Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they're also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sistersEri, 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 GirlGillian FynnThere 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.

People have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. Smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation.Although it might seem like a good time, looking at your cellphone may damage your mental power, according to a recent psychological study from Rutgers University in the United States.For the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles. Halfway through the task, the students were divided into three groups. One group was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online. The second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer. The last group didn't take any break at all.Interestingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue. They also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.The cellphone group took 19 percent longer to finish the rest of the task, and solved 22 percent fewer problems than those in the other break conditions combined.Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break - but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks."Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, access to ever-refilling information and more, in ways that are different than how we use other screens like computers, and laptops/9 Kurtzberg told Science Daily.This is echoed （口乎应）by a 2017 study from the US University of Chicago. It found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity （认知能力）.50, during your next break, try putting your smartphone away. Go out for a walk, get to know your classmates or even take a nap （小憩）.You may be surprised by the result.4. What did the study find about using cellphones during breaks?A. It could make people more motivated at work.B. It could reduce one's ability to solve problems.C. It could be beneficial both physically and mentally.D. It could affect one's relationships with others.5. What does the underlined word “activate” probably mean in paragraph 7?A. motivateB. associate.C. appreciateD. imitate.6. What can we learn about cellphones from Kurtzberg's words?A. They may influence people in the same way as computers do.B. They may make it hard for people to concentrate on work. C Their negative influence is almost impossible to avoid.D. They have become a necessary part of people's lives.7. What does the author suggest people do during break time?A. Turn off their cellphones.B. Keep their cellphones face down.C. Replace cellphones with laptops.D. Keep their cellphones out of sight.CThe Himalayas, which stretch some 2,450 kilometers between China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, and Nepal, are the world's tallest mountain range. In addition to Mount Qomolangma, the world's tallest mountain by peak elevation standing 8,848.86 meters tall, the range also features several other mountain peaks over 8,000 meters. It is the first mountain range to have mountains over 8,000 meters - the runner-up is a mountain range in Asia, whose tallest peak is 8,611 meters tall.Millions of years ago, these mountain peaks didn't exist. The Asian continent was mostly complete, but India was an island floating off the coast of Australia. Around 150 million years ago, around the time when Gondwanaland was breaking apart, India started to move northwards. It traveled some 6,000 kilometers before it finally hit Eurasia around 50 to 55 million years ago. Then, part of the Indian landmass （陆块）began to go beneath the Asian one, moving the Asian landmass up, which resulted in the rise of the Himalayas. It's thought that Indian coastline was denser and more firmly attached to the seabed, which is why Asian softer soil was pushed up rather than the other way around.The mountain range grew very rapidly in comparison to most mountain ranges, and it's actually still growing today. Mount Qomolangma and its fellows actually grow by approximately a centimeter or so every year. The Appalachian Mountains in North America, which developed some 300 million years ago or more, are actually decreasing in peak elevations as they erode （风化）.The continued growth in the Himalayas is likely due to the Indian tectonic （地壳构造的）plate still moving slowly but surely northwards. We know the plate is still moving in part because of the frequent earthquakes in theregion.8. What do the underlined words “the runner-up in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The fastest.B. The lowest.9. What led to the formation of the Himalayas?A. The long coastline of India.C. The firm attachment of Asia to the seabed.10. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?C. The most popular. D. The second tallest.B. The fast movement of India.D. The meeting of India with the Asian continent.A. Most mountains in the world grow rapidly.B. The Appalachian Mountains have soft soil.C. Mount Qomolangma will be about one meter taller in a century.D. The Appalachian Mountains were once taller than the Himalayas.11. What will happen to the Himalayas in the future?A. It will continue to grow.B. It will move southwards.C. It will attract more tourists.D. It will have fewer earthquakes.DToni Morrison was an American writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her novels Beloved, Song of Solomon and others explored the way African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed （受困扰的）with skin color. Morrison was nearly 40 when she published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as language itself, a language she wants to liberate from race.

Consistently bullied for her dark skin and made to feel ugly and unloved, Pecola prays for the miracle of blue eyes a characteristic of white American beauty. As a result of this impossible desire, Pecola life begins to collapse. Several publishers rejected this book but it impressed The New York Times, book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”.In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved, which is based on the true story of an African- American enslaved woman. It became a best-seller and was later made into a film with Oprah Winfrey. Many Americans admired her as the country's greatest living writer, including fbnner President Barack Obama.
