Here’s a list of books I’m looking forward to this fall season. Not all of them will rise to the

level of the advertisement, but it’s an abundant crop.

Home After Dark by David Small (Liveright, Sept. 11)

In 2009, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir( 回忆录 ) called Stitches. Now

the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy

brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking

images. On Sept.

11 at 3p.m., Small will be at Amazonbooks at Union Market. More information at www.

amazon.com/graph-tale.

Waiting for Eden by Elliot Ackerman (Knopf, Sept. 25)

This brief novel is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner

in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a Navy

in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation. More information at

www. amazon. com/military-essay.

All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung (Catapult, Oct. 2)

Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a white

family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian American identity

and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. More information at www. amazon.

com/politics-prose.

Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver (Harper, Oct. 16)

Alternating between past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a

late-19th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy over Darwinism. Like

her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. Visit www.

amazon. com/tech-science for more information.

One summer, when I was young, my dad built me a lemonade stand. On sunny days I would

set up outside the local car wash with a cooler and my little black safe. I didn’t get many

customers but I always had fun, whether I was reading a book or adding paint decorations to the

safe and signs.

One customer I did have was an elderly gentleman who lived across the street from the car

wash. He would come every day where I set up and buy a glass of lemonade for his wife. Even

though I only charged 25 cents, he always paid me with a $1 Sacagawea coin. I built up quite a

collection by the end of the summer!

Now, as a college student, I make a point of stopping at as many lemonade stands as I can,

always paying more than the kids charge me. This has been going on for almost three years now

but this week, I didn’t have any money with me when I stopped at a little girl’s stand. I dug

around in my car thoroughly and eventually opened up one of my moving boxes showing a black

safe covered in soft cloth painted rainbows and hearts. I opened it up and sure enough, there were

my Sacagawea coins. I almost shut the lid again because they mean so much to me, but then I

realized that this is exactly why I had to pay with the coin. When I gave that little girl the shiny

gold coin, I said, “You hang on to this one; they don’t make them any more!” And her face lit up.

As I drove away, I saw her running to her sister to show her the gold coin and I knew that I had

made her just as happy as I was when I was a little girl.

4. What did the gentleman pay the author for the lemonade?

A. 25 cents every time. B. A collection of gold coins.

C. A one-dollar gold coin each time. D. A little black safe with many gold coins.

5. Why did the author pay the little girl with a gold coin?

A. To pass the kindness. B. To show her wealth.

C. To help the poor girl. D. To make the girl happy.

6. How did the author feel when she gave the girl the coin?

A. Unwilling and hesitant. B. Excited and willing.

C. Serious and pleased. D. Peaceful and pleased.

7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. A Kind Young Lady B. A Shiny Gold Coin

C. A Wealthy Gentleman D. A Happy Lemonade

Stand C

In January 2017, a series of fires in central Chile’s La Maue region burned down over

457,000 hectares (公顷) of forest, leaving behind nothing but burnt ground. Now, three border

shepherd dogs (边境牧羊犬) are helping replant it by doing what they love most, running.

Das, Olivia, and Summer, three female border dogs have been working hard to bring the

forest burnt by fire back to life since March. They are essentially running and playing, but their

work is

important. The dogs’ owner, 32-year-old Francisca Torres, takes them to various areas of burnt

forest in her truck, equips them with special bags which she fills with seeds of local plants. Then

the dogs are sent out to run around and spread as many seeds as they can. When they return, she

rewards them with snacks, fills up their bags and sends them out on another run.

Torres, who trains the dogs not to attack any wild animal while on seed spreading tasks,

thinks border shepherd dogs are perfectly suited for the job, because of their intelligence, energy

and speed. They’ve learned that they have to empty their bags in order to receive their tasty

reward when they return, and can cover much more ground than a human ever could. Every day,

they can cover up to 30 kilometers and spread around eight kilograms of seeds, while a person on

foot could only cover 3 kilometers. Most importantly, they love what they do.

Replanting the vast burned-down forest in just a few days will take years, but Torres hopes
