广东省深圳市2021年中考英语模拟冲刺试题(一)
Nidhi Arora used to be the HR manager of a large Indian company. After sitting on lots of job interviews, she noticed a serious problem. Today's young people are very clever. They do well in exams. However, they know little about current affairs(时事). This is because they almost never read newspapers.
In Arora's opinion, understanding what is happening around the world is important. It helps young people know what they need to do: What does the world need? Could I create that?
However, there was another problem. The newspapers adults read use difficult language. None could be given to a child. Arora decided to make a four-page paper for kids on her own. With encouragement from many mothers, the Children's Post was born in 2017.
The paper covers a wide number of topics, including international affairs, environment, technology and history. Readers can also find puzzles, poems, short stories and cartoons in the paper. Arora has managed to put together a team of seven editors. The editors decide the content. Sometimes, they ask their readers what they want to read more of and change accordingly. The completed copy then reaches Arora for further edits. She makes sure the facts and grammar are correct and that the language is simple.
Today, the Children's Post is the only daily newspaper for children in India. More than 3,500 copies are sold every day. Arora is always thinking about improving her paper. She hopes every kid in India could develop the habit of reading newspapers.
