When I was a kid，if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy（讀寫能力）foundation，I would have laughed and kept walking.Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book，My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World，I shake my head，not quite believing that book has my name on it.But the truth is，this story comes from my own personal experience.
    It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice.In Valdosta，GA.，where I grew up，my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me：being an athlete and being an entertainer.I was no different than the other kids，so I did what felt natural：Play football and overlook school.School presented challenges every day and so did football practice，but overcoming physical adversity was on trend with my neighborhood's culture.Reading books not so much.
    Fortunately，I went to college.That's where my reading struggles really appeared.Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food.I would misread labels and grab the wrong items.Once，I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices.I didn't notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake.I realized that I needed to make an important decision.If I wanted to be a better version of me，I had to become a stronger reader.
    I joined a book club and read every free moment I had.My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading.So I started a nonprofit，Share the Magic Foundation，trying to transform the lives of children living in undeserved communities through literacy.

1．Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family.When she was young，she took lessons in music and drawing，and read great books.She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.

2．Hunter ran his first 30 kilometres.It was not easy for him，but he made it.Months earlier，he wasn't in any condition to run five miles，let alone 18.6 miles，the distance of a 30 kilometres.
   One day，early in the morning，my wife Lisa discovered that our older son，Hunter，had been playing video games since he got home from school the previous day.What she found angered both of us.
   We were sick of the amount of time Hunter spent playing video games.He would often sleep until 2：00 p.m.on Saturdays because he stayed up playing games until 3：00 in the morning.
   Driven to break our son's life style，we tried several different approaches，like limiting the amount of time he was allowed to play games each day，but we couldn't find anything that worked consistently.He always seemed to go back to the game，especially when we were not there to monitor him.
   It's not that I'm against video games；I am just against playing them every waking moment at the expense of exercise.In an attempt to ensure that our kids did not become addicted to games，I came up with an idea：Game time in our house would have to be earned，just like money.Each mile run equals 30 minutes of video-game play.We put no limit on the number of miles Hunter could run in a day，so the only limit to the amount of time he played was based on how far he decided to run.The first couple of days didn't go very well.Hunter got sick of the idea and refused to run at all.Eventually，Hunter decided he would give running a shot.
   It never occurred to him that running was giving him a sense of purpose.Hunter even planned to join a marathon and hoped to become the youngest family member to complete one.It was my hope that running teaches him to invest his time in worthwhile causes，not just video games.I never want him to stop challenging himself.

（1）What do we know about Hunter？

A．He was dishonest.
B．He was academic.
C．He was lazy.
D．He was a video game addict.
（2）What's the author's attitude towards video games？

A．Indifferent.
B．Objective.
C．Favorable.
D．Opposed.
（3）How did Hunter like running in the end？

A．It was meaningful.
B．It was tiring.
C．It was boring.
D．It was skillful.
（4）What is the best title for the text？

A．To Run or Not
B．An Ambitious Runner
C．From the Screen to Running
D．The Benefits of Running

3．I'm in the area of Noailles in Marseille，F(xiàn)rance's second largest city and its main trade seaport.Some small shops sell vegetables，meat，and，it seems，all the spices of the Middle East.In addition to French，languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French.It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.
   Close to the downtown street，I discover an Algerian restaurant，whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley，not the usual wheat，using a recipe that hasn't changed since the 1920s.Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture.The dish was added to the UNESCO's Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.
   To be honest，before I travelled here，couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille.It was bouillabaisse，the rich soup with olive oil，garlic and saffron.I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe.This was clearly a romantic fantasy.For one thing，there are no small cafcs at historic city.For another，the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse，but when I see the price at one place I am shocked：69 euros!No bowl of soup should cost that much.
   I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant，Ourea.For 28 euros，Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.
   More and more young，talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live.There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year.Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities，the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.
   Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille.I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods- together，side，by，side，but not mixed.They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.

（1）Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph？

A．Remote.
B．Commercial.
C．Industrial.
D．Inland.
（2）What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant？

A．The unreasonable charge.
B．The unbearable flavor.
C．The unsatisfying service.
D．The noisy atmosphere.
（3）Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities？

A．To make a fortune.
B．To experience a dish.
C．To learn a language.
D．To live a leisurely life.
（4）In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text？

A．Fashion.
B．Food.
C．Trade
D．Travel.
