British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.

Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.

Bunyan’s style was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.

Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).

The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor — life as a journey — is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.

“The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they got away and reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.

HE is one of the most charming young heroes since Harry Potter. Like Potter, he is chosen by fate to carry out a mission, but unlike the boy wizard, he doesn’t get any chances to have fun or hang out with friends because he’s a little too busy preparing to lead during an upcoming war to save the Earth.

Meet Ender Wiggin, 15, the main character of the hit US sci-fi movie Ender’s Game (《安德的游戏》), which will come out on Jan 7 in China.

The story opens in 2086, 50 years after an insect-like alien race, called the Formics, attacked the Earth and killed tens of millions of people before being driven back to their home planet. Since then, human beings have been in a state of fear, awaiting a second attack.

Earth’s military leaders seek young warriors to risk going into space for battle, and children are taught to compete for these positions. As the film explains, youths can make leaps of logic and intuition, devising effective attack strategies more quickly than adults.

So here comes Ender, the savior (救世主) of all mankind. Though Ender is a skinny kid, smaller than most, he is also smarter than average. He tends to analyze situations and easily find ways to achieve the most positive outcomes. This rare gift makes him stand out in the program and get promoted to the Battle School, where he is directed to plan and carry out a series of virtual attacks on the Formics.

Can he use his military talents to wipe out Earth’s enemies?

Despite the obvious “be all you can be” subtext (潜台词), the movie “explores complex issues, including the consequences of violence and maintaining humanity and morality during wartime with intelligence and insight,” commented Yahoo.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film best presents the power of empathy (感情移入), which is what makes Ender a good leader. “The reason Ender succeeds is because he understands what makes his opponents tick (有某种行为) on the battlefield,” explained the entertainment news site.

1.The underlined words “a mission” in the first paragraph probably refer to “______”.

A. having fun and hanging out with friends

B. being a boy wizard to save the Earth

C. working to save all of mankind

D. acting as a leader of the Formics

2.Earth’s military leaders want to choose youths to be warriors because they think ______.

A. youths are smarter and more fearless than adults

B. youths are more willing to take risks in space

C. youths have sharper intuition and quicker reactions than adults

D. youths adapt to new battle environments more quickly than adults

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. The movie intends to encourage people to try to be what they want to be and never give up.

B. Ender is able to defeat Earth’s enemies because he possesses a super power that enables him to read his enemies’ minds.

C. Ender’s success proves that a good leader should have intelligence and insight and make full use of his or her teammates’ talents.

D. The movie discusses a variety of issues such as the effects of violence and the importance of morality and humanity during wartime.

 

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单

词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and social

sensibilities? For most people, it's just wishful thinking because there's no evidence that people

are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.

But just hold on a second there. Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie

Murphy Paul. She argues in Time magazine that "deep reading", as opposed to browsing web

pages, makes us nicer and smarter.

Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.

One is based in Canada. Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fiction

appear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the world

from their perspective.

But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn't just about

understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains. Deep reading is "slow, devoted, rich in

sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity". Through processing details, comparisons,

and other literary devices, the reader's brain creates a mental representation as if the scene were

unfolding in real life.

“It's said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer. Paul cites another

study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa, who found that when

readers are enjoying the experience most, the pace of their reading slows.

The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the

page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories

and opinions. It's as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, like

people falling in love.

None of this is possible when we browse web pages. We will eventually lose the ability to

appreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can be

understood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them. And even some educators just

meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.

With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warns, deep reading has become an

endangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up a

book, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.
