09 Bookworms vs. Bloodsucking Fake-Mustache Defenders

Bookworms VS. Bloodsucking Fake-Mustache Defenders The Fake-Mustache Defenders won the coin toss. They got to go first. "In the book by Andrea Beaty," said Mr. Todd, "young scientist Ada Twist tries to figure out the source of a bad smell. Where does she write down her scientific thoughts?" Mighty Fantaskey buzzed in. "The Great Thinking Hall." "Correct," said Mr. Todd. "For the Bookworms," said Ms. de la Cruz. "What book by author Liz Kessler begins with the line, 'Can you keep a secret?'" Sophie buzzed in. "The Tail of Emily Windsnap." "Correct. Ten points." "Okay, Fake-Mustache Defenders. From Charlotte's Web, by E. B. White, please name one of the words

“书虫”vs“吸血假胡子卫士”“假胡子卫士”在抛硬币中获胜。 他们得先走一步。“在安德烈·比蒂（Andrea Beaty）的书中，”托德说，“年轻的科学家艾达·特威斯特（Ada Twist）试图找出难闻气味的来源。 她把她的科学思想写在哪里？”Mighty Fantaskey蜂拥而至。 “伟大的思考大厅。” “对，”托德先生说。“给书虫们的。” 德拉克鲁兹。“作家莉兹·凯斯勒（Liz Kessler）的哪本书以‘你能保守秘密吗？’”索菲插话道。 “艾米莉·温斯纳普的尾巴” “正确。10分。”“好吧，假胡子卫士。 摘自《夏洛特的网》，作者：E。 怀特，请说出一个单词

that Charlotte the spider spins in her web." Mighty buzzed in again. "Terrific. Radiant. Some pig." "That's three words," said Mr. Todd. "But you are correct on all counts. Ten points." "Bookworms. In Muggie Maggie, by Beverly Cleary, what earns Maggie the nickname Muggie?" Bzzz. "Judy Moody?" "She doesn't want to learn to write in cursive." "That is correct. Ten points." The questions went back and forth, back and forth for several rounds. No one got a single question wrong until the Bookworms could not remember that Posada was the Mexican artist in Funny Bones by Duncan Tonatiuh. Then the Fake-Mustache Defenders forgot why Stuart Little left home in the book by E. B. White. Phew! After that, Stink said the giant peach landed on the Eiffel Tower, instead of the Empire State Building, in James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.

夏洛蜘蛛在她的网上打转。” Mighty又嗡嗡地进来了。“棒极了。 辐射。一些猪。”“那是三个字，”托德说。 “但是你在所有方面都是正确的。 10分。”“书虫。在贝弗利·克利里所著的《玛吉》一书中，玛吉为什么被称为玛吉？Bzzz。 “朱迪·穆迪?”“她不想学用草书写字。” “没错。10分。” 问题来来回回，来来回回地问了好几轮。 没有人答错一个问题，直到书虫们想不起来波萨达是邓肯·托纳蒂乌（Duncan Tonatiuh）的《滑稽骨头》（Funny Bones）里的墨西哥艺术家。 然后假胡子的捍卫者忘记了为什么斯图尔特·利特尔在E。 b .白色。唷!在那之后，在罗尔德·达尔的《詹姆斯和大桃子》中，斯达克说大桃子落在了埃菲尔铁塔上，而不是帝国大厦上。

"Next question," said Mr. Todd. "In Lola Levine Is Not Mean!, by Monica Brown, what is the name of Lola Levine's soccer team?" The boy to the left of Mighty buzzed in. "Orange Crush!" he cried. "I'm sorry," said Mr. Todd. "The correct answer is the Orange Smoothies." The audience groaned. Judy's palms began to sweat. Her fake freckles itched. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. "In Because of Winn-Dixie, by Kate DiCamillo," said Ms. de la Cruz, "what is Opal's dog afraid of?" Every single Bookworm buzzed in. "Jessica Finch?" "Thunderstorms," said Jessica. "Another correct answer for the Bookworms. Add ten points." "Woo-hoo," yelled Webster from the crowd. Rocky called, "Go, Bookworms!" The score was tied! The air in the room crackled with electricity. The Fake-Mustache Defenders knew that a pen was called a frindle in a book by Andrew Clements about a boy who invents a new word. Ten more

“下一个问题，”托德说。 《洛拉·莱文并不卑鄙！》“洛拉·莱文所在的足球队叫什么名字？”Mighty左边的男孩嗡嗡地走了进来。 “橙碎！”他叫道。“对不起，”托德先生说。 “正确答案是橙汁冰沙。” 观众发出了呻吟声。朱迪的手掌开始冒汗。 她的假雀斑很痒。她深吸一口气使自己平静下来。 “在凯特·迪卡米洛（Kate DiCamillo）的《因为温迪克西》（Because of Winn-Dixie）一书中，”她说。 德·拉·克鲁兹，“奥珀尔的狗在怕什么？”每一个书呆子都蜂拥而至。 “杰西卡·芬奇吗?”“雷雨，”杰西卡说。 又是书呆子们的正确答案。 加十分。”“哇！”韦伯斯特在人群中喊道。 洛奇喊道：“加油，书虫们！”比分打平了！房间里的空气充满了电的噼啪声。 假胡子捍卫者们知道，安德鲁·克莱门茨（Andrew Clements）写的一本关于一个男孩发明了一个新词的书中，钢笔被称为“frindle”。 十

points. "In the Lowriders graphic novels by Cathy Camper, three friends— Lupe, El Chavo Flapjack, and Elirio Malaria— love working on cars. What kind of creatures are they?" Frank buzzed in. "An impala, an octopus, and a mosquito!"

点。在Cathy Camper的《低骑手》漫画小说中，三个朋友——Lupe， El Chavo Flapjack和Elirio Malaria——喜欢在汽车上工作。 它们是什么动物？”弗兰克嗡嗡地走了进来。 “一只黑斑羚，一只章鱼，还有一只蚊子！”

Before they knew it, it was halftime, and the score was eighty to eighty. The two teams were well matched. "What a game!" said Amy Namey. "The Bookworms and the Bloodsucking Fake-Mustache Defenders are neck and neck. Will the Bookworms take a bite out of the Bloodsuckers? Or will the Bloodsuckers sink their fangs into the Bookworms on their way to the finish and take home the trophy?" In the second half, the questions got harder. Judy's mouth felt as dry as the desert in The Three Little Javelinas. She took a gulp of water. She rubbed the lucky penny in her pocket. She clicked the heels of her lucky high-tops together. "In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl," said Mr. Todd, "what happens to Violet Beauregarde when she chews gum against Willy Wonka's wishes?" Bzzz. "She turns into a giant blueberry," said a Fake-Mustache Defender. The audience cracked up. "In Grace Lin's novel Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, who helps Minli on her journey to find the Old Man of the Moon?"

他们还没反应过来，半场就结束了，比分是八十比八十。 这两个队势均力敌。 “多好玩的游戏啊！”艾米·奈米说。 “书虫和吸血假胡子卫士不分伯仲。 书虫会咬吸血鬼一口吗？ 或者吸血魔会在冲向终点的路上把毒牙咬向书虫，把奖杯带回家吗？”在下半场，问题变得更难了。 朱迪的嘴像《三个小标枪》里的沙漠一样干。 她喝了一大口水。她把幸运便士在口袋里揉了揉。 她把那双幸运的高帮鞋的鞋跟踩在一起。 “在罗尔德·达尔（Roald Dahl）的《查理和巧克力工厂》（Charlie and the Chocolate Factory）中，”托德说，“当维奥莱特·博雷加德（Violet Beauregarde）违背威利·旺卡（Willy Wonka）的意愿嚼口香糖时，会发生什么？”Bzzz。 “她变成了一个巨大的蓝莓，”一位假胡子卫士说。 观众大笑起来。“在林徽因的小说《山与月相接之处》中，是谁帮助敏莉找到了月亮老人？”
