Here are four books that you can take on your trip. On the Road, 1957, by Jack Kerouac The book is a popular spiritual guidebook about youth. The main character in the book drives across the US continent with several young people and finally reaches Mexico. After the exhausting and exciting trip, the characters in the book begin to realize the meaning of life. Life Is Elsewhere, 1975, by Milan Kundera Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said, “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” The book describes a young artist’s romantic but miserable life, about how he reads, dreams and has a relationship during his trip to Central Europe. The book invites you to deeply reflect on your current life and to honor the Czech-born writer Kundera. My Name Is Red, 1998, by Orhan Pamuk The book, a masterpiece of the Nobel Prize winner for Literature Orhan Pamuk, has been translated into more than 50 languages and published around the world. It tells a story of a young man, who was away from home for 12 years, coming back to his hometown in Istanbul. What embraces him is not only love, but a series of murder cases as well. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, 2013, by Rachel Joyce The novel tells a story of a 60-year-old man who lived a boring and unhappy life, until one day, he received his old friend’s letter who got cancer. In deep shock and sorrow, he went out to send his reply letter. 627 miles in 87 days, he walked depending on one belief that “his friend can survive as long as he walks”. 21.

His poetry went on to become famous around the world. The poet died in 1796, aged 37. Burns Night began five years later when his friends gathered on what would have been his birthday, to celebrate his life. The evening was held at Burns’s former home, with events that are now traditions. These include a feast, where someone reads Burns’s famous poem Address to a Haggis（a kind of sausage）. After supper there are poetry readings, Scottish dancing and singing, including Burns’s song Auld Lang Syne. Last year, Burns Night was a bit different because of the pandemic. In Alloway, Scotland, a local radio presenter hosted a live webcast, The Burns Night In, at the house where Robert Burns was born. People across the world just enjoyed talks about the poet and Scottish music. The Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow invited 2,500 clubs, schools, and universities in 150 countries to share their plans for Burns Night on social media. They used the information to make a map of the celebrations which stretched from Antarctica to South Korea. “He’s a poet who travels very well,” said Pauline Mackay, a leading professor at Glasgow University. “He could write very seriously, but also with great humour,” she explained, adding that the song Auld Lang Syne is all about friendship and unity. In a slightly more unusual celebration, a Scottish butcher posted a short video online in which he attached a haggis to a weather balloon, flying to the edge of space. “After a year like no other, we wanted to kick off 2022 by lifting the spirits of the general public,” he said. 24. When was Burns Night first celebrated? A. On January 25th, 1759. B. On the day Burns became famous in 1784. C. On Robert Burns’s last day in 1796. D. On Robert Burns’s birthday in 1801. 25. What can we learn about the tradition of Burns Night? A. It is celebrated in Scotland each year online. B. It includes supper and poetry readings. C. It usually ends with the song Auld Lang Syne. D. It began with his poem Address to a Haggis in 1800. 26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Burns’s popularity possibly lies in his writing style. B. The Center has 2,500 clubs, schools, and societies. C. A butcher kicked off a haggis to celebrate Burns Night. D. Robert Burns traveled from Antarctica to South Korea. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Poetry of Robert Burns. B. Traditions of The Burns Night In. C. Burns Night celebrated online. D. The national poet of Scotland. C The wish to capture the wonder of nature on a smartphone or camera is understandable. People like the beauty of nature and also want to share with their followers, friends and family, but our relationship with the outdoors should not be centered around social media. The “do it for the ‘gram’” thought needs to be reconsidered.
