The Children’s Book-show Competition is a chance for young readers to be writers.
Reading it seems, is coming back in fashion, if a survey by the famous National Literacy Trust (the NLT) is true. It shows that the percentage of children who admit enjoying reading has grown for the first time in the past 8 years.
So it’s a good time to launch a competition that includes a shed-load of new books for schools as prizes. The Children’s Book-show Competition, by The Independent, is taking to the roads again from the start of next term, with a nation-wide tour of 15 big cities, featuring a line-up of a dozen children’s writers and illust rators(插图画家)aiming to persuade pupils to follow their footsteps. The competition, launched by the children’s writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami, has two categories: the under-nine’s and nine to 13-year-olds.
Children are asked to choose their favorite fairy or folk tale and set it in an extraordinary place. Then they are to retell it with the aid of drawings and writings-whether it is set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. The closing date for the competition is 30 November.
“Tell your tale in pictures and in words, ” say the organizers of the competition. “It can be in a picture book or comic-book format.”
The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of a book by each of the 12 authors involved in this year’s tour, p lus £150 worth of books for their school. The runners-up will receive a signed copy of Souhami’s new book.

Just finishing loading his car, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen. “I guess filling my thermos(保温瓶) is all I have left to do, and then I’m off.” Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.
With a nostalgic(怀旧的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.
“Oh honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,” I responded, tears in my eyes.
One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, "Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay h ot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would!
He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so. Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.
The lasting memories come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary times Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.

NEW YORK---- Family members gathered on Wednesday evening for the funeral of Eric Garner, who died shortly after police put him in a banned chokehold as they arrested him in Staten Island of New York, where the death has cause anger and a promise to reform police training. Garner’s wife, Esaw Garner, entered the Bethel Baptist Church in Brooklyn, supported by two young boys, looking upset and exhausted. After her followed six children of the family. Garner’s dying moments on a S taten Island sidewalk last Thursday were recorded on by bystanders. Mayor Bill Blasio, who was elected partly because he once promised to mend the worn relations between New York police and the local ethnic minorities, has called the death a tragedy.
In the videos, Garner, who was black, can be seen arguing with several police officers arresting him suspected of selling untaxed cigarettes outside a beauty parlor.
Moments later, he was down on the sidewalk with an officer’s arm around his neck, pleading(恳求) repeatedly that he couldn’t breathe. After he fell down, at least seven minutes passed without any apparent attempts at medical help.
The Staten Island district lawyer and the police department’s internal affairs are investigating Garner’s death.
The city’s police have been banned from using the chokehold for more than 20 years because it can be deadly, particularly when used on someone who is overweight, as Garner was.
Two of the police officers involved have been put on desk duty and four emergency response workers were suspended without pay. Actually, a complete check of police training was started on Tuesday, focusing on the proper use of force.
【文章解读】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了纽约黑人Garner被警方不慎杀害进而引发的呼吁警察训练体制改革的行动，
43. Which one is TRUE about Garner’s death?
A. New York police attached great importance to it.
B. Garner’s wife was too weak to attend the funeral.
C. The police didn’t use chokehold in a correct way.
D. Medical aid was provided immediately to help him.

Researchers may have discovered a perfect material of dieting ----low fat cake and cheese.
British researchers say they have created a protein (蛋白质) that fat perfectly.
The proteins will enable food producers to remove much of the fat used in their products but without reducing product quality.
Funded by team from University of Edinburgh, the researchers have produced the modified (调整了的) proteins that easily break down and therefore work nearly the same as the fats do during food production.
“We’ve paved the way for the development of modified proteins that can be used to produce a wider ranger of appealing low-fat foods,” said Dr. Steve Euston, who led the research.
“The result could be important for health benefits, as well as a reduction in the burden on the National Health Service (NHS) caused by many weight-related health problems.”
Protein-for-fat substitution (替代品) is not a completely new idea, but to date it has been limited to
products such as yogurts.
In cheeses and cakes it has proved less successful in ensuring the original taste and texture fundamental to consumer satisfaction, mainly because proteins could not mimic the behavior of fats closely enough.
By studying the proteins' chemical structure, the team has developed a detailed understanding of how proteins behave when they are heated or go through other food producing processes.
The proteins could encourage development of a wider choice of low-fat foods, helping consumers to eat more healthily and reducing weight-related health problems.
The team has achieved particularly promising results in using proteins to replace eggs, which is commonly used in bakery items.
Such substitution not only cuts fat content; because eggs can be subject to sharp changes in price, it could also cut the cost products and so encourage consumers to eat more healthily.
