Henry, Like Always
Ienu Bailey, illustrated by Mika Song
When his teacher upsets the regular class routine by placing an unexpected class parade
during the period usually set aside for Share Time, Henry is having none of it. While there's
been a marked increase in books featuring kids on the autism spectrum, few have been early
readers and fewer still are as funny as this one. lt's a masterpiece in conveying an understanding of a
deep frustration that you might not necessarily feel yourself.

I started in the profession of journalism in an age of typewriters and telex machines. The
technology is totally different now but the principles of honest journalism remain the same.
My frst job was at the Bradford Telegraph and Argus （T&A）. The news editor, Don Alred，
taught me how to get the balance between information and entertainment and to respect the
readers, who could always write in to complain.
Later, I went to London Reuters as a trainee, where we had a slang expression — GSIT—
which meant“good story, if true” And it was our job to make sure the stories were true.At
Reuters, four senior editors drilled into us that we were the witnesses of the world. Accuracy and
balance were to journalists what basic hygiene was to medics. So as one of very few women in the
newsroom, I never felt that my gender held me back. Instead, I realised that competence —
“being a good operator”— was all that mattered.
I increasingly learnt subtle things about the craft of journalism. As essential as it was to be
prepared, it was vital to keep an open mind because you never knew what you would fnd when
you went out into the feld. What you found was what you had to report, not what you imagined or
wanted to be true. Once, I went to Stavanger in Norway with a fxed idea in my head: American
oil workers had come to the city to take advantage of the North Sea oil boom. I was convinced
that they would end up raising hell in the area, and, before leaving, sold the story to my editors
with that angle. In reality, it turned out to be the other way round. I had to recast my planned
story. It was a good lesson for me.

Flights are getting bumpier 更颠簸的）as the climate changes, scientists have revealed. And
it is only set to continue or worsen in the coming years.
The study, conducted by scientists at the University of Reading in the U.K.， shows an increase
in clear-air turbulence — unexpected air currents in cloudless air. These invisible currents are
potentially dangerous to aircraft. The researchers said the increases are in line with the effects of
climate change.
Research in the past decade has shown that climate change will increase clear-air turbulence
in the future. We now have evidence suggesting that the increase has already begun，” said
professor Paul Williams, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Reading. We should be
investing in improved turbulence forecasting and detection systems, to prevent the rougher air
from translating into bumpier fights in the coming decades，” he added.
The study focused on one of the world's busiest fight routes over the North Atlantic Ocean.
The results show that it has seen a 55% increase in annual duration of severe turbulence.In
1979, the duration recorded was 17.7 hours. In 2020, it was 27.4 hours. Turbulence increased by
37%， from, 70 hours to 96.1 hours. The increase is due to warmer air from COz emissions.
This increases a sudden change in wind speed or direction in jet streams.

As a kid, I hated having to memorise those long-winded speeches of Macbeth and Hamlet.
Only later did I realise how brilliant Shakespeare was and how knowing his plays gives you a
facility for language and deep insight into human psychology.
Now, 400 years later, in today' s world, quick rewards, and smooth-talking infuencers, the
dishonest characters in Shakespeare's works are still very much alive. For instance, whenever I
see a politician defend himself on TV with righteous indignation（义愤填膺），I remember a line
from the play Hamlet： The Lady doth protest too much, me-thinks. It is spoken in response to
the overacting of a character in the play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle had killed
his father. Today the phrase is commonly used to indicate doubt of someone's sincerity.

短文。
In July, my dad, mom and I few to Whitehorse to care for my sick old grandfather. We
planned to spend two months in the town of my youth.
A few days before we arrived, my grandfather called to say he was being fown to Vancouver
for another operation. My dad and mom had already booked the air tickets and their leave from
work, so even though my grandfather wouldn't be there, we made the trip north anyway.
Grandfather kept a puppy. It was the only companion of my grandfather while we were not
in Whitehorse. He had adopted it from a local shelter （two years earlier and renamed him
“Scruffy” because it looked untidy. Its fur was messy. Its ears were like two wings when it ran.
While we were alone in my grandfather's house with nothing to do, Scruffy saved us. The dog
needed to be walked. Those walks were chances to re-visit where I'd grown up. 1 had left that
small town behind as soon as I fnished high school and had rarely visited home. Scruffy and Itook
my family to the school, where my picture still hung. We walked through the forest where I once
rode my bike. With no one to talk to when my parents were occupied with their own business. I
found myself chatting with Scruffy. He was too excited to see me. I gave him many nicknames：
Scruffster, Scruff-man, Scruffmaster. He would happily respond to them all.
By the fall, we were back in Toronto and my grandfather was back in Whitehorse. My mom
and her brothers took turns fying up to take care of him.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We visited my grandfather again in November.
