World Book Day author A.M.Dassu shares some tips
While helping out at her children's swimming lessons, author A.M.Dassu noticed that one
boy always put on his socks too soon afterwards. He inspired her to write a picture book that she
called Soggy Socks.
Today,many years later,Dassu has published lots of children's books. Every day, after taking
her children to school,Dassu goes to her desk to write."I leave my phone upstairs so I don't get
distracted, and try to write 800 words every day,"she says.Dassu believes that the key to being a
successful writer is not necessarily talent but "getting your bottom on the seat".
The cyclist with far to go
After 527 days,Liam Garner has completed an amazing achievement. He has cycled almost
20,000 miles from Alaska,in the very north of the US,to Ushuaia-the world's southernmost city-in
the South American country of Argentina.Garner,who was17 years old when he set off,said his trip
was inspired by a book he read about a similar journey.
Garner always wanted to have a “big adventure".During his trip,Garner travelled through 14
countries. He camped outside, stayed in hostels or was hosted by local families. He faced some
challenges, including an accident that meant he had to take some time off. However, he recovered
and finally reached his goal of being the youngest person ever to cycle from Alaska to Argentina.

Growing up in the Philippines,construction worker Johnny Manlugay combs the beaches
each night for the eggs of sea turtles. He knows exactly what to look for,as he was trained as a
child by his grandfather on how to locate the animals and their eggs. Back then,his family traded
or ate them. It wasn't about getting rich as much as it was just a part of life.
Manlugay has since turned over a new leaf. Instead,he uses his tracking skills to protect the
sea turtles that visit the beaches he lives by.
“I've learned to love this work,”Manlugay acknowledged in an interview.“We didn't know
poaching(偷猎)was illegal and that we should not eat turtle eggs and meat.”
Manlugay delicately transferred each egg into a bucket he brought with him,as well as some
sand from the turtle nests,to be handed over to Coastal Underwater Resource Management
Actions(CURMA).the group leading the conservation program on the beaches.
Established in 2009,the CURMA conservation effort has gradually transformed sea turtle
poachers into valuable allies( 盟 友 ). They manage this by offering training to ultimately save
thousands of turtles and keep their eggs from ending up everywhere but their nests.
“We talked to the poachers,and it turned out poaching was just another means for them to
earn a living,”explained Carlos Tamayo,the director of operations.“They had no choice.”
On average,sea turtles lay 100 eggs in a nest. The number of nests in the area ranges between
35and 40 each season,which runs from October to February. Tamayo noted that the figures had
doubled during the first year of the COVID pandemic.“Last season alone,for example,we had 75
nests and we released close to 9,000 hatching,”he shared.
Once collected,the eggs are then transferred to CURMA's hatchery( 孵化场)to be reburied in
protected areas. Another former poacher,Jessie Cabagbag,grew up eating turtle meat and eggs like
many people there.“I stopped poaching when we underwent training and were taught that what we
have been doing was illegal and that these species of turtles are endangered,”he explained. Now,he
admits,“I am truly proud. I am happy that I get to contribute to the conservation of the turtles.”
4.Why did Johnny Manlugay hunt turtles as a child?
A.To make a living. B.To make a fortune. C.To protect them. D.To locate them.
5.How does Johnny Manlugayc deal with the turtle eggs nowadays?
A.To sell them.
B.To hatch them.
C.To hand them over to a conservation organization.
D.To bury them under some sand near the turtle nests.
6.On average,how many sea turtle eggs are laid in the area seasonally?
A.About 7500. B.Close to 9.000.
C.From 3500 to 4000. D.Between 3500 and 10000.
7.What's the best title for this passage?
A.Sea Turtles are Well Protected in the Philippines.
B.Local People in the Philippines Search the Beaches for Sea Turtle Eggs.
C.The Conservation Program Aims to Save Endangered Turtles.
D.Former Turtle Egg Poachers in the Philippines Turn Protectors.

Do you often compare yourself to other people? Comparisons can help to make decisions and
motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap.
Whether it's the number of goals you've scored at football or how many books you've read,it's
easy to compare yourself to someone else.Scientists say it's a natural behaviour that helps humans
learn from each other,live happily together and achieve more. Although comparing can be good
for you, it's not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap.This is when
you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be
doing.
Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their
feelings) and author of Create Your Own Confidence.She says that comparisons can make us feel
good and bad about ourselves. "Comparing up"means seeing someone doing better than you and
using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder.However,Goddard-Hill says,"Sometimes
it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence." "Comparing down"is
when you see someone who seems like they're not doing as well as you.This might make you feel
you're doing well,says Goddard-Hill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve.
If your feelings depend on what other people are doing, “Surround yourself with
cheerleaders,” suggests Goddard-Hill. Notice how people make you feel and spend time with
friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you.If you follow social
media accounts that make you feel you are failing in any way, unfollow them."Find ones that
make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,"she says.Finally,focus on your own
achievements and how you can improve.“The best person you can compete with is yourself,"says
Goddard-Hill.
8.How does a comparison trap affect us?
A.It makes us focus on our own behaviour.
B.It stops us from learning from each other.
C.It prevents us from living happily together.
D.It bases our feelings on others' achievements.
9.What's true about"Comparing up"and"Comparing down"?
A.Both of them usually enhance our confidence.
B.Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.
C.The former is positive while the latter is negative.
D.The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad.
10.What does Goddard-Hill suggest?
A.Aiming to be our best. B.Trying to be the best.
C.Trying to be a cheerleader. D. Valuing someone else's achievements.
11.In which section of the magazine can you find the passage?
A.Achievement. B.Entertainment. C.Health. D.Politics.
D
Holding the large and heavy “brick”cellphone he's credited with inventing 50 years
ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.
Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy
Motorola prototype （原型）that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass
sheath where we search，connect,like and buy.
Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue
to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.
