Here are four events that can help your students take their writing to the next level.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
With a wide range of categories—from critical essays to science fiction and fantasy, the Scholastic Awards are
a mainstay of student contests. Each category has its own rules and word counts, so be sure to check out the options
before you decide which one is best for your students.
Students in grades 7-12, aged 13 and up, may begin submitting work in September by uploading to an online
account at Scholastic and connecting to their local region. There are entry fees, but those can be waived(免除) for
students in need.
YoungArts National Arts Competition
This ends soon, but if you have students who are ready to submit, it’s worth it. YoungArts offers a national
competition in the categories of creative nonfiction, novel, play or
script, poetry, short story, and spoken word.
Student winners may receive awards of up to$10,000 as well as the chance to participate in artistic development
with leaders in their fields.
YoungArts accepts submissions in each category through October 13.
National Youth Foundation Programs
Each year, awards are given for Student Book Scholars, Amazing Women, and the “I Matter” Poetry & Art
competition. This is a great chance for kids to express themselves with joy and strength.
The rules, prizes, and deadlines vary, so check out the website for more information.

When tour guide and wildlife photographer Gaurav Ramnarayanan was on a safari jeep with his tourists at
Kaziranga National Park, they heard an alarm call from a deer—the sound an animal makes when it sees a
predator(捕食者). He began driving, turning a corner before stopping the car in its tracks: Around 700 meters
away, there was a tiger on the road. When he looked at the predator through his camera lens: With strawberry-
blonde stripes, the big cat was unmistakably a rare “golden” tiger.
“
The tiger decided to come towards us, not with any intention for attack or any intention to harm us, but purely
to pass through his path and proceed with marking his territory,” says Ramnarayanan. He was able to snap
incredible shots of the tiger as it walked along the road, coming within 100meters of the safari jeep.
Ramnarayanan posted an image online, and Internet users were quick to express their admiration for the
stunning photo and the tiger’s unusual coloring.
But golden tigers are not a subspecies: They’re the result of a genetic mutation(突变) that changes the color of
their fur. And while they are beautiful, their presence has a dark side. Golden tigers, like white and snow- white
tigers, are one result of a recessive trait that appears as a mutation in color-creating gene.
While it’s a unique selling point for visitors, the park is not celebrating; The recessive genes are showing up
due to inbreeding(同系繁殖) within a weakened population. Around 70% of Assam’s 190 tigers reside in
Kaziranga, but rapid development in the region means wildlife is losing its historic migration routes between
habitats.
For photographer Ramnarayanan, Kaziranga’s golden tiger was his first sighting of these unusually colored
big cats. Striking as it was, he’s conscious of the rarity, and hopes he can inspire conversations about how to better
protect wildlife. “As a photographer, I can bring messages out to the public,” he adds.

6.What is the attitude of the park towards more tigers living in this area?

7.What does Gaurav Ramnarayanan hope to do regarding his encounter with the golden tiger?

We may not always notice that we frequently imitate each other in conversation, using similar gestures,
accents, and facial expressions. We also often reuse the words of the people we speak with.
Over time, this form of engagement, known as resonance(共鸣), has increased mostly among people in higher
social grades, including people in leading managerial positions in the corporate world, doctors, university lecturers
and politicians, according to a study led by Dr Vittorio Tantucci, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster
University.
It showed that over a 20-year period people from these sectors changed their behaviour—resonating with one
another significantly more than they used to and moving towards a more engaging style. We talk like others to be
more inclusive and resonate with them.
This might, suggest the researchers, be due to the dramatic change in corporate communication and higher
education in the 2000s, involving an institutional turn towards corporate social responsibility (CSR), and
ideologies(意识形态) such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).
“
This affected not only the system of values of those communities but also their interactional behaviour, now
increasingly moving towards open acknowledgement of other people’ s talk,” said Dr Tantucci. “This increase is
not found in workplaces where these ideologies are not routinely encouraged.”
“
When words and expressions are creatively reused in conversation, speakers are more engaged with each
other’s speech, showing a more inclusive attitude towards what has just been said by the other party,” explains Dr
Tantucci. “They make the other person’s speech sound more important.”
This phenomenon—resonance—has become more obvious across higher social grades of British Society than
in lower ones. This shows a significant change in how British people interact with one another and how this is
reflected in different social classes.

Forests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from
the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But a new study confirms
widespread doubts about the potential for most forests in the Western US to help control climate change.
Published in Earth’s Future, the paper analyzed trends in carbon storage across the American West from 2005
to 2019. Led by Jazlynn Hall, a forest and landscape ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, the team
found that throughout most of the region, climate change and fires may be causing forests to store less carbon, not
more.
“
There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation(减
轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted
to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’ s changing, and how
disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.”
The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years
or decades. “These challenges have the potential to compromise carbon storage capacity and weaken our ability to
mitigate climate change, Hah cautions.
By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels, Hall and colleagues provide a
framework(框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience(复原
力). They also identify the remaining areas with the lowest risk and highest potential to store carbon, such as the
Pacific Northwest.
“
Our study develops new methods to carefully estimate forest-carbon storage at a regional level, track it over
time, and find out the causes of changes over time,” said Hall. He expects the methods will be useful in monitoring
carbon storage levels going forward, as well as assessing the carbon impacts of management efforts such as forest
thinning and planned burning.

2.What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Put down. B.Take in. C.Bring up.
3.Why was the study conducted?
D.Give out.
3
A.To find the best forests for carbon storage.
B.To promote forests’ carbon storage capacity.
C.To assess the current situation of forests.
D.To measure the carbon released into forests.

4.What can we say about the future trend of Western forests?
A.Carbon loss will speed up.
B.They will become more resilient.
C.They will store more carbon.
D.They will have no impact on climate.

5.What is the primary function of Hall’s framework for forest management?
A.Predicting future forest growth rates.
C.Mapping all the forests in the Western US.
