The World-Famous Nine
By Ben Guterson, illustrated by Kristina Kister
Zander’s grandmother owns the most incredible department store in the world. When a string of mysterious
accidents start happening at the store, Zander’s grandmother tells him that a monster called Darkbloom may have
returned. The monster, which can control people, wants a magical object that disappeared from the store decades
ago. Zander notices that walls on many floors contain mysterious symbols and takes them down in his notebook.
Will the 11-year-old boy be able to solve the puzzle and secure the object before Darkbloom does? Packed with
suspense, fascination, and a family drama, this mystery may remind you of a cross between Escape from Mr.
Lemoncello’s Library and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to
work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie,
who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs
riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for
limbs.
Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an
arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She
makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can
celebrate rather than hide.
Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a
combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas.
But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.
“I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg
with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb.
“It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.”
19. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie?
A. She hoped to have a tailored limb.
B. She intended to design a cartoon figure.
C. She longed to expand the market for limbs.
D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas.
20. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______.
A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity
C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business
21. What is the basis for Sophie's works?
A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first.
C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key.
22. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs.
B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs.
C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs.
D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs.
C
People do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.
The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica（虚构的）Greek sculptor.
Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love,
who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought
it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson
examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of
elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be
unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had
no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both
groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in
their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to
“gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.
In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a
teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to
develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to
be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance,
too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.
23. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?
A. A statue of a lady. B. The goddess of love.
C. A character in a literary work. D. The story made up by Pygmalion.
24. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably means
A. worship of B. affection for C. marriage to D. sympathy for
25. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research?
A. To improve the kids’ IQ. B. To pick out gifted students.
C. To expand teachers’ influence. D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.
26. What can students do to make a teacher excellent?
A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.
B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.
C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.
D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.

Livestreaming (直播带货) is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product
demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming
services hosted either by an influencer’s (网红) studio, or an online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term
sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and
performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers
between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better show their products in this way, tell fuller brand
stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials,
improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream
hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid
brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for Internet-based
livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor
regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “turning clicks into cash”, some people
have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity (繁荣). Through the purchase of fake followers to increase
shares and comments, some live streamers can make up their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in
an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the refund
and exchange of products.
27. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming?
A. To achieve as much sales as possible.
B. To focus more on brand marketing.
C. To remove barriers between brands and consumers.
D. To build a bridge between consumers and government
28. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean?
A. Overstating. B. Comparing.
C. Displaying. D. Describing.
29. How do live streamers create false prosperity?
A. By promoting the products as hard as possible.
B. By creating fake comments and shares.
C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms.
D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming?
A. Supportive. B. Objective.
C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
