Things to Do on the Big Island of Hawaii
Go Surfing at Kahalu’u Beach
Hawaii is known as a surfer’s haven, making it one of the best places to learn to surf. The Big Island offers surf spots for all ability levels. Head to Kahalu’u Beach, and take a two-hour lesson from one of the knowledgeable instructors at Kahalu’u Bay Surf and Sea, which is also a good place to snorkel (浮潜), offering fun for the whole family.
Take a Helicopter Tour
Many spots on the Big Island are hard to reach by land. But in a helicopter, you can view cliffside views and waterfalls. From the sky, you can also see active volcanoes up close. Some tours circle the island, while others take you out at sunset during “the golden hour” to enjoy beachscapes.
Ride an ATV
Like helicopters, ATVs can reach hard-to-see locations on the Big Island. Book an ATV tour that takes you to majestic waterfalls where you can swim in crystal blue pools. On an Adventure Farms Tour, guides relay the rich history of Polynesia as you drive through the villages of Hawaii, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
Bike Downhill in Waimea Canyon
A Waimea Canyon Bike Tour will take you on a 13-mile journey by bike from the edge of Waimea Canyon to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. In your van ride up to the edge, your guide will tell the history, culture and folktales of the area, while you take in the native plants, birds, and trees.

Dear readers,
“Persist.” — Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Success is no accident.” — Chris Bohjalian
“Keep writing and it’ll get easier.” — Lisa Jewell
“Be patient with yourself.” — Min Jin Lee
These are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page.
In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them.
Wish you success and happy new year!

C.Ryan Van Cleave. D.Andromeda Romano.
6.Who might be the target readers of this issue
A.Writers. B.Businessmen. C.Booksellers. D.Literary agents.
At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
7.What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”
A.It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B.She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C.She understood the intention but still disliked it. D.Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
8.The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A.pick up a new hobby B.reconnect with her origin
C.gain insights into a new culture D.fit in with local community
9.From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A.reflects the creator’s spirits B.comes from creative energy
C.highlights the design of strokes D.depends on continuous practice
10.What does the author intend to tell us
A.Appreciate what our culture offers. B.Find beauty from your inner self.
C.A great teacher leads you to truth. D.We are the sum of what we create.
Chaudhary quietly weaves together lengths of ropes, binding them with grass collected from the riverbank. She skillfully shapes the materials into a jewelry box. Meanwhile, she’s instructing a group of women to work out the materials. The ropes used were once the lifeline for climbers tackling Nepal’s mountains and were then discarded (扔掉). They are now finding new life, transformed by skilled hands into items to sell.
Acharya, working with the cleaning campaign, owns a waste processing business in Kathmandu, also an advocate for sustainable waste management. “Aluminum and other metal waste go through the recycling process, but we found no way to recycle ropes and gas cans,” she says. It struck her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai that a solution emerged. Rai, leading Nepal Knotcraft Centre, helped connect Acharya with Chaudhary’s team of craftswomen in hopes of turning the mountain waste into economic opportunity. “While this seems insignificant compared to waste in the mountains, it’s a start. We aim to connect local expertise, mountain waste and local economy,” says Acharya, proudly displaying a mat made from ropes left on Mt. Qomolangma by climbers. Her goal is to ensure that no waste collected from mountains ends up in a landfill again.
Finished crafts are sold at outlets and exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they maintain household responsibilities.
Eventually, Acharya hopes to expand the program to involve more women and process more waste. But progress has been slow. “We still have not found a sustainable business plan to make crafts in large quantities, ”she says. Now, she is searching for cooperators to make a model that serves not only the mountain but the communities. “After all, we are trying to craft a sustainable future.”
Each rope turned into a decorative item is a way to help local women earn a living and keep mountains clean.
11.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Chaudhary in paragraph 1
A.To lead in the topic with her example.
B.To spread her environmental consciousness.
C.To show her patient instructions to the women.
D.To speak highly of her outstanding weaving skills.
12.What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.A business involving waste processing.
B.A team transforming waste into treasure.
C.A campaign advocating sustainable management.
D.A solution connecting expertise, waste and economy.
13.Which of the following is the most likely reason for craftswomen to join in the project
A.Selling crafts at outlets can earn more money.
B.Removing mountain waste generates a sense of pride.
C.Cooperating with local experts helps promote skills.
D.Work-life balance can be achieved due to flexible hours.
14.What is Acharya’s attitude towards expanding the program
A.Hesitant. B.Positive. C.Suspicious. D.Disapproving.
The easiest way to love yourself is to treat yourself like your own BFF. It might seem like it’s easier to love others than to love yourself, but it’s tough to build healthy relationships if you don’t love yourself first. 15
Let go of negative thoughts about yourself. Drill down to the core of those thoughts and tell yourself a different story. Think about what you would say to a friend who said those things about themselves. For example, if you forgot to buy trash bags, instead of blaming yourself, you might as well think, “I’ll just pick some up next time I go out — no big deal.” Don’t try to fight negative thoughts, though — they’re a part of who you are. 16 It might feel weird at first, but after a while, it becomes habitual to think that way.
Accept your flaws as part of who you are. Everything you’ve done and everywhere you’ve been is a part of who you are — you! Self-love isn’t about fixing all the “bad” things about yourself. Instead, accept that they’re all parts of the same whole. 17 For example, maybe you have a hard time trusting people. You wish you could be more trusting and open up more, but instead of trying to change, focus on how not immediately trusting people helps keep you safe.
18 If you expect yourself to be perfect all the time, you’ll never be pleased with anything you produce. So make it a point to appreciate the work you put into completing a task, rather than looking for flaws in what you produced. Avoid stereotypical ideas and images of perfection, such as models in beauty magazines. Remind yourself that the actual person probably doesn’t look like that in real life!
Practice gratitude for good things rather than focusing on the negative. It’s human nature to see negative things as bigger and more important than positive things, but this also does tremendous damage to your self-esteem. 19 Look for the positive side even when bad things happen to you. For example, if you lose your job, it can be easy to spiral into thinking that you were terrible at your job and no one will ever hire you again. Instead, you might think that now you have the opportunity to find something that’s a better fit for you.
A.Focus on your effort rather than the result to control perfectionism.
B.Challenge those thoughts with logical observations to reframe your conclusion.
C.Instead, you can simply drown them out with more positive, affirmative thoughts.
D.When you love yourself, you love all of you because you wouldn’t have the good without the bad.
E.Here are some strategies that can help you embark on a journey of treating yourself with kindness.
F.Negative thoughts often come from outside people whose opinions we value.
G.When you focus on the negative, try to name some things that you can be grateful for.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要描述了Chaudhary如何利用被丢弃的绳索制作手工艺品,并通过这种方式实现废物的再利用,同时也为当地妇女提供了就业机会和经济来源。
11.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Chaudhary quietly weaves together lengths of ropes, binding them with grass collected from the riverbank. She skillfully shapes the materials into a jewelry box. Meanwhile, she’s instructing a group of women to work out the materials. The ropes used were once the lifeline for climbers tackling Nepal’s mountains and were then discarded (扔掉). They are now finding new life, transformed by skilled hands into items to sell.( Chaudhary悄悄地把绳子编织在一起,用从河岸收集的草把绳子绑在一起。她熟练地把材料做成首饰盒。与此同时,她正在指导一群妇女制作材料。使用的绳索曾经是登山者攀登尼泊尔山脉的生命线,后来被丢弃了。如今,它们在熟练的工匠手中获得了新的生命,变成了可供出售的商品。)”可知,在本段中,作者通过描述Chaudhary如何利用废弃的绳索制作珠宝盒,并教导其他妇女进行同样的工作,来引入整篇文章的主题——废物再利用和可持续发展。通过Chaudhary的例子,读者可以直观地理解这一主题。故选A。
12.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“It struck her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai that a solution emerged. Rai, leading Nepal Knotcraft Centre, helped connect Acharya with Chaudhary’s team of craftswomen in hopes of turning the mountain waste into economic opportunity. “While this seems insignificant compared to waste in the mountains, it’s a start. We aim to connect local expertise, mountain waste and local economy,” says Acharya, proudly displaying a mat made from ropes left on Mt. Qomolangma by climbers. Her goal is to ensure that no waste collected from mountains ends up in a landfill again.(她突然想到,这些不可回收的垃圾可以再利用,但直到她遇到Maya Rai,解决方案才出现。Rai是尼泊尔手工艺中心的负责人,她帮助Acharya与Chaudhary的女工匠团队建立了联系,希望将山上的垃圾转化为经济机会。“虽然与山区的浪费相比,这似乎微不足道,但这是一个开始。我们的目标是将当地的专业知识、山区废弃物和当地经济联系起来,” Acharya自豪地展示着用登山者留在珠峰上的绳索制成的垫子。她的目标是确保从山上收集的废物不会再次进入垃圾填埋场。)”可知,本段讲述的是Acharya和Maya Rai一起找到了一个解决方案,将登山者留下的非回收性废物(如绳索和汽油罐)转化为经济机会,同时连接了本地专业知识和经济。故选D。
13.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Finished crafts are sold at outlets and exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they maintain household responsibilities.(成品工艺品在商店和展览会上出售。女工匠的报酬是根据她们制造和销售的物品的数量而定的。由于工作时间灵活,该项目让女性在承担家庭责任的同时也有机会赚钱。)”可知,该项目为妇女提供了灵活的工作时间,使她们能够在维持家庭责任的同时赚取收入。这种工作与生活的平衡是一个重要的吸引力,特别是对于需要照顾家庭和孩子的妇女来说。故选D。
14.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Eventually, Acharya hopes to expand the program to involve more women and process more waste. But progress has been slow. “We still have not found a sustainable business plan to make crafts in large quantities, ”she says. Now, she is searching for cooperators to make a model that serves not only the mountain but the communities. “After all, we are trying to craft a sustainable future.””(最终,Acharya希望扩大这个项目,让更多的女性参与进来,处理更多的废物。但进展缓慢。她说:“我们仍然没有找到一个可持续的商业计划来大量生产工艺品。现在,她正在寻找合作伙伴,制作一个不仅为山区服务,也为社区服务的模型。毕竟,我们正在努力打造一个可持续发展的未来。”)”可判断,Acharya希望扩大这个项目,让更多的女性参与进来,处理更多的废物。这直接表明她对扩大这个项目持积极的态度。故选B。
15.E 16.C 17.D 18.A 19.G
【导语】这是一篇议论文,论述了善待自己的重要性,并就如何做到这一点提出了若干建议。
15.本空前面“It might seem like it’s easier to love others than to love yourself, but it’s tough to build healthy relationships if you don’t love yourself first.(爱别人似乎比爱自己容易,但如果你不先爱自己,就很难建立健康的人际关系)”提到要善待自己,后面从第二段到最后一段则是分述善待自己的具体方法,所以此空应起到承上启下的作用。选项E“这里有一些策略可以帮助你踏上善待自己的旅程”符合语境,选项中的“some strategies”引出具体的做法,故选E。
16.根据本段首句“Let go of negative thoughts about yourself.(放下对自己的消极想法)”可知,本段主要谈论如何处理对自己的消极看法,总的建议是要摒弃这些看法。空格前“Don’t try to fight negative thoughts, though — they’re a part of who you are.(不要试图对抗消极的想法,它们是你的一部分)”提到,不要试图对抗消极想法,因为它们是你的一部分。所以空格处应该从正面回答如何摒弃消极想法,也就是说,虽然消极想法无法避免,但同时也可以从更积极、肯定的角度看待问题,C项“相反,你可以简单地用更积极、肯定的想法淹没它们”符合语境,故选C。
17.根据本段首句“Accept your flaws as part of who you are.(接受你的缺点作为你自己的一部分)”可知,本段主要是讲如何对待自己的缺点——要把它们当作自己的一部分。空格前面的句子“Instead, accept that they’re all parts of the same whole.(相反,接受它们都是同一个整体的一部分)”提到,你要接受它们(缺点)都是同一个整体的一部分。选项D指出,当你爱自己的时候,你会爱你的全部,因为没有缺点就不会有好的一面。该选项解释了要接受缺点的原因,故选D。
18.该段主要谈论要如何看待付出与结果,不要追求完美。空格后面两句“If you expect yourself to be perfect all the time, you’ll never be pleased with anything you produce. So make it a point to appreciate the work you put into completing at ask, rather than looking for flaws in what you produced.(如果你总是期望自己是完美的,你永远不会对你所做的任何事情感到满意。所以,在被要求完成工作的时候,你要对自己付出的努力心存感激,而不是在工作中寻找缺陷)”分别指出了过分追求完美结果的危害与重视付出的必要性。选项A“关注你的努力而不是结果来控制完美主义”建议你要更加关注努力而不是结果来抑制完美主义,故选A。
19.该段首句“Practice gratitude for good things rather than focusing on the negative.(学会感恩美好的事物,而不是专注于消极的事情)”提到要学会感恩美好的事物,而不是专注于消极的事情。空格前面“It’s human nature to see negative things as bigger and more important than positive things, but this also does tremendous damage to your self-esteem.(把消极的事情看得比积极的事情更大、更重要是人类的天性,但这也会对你的自尊造成巨大的伤害)”提到专注消极事情会损害自尊。结合各选项可知,G项“当你把注意力集中在消极方面时,试着说出一些你可以感激的事情”提到可以通过感恩美好来转移对消极事物的注意力,与段首的主题句内容吻合,故选G。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国著名的剧作家、翻译家和作家杨绛的生平。
35.考查冠词。句意:她属于中国文学中一个独特而美丽的存在。existence意为“存在”,是可数名词,此处表示泛指,需用不定冠词,unique是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此要用a。故填a。
36.考查动词不定式。句意:她是第一位将塞万提斯的西班牙语小说《唐吉诃德》翻译成中文的中国学者,在当时,她的翻译被誉为是在忠实的基础上对原作的再创造。分析句子可知,此处为the first…to do sth,意为“第一个做某事的……”,所以此处为动词不定式作后置定语。故填to translate。
37.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:她是第一位将塞万提斯的西班牙语小说《唐吉诃德》翻译成中文的中国学者,在当时,她的翻译被誉为是在忠实的基础上对原作的再创造。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,根据时间状语at that time可知,本句应为一般过去时;又因主语translation和honor之间为被动关系,所以空处应为一般过去时的被动语态结构,translation在本句中看作单数,谓语动词为单数形式。故填was honored。
38.考查介词。句意:她是第一位将塞万提斯的西班牙语小说《唐吉诃德》翻译成中文的中国学者,在当时,她的翻译被誉为是在忠实的基础上对原作的再创造。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语on the basis of“在……的基础之上”。故填on。
39.考查副词。句意:杨绛,1911年出生在一个富裕的家庭,原名杨季康。由副词修饰动词可知,此处为副词originally作状语修饰动词name。故填originally。

42.考查非谓语动词。句意:1984年出版的短篇小说《老王》被选入教材。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰novel,novel和write为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式。故填written。
43.考查名词。句意:1986年,由于她在《堂吉诃德》中的成就,她获得了西班牙著名的文艺勋章——智慧国王阿方索十世勋章。根据空前的for可知,此处为名词形式,又此处表示不止一个成就,因此用复数形式。故填achievements。
44.考查定语从句。句意:2003年,她的畅销书《我们仨》在两个月内销量超过18万册。分析句子可知,此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词We Three在从句中作sales的定语成分,用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
45.Fliss immediately took the purse to the local police station with Molly. When they arrived, Fliss tied Molly to a fireplug outside and went in herself. She handed the purse to a police officer and explained everything. Greatly touched, he shook her hand and thanked her for doing her duty, promising that he would do his best to find the owner. Fliss felt reassured and went back with Molly. The next day, a journalist called to make an appointment for an interview.

Fliss told the journalist it was on the way to collecting litter that Molly had found the purse. Hearing this, Molly stopped, wagging her tail as if she understood the whole situation. Having learned about the whole story, the journalist got to know what they did to protect the local beach. Surprised and impressed, the journalist took some pictures. The next day they were on the front page of the newspaper. A minor action could make wonders!
