A
Matt Haig, the best-selling author of the novel “The Midnight”, recommends some
books that offer wisdom or comfort in difficult times.
Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Rilke (1929). This is the ultimate comfort read. The
book is what the title suggests: letters from an older poet to a younger one. The great thing
about Rilke’s advice is that it acknowledges the darkness and suffering of existence, yet
manages despite that—or maybe even because of that—to inspire.
When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön(1996). I read this book during the first
lockdown, and it was the perfect read for uncertain times. Chödrön is a Buddhist, but the
advice and philosophy in these relatively few pages speaks universally. It’s a great book
about embracing life in its totality, about seeing hope and suffering as part of a whole.
The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne(1928). The Winnie-the-Pooh stories really
speak to people going through tough times. In many ways, each of the characters reflects a
different mental state: Eeyore is depressed, Tigger is hyper-active, Piglet is anxious, and
Pooh reflects a hope and optimism much needed in recovery. I reread this book when I was
ill with a panic disorder, and it comforted me.
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott (1994). In my opinion, this is the greatest book about
writing ever written. But like Rilke, Lamott is offering far more than writing advice. She is
offering wisdom on life and how to embrace its imperfect nature.
21. Which book came out first?
A. Bird by Bird. B. The Midnight.
C. Letters to a Young Poet. D. The House at Pooh Corner.
22. What can readers learn from When Things Fall Apart?
A. The tough times are everywhere.
B. There is hope and suffering in life.
C. People have a variety of mental states.
D. The undesirable things of life can be ignored.
23. What do the four books have in common?
A. All contain inspiring advice.
B. They are based on true facts.
C. Matt Haig instructed their novelists.
D. Writing will be improved by reading them.
B
One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she
glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled.
I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for
me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly
shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.
Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide
my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the
same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up
eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as
good as the food I devoured(津津有味地吃) at home.
I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter(
) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged
for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an
outsider.
For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised
me:They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya
Singh, 6, who takes her moms Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day
a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone
said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough
dal to share with her entire class and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My
teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.”
Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of
my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see
that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian
lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what? I miss my mom’s
bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition,
family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide.
24Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school?
AShe didn’t like her smelly lunch.
BHer classmates ate up her bhindi roti.
CHer mom didn’t prepare lunch for her.
DShe skipped her lunch to fit in with others.
25What can we infer about the writer according to the passage?
AShe enjoyed the lunchtime at school.
BHer parents are immigrants from India.
CShe liked peanut- butter-and-jelly sandwich best.
DShe would bite her bhindi roti quickly when someone was looking.
26How did Satya deal with “the lunchbox moment”?
AShe threw away her lunch box.
BShe asked her teacher to make a rule.
CShe ate American food instead of her mom’s Indian cooking.
DShe brought more Indian cooking to share with her classmates.
27What does the author want to tell us?
AFood is something to celebrate, not hide.
BNever should you yuck someone’s yum in any case.
CIndian food is delicious and universally appreciated.
DThe lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods.
C
While riding hard on a bike, do you feel like you are saving the planet? Or do you just
feel out of breath? In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can
use in the fight against climate change.
The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution () in March supporting
bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. The resolution calls on member states to
“add the bicycle to public transportation, in the city and countryside, in developing and
developed countries”, with all 193 members of the UN agreeing upon the resolution.
The decision has received positive comments from different groups in support of
cycling and the environmental awareness internationally. “It’s an important step toward the
recognition of cycling as an important means of transport,” said the European Cyclists
Federation.
The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to
the center of the world’s attention. On February 28, the UN published a new report
assessing (评估) recent climate change trends (趋势). The report warns that the world’s
average temperature will rise by 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), with
more than 40% of the world’s population being “easily affected” to these temperature
changes.
Cycling is an environmentally friendly means of transport. Choosing to take a bike
instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission ( 碳排放) from
transport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford. The
research also found that cyclists produced 84 percent lower CO2 emissions from all
daily travel than non-cyclists.
Cycling has grown in popularity as people who take public transport to work wish
to stay away from crowded public transport and also like taking any opportunity to
exercise. Cycling culture has been further encouraged with the influence of COVID-19.
In May 2020, bike sales in Spain increased 22 times compared with 2019. In London,
large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle
safely.
More importantly, the resolution focuses on bike-sharing services, which could be
seen as recognition of China’s bike-sharing success, noted CGTN. China has some of
the largest bike-sharing systems in the world. This means of transport that produces
zero emissions reduces the amount of CO2 sent out into the atmosphere ( 大气层) by
4.8 million tons every year, according to a 2020 report from the World Resources
Institute.
28What is the resolution aimed at?
AWinning all member states’ support.
BMaking bicycles part of public transport.
CDealing with the problem of climate change.
DMaking people healthier and more athletic.
29What leads to the popularity of the resolution according to the text?
AThe whole world’s attention on climate change.
BCycling is encouraged in numerous countries.
CChina’s success in Bike-sharing systems.
DMore people wish to exercise more.
30Why is cycling considered the best weapon against climate change?
AIt get people to exercise and stay healthy.
BIt can largely reduce our carbon footprint.
CIt can reduce the influence of the COVID-19.
DIt helps us stay away from crowded public transport.
31What would be the best title for the text?
ACycling to improve health
BCycling to a climate solution
CWhy is cycling so important
DA new resolution by the UN
D
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as
it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a
lack of desires not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough
tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities () to enjoy life. Most
people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They
live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion () , a royal palace. Every new taste, every
additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house
of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful
things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would
make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find
many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich
person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And
when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a
little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of
thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are,
you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against
the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to
keep adding.
32The author intends to tell us that____________.
Atrue happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
Bbig houses are people's most valued possessions
Cbig houses can in a sense bring richness of life
Dtrue happiness comes from spiritual riches
33The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that______.
Ahowever materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
Bhowever materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
Cthough their house is big, they prefer a simple life
Dthough their house is big, it seems to be a cage
34It can be learned from the passage that __________.
Amore money brings more happiness
Bart is needed to make your house beautiful
Cliterature can enrich your spiritual life
Dsports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
35What would be the best title for the passage?
AHouse of Life
BSecret of Wealth
CRest and Refreshment
