Four Famous Books in American History

The 1920s was the first recognizably “modern” period in American history

and the books at that time remain current in many senses. Here are four books

published in the 1920s that everyone should read.

The Great Gatsby

Whether or not it truly is his “best” novel, there’s a reason that F. Scott

Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby remains his most popular work today. The themes

in the novel reflect the sudden change in America itself. The novel also conveys

the American Dream, the idea that self-made ( 白手起家的) men and women

could make themselves into anything in this country. Fitzgerald rejected the idea,

however.

Ulysses

Ulysses employs “ stream of consciousness”, a technique that seeks to exactly

copy the inner monologue (独白) of a person, which was commonly credited to

William James. James Joyce wasn’t the first writer to use this technique

(Dostovesky used it in the 19th century), but he was the first one to attempt it on

the massive scale in this book.

The Sound and the Fury

William Faulkner’s greatest work is this novel that is usually considered as one

of the most challenging novels. The story is of a big family in decline. For much

of the novel, the point of view is the first person, while the final section suddenly

switches to the third person. Techniques like that are what make this book

remarkable.

Red Harvest

This classic novel from Dashiell Hammett remains incredibly influential for its

tone, language and plot （情节） . A private detective is hired to clean up a

corrupt (腐败的) town, a place where the police also involve in the corruption.

Sounds familiar, right? It’s because so many books, films and TV shows have

stolen the basic plot of Red Harvest.

1. Which book reflects the change of the society then?

A. Ulysses. B. The Great Gatsby. C.The Sound and the Fury. D. Red Harvest.

2. What is special about The Sound and the Fury?

A. It uses the technique of stream of consciousness.

B. It is the most popular work in 1920s.

C. It is written in different persons.

D. It has been adopted a lot for films.

3. What might be the theme of Red Harvest?

A. The crime. B. The language learning.

C. The adventure in the harvest time. D. The bravery of the police.

Shiri Magar grew up in a small village in the center of Israel and found that she

has a love for singing and performing. She also has a love for volunteering and

helping others. She has managed to combine both of these in her Good Deeds

Diva vlog (视频博客).

Shiri followed a music track that led her to the Boston Conservatory and then

back to Israel where she was accepted to the Meitar Opera Studio at the Israeli

Opera, and sang main roles at the Israeli Opera as well as abroad. She achieved

her dream to be a professional opera singer but realized that in this competitive

field she didn't have time to continue to help others by volunteering and doing

good, which brought her anxiety.

Fortunately, Shiri came up with a win-win solution—she started doing good

deeds in the opera world. She began by giving hamsas (a Middle Eastern good

luck symbol) to a competition she was participating in, which took place in

Moscow, Russia, and giving them to all the other participants and wishing them

all good luck. The reaction was very positive and it was contagious! The next

day a woman gave everyone roses. Shiri said that instead of being singer against

singer, they became colleagues and friends. That's when she launched Good

Deeds Diva.

At first, her vlog was concentrated in just the opera community but then she

expanded it because she wanted to make even bigger waves. Shiri's first goal is

to promote self- kindness something that is much needed in these times and the

second is to promote good deeds in the creative community by spotlighting other

performers,especially as the coronavirus pandemic has shut down live

performances.The last goal is to increase awareness of environmental issues like

pollution, global warming, and being kinder to the earth.Now grounded in Tel

Aviv, Shiri uses her Good Deeds Diva vlog to increase goodness, happiness, and

ways to spread inner joy to people all over the world.

4.Why did Shiri feel anxious in the opera world?

A. She had to face many competitors.

B. She hardly had time to help others.

C. She suffered pressure as main roles.

D. She found volunteering time consuming.

5.What did Shiri do to continue doing good deeds in Moscow?

A．She helped participants stand out.

B．She asked others to exchange gifts.

C. She taught others to make hamsas.

D．She sent wishes to her competitors.

6．What does the underlined word “contagious”in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Receiving positive reactions. B．Transporting diseases around.

C．Being competitive. D．Spreading among people.

7．What does paragraph 4 focus on about Shiri?

A.Her ways to promote operas. B．Her goals of cutting pollution.

C.Her aims of running her vlog. D．Her dreams about her singing.
