21、Books That Remind Me of Home

Being in another country makes you appreciate all the things you love about your home. Reading and sharing books helps me to connect with my home country, the UK.

Here are some books that, for me, create vivid memories of home.

Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster

This book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a girl, Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. It reminds me of my home and my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson-Burnett

Have you ever read a description of a rural (乡村的) area that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who discovers a secret garden.

The Railway Children by E. Nesbit

This was one of my favourite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It follows three children and their adventures living next to a railway.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

This is a science-fiction novel about a man’s adventures in space after the destruction of Earth. It is creative and has a very British sense of humour. When I read it, I feel a strong connection to my home.

22、Shanghai Disneyland Park

Shanghai Disneyland Park, the only Disneyland Park in mainland China, has a unique Chinese style with it. It combines movie figures with Chinese elements, like the Chinese Zodiac Murals. It also offers tourists a lot of fun and excitement. There is certainly something you won’t want to miss.

Shopping & Accommodation

There are Chinese and Western restaurants and shops everywhere, so visitors don’t need to worry about where to eat. They can also take packed food and bottled water with them, while glass bottles are forbidden. Outside the park, there is Disneytown, a large-scale shopping center mixing food and entertainment. Walt Disney Grand Theater, where you can enjoy the Lion King Performance, is located there. Disneytown is open for free. If you want to visit it only, you don’t need to buy the ticket for Disneyland Park.

Visitors can book tickets on the official website or mobile app of the park or by calling 400-180-0000. Of course, tickets can be bought at the entrance, but there may be a long queue. Visitors need to show passports or ID cards to book tickets and enter.

23、   The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s. He was losing his memory.

A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.

Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.

Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.

“Why do this?” Steve wondered.

“Because she cares.” Melissa said.

Steve nodded, with tears in his eyes.

Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.

Naomi put a small recorder near the piano. Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.

“It was beautiful.” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”

Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.

Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.

Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.

Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief that he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.

Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.

Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal, songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.

In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower.”

She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.

After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.

The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.

By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.

Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.

【1】Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?

A．His music deserved to be preserved in the family.

B．She wanted to please her dying old father.

C．His music could stop his disease from worsening.

D．She wanted to make her father a professional.

【2】After hearing Steve’s playing, Naomi_________.

A．refused to make a comment on it

B．was deeply impressed by his music

C．decided to free Steve from suffering

D．regretted offering help to her friend

【3】How did Steve feel at the concert held in downtown Portland?

A．He felt concerned about his illness.

B．He sensed a responsibility for music.

C．He got into a peaceful state.

D．He regained his faith in music.

24、Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star’s career where she is trying to grow up---both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I’m super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don’t necessarily feel accomplished. I want to creat a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

【1】When was it that Selena arrived at the low-key coffee shop?

A. At ten.

B. At ten to nine.

C. At ten past nine.

【2】Which of the following statements is ture according to the second paragraph?

A. Selena went into her film career as soon as we met in the coffee shop.

B. Three famous films filmed in 2012 have shown her teen style.

C. The film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick filmed in 2012

D. Each of the three films marks Selena’s move away from her teen style.

【3】How did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?

A. She thought of playing in Disney a blessing.

B. She didn’t feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.

C. She found her not accomplished in her performance in Disney.

D. She believed her being part in Disney Channel a blessing.

【4】The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means “ _______”.

A. moved B. picked C. changed  D. informed
