A book review tells not only what a book is about，but also how successful it is at what it is trying to do.Professors often assign book reviews as practice in careful analytical(分析的) reading.

As a reviewer，you bring together the two strands of accurate，analytical reading and strong，personal response when you indicate(指出) what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader(by explaining what it meant to you)．In other words，reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book.Thus，in writing a review，you combine the skills of describing what is on the page，analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose，and expressing your own reactions.

Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book，like：

Title.

Author.

Place of publication，publisher，date of publication.

Number of pages.

Like most pieces of writing，the review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say.The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again，so your readers don’t have to look up to find this information.You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book，the purpose or audience for the book，and your reaction and evaluation.

Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book.Next，you should give a summary of the main points，quoting(引用) and explaining key phrases from the author.Finally，you get to the heart of your review—your evaluation of the book.In this section，you might discuss some of the following issues：

?How well the book has achieved its goal.

?What possibilities are suggested by the book.

?What the book has left out.

?How the book compares with others on the subject.

?What specific points are not convincing.

?What personal experiences you’ve had related to the subject.

It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author’s，so that you don’t confuse your readers.

Then，like other essays，you can end with a direct comment on the book，and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.

There is，of course，no set form，but a general rule is that the first one?half to two?thirds of the review should summarize the author’s main ideas and at least one?third should evaluate the book.

1.According to the text，personal response of a book reviewer refers to “________”．

A．accurate and analytical reading

B．the reviewer’s indication of what the book is

C．the reviewer’s indication of what the book meant to a reader

D．skills of describing what is on the page

2.What is the most important part of a book review?

B．the book review is not complex enough

C．the reviewer’s point of view is mixed with the author’s

D．there are some different issues listed in the book review

Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.

    Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?

Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.

At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.

1.We learn form the text that Wilson cares most about ______.

A. the environment for plants              B. the biodiversity of our earth

C. the wastes of natural resources          D. the importance of human values

2.How many species are most important to our present food supply?

A. Twenty.       B. Eighty.       C. One hundred.        D. Ten thousand.

3.Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _______.

A. learn how to farm scientifically      B. build homes for some dying species

C. make it clear what to eat            D. use more species for food

4.We can infer that the text is _______.

A. a description of natural resources        B. a research report

C. a book review                       D. an introduction to a scientist

 

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .

According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person’s message. Intonation (语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal(not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.

Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate “OK” with their thumb and fore-finger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means “money” to the Japanese and “zero” to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.

Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about — space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的) to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.

Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That’s why it’s possible to “read someone like a book”.

1. How does an American feel when an Arab stands too close to him ?（no more than 3 words）

_________________________________________________________

2. What does the gesture “OK” mean in Japan?  （no more than 3 words）

3.Why do we pay more attention to nonverbal cues in a foreign country?（no more than 10 words）

_________________________________________________________

4. Why should people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution?（no more than 10 words）

_________________________________________________________
