Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress，Miss Trunchbull，are equally funny and frightening, but they're also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Fynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension(紧张) and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds（展开） between good and evil （邪恶的）among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. 21. Who does "I" refer to in the text? A. Stephen King. B. Jo Usmar. C.Gillian Flynn. D. Roald Dahl 22. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri? A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda. C. The Stand. D. After Dark. 23. What kind of book is Gone Girl? A.A fairy tale. B.A horror story.C.A love story. D.A biography. B It wasan ordinary August afternoon. After dropping off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey., Richard Allen followed her across the yard, lifting two heavy grocery bags.And soon he stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp（黄蜂） nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (sting, sting, stung 蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door. “Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.” Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!” She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders. As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous（之前的） summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion（爆炸）. Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike （话筒）, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals （信号） were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it. Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic（惊慌）, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again. “Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Beesting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.” “Five-ten,” the center replied. Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake. At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp （抓住） him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought. 24. According to the passage, wasps are more likely to attack when _______. A. there are huge noises B. strangers are approaching C. the hottest season comes around D. the air is filled with food smell 25. Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______. A. have no after-effects B. surely lose his life C. suffer from sharper pain D. become more sensitive（敏感的） 26. Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______. A. his radio equipment was poor B. he was unable to speak clearly C. he was in a state of shock D. no one was on duty 27. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Allen, A Helpless Driver B. Wasps, Bloody Killers C. War Against Wasps D. A Race Against Death C Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin （垃圾桶）, makes you feel pretty good about yourself, right? It shouldn’t.Even when the bottles are recycled, there are all kinds of other consequences ( 后果) of swallowing( 吞咽) bottled water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense. The bottles are often filled in faraway lands, then shipped from abroad, and storedin refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap, filling a glass, and drinking up! Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided, says Peffers, “Most bottled water is just tap water.” And what comes out of your tap is carefully
