National Public Radio （NPR） Music's Tiny Desk Contest is back. Artists can submit an en-

try from this morning. This isn't just another regular year of the Contest-it's the 10th anniversary.

The panel （小组） of judges has doubled in size compared to previous years. The panel has

a group of industry experts who are eager to see what this year's participants can share. And there's

a great team of NPR's Music station hosts on the panel: Amelia Mason, Novena Carmel and Stas

THEE Boss.

Also new this year: Not only will the 2024 winner play a Tiny Desk concert, be interviewed on

All Things Considered and go on tour with NPR Music---they'll also be paired with a tutor in the in-

dustry who will help them navigate their music journey. Our judges are determined to give this

year's winner the support they'll need to take their music to the next level. The winner will also be

featured at two festivals this summer: Celebrate Brooklyn and the Millennium Park Summer Music

series in Chicago.

And for the first time this year, the Contest is introducing a fan favorite vote. Later this spring,

Contest judges will share their favorite entries as part of the annual Tiny Desk-Contest Top Shelf

series on YouTube--and then artists and fans will be able to vote for their favorite among those se-

lections.

Here's how to enter: Record a video of you playing one original song--behind a desk, upload

your video to YouTube, and submit the video on our Tiny Desk Contest website by Feb. 21 at 11:

59 p. m.

A final reminder: Entry videos don't need to be fancy. The Tiny Desk is where artists go to

simplify their big productions. Contest judges are looking for artists to submit something that's true

to them and brand new to the Tiny Desk.

1. Who are most likely among the judges?

A. News station hosts. B. Expert musicians.

C. Contest participants. D. Famous industrialists.

2. What will the winner get as an award?

A. Sightseeing tours. B. Festival souvenirs.

C. Unlimited support. D. Professional guidance.

3. What is required of the contest entry?

A. It has to be a masterpiece. B. It must convey positive feelings.

C. It must be recorded behind a desk. D. It has to be submitted before Feb. 21.

On a bright September day in the French Alps in 2022, John McAvoy was 38 kilometres into a

very exhausting ultramarathon through rough mountain paths. Battling tiredness, he pushed his

body and mind through the final leg of the race. With the finish arch in the famous town of Cha-

monix just four kilometres away and the cloud-topped peak of Mont Blanc high over him, McAvoy

welled up with emotion.

In that moment, he felt so free and alive. It was quite the opposite from where his life had been

a decade before. He had just been released from prison after serving a 10-year sentence.

Now 40 years old, McAvoy has spent the last 10 years rebuilding his life from one of crime to

one with purpose. It was on this day, while running the ultramarathon, that he realized how impact-

ful conquering （征服） this mountain run could be for inner-city kids like him. After all, sport

had helped him live a normal life again and open up his world. It could do the same for others.

With the help of Youth Beyond Borders, McAvoy started the Alpine Run Project, which re-

cently led 12 disadvantaged British young people through their own Mont Blanc races. The partici-

pants, from refugees （难民） to young reformed criminals and those who grew up in Children's

home, were matched with coaches, consultants and physiotherapists. After a six-month training pro-

gram, the youth travelled to the Alps to meet up with McAvoy for their race.

McAvoy says the highlight of this project for him was watching Yasmin Mahamud, a 20-year-

old refugee from Syria, run through the finish arch and into the arms of her new friends. It was a

life-changing high for Mahamud, too--inspiring her to keep running, take up martial arts and go to

university to study physiotherapy.

"It changed my point of view on life, says Mahamud. Pushing herself to complete the race

gave her a brief experience of her own potential through hard work and devotion. "I will always be

thankful to John for giving me this opportunity and guidance.

4. How did McAvoy feel before the finish arch?

A. He felt totally collapsed. B. He was peaceful and hopeful.

C. He was satisfied with his pace. D. He felt as if completely reborn.

5. What can we learn about McAvoy from paragraph 3?

A. He was a builder 10 years ago. B. He realized the importance of sport.

C. He ran to make up for his past wrongs. D. He had sympathy for the inner-city children.

6. Who most probably took part in the Mont Blanc races?

A. A running coach. B. A travel lover. C. A homeless teenager. D. A skilled athlete.

7. What message does McAvoy's story convey?

A. Live for the moment. B. Dream big and climb high.

C. After the storm comes the rainbow. D. Run after the light and become the light.

People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful-- plastics

have on human lives and the environment. As polymer （聚台物） scientists committed to invent-

ing sustainable solutions for real-world problems, we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by

rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right

in.

Everyday items including milk jug, grocery bags, and takeout containers are made from a class

of polymers called polyolefins. These plastics are really durable （耐用的） because the chemical

bonds in those polymers are extremely stable. In a world set up for disposable （一次性的）

items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plas-

tics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conven-

tional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials. which can be challenging with

so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn't require complex tech-

nology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the

occasional mistake.

In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only

two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could

be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single,

long molecule （分子） creates what's called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of

each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials

with properties that covered all polyolefin types.

Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into

their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of

these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several

rounds of chemical recycling. So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the

plastics the world relies on. We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics.

8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning plastics?

A. Their multiple uses. B. Their chemical properties.

C. Their recycling challenges. D. Their classification criteria.

9. A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is ______.

A. mixing building blocks with long molecules

B. integrating chemicals into the two polymers

C. combining two different multiblock polymers

D. adjusting the percentage of the two polymers

10. Which is a feature of multiblock polymers?

A. They are made from sustainable materials.

B. They can be recycled by adding hydrogen.

C. Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics.

D. Their properties change with rounds of recycling.

11. Which of the following might be the best title?

A. Designing for Recycling B. Classifying Plastic Waste

C. Replace Plastics with Polymers D. Technology Creates the Future

Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty. You might

imagine this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates, and to a
