These books contain powerful stories and practical concepts for critical thinking. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Eventually, every teen will have to put up with suffering and loneliness. This book shows how to approach even the most challenging trials of life. Angelou’s memoir ( 回忆录) of her childhood is heartbreaking, but the strength of her spirit and her optimism and hope help readers make sense of life. Maya shows us that it’s possible to develop something inside that can shine brightly, even in the darkest night. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield This book highlights a very uncomfortable truth about life: if you want to create something, you will face many difficulties. Whether it’s naysayers (唱反调者), self-doubt, or laziness, there are lots of things that will keep us from doing what we long to do. Pressfield helps us easily and clearly identify the enemy of creativity, and outlines a battle plan to defeat this enemy within. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee This is very nearly the perfect book for teenagers and a classic American novel. The story is told with such goodness (and warmth and humor) that it’s nearly universally loved. It is so powerfully written that it can actually achieve something unbelievable in its readers: it can build empathy (共情) for the “other.” And if there’s one thing teens need in today’s world, it’s more empathy. Essentialismby Greg McKeown Do you ever feel busy but not productive? Essentialism shows you how to achieve the pursuit (追 求) of less. The pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can put our time, energy, and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. 21. Which of the following is based on the author’s own life? A. Essentialism. B. The War of Art. C. To Kill a Mockingbird. D. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. 22. What is the purpose of The War of Art? A. To show how to make a battle plan. B. To explain why being creative is important. C. To show how to break through one’s barriers. D. To explain why one should stay away from naysayers. 23. Whose book should you turn to if you are troubled by low work efficiency? A. Harper Lee’s. B. Maya Angelou’s. C. Greg McKeown’s. D. Steven Pressfield’s. B American folklore (民间传说) is filled with tales of imaginaryheroes like Pecos Bill and the Lone Ranger. Yet, besides those characters, there are real historical figures whose lives and fascinating deeds were mythologized(当做神话) over the years. Among them there is an apple grower, known by the popular nickname Johnny Appleseed. This man is said to have traveled on foot across the United States, planting apple trees. Appleseed’s real name was John Chapman. Chapman was widely known by the pioneers settling in the western lands in the 1800s. And the native Indians respected him as a “white medicine man”. However, not much is known about Chapman’s early life, except that he was born in a north-eastern state in 1774 and that his mother died soon after that. It’s also said that he grew up on his father’s farm, where apple trees grew. Appleseed’s legend began when he planted his first apple trees in Pennsylvania in 1798. Then, he began traveling west. Walking for miles every day and sleeping outdoors, he planted apple trees near settlements, where he sold them to the pioneers. His apples, which were not suitable for eating due to their bitter taste, were used to make cider (苹果酒). This became a common drink for the pioneers, especially in places where clean drinking water wasn’t available. By 1806, Chapman had been given his new name, and stories about him had spread among the pioneers. Most of these focused on his survival in the wilderness. Chapman was also known for his eccentric clothing: instead of a shirt, he wore a cloth bag with holes for his head and arms, and he wore no shoes. He is also said to have carried a bag of apple seeds and have had a meal pot on his head as a hat. When Appleseed died in 1845, he had walked across three western states. And he was the owner of five square kilometers of land. Appleseed’s story was first published in an article in 1871. Yet, not all the details in this article and the ones published later were based on facts. Appleseed’s legend has grown over the years through songs, stories and plays and modern-day Disney productions. 24. What made Chapman a legendary figure? A. Planting apple trees. B. His travel adventure. C. His childhood experience. D. Inventing a drink made from apples. 25. What can we learn about Chapman’s apples? A. They were from Chapman’s farm. B. They were popular among the pioneers. C. They were not grown in America until 1806. D.
