How to pick a good book

It is not news that we spend more time texting（发短信） and surfing online than ever. But a recent study shows that more teenagers are reading good old-fashioned and ink-on-paper books. Reading is a good way to widen your knowledge and learn about yourself. You probably know how to find the best application programs for your phone. 1.

1. Start with your interests.

Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school. 2. This could be ancient martial arts, readings in computers, or fashion design books. If you can name the subject, you can find books about it.

2. Find your “type”

3. Books of fiction, like novels or short-story collections, can transport you to another world or help you to imagine something beyond your own experience. Not all fiction is the same. Try some different types of fiction and see which one you prefer. Non-fiction books give you the “who”, “what”, “when” and “why” of something. They tell stories suing facts, but that doesn’t mean they are dull.

3. Read the “blurb(简介)”

The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are known as “blurbs”. These comments not only give you an idea of what the book is about, but also help you to pick out future books. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the blurb and see which authors praised the book. 4.

4. 5.

Your local library can provide you with a lot of great books. Explain your interests and mention any writers you like, and the librarian can point you towards books that you will like.

Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading if you find a quiet place and make time for the book.

A. Ask an expert

B. Read in a quiet place

C. Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?

D. You can pick something that suits your interests.

E. But do you know how to pick a book that you will really like?

F. It is necessary to work out what the book is mainly about before reading.

G. Often, they will have similar styles, and you might find you like books by those authors, too.

Malka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.

Malka had just given birth to another son. Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work, doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.

Malka knew her sister’s problem and was quite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the haptismal (洗礼) ceremony，of course.

On the day of the haptism, Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the hall. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.

Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister you are! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”

Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation（控诉） had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She couldn’t look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.

The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mouth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddenly turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …

1. Shaindle didn’t visit her sister after her sister gave birth because______________.

A. she was jealous of her sister

B. she lived far from her sister

C. she was too busy to visit her

D. she didn’t feel quite herself

2. The underlined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means_____________.

A. make fun of somebody

B. hurt somebody deeply

C. meet somebody by accident

D. be impolite to somebody

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that_____________.

A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many years

B. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-law

C. Yehudit didn’t realize how her words could affect Shaindle

D. Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years

4.The purpose of the passage is to tell us ___________.

A. words sometimes can really hurt us

B. sisters should care for each other

C. we should forget unpleasant things

D. two sisters’ different experiences

Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on the past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect” (麦克白效应）.

It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands.

A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn't cleaned.

This finding interested W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.

He decided to test hand washing's effect on one kind of bad feeling：the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we've lost the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating (夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.

He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students two of the CDs and told them to select one as a gift. Some students then used liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed (闻)it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.

Later, the students again had to rank all the music CDs. People who didn't wash their hands had the normal response — they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as an even more attractive one than before. But this wasn't true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “They feel no need at all to justify (证明…正确）the choice,” says Lee.

But the effects of it just aren't clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder. But perhaps if they don't go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.

1.“The Macbeth effect” refers to the fact that ______.

A. Lady Macbeth had a habit of washing hands

B. people feel less ashamed after washing their hands

C. Macbeth knew about the importance of cleaning hands

D. Shakespeare used to wash his hands before writing Macbeth

2.In Lee's experiment, those who didn't wash their hands after making a choice ________.

A. valued their choice more than before

B. felt regretful about their choice

C. wished they had washed their hands

D. didn't care about their choice

3.According to Lee, those hand washers consider justifying their choice ________.

A. scientificB. usefulC. unnecessaryD. convincing

4.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?

A. Washing hands is a habit in our daily life.

B. Washing hands is to keep hands clean.

C. Washing hands will help you make a better choice.

D. Washing hands can reduce the stress of decision.

He was proud ________ to lead the project.

阅读下列材料，然后按要求完成材料后面的三个小题。

Dear Doctor,

My husband and I got married in 1990 and for the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and bring up our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.

My husband agreed and helped me to make my decision. He said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job—working for a small public company. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company.”

But as his joke was becoming true, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions (升职) and pay increases, and I can earn more money than he can. I can buy my own clothes and new car.

But things begin to change. My husband is not happy. My husband is very unkind to me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think our marriage may come to an end. I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel bad, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can’t you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

Please help me.

Mary
