Luckily, there are books for that.The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian AndersenAny reader of fairy tales knows Andersens responsible for the snowy scenes in The Snow Queen,the story of children Kay and Gerda,who must face the goddesslike woman who controls all snowflakes after Kay is kidnapped.Family Life by Akhil SharmaIts a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating to America,only to face entirely new hardships.Sharmas novel isnt entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyGo ahead and give up the movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read or reread the classic itself.You know the story:a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later feels angry with him.An American Childhood by Annie DillardDillards first book is,as its title suggests,about her change from being a selfcentered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns.Her parents are key figures in the story.One famous scene takes place during what the author calls “a big snow”,in 1950.21.Who wrote a novel about The Snow Queen?A.Annie Dillard. B.Mary Shelley. C.Akhil Sharma D.Hans Christian Andersen.22.Which novel is about an Indians family?A.The Snow Queen. B.Family Life.C.An American Childhood. D.Frankenstein.23.What do we know about Frankenstein?A.It has been adapted for movies. B.Its about the secret history.C.Its about an Indian family. D.Its a fairy tale.24.From An American Childhood, we know the main characters are _.A.selfcentered children B.adultsC.scientists D.Dillards parentsBIts never been easier to find vacant(空缺的）jobs or to apply for them nowadays.“With technology,its much easier,”says Dennis Masel,chief operating officer of a US staffing agency.Mr. Masel says PDF files,mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works.“I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a clients(客户) office,”he says.“Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process.Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click.And it is not only computers but also mobile phones.However, some employers do not trace the applications they receive.It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less unlikely to get new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.First,he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work.“By making a personal connection,you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”Second, he says,you must react quickly when you see a job you want.“For every position that you are interested in,you have to imagine that thousands of jobseekers are all coming after the same position.You have to be quick.Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”Third,use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and its really easy for me to basically in,”he says.“Put keywords in,such as the location you want to search and your experience,and get exactly what you want.”25.According to Para.1, people now change the way they work NOT because of .A.fast InternetB.PDF files C.resume D.technology26.The underlined word “disillusioned” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”A.hopeless B.encouraged C.anxious D.interested27.What can we infer from this passage?A.Every position is filled within the span of hours.B.Email notices will play important roles in job hunting.C.Mobile phones will take the place of computers in job seeking.D.Employers do not acknowledge the applications they receive online.28.By writing the passage, the author intends to_.A.highlight the stress of job huntingB.analyze the cause of failure in job huntingC.introduce some currently popular hi-tech toolsD.offer readers some useful advice about job huntingCGregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day,but not for the reason that most people would think.He isnt homeless. In fact he is trying to help the homeless.Gregory began his life as a sculptor. But he often felt that his sculpture,which just stood in rich peoples houses for years,lacked a meaningful purpose.So in 2011 he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials.The thought of creating homes for the homeless didnt occur to him until the year 2013, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp (防水布). Instead of a tarp,Gregory offered them something better:a small home with a water tank,a kitchen and a trap for waste.They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city. And soon his “Homeless Homes Project” was started.Before starting a new home, Gregory, goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins.Everything he finds is usable refrigerator doors become house doors;washing machine doors often serve as windows,and the tops of cars become strong roofs. He puts wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily.Each home takes two to three days to make.So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the citys most needy.While his small lowcost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness,they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in.They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help.Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture, where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops.“A lot of people who hear about what Im doing want to get involved,”he said.“Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together.”29.Why did Gregory turn from making sculptures to creating homes?A.He had no home to live in. B.He had to make more money.C.He lost interest in sculpture. D.He wanted to help the homeless. 30.The author mentions the story in Paragraph 3 to tell us _.A.Gregorys small homes were popular among the homelessB.how Gregory got the idea of “Homeless Homes Project”C.the homeless couple asked Gregory to produce more homesD.housing the homeless in a city was not an easy task31.What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?A.Gregory has great trouble hunting for materials for his small houses.B.t takes Gregory a long time to produce a home.C.Gregorys work requires imagination and creativity.D.Everything in the dustbins will be used in Gregorys work.32.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Gregorys project will help more homeless people.B.Gregory doesnt need to make small homes now.C.Gregorys work will completely solve the homelessness problem.D.A single person can make no difference to social problems.DTHE BRONTE FAMILYYorkshire in England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century.These were Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre and Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights.The youngest sister,Anne,was also a gifted novelist,and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sistersTheir father was Patrick Bronte，born in Ireland.He moved with his wife，Maria Bronte，and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after,Mrs Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816.Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820.Their brother Branwell was born in 1817.Left to themselves,the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely selfeducated.Branwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories.Charlotte,as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books,each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting.Therefore, they turned to writing for income.By 1847,Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily had written Wuthering Heights;and Anne had written Agnes Grey.After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher,but there was no interest shown in Charlottes book.(It was not published until 1859.) However,one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once;thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful;the other two,however,did not do so well.People did not like Wuthering Heights.They said it was too wild,too animallike.But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853.In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis(肺结核) as her sisters had.33.What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell?A.Help him write stories.
