26、Literature is the body of written works produced by scholars and researchers, who specialize in a given field. Why is literature important? Let’s see.

Literary works are descriptions of the thinking patterns and social criteria. They’re a description of the different aspects of common people’s life. 【1】 They also encourage imagination and creativity. Exposing oneself to good literary works is like providing one with the finest educational opportunities. On the other hand, the lack of exposure to good literature is equal to depriving(剥夺)one of the opportunity to grow.

Some of the great literary works provide society with the guiding principles of life. Works by poets like Homer, Plato, Sappho, Horace and many more are timeless. 【2】 The Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, A Tale of Two Cities, and James Bond series are some of the best-selling books of all time that have entertained several generations.

There are also great works in children’s literature. Amused by the stones they tell, kids associate themselves with these books’ characters and idealize some of them. Moral stories are an aid for parents and teachers to let the kids learn important lessons in life. Aesop, Enid Blyton, and Mark Twain are some of the most widely popular children’s authors. 【3】

True, languages are the building blocks of literature. But the study of literature cannot be restricted to only studying languages. 【4】 A degree in language and literature perhaps can’t provide one with everything literature can offer. Its scope(范围)is so deep and wide that even a lifetime may not be enough to really study literature.

【5】 Great literary and poetic works help a person take a closer look at the different aspects of living. In many ways, literature, in its different forms, can change one’s attitude towards living.

A．Literature helps understand life.

B．Literature has an effect on health and wealth.

C．They have enriched the childhoods of so many.

D．Classical literary works serve as food for thought.

E．In fact, literature can’t be limited to an educational course.

F．They have always amused their readers and will continue to.

G．Instead, literature lays the foundation of a wealthy life, adding “life” to “living”

27、Rich and Famous

Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today’s situation is quite different. 【1】 Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor—in other words, they hope to become a celebrity .

According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 【2】 Let’s take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 【3】The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.

In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.【4】They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.

While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 【5】 That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won’t realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.

A. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.

B. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.

C. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.

. The younger generation don’t favor these professions any more.

E. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people’s life.

F. The reason is that they don’t realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

G. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.

28、   Negative thinking is one of the biggest obstacles(障碍) we face in experiencing happiness, but there's hope. Here are two strategies to help defeat your negative thinking.

【1】When you're heading into a social gathering, you begin to wonder what if I don't connect with anyone. Am I even likable? Faced with this situation, do something that lifts your mood.【2】 For example, listen to a song that makes you smile or take a moment to appreciate people in your life who love you. Positive emotions literally undo the effects of anxiety by lowering our heart rate and muscle tension.

The other is to combat(战斗). 【3】 But in reality, our minds feed us messages that range from the embellished(渲染的) truth to total lies. Imagine yourself in court. You are the prosecutor(控方律师), and your negative thought is the defendant(被告).【4】When he shouts out “You're not good enough at your job”, you need to consult the evidence you have to prove it wrong, argue back with the strongest piece of evidence you can find. Always remember your task is to get the judge to hear your side. So you can say “I am good enough because every performance review I've had has been positive. And my boss told me last week how much she enjoyed working with me. “In a nutshell, bring your best version of a tough lawyer to that courtroom. Convince the judge that the negative thought doesn't deserve attention.

Both of these strategies, to distract and combat, are skills anyone can learn and get better at with practice.【5】

A.He's guilty, but he insists that he's not guilty and sticks to his story.

B.Therefore, negative thinking is one of the biggest problems lots of us suffer from.

C.Remember, with each negative thought you defeat, you’ve successfully earned your own happiness.

D.That is, generate a positive emotion.

E.We often believe that our negative thinking is true.

F.There's simply no point focusing on the negative aspect of everything.

G.One is to distract.

29、Guan Moye, better known as Mo Yan, is a Chinese novelist and short story writer. He has been referred to by Donald Morrison of U.S. news magazine, TIME, as “one of the most famous and widely pirated（盗版）of all Chinese writers”. He is best known to Western readers for Red Sorghum Clan（红高粱家族）, which was later adapted for the film, Red Sorghum. In 2012, Mo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Mo Yan was born in Gaomi County, Shandong Province. He was 11 years old when the Cultural Revolution started, at which time he left school to work as a farmer. At the age of 18, he began to work at a factory. During this period, his access to literature was largely limited to novels.

At the close of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, Mo joined the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and began writing. During this period, the works of Chinese literature, as well as translations of foreign authors such as William Faulkner, made an impact on his works. In 1984, he received a literary award from the PLA Magazine, and at the same year he began attending the Military Art Academy, where he first used the pen name of Mo Yan. “Mo Yan” means “don’t speak” in Chinese. He explained that the name came from a warning from his father and mother about not saying what he thought when he was outside. It also related to the subject matter of his writings.

Mo’s first novel was Falling Rain on a Spring Night, published in 1981. Several of his novels were translated into English by Howard Goldblatt, professor of East Asian languages and literature, at the University of Notre Dame. He published his first novella（中篇小说）, A Transparent Radish, in 1984, and released Red Sorghum Clan in 1986, making him a nationally recognized novelist. Five years later, he obtained a Master’s degree in literature from Beijing Normal University.
