In 2018 we created the Student Podcast Challenge, an opportunity for students all around the US to record their stories and share them with us. This year’s contest will open on the 6th of next month and close on May 2nd. Once again it will be open to students in grades 4 through 12. Is it your first time entering our contest Don’t fret! We’re here to help.
The basics
Students can make a podcast about any topic they’re interested in, as long as they keep it between three to eight minutes. The entries should be purely original work by students. Please keep it clean! No offensive language will be allowed. And students do need to work with an adult to fill out the submission form to enter the contest.
Where to get started
Choosing a good story is just as important as your audio production or editing skills. For example, a favorite entry from last year was a personal story, reporting on a young person’s experience learning to read with dyslexia (阅读障碍) and discussions on everyday topics like school lunch and teen fashion. Again, you can choose any topic you wish to explore.
The selection
Our judges will select a middle school and high school grand prize winner. The grand prize includes a certificate, a trophy, and an interview from NPR. For fourth graders — a new category we created last year — we’ll select the best entries and air some or all of those podcasts on NPR programs. In previous years, our winners also received additional recognition from their schools, and many were interviewed by local media.
Resources
Before you hit the record button, check out our podcasting resources. We cover everything from how to tell a good story, how to sound like yourself on a microphone to how to use music in your podcast.
For more tips and the latest updates on this year’s contest, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at student podcast challenge@npr.org. Students, we can’t wait to hear your stories. Good luck!

Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her extraordinary novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday - the first writer from her country to receive the award.
Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.”
Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.”
When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起义), when government army fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds.
The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising.
“It was like two unsolvable riddles imprinted on my mind: How can humans be so violent, and how can humans be so noble ” she said. “When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means to be human.”
Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her first novel, “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.”
4. What are Han’s novels themed at
A. Political systems. B. Financial struggle. C. Human nature D. Cultural conflicts.
5 What can we learn about Han’s childhood from paragraph 3
A. Father’s success: inspired her. B. Economic difficulty strengthened her.
C. Frequent move destroyed her. D. The habit of reading comforted her.
6. Why does the author mention the Gwangju uprising
A. To indicate the importance of history. B. To show its influence on Han’s writing.
C. To reveal the cruelty of politics. D. To stress its impact on Korean people’s life.
7. What is “The Vegetarian” mainly about
A. A deer. B. A woman. C. A plant. D. A vegetable.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了韩国作家韩江因探讨历史事件和人性脆弱而荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.” (组织该奖项的瑞典文学院常任秘书马茨·马尔姆在斯德哥尔摩的新闻发布会上说，韩江获奖“是因为她激烈的诗歌写作，勇敢地讨论历史事件，暴露了人类生活的脆弱”。)”和倒数第二段中“When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means to be human. (当我写小说时，我发现自己总是回到作为人类意味着什么的主题上。)”可知，韩江的小说主题聚焦于人性。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.” (在2016年接受《纽约时报》采访时，韩女士表示，她的童年经历“对一个小孩子来说太多了，但我还好，因为我被书包围了。”)”可知，书籍成为了她童年时期的慰藉。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising. (她在2016年的采访中说，这件事塑造了她对人类暴力能力的看法。她还回忆起看到人们排队为在起义中受伤的人献血的画面。)”可知，提到光州起义是为了展示这一事件对韩江写作的影响。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.” (在2016年的采访中，韩江说，大约在那个时候，她萌生了写一个关于一个女人变成一株植物的短篇故事的想法，她最终把这个故事写成了《素食者》。)”可知，《素食者》主要是关于一个变成植物的女人的故事。故选B。

Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird“family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker,weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as“rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual.They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2
A. They outsmart crows. B. They are social species.
C. They are rarely spotted. D. They learn from each other.
9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device
A. It can work without wires. B. It can be applied to all birds.
C. It doesn’t come off the birds. D. It doesn’t need to be re-charged.
10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them
A. They couldn’t fly as normal.
B. They were warned by other magpies.
C. They helped each other to remove the trackers.
D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
B. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
C The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了澳大利亚科学家为监测喜鹊，给五只喜鹊安装了新研发的不到1克的追踪器，却被其他喜鹊在三天内拆掉，这或为喜鹊救援行为，实验虽未达目的却有新发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.(它们通常以12只为一群生活在一起，并共同协作来保卫它们所栖息的区域)”可知，澳大利亚喜鹊是群居动物。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.(它被安装在一个类似背包的背带上（无法轻易取下），可以无线充电并无线传输数据)”可知，这种新型追踪设备的最大优点是无需电线即可工作。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.(在安装最后一个追踪器后的 10 分钟内，一只没有追踪器的成年雌鸟试图从一只较年轻的鸟身上取下背带，最终成功了。这种模式在接下来的几个小时内不断重复，到第三天，所有的鸟都没有追踪器了)”可知，当追踪器被安装在喜鹊身上之后，它们相互帮助，把追踪器取了下来。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.(澳大利亚的科学家们原本以为他们已经研发出了一种新的追踪设备，能够帮助他们监测喜鹊的行为，但这些鸟儿却另有打算)”结合文章主要说明了澳大利亚科学家为监测喜鹊，给五只喜鹊安装了新研发的不到1克的追踪器，却被其他喜鹊在三天内拆掉，这或为喜鹊救援行为，实验虽未达目的却有新发现。可知，A选项“喜鹊让科学家们有了一个意想不到的发现”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.
12. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience
A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
13. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors
A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.
C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.
D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.
14. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible.
15. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect
A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures.
C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了本·富兰克林效应。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.(令人惊讶的是，答案是B型这种人性的怪癖被称为本·富兰克林效应。)”和第二段的“Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”(本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)在1736年担任宾夕法尼亚州议会书记员时遇到了这种现象。一个有权有势的成员不喜欢富兰克林，并威胁要让他的生活很痛苦。该怎么办？富兰克林没有用甜言蜜语来说服他，而是问他是否可以借他拥有的一本珍贵的书。这个请求改变了男人的态度，为他们的友谊铺平了道路。富兰克林的结论是：“曾经善待过你的人，会比你所善待的人更愿意为你做另一件事。”)”可推断，作者提到本杰明·富兰克林的经历为了介绍“本杰明·富兰克林效应”的起源。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理学家称之为认知失调。同时持有两种相互矛盾的思想是很难的。这让我们感到不舒服。)” 可知，人们倾向于喜欢寻求帮助的人是因为认知失调，即避免持有矛盾的想法带来的不适。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.(2015年的一项研究发现，更确切地说，这是请求所传达的亲和动机。也就是说，我们人类希望与他人保持良好的关系，而实现这一目标的一种方式就是帮助他人。)”以及下文“We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.(我们喜欢成为有用的人，推而广之，我们喜欢那些给我们这样做机会的人。这是我们的基因。)”可推断，划线词所在句说明人类希望通过帮助他人来保持良好的关系，这解释了无私的行为，因此推断画线词与selfless“无私的”意思相近。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.(然而，我们对本·富兰克林效应还有很多不了解的地方。它在不同文化中都适用吗？有没有一个点，超过了这个点，请求别人帮忙会让你更不讨人喜欢，而不是更讨人喜欢？借书是一回事；向别人借车是另一回事。)”可知，作者认为本·富兰克林效应有情境限制。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文根据“hot”一词的三个含义，介绍了重庆这座城市的三个“热”特征：炎热的天气、辛辣的美食和迷人的女性。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：巧合是，重庆，这座融合了现代摩天大楼和古老传统的城市，正是拥有这三个特点的城市。定语从句修饰先行词the very city，关系词在从句作主语，由the very修饰只能用that。故填that。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：在夏天，重庆可能会非常炎热和潮湿。修饰形容词hot，应用副词extremely。故填extremely。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：温度经常超过37摄氏度（95华氏度），让人感觉像在蒸桑拿。此处需要一个现在分词形式的动词来表示结果，构成结果状语，因此使用“making”。故填making。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：最受欢迎的菜肴之一是火锅。此处为“one of +可数名词复数”。故填dishes。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：它由一锅辛辣的肉汤组成，人们在里面煮新鲜的食材，比如肉和蔬菜。短语consist of表示“由……组成”，故填of。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：它由一锅辛辣的肉汤组成，人们在里面煮新鲜的食材，比如肉和蔬菜。此处meat和vegetables为并列关系，因此使用and。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：和朋友一起吃火锅是一种有趣的体验，食物的温暖与这座城市的精神相匹配。根据上文is可知为一般现在时，主语为the warmth of the food，谓语用三单形式。故填matches。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：最后但并非最不重要的一点是，重庆的特色在于美丽的女性，她们往往自信而迷人。修饰名词presence，应用形容词charming。故填charming。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：你可以看到许多时尚的年轻女性享受着街道和公园，使这个城市更加充满活力。修饰名词young women应用形容词fashionable。故填fashionable。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：重庆炎热的天气、辛辣的食物和热情的人创造了一个独特而令人兴奋的环境。此处需要一个不定冠词来表示“一个独特的和令人振奋的环境”，又因unique的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。

【答案】Dear Peter,
Thank you for seeking our opinions about 60-second Pre-class Speech activity. I’d like to share some suggestions.
Firstly, regarding its content, we’d better include more technology topics, which many classmates find meaningful. Also, allowing telling personal stories might make speeches more engaging. Secondly, for presentation format, maybe students could use simple PowerPoint slides with key words. Visual aids like photos or charts would help listeners understand better. Lastly, could speakers receive brief peer feedback afterwards This could help improve together.
Again, thank you for considering these ideas. I believe our speeches will become more interesting.
Best wishes!
Yours,

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”

On the final day, we presented our brochure in class.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词)
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.

In 2018 we created the Student Podcast Challenge, an opportunity for students all around the US to record their stories and share them with us. This year’s contest will open on the 6th of next month and close on May 2nd. Once again it will be open to students in grades 4 through 12. Is it your first time entering our contest Don’t fret! We’re here to help.
The basics
Students can make a podcast about any topic they’re interested in, as long as they keep it between three to eight minutes. The entries should be purely original work by students. Please keep it clean! No offensive language will be allowed. And students do need to work with an adult to fill out the submission form to enter the contest.
Where to get started
Choosing a good story is just as important as your audio production or editing skills. For example, a favorite entry from last year was a personal story, reporting on a young person’s experience learning to read with dyslexia (阅读障碍) and discussions on everyday topics like school lunch and teen fashion. Again, you can choose any topic you wish to explore.
The selection
Our judges will select a middle school and high school grand prize winner. The grand prize includes a certificate, a trophy, and an interview from NPR. For fourth graders — a new category we created last year — we’ll select the best entries and air some or all of those podcasts on NPR programs. In previous years, our winners also received additional recognition from their schools, and many were interviewed by local media.
Resources
Before you hit the record button, check out our podcasting resources. We cover everything from how to tell a good story, how to sound like yourself on a microphone to how to use music in your podcast.
For more tips and the latest updates on this year’s contest, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at student podcast challenge@npr.org. Students, we can’t wait to hear your stories. Good luck!

Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her extraordinary novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday - the first writer from her country to receive the award.
Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.”
Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.”
When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起义), when government army fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds.
The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising.
“It was like two unsolvable riddles imprinted on my mind: How can humans be so violent, and how can humans be so noble ” she said. “When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means to be human.”
Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her first novel, “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.”
4. What are Han’s novels themed at
A. Political systems. B. Financial struggle. C. Human nature D. Cultural conflicts.
5. What can we learn about Han’s childhood from paragraph 3
A. Father’s success: inspired her. B. Economic difficulty strengthened her.
C. Frequent move destroyed her. D. The habit of reading comforted her.
6. Why does the author mention the Gwangju uprising
A. To indicate the importance of history. B. To show its influence on Han’s writing.
C. To reveal the cruelty of politics. D. To stress its impact on Korean people’s life.
7. What is “The Vegetarian” mainly about
A. A deer. B. A woman. C. A plant. D. A vegetable.
C
Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird“family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker,weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as“rescue behavior” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual.They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2
A. They outsmart crows. B. They are social species.
C. They are rarely spotted. D. They learn from each other.
9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device
A. It can work without wires. B. It can be applied to all birds.
C. It doesn’t come off the birds. D. It doesn’t need to be re-charged.
10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them
A. They couldn’t fly as normal.
B. They were warned by other magpies.
C. They helped each other to remove the trackers.
D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
B. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
C. The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies
D
Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.
12. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience
A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
13. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors
A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”
