Welcome to the fascinating world of books! Whether you are a lifelong bookworm or are trying to develop a
love for reading in your little ones, the 2024 Miami Book Fair is for you.
When and Where Is the Fair?
This much-loved South Florida event will be held from May 12 to 18, 2024 at the MDC Wolfson Campus
Plaza in Downtown Miami. During this week-long book feast, you will find a group of events running from
morning to night.
What to Expect at the Fair?
This year, the fair will feature more than 400 celebrated authors from around the world. There will be a rich
collection of writers and their works of nonfiction, romances, children’s literature, and almost every other type

educational tents. Besides, little readers can not only explore arts and crafts, but also experience face painting and
book giveaways.

It wasn’t until I got into college and took a class on creative writing that I began to trust my own madness. The
professor encouraged us to color outside the lines and trust our abilities as a writer. We had weekly sessions where
we read each other’s work and had to give constructive criticism.
On our first assignment, I struggled with getting my ideas onto paper. I knew that kind of story I wanted to tell,
but as a reserved young man, I was terrified of judgement from my peers. I was afraid they would think my writing
was too dark or really messed up. But finally, after spending hours thinking of making the writing more socially
acceptable, I decided to write it like I felt it.
In the next critique session, I was shocked at the reaction from my peers. There was some constructive
criticism, which really helped me improve, but overall, they loved how realistic and convincing my writing was. At
the end of the class, the professor asked me if she could use my assignment as a sample for her other classes to
know that they can trust their own madness with their writing.
For the final we had a huge paper for which we had to write on Henry V. The professor encouraged me to
write it in the voice I had developed in the creative writing class, so I did. The consequence was that she called it a
graduate level paper and asked to use it as another sample.
That year I ended up winning a writing award. I also entered a writing contest online and out of hundreds of
entries, got an honorable mention. And that was when I decided to have a shot at fiction.
4. What does the underlined phrase “color outside the lines” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Stress the words. B. Generate new ideas.
C. Add color to the lines. D. Take risks.
5. What happened with the author’s first assignment?
A. He messed it up. B. He didn’t know how to do it.
C. He felt insecure about it. D. He adjusted it in an acceptable way.
6. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. His peers thought his writing was persuasive.
B. His peers criticized his writing style.
C. The professor asked him to teach others to write.
D. His writing reached graduate level.
7. What was the secret of the author’s success in writing?
A. His persistence in writing. B. Trust in his own madness.
C. His professor’s encouragement. D. Constructive criticism from his peers.

As the climate continues to get warmer, the glaciers（冰川） are melting and the sea levels are rising. As it
affects the land, mountains are taller than before. How does this happen?
Scientists studied the last ice age, which occurred 16,000 years ago when much of Earth’s Northern
Hemisphere was covered in ice. Although the ice melted long ago, Earth’s crust（地壳） is still rising and sinking
in reaction to its previous ice age burden. This movement is called glacial isostatic adjustment（冰川均衡调整）.
Scientists believe that an ice sheet about 800 meters thick could cause a depression about 275 meters deep,
according to the Smithsonian Magazine. “As the ice sheets began to melt around 11,700 years ago, the glaciers
cleared large and heavy masses, allowing the mountains to rise up,” US geologist Mike Kaplan told the Columbia
Climate School website.
Recent studies suggest that land in southeast Alaska is rising at a rate of about 3 centimeters per year. Families
living on the coast welcome this “new” land, according to The New York Times. However, they soon find
themselves in a trap. As the land uplifts and coastal areas move away from the sea, rivers can dry up more easily,
making it harder for them to reach the sea. This could result in a reduction in water resources, affecting animals and
creatures living in the rivers. Researchers are concerned that this may make a challenge to fishermen, as raising fish
in these areas could become more difficult.
While the depression of Earth’s crust springs back slowly, once-uplifted areas are sinking. For example, a
2015 study suggests that the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern coast of the US could sink more than 15 centimeters by
2100. This sinking trend also suggests that these areas may experience more significant impacts from a rise in sea
levels.
8. What can we learn about glacial isostatic adjustment?
A. It mainly happened during the last ice age.
B. It causes the ice sheets to melt.
C. It becomes a burden of the earth.
D. It affects the land’s height above sea level.
9. How do the local people probably feel according to paragraph 4?
A. Concerned. B. Surprised. C. Annoyed. D. Puzzled.
10. What challenge might the Chesapeake Bay face in the future?
A. More serious sea pollution. B. Lower sea level.
C. Increased coastal flooding. D. Rapid land uplift.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change Is Causing Higher Sea Level
B. Melting Glaciers Are Making Mountains Taller
C. Global Warming Is Affecting Ecosystem
D. Glacial Melting Is Picking Up Speed
D
Four-legged robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spo t and Cheetah owe almost all their quickness to fancy
footwork. In biology, however, a four-legged animal’s movement, flexibility, and complex motor functions come
almost entirely from its spine（脊柱）. If artificial spines could be put into such designs, engineers could find
entirely new approaches to accurate mobility.
Now, engineers are reportedly a few steps further towards spine-centric, four-legged bots thanks to a research
team’s rat-inspired robot. NeRmo is a biomimetic and four-legged robot that depends on an innovative motor-
tendon（运动肌腱的） structure to move around environments.
As far as looks go, NeRmo mirrors a mouse’s bone system. The robot’s solid front half houses its electronics
