Kyra Peralte thought keeping a diary during the pandemic (

流行病

) might help her sort out her

feelings. In April 2020, the mother of two in Montclair, New Jersey, now 46, started writing about

the challenges of work, marriage and motherhood during a global crisis. She invited women from

near and far to fill the notebook with their own pandemic named the project The Traveling

Diary.

Peralte created a website for people to add their names to the queue. Each person gets to keep the

diary for three days and fill as many pages as she wishes. Then she is responsible for mailing it to

the next person, whose address Peralte provides. So far, more than 2, 000 women from 30 countries

have joined in.

The diary reached Colleen Martin in Florham Park, New Jersey, in November 2020. “I had just

recently lost my brother. By the time I actually got it and wrote in it, it was much more of a relief,”

she says. Adding to the diary, she says, helped her look for meaning and “the growth and

development that occurs in terrible times.”

Martin shipped off the diary to the next person, and Dior Sarr, 35, received it at her home in Toronto

just before the new year. “I wrote about my ambitions(

抱负

), my goals and how I wanted to step

into the new year, ” she says, “It felt meaningful to pass on something so personal. It felt like these

were women that I had known even though I didn’t know them at all.”

Like many of the women who wrote in her diary, Peralte feels a strong bond with the people who

filled its pages, none of whom she would have otherwise known. Her idea, Peralte says, has had a

great effect on her and, she hopes, the other women who were part of it.

4. Why did Peralte start the project “The Traveling Diary”?

A

B

．

C

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

As the coronavirus (

冠状病毒

) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public

transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not

be surprising that the pandemic (

疫情

) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.

In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand

for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its

biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He

compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the

pandemic.

B

．

Competition.

D

．

Need.

The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the

growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to

ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than

what they see at Christmas time.

Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may

take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many

bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand

began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200

percent in the US.

Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased

sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to

rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good

will happen.”

8. What causes the increase in bicycle sales?

A

．

Shortage of public transportation.

B

．

Outbreak of the coronavirus.

C

．

People’s desire to defeat disease.

D

．

People’s fear of natural disasters.

9. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy?

A

．

More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.

B

．

“Family-style” bicycles are in great need.

C

．

Cars are banned from some central roads.

D

．

New bicycle paths have been built.

10. What can we know from Paragraph 4?

A

．

It’s impossible to buy a bike.

B

．

Bike factories were closed in April.

C

．

High demand for bikes began in March.

D

．

It takes many months to produce a bike.

11. What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles?

A

．

Doubtful.

Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in

reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more

positive attitude toward reading.

B

．

Positive. C

．

Uncertain. D

．

Critical.

There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with

their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping

girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently

than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.

So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading?

To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys

with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly”

books that boys supposedly “prefer” These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many

people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.

But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to

choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken

belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and

demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.

Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys

with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their

interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular

discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.

Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling.

Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they

often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote

reading.

In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely

to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime

by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.

12. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading

ability?

A

．

Social factors.

B

．

Teaching methods.

C

．

Personal preferences.

D

．

Psychological differences.

13. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?

A

．

To persuade boys to read more often.

B

．

To learn what boys are most interested in.

C

．

To help boys improve their language ability.

D

．

To show that adults are good reading role models.

14. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?
