Today, we present some fantastic psychological novels that will let you see the world through others’
eyes.
A Strangeness in My Mind
The main character of the novel, Mevlut, earns his living by selling traditional Turkish drinks in the
streets of Istanbul. The author describes him as “a bit of a weirdo ( 怪 人 ) yet with a heart of gold.”
Throughout the years, Mevlut wonders what the source of his “strangeness” is and what makes him
different from others. This novel is one of the most widely read and amazing works of Nobel Prize
winner, Orhan Pamuk.
The One Good Thing
The story is mainly about a good and generous man, Nathan Steen, who always tries to carry out
several acts of kindness every day. Before leaving the house every morning, Nathan puts six small stones
in his pocket and uses those stones to remind him to follow the Golden Rule, moving a stone from one
pocket to the other with each act of kindness. The novel is truly a sad story full of sorrow, kindness,
beauty and inspiration at the same time.
The Innocent
The story is set in Berlin during the Cold War, near the border of the Western and Eastern sectors.
The Innocent of the title is a young Englishman, Leonard Marham, who is sent to Berlin to work on a plan

Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an
incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me
that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in
the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound
than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own
private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fear at being captured( 捕获),
the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with
myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back yard, and on the second day, my new pet’s mother flew to the cage
with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly,
the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my pet was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the
cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I
thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me
crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young
in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in
prison.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a
right to live free.
24．Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A. He had just got a new cage. B. He wanted it to sing for him.
C. He liked its beautiful feather. D. He wanted a pet for a companion.
25．The mockingbird died because it ______.
A. was frightened to death. B. refused to eat anything.
C. drank the poisonous water by mistake. D. ate the poisonous food its mother gave it.
26．The underlined word “ornithologist” probably means?
A. a schoolmaster B. a kind person
C. an expert in birds D. a religious person
27. What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A. All birds put in a cage won’t live long.
B. Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.
C. You should keep the birds from their mother.
D. Be careful about food you give to baby birds.
C
Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather
forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show
how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV
programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find
their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually
35,880 kilometers above the equator(赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to
stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—
exactly the same speed that the earth spins. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线) facing
the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, So there are little rockets on it which are used to put
the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A
satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by
astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left
in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear
power and they can crash into each other.
28. What’s the speed the earth rotates at?
A. 11,000 kilometers per hour.
