Are you planning to escape your busy schedule? Here are some fascinating, newly-appointed national-level

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 the 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

For decades it’s been hoped that seawater could be desalinated ( 淡化 ) to resolve the problem of drinking

water shortage. Yet desalination plants still provide only around one percent of the world’s drinking water. The

progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run.

Energy accounts for one-third to more than half the cost of producing desalinated water.

In Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest producer of desalinated water, the process accounts for up to a fifth of the

nation’s energy consumption. But all this may be changing. A 2020 study found that, globally, the average cost of

desalinated water could more than halve if solar power and battery storage systems were used. Across the world,

there are around 180 facilities currently under construction, or in their design phase, mostly in the Middle East and

North Africa. New sources of renewable energy like solar power mean it’s getting cheaper to power energy-
