21、Four Recommended Books This Year

Summer

Author: Ali Smith

Price: £16. 99

Ali Smith’s Summer continues the interplay between the past and modern society that marks out her works as insightful. The top of a hugely ambitious and fast-paced literary project that aims to display big events of 2020 — Brexit, global COVID-19 pandemic, immigration detention centers, homelessness and the murder of George Floyd — with burning immediacy, Summer is one of the absolute must-reads.

Actress

Author: Anne Enright

Price: £16. 99

A beautifully realized novel of mother-daughter relationships and the dark side of fame and adulation (盲目崇拜), Actress skillfully unpacks the secrets and lies of a well-known theatre performer and the effects of her bad fame on the child who admired her. With a sharp eye for female interaction and familial meaning, Actress finds the former Booker Prize winner on excellent form.

Grown Ups

Author: Marian Keyes

Price: £20. 00

There are few writers as capable of showing the frictions of family life with as much humor and accuracy as Marian Keyes and her latest sees her on flashing form.

Redhead by the Side of the Road

Author: Anne Tyler

Price: £14. 99

Redhead by the Side of the Road is both a deliciously perfect love story and a character study of a lovable eccentric (古怪的人), stuck in his ways. Showing the emotional warmth that has made her both a critical darling and a beloved popular author, Anne Tyler is at her winning best.

23、Most stars are invisible against the overhead glare from city lights. At best, there is only a bit of the Milky Way to see: the combined radiance of a hundred billion stars dims (暗淡) to near-nothingness by bright streetlamps and storefronts.

This is light pollution-human-generated light cast up into the heavens-causing the sky itself to glow and washing out the stars. Astronomers have known for years the situation is bad for observing stars, but it also has real and negative effects on the well-being of many living things-plants, animals and even human beings. More than 80 percent of humanity is affected by light pollution, their view of the skies being stolen away.

All this extra light at night has a large effect on the life under it. Researchers have shown that it has negative impacts on many animals and plants; light pollution disturbs the great migrations of birds, the delicate blossoming of flowers, and even the courtship (求偶) of fireflies, etc. It affects humans as well, possibly causing insomnia (失眠) among many other health problems.

So what can we do about our brightening skies? There is a lot already happening. Groups like the International Dark Sky Association, or IDA, advocate not for more lighting but for more intelligent lighting; smarter street lights that concentrate their light downward is one example. Because these lights offer more efficient light, they save energy, too, eventually paying for themselves. The IDA offers advice on how to contact local authorities to fix better equipment and create ordinances to lower pollution. Many cities in the United States and other countries are certified Dark Sky Communities (DSC), ones that have shown “exceptional devotion to the preservation of the night sky” by discouraging wasteful lighting practices.

Many people don’t even know that they-and their children-are losing this cosmic (宇宙的) experience just over their heads. We need the dark night sky, and it’s up to all of us to make sure it’s still there every time the sun goes down.

【1】How does the author organise Paragraph 3?

A．By listing figures.

B．By giving examples.

C．By following the order of time.

D．By analyzing cause and effect.

【2】What does the underlined word “ordinances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Surveys.

B．Jobs.

C．Wonders.

D．Regulations.

【3】What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A．The importance of the dark night sky.

B．The urgency of having cosmic experience.

C．The necessity of solving the problem of light pollution.

D．Our children’s responsibility to fight light pollution.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Light Pollution Is Dimming Our View of the Sky

B．IDA Is Advocating Much Smarter Street Lights

C．DSC Has Shown Devotion to Preserving the Night Sky

D．The Applications of Intelligent Lighting Are Worldwide

24、   A few years ago, David, a top manager, thought his life wasn’t moving forward. So he started to set himself 30-day challenges. The idea was simple: think of something you want to add to your life-or to give up-and try it every day for 30 days.

David began with easy projects like going to work by bike, not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he tried more difficult ones, like writing a novel in 30 days.

He learned that he could do something if he really wanted to do it. After doing the challenges for a few months, he had enough confidence to climb the highest mountain in Africa.
