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 me parents
and the bossy headmisres, 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 Fynn
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 let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
21. Who does "I" refer to in the text?

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the
age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy
Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike
Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she
left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet
consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new
Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she
thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom - the first slave in
Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them
as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829,
but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.
Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African
American civil rights.
Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It
reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty
years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”
24. What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?
A. She was born a slave B. She was a slaveholder
C. She had a famous sister D. She was born into a rich family
25. Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys?
A. She found an employer B. She wanted to be a lawyer
C. She was hit and got angry D. She had to take care of her sister
26. What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new constitution?
A. She should always obey her owners’ orders.
B. She should be as free and equal as whites.
C. How to be a good servant.
第 6 页 共 12 页
D. How to apply for a job.
27. What did Mumbet do after the trial?
A. She chose to work for a lawyer.
B. She found the NAACP.
C. She continued to serve the Ashleys.
D. She went to live with her grandchildren.

African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) bear the unfortunate nickname “jackass penguins”
because they communicate through honking, donkey-like sounds. Laugh at them if you like, but a
new study suggests that their jackass language actually follows the same basic rules as ours.
In the study published in the journal Biology Letters, researchers recorded nearly 600
vocalizations (发声) from 28 adult male penguins living in Italian zoos. Males tend to vocalize a
lot during the mating period, which is why the researchers turned to this population. The scientists
knew from previous research that African penguins honk using three distinct types of sounds,
similar to human syllables (音节), when greeting one another, mating, or defending territory. But
the researchers wanted to know whether those “syllables” followed two common linguistic (语言
学的) rules.
One of those rules, called Zipf's law in short, was proposed in 1945 by the linguist George
Kingsley Zipf. The law states that the more frequently a word is used in any language, the shorter
it tends to be (think of words like “the” , “to” and “of” in English). Previous studies have
analyzed more than 1,000 world languages for evidence of Zipf's law, and the rule holds up in all
of them.
The other rule, known as the Menzerath-Altmann law, says that the longer a word or phrase is,
the shorter its component syllables are, while shorter words are more likely to have longer
syllables. The word “onomatopoeia”, for example, is made of six very short syllables, while
“couch” is made of one longer one. Previous studies have shown that nonhuman primates follow
both these rules when they communicate with each other, but what about jackass penguins?
The researchers of the new study found that the songs of the male jackass penguin conform to
both Zipf's and Menzerath-Altmann's laws: The shortest calls tended to be the most common, and
the longest phrases were made up of the shortest syllables. This study provided the first
nonprimate evidence that these common linguistic patterns extend into the animal kingdom, the
authors wrote, and that's nothing to hem and haw at.
28.Why did the researchers choose adult male jackass penguins?
A.They can vocalize different kinds of sounds.
B.They are more accessible than other penguins.
C.They communicate with each other through honking.
D.They make sounds frequently during the mating period.
29.What does the author try to express by mentioning the words “the”, “to” and “of” in
English?
第 7 页 共 12 页
A.George Kingsley Zipf's idea is reasonable.
B.These words are extremely simple.
C.Previous studies are very meaningful.
D.English is quite similar to other languages.
30.Which of the following fully explains what the Menzerath-Altmann law means?
A.Egg and food.
B.Contradictory and shout.
C.Learn and earn.
D.Discrimination and prescription.
31.What conclusion has the new study made?
A.Many languages follow the same linguistic rules.
B.Jackass penguins communicate with each other by honking.
C.Jackass penguins' language and the human language share the basic linguistic rules.
D.Zipf's law and Menzerath-Altmann law are commonly applied rules.
D
It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all
pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man
faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building
blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your
life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles,
they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are
going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a
different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or
freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every
problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right
beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter
what happens,they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you
need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.
32. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Paragraph 1?
A. feel shy B. stay calm C. keep up D. feel upset
第 8 页 共 12 页
33. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that______
A. problems cause troubles B. attitude is everything
C. challenges can be avoided D. personalities are built on failures
34. According to the last paragraph, when we're in trouble, we _______.
A. can only depend on our parents B. are not alone
C. should only believe ourselves D. are not confident
35. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Problems and challenges may help you know more about yourself.
B. People are able to avoid problems.
C. All problems are bad and negative.
D. You have to trust yourself and never turn to others for help.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But
you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action
where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to,
misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t
trust anymore. 37 . It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship
again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can
see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a
difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all
of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the
situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of
the good in your life. 40 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to
allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

When I was eleven years old, I had a big accident. I get scared even now when I think about
that time. I went skating near my house, There were many people, and I saw them falling on the
ice.
第 11 页 共 12 页
It was my first time to go ice skating, so I was nervous. I was wondering how to skate. I went
with a friend who was very skillful. He spent some time teaching me how to skate, but I didn't
learn much. He left me and skated all around. As soon as he left, I fell down. I envied the other
people because they could skate very well.
I was bored because I kept falling so I took off my skates and just walked around on the ice
in my shoes. It was cold and my hands were frozen.
Suddenly, I stepped on something that was not hard. What was it? It was a weak place in the
ice. When I stepped there, I sank under the ice. I thought that I was going to die, but I did my best
to grab something to get out from under the ice. I tried to grab the edge of the ice. But it was very
difficult for an eleven-year-old child.
It seemed like a very long time, like a year. Then,fortunately, someone helped me. He
grabbed my arms and pulled me up. So, I lived and I'm still alive today.
I thanked him. At that time, my friend came back. I was annoyed at him because he was
supposed to take care of me, but he didn't. He was embarrassed. When I took a taxi home, the taxi
driver was surprised and asked what happened. I didn't want to say anything because I was tried
and scared. Even now, whenever I think about that time, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to go
skating again even now.
