The books we recommend as the top picks of the month:

MicroJoys

By Cyndie Spiegel

In hard times

Spiegel began searching for a way to learn to gently hold sorrow in one hand and joy in the

other. In a series of thoughtful essays, the author opens her heart to share emotional events, which she calls

“microjoys.” The author urges readers to open their minds and hearts and welcome glimpses of joy and beauty.

A Forest Journey

By John Perlin

This is the third edition of Perlin’s history of the essential role of trees in the story of humanity, from the

appearance o£ the first true tree some 385 million years ago to post-Civil War America, covering all corners of the

globe. Perlin writes that we have lost some 500, 000 square miles of forested land, adding even greater urgency to

his overall message.

Mind over Batter

By Jack Hazan

Hazan introduces readers to baking therapy: a way for people to work through their feelings with baking at

home. Mixed in recipes are tips and advice about managing anxiety. There are problems baking can’t solve, but

there’s no shortage of stressed-out people in need of a little comfort, and sometimes, baking can help with that.

This valuable reference work showcases iconic African American Olympians, and offers readers the

I still remember that day. Looking at the sea of people, I wanted to run off the stage. But I dived into the

speech I had practiced diligently, nervous but determined to make my voice heard.

It all started with my essay in response to a radio host’s slanderous comments about women’s rights. After my

boss refused it for publication, I submitted it to others, until finally I received a “YES!” from an online blog

focused on women.

My story had thousands of views online. One of them invited me to speak at a grass-root gathering planned in

Washington D.C., I agreed hastily. Then reality sunk in. I was an unemployed writer, needed to find gainful

employment, not focus on a meeting hundreds of miles away. I fought with myself, ready to reply with the reasons

why I could not attend their gathering.

Still unsure of what to do, I called my kindergarten teacher. As always, her advice was what I needed. I was

going to do this trip without spending a cent. I began contacting everyone I knew on the path from my house to

Washington D.C., explaining that I needed a ride. I set up a website for my “Road Trip for Rights.” Small donations

for my trip started rolling in.

Armed only with my computer, phone and a backpack of essentials, I began my adventure. On my way, a

woman who had been watching on the website pulled up. She and her daughter were heading to the gathering and

went a long way round to pick me. After arrival, she dropped me off at my hotel, and I finally relaxed before the big

day.

Upon returning to my hotel after the most amazing day, I received an envelope with my name on it. Inside

were a train ticket and a note that read, “Thank you for being a voice for those of us who cannot speak.” I boarded

the train, grateful and exhausted.

Since then, I have been to many gatherings and marches. I will always be thankful for that radio host whose

words fueled a passion in me to find my voice.

A. To get more information about the gathering.

B. To seek help for her trip to Washington D. C.

C. To organize some well-purposed gatherings.

D. To awaken people s awareness of their rights.

7. What can we infer about the radio host?

B. He helped set up the gathering in Washington D. C.

C. He published an article concerning women’s rights.

D. He was known for his sharp and inadequate words.

The majority of Britons are educated in state schools, making up around 60% of those admitted to Oxford and

Cambridge in 2013. Admissions at other leading universities were also weighted towards teenagers educated

privately.

Then began a quiet revolution. The number of state-schooled pupils getting Oxbridge places has risen yearly;

the number from private schools has fallen. The Russell Group of 24 leading universities says its members aim to
