   “Is anyone coming?” Jade Blossom whispered.

   “How come you guys don't bunt(顶撞) ?”

   “It's only a rumor(传闻) ，” Abuji said as I cleared the table.

Dear Scope readers,

   Those are the first lines of three of my books. As you can see,I often use a line of dialogue to open a story. But here's an example of a first line that isn’t dialogue: Patrick and I became friends because of a vegetable.

   First lines are important. They draw the reader into the story and set the tone. My favorite first lines of books share a quality that I can sum up in one word: intriguing(引人入胜的) .

   Because first lines are so important,I often find them difficult to write. For one of my books,I tried out more than 30 first lines before I found the one that worked best!It was a lot of work,but it was worth it in the end.

   Scope has asked me to contribute a short story. I aid yes — but only if YOU write the first line for me!Send me your idea by November 15 ,2015. I'11 pick the one that I find most intriguing and write the rest of the story,which will appear in an issue this spring.

   I can't wait to see what you come up with!

                                           Good luck and have fun,

                                                 Linda Sue Park 

   WIN BIG!Send your idea for a great first line to Sdope s First-Line Contest. If Linda Sue Park picks YOUR entry to start her story,you will win $50. Plus,we'11 send your teacher a free subscription to Scope,and you and your classmates will each get a copy of Linda Sue Park's beautiful novel A Long Walk to Water.

   We all love watching fireworks,from the attractive shows on the Fourth of July (a national holiday in the US that celebrates the beginning of the United States as a nation) to the Roman candle burning in the backyard. But let's 41 and think about the price we pay for just a few minutes of 42 . 

   First,the amount of money we spend on fireworks is 43 . The excitement is gone 44 . Let's face it,what we really are doing is burning 45 .

   Second,there is the matter of 47 . Fireworks contain chemicals that are harmful to people and animals. Over the years,these chemicals will 48 the air we breathe and the water we drink.

   Fourth,fireworks are 56 . Some fireworks can damage your hearing,especially the fireworks used in public displays that give off a big BANG. Losing your 57 is too high a price to pay.

   58 all the safety warnings,we still see injuries and deaths as a result of fireworks. Approximately 10,000 Americans are injured every year by fireworks.

  In my view,all consumer fireworks should be 59 . Public fireworks displays should be kept to a minimum and should be paid for through volunteer ftmding,not tax dollars. Finally,those people in 60 of fireworks displays should be responsible for cleaning up the mess they make.

   I didn't go to Colorado to ski. I went because I was persuaded to attend a two-day class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.

   Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning,we sat in a small classroom and our instructor,Robert,told us what to expect. The course,he explained,was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us,” Robert assured the class, “you’11 be fine."

   On a snowy day when I was 4,I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day,but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed,I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the half-mile to school in the morning.

   That first morning in Colorado,after we left the classroom and headed out to the track,my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina,it's your turn." I was lightheaded. I carefUlly did what I was instructed to do but when I turned,I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice,my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop,I sat rigid,trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely,wasn,t I? I had overcome one of my greatest fears — losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.

   For the rest of the class,I continued practising,and I got better enough so that a week later,when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground,I didn't even think about calling another parent to drive my daughter to school. “I can do this,” I told myself. And I did.

24. In the classroom,Robert intended to help participants to .

   A. know each other

   B. build up confidence

   C. learn about the course

   D. put theory into practice

25. The accident made the author afraid to .

   A. have kids in her car   B. drive on snowy days

   C. drive long distances   D. be in a car by herself

26. What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?

   A. Mixed. B. Puzzled.

   C. Thankful. D. Regretful.

27. What do we know about the class?

   A. It's tiring. B. It's helpful.

   C. It's expensive. D. It's interesting.
