Books to Read in Your 20s

The Kite Runner   by Khaled Hosseini

As a Middle Eastern and Northern African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn’t yet, I highly recommend (推荐) it.

Firefly Lane  by Kristin Hannah

This is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll share this book with your best friend.

Half the Sky  by Nicholas Kristof

For any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.

The Little Prince  by Antoine de Saint

This children’s book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties but perhaps that’s what makes it a good choice. It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends.

1.Who is the writer of the book The Kite Runner?

A.Antoine de Saint. B.Kristin Hannah. C.Nicholas Kristof. D.Khaled Hosseini.

2.What can you learn from Firefly Lane?

A.It’s written by Tully and Kate. B.It’s about friendship, love and life lessons.

C.It’s a simple book for children. D.It’s a book written for any person of any age.

3.Which book will you read if you want to know about human rights problems?

A.The Kite Runner. B.Firefly Lane. C.Half the Sky. D.The Little Prince.

B

In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts (甜甜圈) and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus.

Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn’t mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing—always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.

I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives—until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o’clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.

"I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe.I told him it wasn’t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids.

So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark.

Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰场),who let my boys ring home; Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn’t leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work—even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”

That wasn’t a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.

4.According to the passage, the author sometimes____.

A.sold bus tickets to the children B.gave the children free doughnuts

C.did business with the children’s help D.called the children's parents to pick them up

5.By saying “...it wasn’t a big deal (Para. 4),’’ the author meant that _________.

A.she hadn’t done anything significant

B.she hadn’t spent much time with the children

C.She hadn’t made a lot of money from the children

D.she hadn’t found it hard to get along with the children

6.What can we learn about the police officer?

A.He took the boys to the police station. B.He helped the boys look for their mother

C.He drove the boys back home in a police car. D.He managed to make sure of the boys' identity.

7.The passage suggests that________.

A.running a business requires skill B.taking responsibility is a moral virtue

C.devotion should be everything in life D.there are always no small acts of kindness

C

Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizing

formulas(公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow". But my problem wasn't with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.

By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school. 

The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.

I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers, and they seek a sense of purpose. They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback(反馈).

Until I got to college, I didn't really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious(耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem. It wasn't easy, but it was fascinating. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept pursuing them, even though I couldn't always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

8.Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured" before entering college?

A.Because he wasn't interested in math.

B.Because his math teachers didn't care to push him.

C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class.

D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.

9.According to the writer, students are affected by the following things from teachers orcoaches EXCEPT ______ .

A.a sense of purpose B.constant feedback C.passion D.specific instructions

10.We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ______ .

A.was busy looking for math problems to solve B.studied on his own just as he was in high school

C.met with laborious calculations in his studies D.began to realize what mathematics really is

11.What is the best title for the text?

A.Interest is the best teacher B.Be the best-you can make it

C.Math, taught like football D.Once your teacher, always your teacher

D

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and- savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).

It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes(下层丛林), and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

12.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The effect of African elephants’ search for food.

B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C.Disappearance of African elephants.

D.The eating habit of African elephants.

13.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A.Fixing the time. B.Worsening the state.

C.Improving the quality. D.Deciding the conditions.

14.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.

B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of

D.They are home to many endangered animals. different kinds.

15.The passage is developed mainly by________.

A.showing the effect and then explaining the causes

B.pointing out similarities and differences

C.describing the changes in space order

D.giving examples

Nowadays, because of mobile phone’s attractive functions, more and more students are becoming Phubbers. They can’t stop surfing the Internet, taking photos and even playing mobile games by using it everywhere.

However, phubbing disturbs not only our study but also our life. On the one hand, phubbers waste lots of time playing cell phone games and sending messages, particularly in class. Other people also complain they are disturbed when phones ring in classrooms. On the other hand, it can lead to health problems. For instance, using a mobile phone on the sofa can cause back and neck pain.

As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do cherish everything around us and appreciate the scenery ahead of us. What’s more, we should do more exercises and take part in real-life activities. In a word, only when we use the phone reasonably can we realize the happiness of life.
