of the thousands of editions,published in numerous countries,and dating back to the first issue in February 1922,is always a task we enjoy doing.This collection offers a wide range of different subjects.Each one we hope will inform,delight,amuse and perhaps even confound(使惊讶) our readers:from steppingi nside the French artist PierreAuguste Renoir’s inner circle of friends(‘Renoir’s Invitation To A Party’,page 90),to finding peace from depression in a solitary walkon the beach(‘The Day At The Beach’,page 110) and meeting a cat who held a family together as they began to fall apart(‘A Pretty Good Teacher,For A Cat’,page 22).My favourite article,‘Exploits Of Charles’(page 104),is written by a motherabout the increasingly odd behaviour of a little boy in her young son’s kindergarten class.What a handful this young Charles proves to be.Hispoormother!,she thinks to herself.I’m certain you’ll enjoy this amusing and relatable account of a small boy adjusting to his new classmates and teacher.With an endless supply of wonderful stories,surprising insights and experiencesto share,Reader’sDigest remains a place to find fresh perspectives—and a great read.Happy

seriously.She had been teaching for a long time and I was as afraid of her as anyone,including the boys who were typically naughty in the back row.But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap objects for pranks.One such prop(道具) had two parts:an ink bottle painted to look as though it had overturned,and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a pool.Of all the people I could have tricked,unexpectedly I chose Miss Baugh.At the beginning of the class,I opened her book and placed the props on one of thepages.Then I waited for the fun.When Miss Baugh saw the bottle and the spilledink,she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink with.The trick had succeeded beyond my expectations.But then I suddenly knew I had no control over what would happen next.When Miss Baugh tried to remove the ink with a paper towel,she discovered it was just a piece of black metal.She picked it up,her eyes sweeping the classroom with a deadly gaze.Then came the question:“Who did this?”After some hesitation,I raised my hand.Miss Baugh fixed me with a stare that terrified me,and my classmates.And then,most unexpectedly,she laughed.“Well,it certainly fooled me!” she said.She returned the props to me,and for a few seconds a sweet little aged lady appeared right where Miss Baugh stood.We got back to having a class.But something had changed for me.I began

people?parisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a parison trap.Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read,it’s easy to pare yourself to someone else.Scientists say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other,live happily together and achieve more.Although paring can be good for you,it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a parison trap.This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.Becky GoddardHill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of CreateYourOwnConfidence.She says that parisons can makeus feel good and bad about ourselves.“paring up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and tryharder.However,GoddardHill says,“Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.”“paring down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you.This might make you feel you’re doing well,says GoddardHill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve.If your feelings depend on what other people are doing,“Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” suggests GoddardHill.Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than pare themselves to you.If you follow social media accounts that make you feel you are failing in any way,unfollow them.“Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” shesays.Finally,focus on your own achievements and how you can improve.“The best person you can pete with is yourself,” says GoddardHill.8.How does a parison trap affect us?A.It makes us focus on our own behaviour.B.It stops us from learning from each other.C.It prevents us from living happily together.D.It bases our feelings on others’ achievements.9.What’s true about “paring up” and “paring down”?A.Both of them usually enhance our confidence.B.Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.C.The former is positive while the latter is negative.D.The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad.10.What does GoddardHill suggest?A.Aiming to be our best.B.Trying to be the best.C.Trying to be a cheerleader.D.Valuing someone else’s achievements.11.In which section of the magazine can you find the passage?A.Achievement.B.Entertainment.C.Health.D.Politics.D(2023安徽安庆二模)Homemade biodiesel (生物柴油) helps you speed past the gas station towards fuel independence.Our expert outlines processing used cooking oil in a small DIY plant.If you’re guiding your household towards a more selfsufficient lifestyle,maybe you’d like to add doityourself fuel to your l ist of goals.Biodiesel can be created from waste vegetable oil or animal fats,which you can collect free fromrestaurants,or you can grow soybeans (大豆) to press your own oil.Process the oil with a couple of chemicals to produce homemade fuel that can run any device—including pickups,cars,and home heating systems.First,find a reliable source of raw material.Try sourcing used cooking oil from restaurants,functional food panies.If you’re planning to sell your biodiesel,begin by analyzing the available raw material supply,and make plans to size your operation accordingly.Next,build your plant,sized to your raw material supply.A small family operation can fit in the corner of a garage,within the footprint of a single parking space.Allow enough space for a water heater,a tank for storing your iningfeedstock,and a tank for washing your fuel.For starters aim to line up enough feedstock to meet your family’s fuel requirements.If you’re collecting used cooking oil from restaurants,expect that 20 percent of the material you gather will be water and bits of fried food.Water is not your friend when making biodiesel,so you’ll need to remove it by heating the oil and allowing the contaminants (污染物) to settle to the bottom before you pour the oil of the top.You’ll have to make a plan for getting rid of the oily wastewater.Home biodiesel production is not without risks.Making your own fuel will require great attention to detail and safety.Now you know the basics of how to make biodiesel,but you’ll need to research carefully before you begin production.12.Where
