My daughter is a smart kid, but she’ d never read an entire chapter book for pleasure. She had never developed
any habit of classic deep reading — with two eyes in front of paper, and nothing else going on. When I faced this
truth, it felt like a parenting failure. Even though we’d read many storybooks when she was younger and we lived
in a house stuffed with books, I hadn’t managed to instill（灌输） one of life’s fundamental pleasures in my kid.
As a lifelong reader, I understand how reading enhances the fabric of our experience. Yet my daughter claimed
to dislike reading. I told her reading novels was the best way to learn about how people’s insides work. She said
she could learn more from the people on social media, who were all about spilling their insides. I said books
offered storytelling. She said, “Smartphones.” I said books taught history. She said, “The Internet.”
I could not win our debates, because few of my daughter’s arguments against reading seemed wrong to me.
Yes, reading is a way to discover new worlds — so is the entire Internet. But that’s not why I wanted my daughter
to pick up a book. It was about experiencing a certain magic. You know when an author describes a feeling you
didn’t have, and a hundred lightbulbs go off on the top of your head? I wanted her to have a chance at feeling that.
A screen-based medium can’t create this kind of relationship because, by its nature, the medium must fill in all the
blanks for you. Books leave space for blanks — and for the internal invention they can inspire.
So I decided to cut through all the reasoning with a cold, hard practicality: cash. I told my11 - year - old I
would pay her $100 to read a novel within a month. Of course, she said yes. She finished the book in seven days.
Then she even asked for the sequel（续集） — at no extra charge. Will this lead to her reading “Little Women”?
Will it result in a lifelong habit of reading? I don’t know. What I do know is that I finally opened a new door for her
to the printed page. That feels like the best money I ever spent.
24. What does the “parenting failure” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Failure to get along well with her daughter.
B. Failure to meet her daughter’s emotional needs.
C. Failure to develop a reading habit in her daughter.
D. Failure to provide enough storybooks in the house.
25. Why does the author want her daughter to read books?
A. To help her discover new worlds.
B. To help her fill in all the blanks.
C. To help her spend less time on the Internet.
D. To let her feel a moment of deep connection.
26. How does the author feel about spending $100 to encourage her daughter to read?
A. She regrets spending the money.
B. She is unsure if it will lead to a love of reading.
C. She feels disappointed with the final outcome.
D. She is confident in her daughter’s future choices.
27. What could be a best title for the passage?
A. Creating a Reader: A Mother’s Journey
B. Encouraging Reading: Tips for Children
C. The Magic of Books in a Digital Age
D. The Decline of Reading Among Children
C
People often think that scientific discoveries come from the geniuses like Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein.
Such a view overlooks the efforts of lesser - known pioneers. Also, popular belief holds that the sudden idea is the
key to making scientific breakthroughs, as if it just appears in someone’s mind.
This opinion might be partially true. It doesn’t accurately represent the true nature of scientific breakthroughs.
Apart from, the great figures such as Darwin and Einstein, whose contributions are rightly recognized - we believe
innovation is largely a trial-and-error process, where two steps forward may sometimes come with one step back or
even more steps to the right or left.
Take John Nicholson, a lesser - known scientist from the 1910s. He was a mathematical physicist who
suggested the idea of ‘proto - elements’ in space. By mixing different weights of these atoms, he could recover the
weights of the elements in the periodic table. Though proto - elements don’t actually exist, Nicholson’s wild ideas
led him to propose a new theory about atomic structure. Niels Bohr, the Nobel prize - winning father of modern
atomic theory, later built on this idea to develop his famous model of the atom.
What can we learn from this story? Science is always evolving, similar to the evolution of animal species. Just
random or unexpected changes of ideas may open the door for advances in science. Support for this idea can be
seen in many areas. For example, in US horse racing, the ‘acey - deucy’ stirrup placement, where the rider’ s left
foot is placed lower than the right foot, provides a speed advantage on oval tracks. It was created by a little - known
rider named Jackie Westrope. Had Westrope done careful research to develop this technique? No. He had a leg
