问答题To begin with, let us try to pin down exactly what publishers mean when they talk about "good writing" for children. A useful starting point would be to take a look at some of the children's books which won literary prizes last year. Reading these books is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways of: (a) finding out what individual publishers are publishing at the moment, and (b) learning a few tricks of the trade from well-established professionals. 61) It goes without saying, of course, that slavishly copying the style and subject matter of a successful author is usually a recipe for disaster. Nor should you become downhearted after reading a particularly brilliant piece of work, and miserably think you will never be able to match up to those standards. 62) Remember, overnight success is rare — most successful children's authors will have struggled long and hard to learn their trade. Read these books as a critic; note down the things you enjoyed or admired, as well as areas where you feel there was possibly room for improvement. After all, nobody is perfect, not even a successful, prize-winning author. Possibly the toughest challenge is right at the youngest end of the age range — the picture book. 63) The would-be author/illustrator is attempting to create an exciting story out of the narrow, limited, everyday world of a young child's experience — not easy at all. The whole storyline has to be strong enough to keep the reader turning the pages, yet simple enough to fit into a few pages. 64) Another problem for the new picture-book author is that it can seem that every subject and every approach has been done to death, with nothing new left to say. Added to this, printing costs are high because of full color illustrations, which means that the publisher will probably want a text that suits the international market to increase sales, and a novel for ten-year olds, with hardly any pictures at all, starts to look much more inviting. So, to return to the question asked at the beginning: What exactly is "good writing" for children? 65) The answer is that it is writing which is fresh, exciting and unpredictable, and which gives a new and original angle on what might be a well- worn subject. But do not be put off if you feel that you simply cannot match up to all these requirements. While there is obviously no substitute for talent, and the ability to come up with suitable ideas, many of the techniques for improving and polishing your manuscript can be learned.

问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Electric Cars are not as Environmentally Friendly as Imagined An Auckland publisher has produced a report that criticises the electric car as being no more environmentally friendly than petrol cars. The 168-page report, entitled The Emperor's New Car, has been written by Clive Matthew-Wilson, the editor of the Dog and Lemon Guide for car buyers. He said he spent three years researching the report with the aid of staffers and input from several international experts. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}His conclusion was that the Tesla electric sports car was less efficient and usually more indirectly polluting than a comparable petrol-powered sports car.{{/U}} "Most of Tesla's publicity focuses on the efficiency of its electric motor. What they don't tell you is that its batteries are heavy, inefficient and that Teslas are frequently powered by electricity from highly polluting power stations." He said. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Better results came where renewable electricity was available but such generation was expensive and unlikely to be rolled out in volume in the near future.{{/U}} Matthew-Wilson said he had written the report because he was concerned the car industry was sending a false message that electric cars were environmentally friendly. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}He contends their widespread introduction would be detrimental in a world where coal-generated electricity still dominates.{{/U}} "Claims that electric cars are emissions-free are simply a lie; they merely transfer the pollution from the road to the power station." Matthew said. In four of the five countries surveyed, the Tesla Was less efficient and more polluting than the conventional Lotus Elise. Only in New Zealand, where most electricity was produced by hydroelectric generation, was the Tesla "greener". However, Matthew-Wilson said a New Zealand scientist had recently predicted that if the country's car fleet was replaced with electric cars, it would probably need to build coal power stations to meet the demand. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The report suggests China is likely to be the main beneficiary of the electric car movement.{{/U}} It is likely to be the first country to mass-produce electric cars, but the report says they would be made with environmentally destructive materials in high-polluting factories. Vehicle scientist Chris Coxon, the former technical chairman of the Australian New Car Assessment Program, confirmed the report was scientifically sound. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}He said the electric car had an advantage in traffic jams because the engine shut down and stopped using power.{{/U}}

问答题 1 The atmosphere consists of a number of gases, the most important of which from the point of view of life on Earth is oxygen. It is a by-product of plant metabolism. It is essential to the metabolism of animals, and it also takes part in an important reaction in the stratosphere. The oxygen molecule consists of two atoms of oxygen-written as O 2 . In the stratosphere the ultraviolet rays of the sun can break the molecule down into individual atoms—O and O. 2 These atoms are unstable and can attach themselves to other oxygen molecules to form molecules of ozone oxygen with three atoms of oxygen—O3. Under the influence of radiation from another part of the ultraviolet spectrum the molecules of ozone can break down and unite with more free oxygen atoms to form oxygen molecules again—O 3 unites with O to produce O 2 and O 2 . As a result there is a layer in the atmosphere where ozone is continually produced and destroyed. 3 This ozone layer lies between 15 and 50 km above the ground—with the greatest concentration at about 23km—and is estimated to contain about 5 billion tonnes of ozone at one time. All this activity absorbs the energy of the ultraviolet light and prevents it from reaching the ground, which is a good thing as certain wavebands of ultraviolet light can cause cancers, cataracts, and decreases in crop yields. 4 The presence of certain other molecules, particularly of chlorine, influences the speed of these reactions—usually increasing the speed of the breakdown of the ozone. This is very noticeable in springtime in the Antarctic when chorine from pollutants in released from the icy winter clouds. 5 The ozone concentration is reduced here, and the still conditions cannot bring it in from elsewhere, resulting in the so-called ozone hole. It is believed that much of the chlorine responsible comes from industrial gases such as CFCs, as well as from natural sources such as volcanoes. This is becoming a worldwide problem as a thinning of the ozone layer over Europe was detected early in 1993.

问答题 Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation. "I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to," says Dr. David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest. 22) The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. "The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark." By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. "People cheat on their sleep, and they don't even realize they're doing it," says Dr. David. "They think they're okey because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally vigorous." Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day. 23) Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his programme. 24) "In our society, you're considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours' sleep. If you've got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition." 25) To determine the consequences of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. "We've found that if you're in sleep deficit, performance suffers," says Dr. David, "Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate./
