal of 500,000 books, Orion has done far more to put books into the hands of poor children than most. “It’s all about my moral (道德) responsibility to help people,” Orion said. “You know, it’s my responsibility to be able to see these people who need help know that I can help them.”

A study found that 52 of the most common species (物种) of birds in the USA have become smaller in size in the past 38 years. Scientists say species shrink (缩小) in size because of climate change.
This shrinking in size follows a rule called Bergmann’s Rule. The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas, which is because larger animals are able to keep warmer.
As global warming influences the planet, animals now have to make changes to face rising temperatures. Some of them shrink in size. Scientists studied over 70,000 species of birds. They discovered that some birds in North America were shrinking in size. Studies on deer, insects and fish also show the same fact.
What does this mean for these species? First, global warming is happening faster than ever before. So, animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when a species shrinks, other things will get influenced. When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before—this may influence the size of the species population.
It is possible that scientists haven’t yet completely understood how changes in size may influence the ability of animals to live. This shows the bigger problem with climate change—we aren’t always able to predict what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And that is the real danger.
23What happened to some birds in the USA according to the study?
A. They moved to cooler areas. B. They became smaller in size.
C. They died of climate change. D. They didn’t have enough food.
24. Why are animals in cold areas larger than those in warmer areas?
A. Because larger animals are able to keep warmer.
B. Because animals in cold areas can eat more food.
C. Because larger animals love living in cold areas.
D. Because animals in cold areas can grow faster.
25. What may happen if the body of a species gets smaller?
A. The species may move to cold areas.
B. The Earth may become warmer quickly.
C. The species’ population may be smaller.
D. The species may lose their ability to live on.
26. What’s the “real danger” according to the last paragraph?
A. Many species cannot live on the Earth any longer.
B. Humans cannot always predict what will happen.
C. There will be fewer species on the Earth.
D. Global warming is happening faster than ever before.

In just three short years, Rankin High School has built the Red Devils barbecue (烤肉) team that has become one of the most well-known in the state. The team has won $67,000 (433,691 yuan) in scholarships (奖学金) in the State High School BBQ Championships.
However, the million dollar question is: How does each competition work with high school barbecue?
According to the rules of competing, all meat must be provided on the day of the competition. No marinating (腌制), or spicing (加香料) before the official start time is allowed. As for the way of judging, all the foods are supposed to be served in the same dishware (餐具). The teams turn in their foods, which include chicken, pork, beef, beans and a dessert.
“We can’t do much except talk to them in the competition, but practices will include going over the basics and showing the kids how to improve some things.” Robbie McClure, the coach of the team said.
The Red Devils barbecue team has a special way to practice and often uses experiences such as cooking for school board meetings, money-raising activities and at-home sports meetings as a way to get better. They’ve cooked in 18-degree weather and in wind storms.
“Our classroom includes sitting down and talking about it for 20 or 30 minutes and then go out and start something and then come back in and do something else,” McClure said. “They keep notebooks and write down and follow up. If you cook in a snowstorm, you have to cook longer because it takes forever.”
“It’s hard to explain, but I like the experience,” TJ Templeton, who has been a part of the program for all three years said.” It’s something you know for a life-long time. You can use it every day, and it’s just really fun competing with your friends.”
27. What is allowed in the barbecue competition?

World markets
Wherever you go in the world, you find shops and stores—but you can find wonderful markets in most cities, too. Here’s a selection from five different countries.
The Spice Bazaar in Istanbul is popular with both tourists and people from Istanbul. There are lots of shops and stalls and they all sell many different kinds of spices (香料), sweets or nuts. You can buy spices from a lot of countries (like Iran, China, Russia and of course Turkey), and the smells and colors are amazing.
Khlong Lat Phli is a very unusual market about 80 kilometers south of Bangkok, Thailand. Early every morning, hundreds of local people sell fruit and vegetables from their boats on the rivers. It’s not the only boat market in the country but it’s a very popular tourist one.
Tsukiji Market in Tokyo is the biggest seafood market in the world, and it never closes! It’s very busy between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., when people from the shops and restaurants in Tokyo buy the fresh fish that they need for the day. It is also very popular with tourists, but they can only visit the market later in the day, after the early morning buying and selling.
EI Rastro in Madrid is a famous open-air market. It is open on Sunday mornings. There are over 1,000 stalls that sell many different things: books, CDs, paintings, antiques—beautiful old things. One of the streets sells only animals and birds. And of course visitors can stop to eat “tapas” and get something to drink, and there are many street musicians with their guitars making music too.
Portobello Road Market in London is popular with tourists and with Londoners, too. You can find all kinds of bargains (讨价还价) here. The market (in Noting Hill) has five different parts and you can buy new or second-hand things (like clothes) as well as fruit and vegetables, and antiques. It’s very busy at the weekend.

Devon Tyrie, 18, from the US, has been accepted by Middlebury College in Vermont. She has to make a decision: if she goes straight to college, her first year may be far from the traditional experience—if she takes a gap (间隔) year, her activities will probably be limited (限制).
Taking a gap year between high school and university is common in many parts of Europe, Australia, and the UK. In the US, people didn’t pay much attention to the idea until Barack Obama’s daughter took a gap year before going to Harvard University. Some people pointed out that the gap year was often for the rich. However, it is becoming popular among common people now.
In a recent study, it was found that one in five university applicants (申请人) in the UK had changed their mind about university attendance—whether their favorite university being changed or choosing a place to take a gap year. In the US a study found that 17% of students had changed their college plans because of COVID-19. Of those students, 16% said they would like to take a gap year, while 17% said they would like to wait until the spring semester (which will start in January 2021) to attend university. And one third said they would enter university on a part-time way.
It’s far from being an easy decision. “The good news is there is no wrong decision. The bad news is there is no right decision either,” says Michelle Dittmer, president and co-founder of the Canadian Gap Year Association.
4．How does the writer lead into the topic?
A．By giving an example. B．By comparing with others.
C．By showing some numbers. D．By carrying out a study.
5．What do we know about taking a gap year in the second paragraph?
A．European students don’t like it.
B．People spend too much money on it.
C．Obama ordered his daughter to take a gap year.
D．It was not very popular in the US in the beginning.
6．If 10,000 students took part in the study in the US, how many of them would like to enter college in January 2021?
A．1,700 B．1,600. C．About 500. D．Nearly 300.
7．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．The importance of making a decision.
B．The popularity of taking a gap year.
C．A good decision or a bad one.
D．To take a gap year or not?
How nice are you? Do you give money to homeless people? Do you offer your seat to someone in need on a bus?
Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low confidence think less of their good sides. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.
The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population.
In the study, Freeman first asked some people to value their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “Have you ever donated (捐赠) blood?”. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood.
In another study from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.
So, why do we think we’re nicer than we actually are? There are many theories (理论). A popular one says we unconsciously (无意识地) cheat ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.
How can we solve it? Some other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback. Compare others’ opinions toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.
8．What did the new study find?
A．People compare others’ opinion to themselves.
B．People with low confidence are mostly not nice.
C．People are not as nice as they think they are.
D．People would like to help others carry bags.
9．Which of the following about Freeman’s study is NOT true?
A．Freeman is a British university professor.
B．About 98 percent of British people think they’re nice people.
C．The people answered some questions about niceness.
D．One fourth of the people helped others carry heavy bags.
10．According to the theory, people chose the more attractive pictures of themselves because ________.
A．they were not happy with their looks.
B．it was hard to tell small differences.
C．they lied to themselves without knowing it.
D．they wanted themselves to look good.
11．What does the story mainly talk about?
A．The importance of being a nicer person.
B．Others’ opinions toward you.
C．How to know ourselves well.
D．People’s opinions on their own niceness.
Many teenagers spend their lives studying, playing video games and hanging out with friends—but not Henry Patterson. The 15-year-old boy from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, began his business journey at the age of 9 when he started his children’s brand, Not Before Tea.
The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, which is about a mouse and an owl who run a sweets shop. Patterson began by selling sweets, but he soon brought all the characters in the book to life—through products such as bags and soft toys. Today, the products are sold internationally, and Patterson has just got investment (投资) to grow the brand further. At 12, his business had earned (挣) him 65,000 pounds (566,221 yuan).
In fact, Patterson’s early school years were difficult, which he often described as “fire and ice”. He didn’t agree with what his classmates were like because he saw the world differently and was seldom invited to parties or play dates. He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even lonelier.
But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually became interested in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. To stop his stammer getting worse, he tried to express himself clearly and even developed a love for public speaking, which eventually enabled him to speak on important stages, such as at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers.
Storytelling has been a key element in Patterson’s online business journey. Now at 15, Patterson wrote a business book called Young and Mighty, which describes his search for success and happiness and also covers some of the big issues that young people face: self-esteem (自尊), finding your voice, education and creativity.
He has also set up an online academy (学院) with the same name. It is for children aged 10 to 14, who are starting to think about their future and what inspires them. He believes that passion (激情) is what drives people to achieve extraordinary things. “If you don’t have a passion for what you do and love what you do, you won’t succeed,” he said.
12．What can we know about Not Before Tea?
A．It is a sweets shop in Bedfordshire.
B．Its birth was inspired by a storybook.
C．It is a brand well known around the world.
D．It has earned Patterson 65,000 pounds in total.
13．What probably happened to Patterson during his early school years?
A．He tried hard to fit in at school. B．He went to a lot of parties.
C．He had difficulty writing stories. D．He wrote a business book.
14．Which of the following best describes Patterson?
A．Brave and hardworking. B．Creative and strong-minded.
C．Humorous and talented. D．Honest and helpful.
15．What would Patterson probably agree with according to the text?
A．Storytelling ability is key to business success.
B．People should plan for their future as early as possible.
C．Success cannot be achieved without passion.
D．Passion decides whether a person can be excellent.
