Books to Read in Your 20s
The Kite Runner By Khaled Hosseini
As a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.
Fire fly Lane By Kristin Hannah
This is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.
Half the Sky By Nicholas Kristof
For any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.
The Little Prince By Antoine de Saint
This children's book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties, but perhaps that's what makes it a good choice. It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends.
21. Who is the writer of the book The Kite Runner
A. Khaled Hosseini. B. Kristin Hannah.
C. Nicholas Kristof. D. Antoine de Saint.
22. What can we learn about the book Firefly Lane
A. It's written by Tully and Kate. B. It talks about friendship and life.
C. It's a simple book for children. D. It's a comic book with humorous writing.
23. Which book will you read if you want to know about human rights problems
A. The Kite Runner. B. Firefly Lane.
C. Half the Sky. D. The Little Prince.
B
There is an English saying that “Laughter(笑) is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
24．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG
A．Laughter is good for health
B．Laughter can make you become old quickly
C．Laughter helps to reduce pain.
D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.
25．The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces
26．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics
A．Because they want to earn more money.
B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.
C．Because they want to improve their patients’ condition.
D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh
27．What would be the best title for this passage
A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health
B．Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition
C．Laughter can reduce the effects of pain
D．Laughter is the best medicine.
C
Popcorn Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.
This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.
The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊) needed help. One of its front paws(爪子) had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.
Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.
Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.
Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.
28. Before 1977, the center was a home for ________.
A. lost or unwanted cats and dogs B. hurt or homeless raccoons and goats
C. lost or unwanted deer and sheep D. hurt or homeless raccoons and geese
29. How did the workers in the center help the raccoon
A. They changed its front paws. B. They cured it and let it live there.
C. They sent it back to its home. D. They built another home just for it.
30. The popcorn is sold in Popcorn Park Zoo to ________.
A. treat the visitors B. reward the workers
C. trick the animals D. raise money
31. What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph
A. They all live in closed areas.
B. Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.
C. All of them are taken good care of.
D. Some of them have already returned to nature.

A．The gold medal. B．The silver medal.
C．The bronze medal. D．None.

Something happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and said, “It looks like you've got a problem.”
“I'm afraid so. I'm in a big hurry but I can't start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help " Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all. I'd be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened ” But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into a young woman in front of him. She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that " He thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I'm the bank thief!” Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run. As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, “Stop! Stop!”.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange from China. Learning that volunteer students are wanted for a Chinese painting exhibition, I am writing to apply for the position.
I think I am quite equal to the post. To begin with, having learned Chinese painting since a young age helps me develop a deep understanding of this unique art form. This makes it possible for me to explain the techniques and background of a certain painting. Besides, being fluent in both English and Chinese enables me to communicate with others without difficulty.
I would be grateful if you could take my application into consideration. Looking forward to your early reply.
