A
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列）of lifestyle
books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new
appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy
headmistress, Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening, but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters — Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young
student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse
"night people" who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror
story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's
a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak
wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.
Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

Nowadays, many of us spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices
and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. The result is that our brain easily feels tired. We need to give the
brain a rest，but how?
David Strayer is a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. He claims that camping may be
just what a techtired brain needs. His argument finds strong support from Carl and Kate, two experienced
campers. Carl, who works for a mobile phone company，says that being outdoors makes him feel relaxed.
It also prepares him for the work he must do. Camping gives us a chance to be in touch with nature and it's
very relaxing. When you return to work on Monday，you're in a better state of mind. I really like the way I
feel on Monday. Kate is a senior editor. She says camping brings her some peace she couldn't have
otherwise. She even finds herself more creative.
David Strayer explains that camping allows close contact with nature and being in nature calms the
brain and helps it to focus. When people go camping, they need to learn about animals and natural
environments; they have to deal with the weather ，learn to stay dry in the rain or warm in the snow and
have to keep the feet in good condition when hiking and walking.
Some might say that taking a long walk in the woods or by the ocean or in a city park is wonderful,
too. But camping requires that one spend more time in nature and it can test him in different ways. And it
brings more health benefit as well.

William Shakespeare is the greatest writer in the English language and is known around the world. But
how much do you really know about him?
Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon, located in central England, in 1564. At age 18, he
married Anne Hathaway and they had three children. Then Shakespeare went to London to work as an actor
and writer. In 1599，the Globe Theatre was built in London. It was in this theatre that some of
Shakespeare's plays were first performed. In 1613. the theatre was destroyed by a fire. However. a modern
reconstruction of the theatre was built near the original site in 1997, so even today you can go to the Globe
Theatre to see one of Shakespeare's plays.
His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets and some other poems. He is best known for his
plays. which have been translated into every major language and are performed more than those of any
other playwright (剧作家) in the world. Shakespeare's works remain very popular. But why do we like
these old plays? Perhaps it is because they all contain fantastic stories. His characters suffer bloody battles,
deaths by poison, and dramatic family battles. His plays are full of exciting storylines and lessons about
morality.
Hamlet, for example, is about revenge (复仇) and also about how difficult it is to take action
sometimes, even when it is important to do so. Hamlet's father is murdered by another man, who then
marries Hamlet's mother, Everybody wants to see Hamlet dead. Hamlet must take revenge. but will he be
able to? The famous quote “To be or not to be, that is the question" comes from this play.
