seems, is coming back into 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 its a good time to launch a competition that includes a load of new books for schools as prizes. the childrens bookshow competition, backed by the independent, is taking to the roads again from the start of next term, with a nationwide tour of 15 big cities, featuring a lineup of a dozen childrens writers and illustrators(插图画家) aiming to persuade pupils to follow their footsteps.the competition, launched by the childrens writer and illustrator jessica souhami, has two categories: the undernines and nine to 13yearolds.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 writingswhether it is set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. the closing date for the competition is november 30.“tell your tale in pictures and in words，”says 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 years tour, plus 150 worth of books for their schools. the runnersup will receive a signed copy of souhamis new book.25what can we know about the bookshow competition?ait will be held by the famous nlt.bit will be held in different cities.cit has never been organized before.dchildren of all ages will join

competitioncpromote childrens books by famous writersdintroduce a bookshow competition to childrencmostly, only a single answer is correct to a question. but there is one question that has numberless correct answers. that question is “whats your name？” everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.have you ever wondered about peoples names? where do they come from? what do they mean?peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. sometimes the name of a grandparent or other members of the family is used. some parents choose the name of a wellknown person. a boy could be named george washington smith; a girl could be named helen keller jones.some people give their children names that mean good things. clara means“bright”； beatrice means“one who gives happiness”； donald means“world ruler”； leonard means“as brave as a lion”the earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. a family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near a brook; someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. the greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.other early surnames came from peoples occupations. the most common occupational name is smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. in the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. some other occupational names are: cartera person who owns or drives a cart; pottera person who makes pots and pans.the ancestors of the baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. the carpenters greatgreatgreatgrandfather probably built houses and furniture.sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. when there were two men who were named john in the same village, the john with the gray hair probably became john gray. or the john who was very tall could call himself john tallman. john fish was probably an excellent swimmer and john lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. englishspeaking people added s or son. the johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robert. irish and scottish people added mac or mc or o. perhaps all of the macdonnells and the mcdonnells and the odonnells are descendants of the same donnell.29which of the following is not covered in the surnames of the passage?apeoples characters.bpeoples occupations.cplaces where people lived.dtalents that people possessed.30according to the passage, the ancestors of the potter family most probably_.aowned or drove a cartbmade things with metalscbuilt houses and furnituredmade kitchen tools or containers31suppose an english couple whose
