A
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.
B
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.
