A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty

The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote

English villages.

The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a

mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on

with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As

the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying

instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”

The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable

life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to

find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving instructor,

best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.

The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in

London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue （线索） he has is a

fossil（化石）, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written:

“Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.

The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his

geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found.

James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets,

Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a

stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of

completeness. As a journey of self-discovery, The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy

ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, “I was home.”

21．What is the main theme of the novel?

A．Life with foster parents. B．Life in the world of diving.

C．A journey of self-discovery. D．A travel around the country.

22．What do the coach’s words in Paragraph 2 suggest?

A．James is a successful diver. B．James is an independent young man.

C．James is an outgoing young man. D．James is a hopeful swimmer.

23．The snake stone in the novel is .

A．a stone with an address on it B．a fossil left by the foster parents

C．a gift from the swimming coach D．a clue left by the birth mother

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to

distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash

to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German

city believe in fairytales.

The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10,000 with a cutting from

the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her

handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名) envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at

a kindergarten and a church.

The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one

of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-

year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the

Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of €500 inside, with

a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.

"I was driving when I heard the news.”Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told DerSpiegel

magazine.“I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.”

The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a

course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.

“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks

of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin

Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.

Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said:“Maybe it is an old person

who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the

city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

24．The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of_____________ .

A．a church B．a newspaper

C．a bank D．a magazine

25．Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?

A．The donation amounted to €190,000. B ．The donation was sent directly to his

house.

C．His mother felt astonished at the donation. D ．The money will be used for his

education.

26．It can be inferred from the passage that____________.

A．the donation will continue to come B．the donator is a rich old man

C．the donation comes from the newspaper D．the donator will soon be found out

27．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Money Is Raised by the Newspaper B ．Newspaper Distributes Money to the

needy

C．Robin Hood Returns to the City D ．Unknown Hero Spreads Love in

Envelopes

White-collar workers increasingly unhealthy

An increasing number of white-collar workers in Shanghai are getting failing grades on their

physical examinations,according to a white paper on the health of white-collar workers in Shanghai.

Carried out by Shanghai Foreign Service Group,a human resources company,the report

indicated that more than 53 percent of males are overweight,46 percent suffer from a fatty live and

about 26 percent have elevated blood lipids（血脂）.However,females are more often diagnosed as

having breast lesions （乳房病变） that could lead to cancer (85 percent),thyroid （甲状

腺）disorder (34 percent) and hemorrhoids（痔疮）(23 percent).

Though the report also found that white-collar workers were paying increasing attention to their

health—with about 84 percent saying they followed their condition closely or very closely—those

with healthy lifestyles dropped to 64 percent last year from 77 percent in 2015.

The report came from about 500,000 physical exams taken by while-collar workers in Shanghai

over the past five years."I always eat and drink too much and never exercise,"said Wei Ruoxi,a 26-

year-old working in finance who is struggling with being overweight."I know what a healthy

lifestyle looks like,but the job just brings too much pressure and squeezes out exercise time,"she

added.Hu Xiaolong,30,an accountant in Shanghai,said he was determined to live healthily from now

on."My recent physical examination shows a little shadow in the lung,which startled me when I

heard it.I really need to quit bad habits like smoking and staying up late.”
