Women are such amazing beings and if you need a bit of inspiration to keep going, here are stories of inspiring
women who made a mark on history!
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and
Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. These books were released within just four years of
each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on
the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all.
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)
She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving
a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the
Crimean War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women had been allowed to serve in the army.
She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy(遗产) in
healthcare in the war.
Marie Curie (1867-1934)
One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow
scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In 1903, they received a Nobel Prize.
She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on
radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays.
Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her
devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor
people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner
celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata.

Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read.
Ghunta’ s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to
use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept
home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell
his name, but he still couldn't make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students.
Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of
Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’ s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She
had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved
in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult
experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in
which I have carried this memory of her— the hope and the light— with me and how it continues to be a source of
joy,”
4. What caused Ghunta's poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources, B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
5. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister. C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
6. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta's story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person's success. D. A teacher's belief lights a student's path.
C
Sensory-based food education given to 3—5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness
to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children's natural
way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an
active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can
introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can
offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can
also be included in books and games.
The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food
education, while others weren't. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to
choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these
food items.
The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children's willingness to choose vegetables
and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of
lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten
can help even out the dietary gap between families.
“Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating
atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,”
explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health.
Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences
in a direction that is beneficial to health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all
the way to adolescence and adulthood.
8. What is the main focus of the new study?
A. The relation between diet and health. B. The impact of family on food choices.
C. The role of kindergartens in food education. D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education.
9. How did the researchers conduct their research?
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases.
C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data.
10. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update.
11. What's Kähkönen's attitude towards the Sapere method?
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
D
Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo.
They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter,
to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter.
About 98% of a red panda’ s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive— around 2 kilograms each day.
However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’ s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into
the red panda's area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining.
Natural disasters such as landslides, floods, heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitat. Forest
fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering(including the death of the plant) have
similarly had effects on the red panda's habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other
environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat.
