My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. 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 fumy 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 Flynn
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 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 between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.,today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous."I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…"Chris trips on the"-ld,"a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support."…Vote for …me …"Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’"
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves.

Coffee is an essential part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have definitely drunk a lot of it !
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar, you are presented with a tiny,bitter espresso(蒸馏咖啡).This is'normal coffee'for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. In addition, while take-away coffee is extremely popular among the British, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and,for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Typically, breakfast in a bar in Italy involves a coffee and a pastry. I have been attracted by the lovely cafes in the Italian town I'm living in. These cafes sell all sorts of mouth-watering pastries, either plain or filled with cream, chocolate, jam or Nutella,as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry full of Nutella is the perfect way to start the day. I think it's nice to head to a bar to grab a coffee and pastries for breakfast before work and it's luxury to take more time to enjoy such a breakfast at the weekend.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato(an espresso with a small amount of milk added)costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee regularly without breaking the bank.
1.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A.Espresso is very popular in Italy.
B.Italians prefer small coffees to large ones.
C. Coffee culture in Italy is very different from that in the UK.
D. Italians have more time spent in cafes than the British people.
【答案】.C
【解析】推理判断题。第二段的首句为段落主题句,本段介绍了意大利咖啡文化与英国咖啡文化的差异,故C项与本段内容相符。
2. The underlined word "pastry" in Paragraph 3 probably is______.
A.a container to provide cream
B.some attractive fruit
C.a powder to be mixed with coffee
D.a dessert served for breakfast
【答案】.D
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段第三句These cafes sell all sorts of mouth-watering pastries, either plain or filled with cream, chocolate,jam or Nutella,as well as delicious coffee.可以得知,咖啡馆不仅提供美味的咖啡,还提供各种令人饭涎欲滴的食物,或者不带馅,或者带有奶油、巧克力、果酱等馅。由此可推断此处指和咖啡一起当作早餐食用的甜点,故D项正确。
3.Which of the following best describes coffee in Italy?
A.Drinking coffee in cafes is expensive.
B. Coffee is not allowed to be taken out.
C.Italian coffee is mainly imported from the UK.
D. Coffee often comes along with other food as breakfast.
【答案】.D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段的叙述可知,在意大利咖啡经常和其他食物一起当作早餐,故D项正确。根据最后一段可知意大利的咖啡比英国的咖啡便宜很多,故排除A项;第二段提到在意大利,咖啡外卖是不常见到的,并不意味着不允许外卖,故排除B项;文章并未提到意大利咖啡是从英国进口的,故排除C项。
4 What is the author's attitude towards Italian coffee?
A.Positive.
B.Disapproving.
C.Doubtful.
D.Uncertain.
【答案】.A
【解析】推理判断题。文章介绍了意大利的咖啡文化,咖啡可作为早餐的一部分,让人们享受到快乐的时光,而且价格较低,根据文章第三段第二句I have been attracted by the lovely cafes in the Italian town I'm living in.可推断作者对意大利咖啡持有肯定的态度。

While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being "tea people". The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea became more and more popular among different social classes.
There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour,because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize(氧化)before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk,although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon.
You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers(茶托)for visitors.
Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease . The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than f1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.
Still , what goes around comes around ; it's sure to become fashionable again.
