The Whizzfizzing Festival

One of the “Home Counties” to the north and west of London, Buckinghamshire is known for the rolling

Chiltern Hills, its pretty villages, and the much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl.

The writer who penned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matildo and The Big Friendly Giant is

the inspiration for the Whizzfizzing festival—which will transform the market-town of Aylesbury into all kinds of

music, colour and fun on Saturday, 1 July.

Formerly known as The Roald Dahl Festival, this year’s event will celebrate a broad range of children’s films

and bring to life some of its best-loved characters—from Alice in Wonderland and the Gruffalo to The Big Friendly

Giant and Harry Potter.

Things to see and do

The festivities start all 11 am with a colourful children’s parade. More than 650 local school children and

teachers, many in fancy dress, will march through the town carrying giant carnival puppets, with thousands of

audiences lining the streets to watch.

The parade will be followed with a range of child-friendly activities and workshops held in main streets across

the town.

Don’t be late for the Mad Hatters Tea Party in the Bucks Country Museum. Catch a splendid screening of a

Roald Dahl movie in the Old Court House, watch leading children’s authors, including Julian Clary, and give

readings in the Market Square.

With hands on arts and crafts workshops, storytelling sessions, live music, a fancy dress competition, street

theatre and more, there is something for everyone.

April 4th was just another day on a Western Australia farm for Zac Mitchell, until it suddenly wasn’t. In an

unexpected accident, the cattle worker was feeding the animals in his charge when one bull cleaned him up and

kicked his hand up against the rail, resulting in the thumb on his right hand being cut off. “My thumb was still

hanging on the rail... when I got up off the ground,” Zac Mitchell says.

His co-workers tried their best to preserve the thumb for reattachment, placing it on ice in a cooler, but two

surgeries to put Mitchell’s thumb back in place failed. That’s when doctors came up with another suggestion:

Remove one of his big toes to where his thumb used to be.

Mitchell’s lead surgeon

Sean Nicklin, understood the man’s dilemma at first, calling it a “bit of a crazy idea”.

After all, Zac Mitchell did not want to be injured in another part of his body. But as the thumb is incredibly

important function-wise, Mitchell eventually gave in. Nicklin explains that the big toe is surprisingly fit for a thumb

switch: Nerves sync up (同步) nicely, and it looks more like a thumb, though a giant one, than any other alternative

they may have come up with. He added that big toes aren’t as necessary for balance and walking as people believe.

As far as the foot goes, occasional “fine balance” activities like surfing might be difficult, but most people without

a big toe function fine in everyday tasks like walking and even competitive sports.

The eight-hour surgery went well, and Mitchell is expected to have a year or so of recovery in front of him

before he heads back into the fields.

A. Recreating a new thumb in place.

B. Replacing the thumb with his toe.

C. Transplanting his co-worker’s thumb.

D. Putting back the cut-off thumb again.

6. What is Mitchell’s first attitude to the doctor’s another suggestion?

A. Optimistic. B. Insignificant.

C. Hesitant. D. Rejective.

7. According to Nicklin, after the surgery Mitchell is able to .

A. surf on the sea B. do daily activities

C. only stay at home D. work on wheelchair

Many people wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and that fruits and vegetables are only grown in the

country. Believe it or not, there are more and more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.

Alexandra Sullivan, a food system researcher in New York City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is

another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens

in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan,

“Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”

The number of humans living in urban areas

or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who want to

garden in urban areas is also rising, Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, they grow fruits,

vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. They use these foods as

supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops,

urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn’t have enough space to

grow enough food for everyone living in it.

In New York City

urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even

though there isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop

vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes

Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.

Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and

restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use

available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban

residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.

8. Which of the following is Ms. Sullivan’s opinion according to the next?

A. The number of people living in cities is increasing slowly.

B. Urban residents still rely on food grown in rural areas completely.

C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.

D. Urban agriculture can provide huge income.

9. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
