What happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of science fiction readers.

Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's monitoring(监控) system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.

While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.

When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many “security measures” in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists.

If you’re a fan of The Hunger Games,you shouldn’t miss another trilogy called Divergent.

The second book,by US author Veronica Roth,1. (publish) in 2012.It has spent 105 weeks on the USA Today best-selling books list and 2. (current) ranks No 1.

The trilogy’s story begins in a futuristic Chicago3. people are divided into five distinct groups.Each group is characterized by certain traits – Abnegation (the selfless),Dauntless (the brave),Erudite (the intelligent),Amity (the peaceful) and Candor (the honest).Every child,at 16,takes a test 4. (see) which of the five factions he or she belongs to.But Beatrice Prior,born in Abnegation,is qualified 5. three,meaning she is a Divergent.And she is told not to tell6. if she wants to stay alive.

So the decision is between staying with her family or being true to herself.Beatrice ends up 7. (choose) the Dauntless.After joining her new group,Beatrice renames herself Tris and tries to prove her 8. (brave) with amazing things like jumping off a moving train onto a rooftop.While undergoing these extreme physical tests,Tris must also determine who her real friends are.

The story of the trilogy “explores a more common adolescent anxiety – the painful realization 9. coming into one’s own sometimes means leaving family behind,both ideologically 10. physically”,commented The New York Times.

Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. I’m a unique creature.

Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make. Instead will I place my uniqueness on display in the market place. I will begin now to highlight my differences; hide my similarities.

I am rare, and therefore I am valuable. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men before me.

But my skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will weaken, rot, and die for fear that I put them to good use. I have unlimited potential. Only a tiny part of my brain do I employ; only a small amount of my muscle do I apply.

So never again will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I lose myself, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will. I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sanD.Henceforth(从今往后) will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell. I will practice, and improve, and polish the words I speak to multiply my sales, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career. Also will I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life that all my problems, discouragements, and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise. I am nature’s greatest miracle. And nature knows not defeat. Eventually, she achieves victory and so will I, and with each victory the next struggle becomes less difficult.
