22、Rachel Hore’s fascinating novels move between the past and the present. Her latest The House on Bellevue Gardens is set in London now and in the early 1960s.

Best-selling author Rachel Hore’s previous novels include The Glass Painter’s Daughter, which was shortlisted(入围) for the 2010 Romantic Novel of the Year award, and A Gathering Storm, which was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award.

Here, she shares three books that made an impact on her life.

Orlando

by Virginia Woolf

Reading Orlando for the first time in my late teens gave me a wonderful sense of freedom and the possibilities that a life full of books can offer. Forever young, Orlando possesses “the strength of a man and a woman’s grace”.

He lives through four centuries and has many disguises; sometimes he even changes his gender.

It was an excellent literary work through history that excited and inspired me.

Flight Behaviour

by Barbara Kingsolver

I’ve read many of Barbara Kingsolver’s novels, including her well-known The Poisonwood Bible, admiring how easily she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world, of which humanity is a dependent part.

I particularly love Flight Behaviour because she engages the reader easily with an ambitious subject for fiction — climate change.

Her story makes us all care about what we are doing to our world.

The Hawk in the Rain

by Ted Hughes

We were given The Thought Fox to read at school and I was so deeply impressed with its central image of the fox in the snow inspiring the poem that I spent that week’s money on the book it appears in. I read and re-read it and was amazed!

I loved the writer’s technique of description, as well as the energy, the violence and the sensuousness (敏感) of those poems.

Everyone should have their ‘discovery of poetry’ moment, and mine was Ted Hughes.

【1】Which of the following books was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award?

A．The House on Bellevue Gardens.

B．The Glass Painter’s Daughter.

C．A Gathering Storm.

D．Flight Behaviour.

【2】Which book did Rachel Hore read when she was in her late teens?

A．Flight Behaviour.

B．Orlando.

C．The Poisonwood Bible.

D．The Hawk in the Rain.

【3】For what does Rachel Hore admire Barbara Kingsolver?

A．The topic of her novel.

B．How she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world.

C．How her novels excite and inspire readers.

D．Her technique of description.

23、Have you ever said to yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow“? 【1】When people delay action or put off decisions in this way, we call it procrastination. Sometimes it can be a good time management strategy to “do it later, ” especially if we are tired or waiting for something to make the job easier. However, procrastination is actually more than just practical time management.

Procrastination happens when a person has difficulty managing negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom, and stress. It is very easy for procrastination to become a habit, and many people try hard to break away from the cycle of guilt and shame that it can create. 【2】 Here is some useful advice to help us deal with it:

Use a calendar

Planning out time for everything you want to do will help you stay organized. 【3】 This can allow you extra time in case an emergency occurs.

Break big projects into small pieces

【4】 So it’s better to take things step by step. “Do the housework“ sounds like a big task, but if you begin with “do the dishes” and then move on to “do the laundry, ” it might not seem so hard.

Reward and forgive yourself

People get caught up in being perfect. 【5】 If you provide a small reward at the end of a project, it can help you finish what you start. Also, it will give you something to look forward to. Even when you don’t succeed, remember to be kind to yourself. When you’re ready, try again!

A．And have you ever said that three or four days in a row?

B．Procrastination is a serious problem for students and office workers.

C．This can really get in the way of finishing a task.

D．It can be challenging to think about how much there is to do.

E．You can avoid procrastination by pushing a deadline up to get ahead of schedule.

F．The good news is that it can be managed with some willpower and help.

G．How often do you put off what you should do today until tomorrow?

24、   More young Chinese are making preparations for their future by buying life and medical insurance, Chen Meiling reports. Jessie Dong, 30, sent her life insurance policy to her mother, which says, if she dies before 50, family members will get a compensation (补偿)of 3 million yuan (S458,820).

Recently, the only child of her mother's colleague died at the age of 35, and all that was left to his lonely, old parents was sorrow. Dong, a researcher of social science in Beijing, says she doesn't want such a tragedy (悲剧) to happen, and hopes to be able to support her family even if she is gone. Buying insurance became one of her wisest choices.

She pays about 350 yuan every month for the life insurance, and about 300 yuan annually for critical illness insurance with coverage of 4 million yuan, in case she runs out of money for “having to treat a serious disease someday” "It's a good way to face the unpredictable risks of life with a small amount of money. Of course hopefully I won't use it," she says, adding she purchased insurance on Alipay, as she is too busy to visit insurance companies in-person, and she plans to continue investing (投资)in it.

The younger generation, those born in the 1990s, in China is showing a higher interest in buying insurance, driven by the increased awareness of crisis and a willingness to improve risk resistance ability, experts say. The fact that  more people  get severe diseases at a younger age or feel their worse health condition, as well as uncertainties brought about by   the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病) to both their personal lives and on a Socio-economic level, also strengthens anxiety and is contributing  to the trend.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A．The young are afraid of dying.

B．Jessie Dong’s mother has passes away.

C．Jessie gain a large sum.

D．Buying life  insurance’s popular with the young.

【2】How does Dong get the life insurance?

A．By WeChat.

B．By Alipay.

C．In cash.

D．By Taobao.

【3】What are the young uncertain about due to the COVID-19 pandemic?

A．Their serious diseases and poor health.

B．Their higher interest and awareness of crises.

C．Their life of high quality and living standard.

D．Their personal lives and socio-economic level.

【4】What's the best title of the passage?

A．A Future Plan

B．A Good Choice

C．A Health Investment

D．A Large Company
