21、If you missed the best books last year, there’s time to catch up between new releases.

Four Hundred Souls

A unique collection, Four Hundred Souls is a new way to learn history. Ninety African American writers each wrote the 400-year history using a five-year period. Each writer chose their own method ranging from short stories to sharp arguments. The works were edited by X. Kendi and N. Blain. Read together, it’s a story of history from 1619 told through varying perspectives and styles.

Set Boundaries, Find Peace

From the desk of licensed cousultant and relationship expert Tawwab, Set Boundaries, Find Peace should be required reading for every people-pleaser. The guide defines the term “healthy boundaries” within the context of real communication and backed by research and best practices in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). It is a must-read for the overburdened work- from-home employees always working.

Harlem Shuffle

From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Whitehead, Harlem Shuffle is a historical fiction novel set in 1960s Harlem. The initial impression is a crime novel against the background of historic New York City. But as the pages turn, the underlying family story reveals commentary on morality and social power. With the pace of a crime novel and the depth of a psychology essay, it’s a book that’s sure to keep you going once you get into it.

The Other Black Girl

With a television adaptation with Hulu already signed, The Other Black Girl, the first novel from New York author Harris, is set in a shared workplace where two black colleagues face increasingly tense conditions that rapidly threaten more than their careers.

22、As they migrate(迁移), butterflies and moths(飞蛾) choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.

Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.

To their surprise, though, the insects weren’t passive but active travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate(导航) directly to their wintering homes.

Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn’t always go with the flow. If breezes weren’t blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(抵消). Many migrating birds do the same thing.

The study also found butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications.

With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.

【1】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Insects migrate with the seasons

B. Wind helps insects greatly in migrating

C. insects have real direction

D. Scientists have trouble in observing insects

【2】Scientists originally thought that   .

A. insects always waited for their favorable winds

B. insects chose the winds they wanted to ride

C. insects were just blown about by the wind

D. insects positioned themselves in the winds

【3】It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because   .

A. the little creatures can fly very fast

B. their flight is long and high above ground

C. the wind’s direction is hard to foresee

D. they have no regular migrating courses

【4】According to the passage, the findings can   .

A. increase insects in number

B. instruct farmers when to spray

C. prevent climate warming

D. help protect insects

23、Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?

A study of 1,000 British people has been done by Chris, a British professor and director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service in the UK. It looked at the six most common sleeping positions and which personalities tend to match them. Have a look.

1. Fetus (胎儿) position – This is the most common sleeping position. About 41 percent of the participants said they sleep in this position. These sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive (敏感的) and shy. The more they curl (蜷缩) up, the more worried they are.

2. Log position (树干睡姿) – This is the second most common position. People who sleep like a log are usually stubborn.

3. Yearner position (向往型睡姿) – This position says that you are open-minded and eager (急切的) to face challenges.

4. Soldier position – These sleepers lie on their backs with their arms down and close to the body. They are usually reserved and quiet.

5. Freefall position – People who sleep in this position are outgoing (外向的) but feel a lack of control in their lives. This is the least comfortable position.

6. Starfish position – People who sleep like this are good listeners, helpful, and uncomfortable being the center of attention.

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Sleeping position decides personality.

B. Sleeping position reflects personality.

A. Fetus   B. British people

C. People surveyed D. Sleepers

24、Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.

The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD．

The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”.

The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.

While the time span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.

One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.

Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.

“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.

【1】What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization?

A．Their starting time.

B．Their historical origins.

C．Their cultural symbols.

D．Their ceremony traditions.

【2】The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ________.

A．silk was a common clothing material then

B．some technologies were developed much earlier

C．the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed

D．the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact

【3】What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins?

A．Damp weather.

B．Positioning of ruins.

C．High latitude.

D．Language barriers.

【4】What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph?

A．Our cultural knowledge is increasing.

B．The benefits of speaking a different language.

C．The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.

D．The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
