My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres，Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening，but they're also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Fynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. 【1】Who does "I" refer to in the text? A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn. C. Jo Usmar. D.

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly. 【1】What does the smile usually mean in America? A.Love. B.Politeness. C.Joy. D.Thankfulness. 【2】The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ . A.show friendliness to strangers B.be used to hide true feelings C.be used in the wrong places D.show personal habits 【3】What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people? A.Learn about their relations with others. B.Understand their cultural backgrounds. C.Find out about their past experience. D.Figure out what they will do next. 【4】What would be the best title for the test? A.Cultural Differences B.Smiles and Relationship C.Facial Expressiveness D.Habits and Emotions |

Earth's next superpower The following countries have been sitting on hidden talents. And now they're about to fly. NIGERIA (尼日利亚) Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil-producing countries,Kuwait and Iraq. All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen. Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology，it could balloon into the world's 13th largest economy by 2050，right between Turkey and Italy. If that reason is not enough for optimism，Nigeria's president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan. VIETNAM As agriculture has given way to industry，unemployment in Vietnam has dropped. What's Vietnam's trick? It's ready to work. Other countries' laborers aren't as cheap as they used to be，which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad. However，the country has almost no railroads，its highways are in poor condition，and its largest city has just one airport，which was built before the Vietnam War. So what's the use of producing export-ready goods if there's no convenient way to ship them? The good thing is that，however，officials are widening highways，building a new airport and so on. CHILE (智利) Pipes，computers，motors，and your microwave all have one thing in common: They're made with copper (铜). Copper makes the world go round. And luckily for Chile， it's got about a third of the planet's copper supply. It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country's mines. 【1】Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050? A.Kuwait. B.Iraq. C.Turkey. D.Italy. 【2】What's the problem Vietnam is facing? A.It doesn't have money to build new factories. B.Its people don't have enough food to eat. C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War. D.Its transport system is very poor. 【3】What will Chile depend on to get developed? A.High tech. B.Natural resources. C.Investments from other countries. D.The government's good administration. 【4】Which of the following is the best title of the text? A.Countries with a lot of money B.Developed countries C.Countries in great need of money D.Countries about to take off |

British artist Amy Sharrocks collects nearly all kinds of water. In 2013 she set up the Museum of Water, a live piece of artwork that travels all over the world and invited people to donate water—from spit to melted snow—in a bottle and discuss what it means to them. The program aims to understand why people treasure water and help prepare them for a drier future and climate，Ms. Sharrocks told an audience of climate experts, activists and museum curators(馆长). 'For example, we show them how to have three minute showers to better deal with water shortages，' she said. Amy is not alone as a matter of fact. As world leaders increasingly face up to the serious results of climate change，curators are planning a new wave of museums, which are devoted to what many consider a vital issue of the times. In 2015, a former lawyer Miranda Massie created the first United States museum which was entirely devoted to climate change in New York City. 'Climate change is affecting virtually every aspect of our lives，' Ms. Massie said. 'But we can't fight the problem with topdown policies alone. We need the public to participate and museums are a way to open people's mind to what matters. ' Bridget McKenzie, director of Flow Associates, wanted to raise awareness of the dilemma of the Pacific island nations, which are particularly vulnerable(易受伤害的) to rising sea level. So with her team she set up a 'ghost boat' made of old fish nets at the University of Cambridge's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and asked visitors what they would take with them if they were suddenly forced to leave their homes. While museums can be a powerful way of communicating the effects of climate change, they should also practice what they spread and control their own emissions (排放物). 'Roughly half of cities' emissions come from energy use in buildings, ' said Elliot Goodger, a museums' association representative of the West Midlands in Britain，'museums have a duty to be energy efficient, for example, by using laser lighting for displays or improving their building materials. ' 【1】Why did Amy Sharrocks set up the Museum of Water? A.To help people get rid of water shortages. B.To collect some special water worldwide. C.To remind people to attach importance to water. D.To warn people of the danger of a drier future. 【2】What can we learn from Massie's words in Paragraph 3? A.Fighting climate change demands joint efforts. B.More climate museums should be built in future. C.Climate change is a matter of concern to the public. D.Policy responses to climate change need improving. 【3】What can visitors learn when visiting the 'ghost boat'？ A.What is valuable to people. B.What causes sea level to rise. C.Rising sea level puts people's homes at risk. D.The Earth's climate change endangers fishing. 【4】What may Goodger advise climate museums to do? A.Take the initiative. B.Lead by example. C.Change their traditional functions. D.Add climate topics to their programs. |

How to Pack Your Bags Plan your clothes for each day of your trip. If you pack whole clothes rather than individual items of clothing, you won't have to worry about running out of things to wear. Choose your clothes based on what you plan to do, leaving anything else at home. For example, suppose you're going to the beach and plan to spend the majority of your time on the shore.【1】, but you wouldn't bring any formal wear. Roll your garments in your bag. Folding takes up more space, and your clothing will end up more wrinkled.【2】. Rolled garments also take up less space in your suitcase, allowing you to pack more items. 【3】 In most places you travel, you'll have access to first aid supplies and drugs if you need them. However, having a basic first aid set with you means you won't have to waste time hunting for supplies when you need them. Separate documents and items you'll need for your return home. Put return tickets, your house keys, and anything else related to your return in a separate plastic bag. Include a small amount of cash as well, in case you need it.【4】. Don't take these things with you when you're out and about. Leave them in your hotel room or locked in a safe at the hotel or hostel where you're staying. Include a laundry bag in your suitcase.【5】, but bringing your own will make things easier on your return. Lay it flat on top of your clothes and other items to keep things from shifting during travel. A.Put the bag in a safe place B.That will keep them off the floor C.You might bring several swimsuits D.Pack medical and first aid supplies E.Rolling your garments reduces wrinkles F.You can depend on first aid supplies and drugs G.Many hotels provide a small plastic bag for laundry |
