"A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right ," says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audi?ence for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion,it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (讓人愉快) ,Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said ' Nonsense,Mollie,dear,you'll be a writer. ' So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自傳體的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood in?evitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with butter?cup meadows and strawberry fields―sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back," she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books in Scotland," she said, "I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village black?smith at work. And that's important,because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them,as it did for us."

(   ) 5. What does Mollie Hunter's opinion about the nature of a good book?

   A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

   B. It should be attractive to young readers.

   C. It should be based on original ideas.

   D. It should not include too much conversation.

(   ) 6. In Mollie Hunter's viewpoint,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

   A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.

   C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.

(   ) 7. In comparison with children of earlier years,Mollie feels that modern children are

   A. more intelligent   B. better informed

   C. less eager to learn   D. less interested in reality

(   ) 8. What's the writer's purpose in writing this text?

   A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.

   B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.

   C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.

   D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.

My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice,recommended by many Eng?lish teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was some?what disastrous"艮糟的) .Stumbling (搖搖晃晃的) along the lines,I had great difficulty in under?standing the novel,let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me,but rather the way Austen constructs sentences,and her way of thinking,which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his concise (簡明的) and straightforward style. So my first suggestion is,as a beginner,you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. You can easily engage yourself in reading,get fun out of it,and gradually build up confidence. I do not mean to exclude (不在考慮之列) classi?cal novels for ever. Actually,the second reading of Pride and Prejudice greatly pleased me (probably the result of my improved English comprehension) . It is only that classical novels are less accessible (易接近的) to beginners due to their language styles and social background. I'd like to recommend three contemporary novelists to you―Ursula Le Guin,Ernest Hemingway,and Doris Lessing.

However,reading novels is not the only way to improve your English. In fact,if you re?strict yourself to novels,you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you,entertain you,and refine your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain,yet you cannot help feeling the elegance (雅致) and the peculiar sense of hu?mor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion―essays are indispensable (必不可少的) .

My last advice is never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly,however fa?mous or influential the person might be. We should be open to various ideas,but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes,one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind,we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.

(   ) 5. What does the underlined phrase "let alone" mean in the first paragraph?

   A. Lacking companions.

   B. On your own.

   C. Not to mention.

   D. Without anybody or anything else.

(   ) 6. What is a shortcoming of restricting yourself only to novels according to the author?

   A. The value of novels is really limited.

   B. The style of novels is not worth appreciating.

   C. We may overleap many other worthy treasures in reading.

   D. We can't enjoy ourselves while reading novels.

(   ) 7. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

   A. Sharing some experiences on how to choose the appropriate books,especially as a beginner.

   B. English essay is another treasure to improve your English.

   C. We shouldn't follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly.

   D. We'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.

(   ) 8. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

   A. It Is Not Enough for One to Understand the Novel

   B. To Cultivate One's Taste in English Prose,the Most Effective Way Is to Read English Books Extensively

   C. Reading English Novels Can Also Improve One's English

   D. We Shouldn't Restrict Ourselves to Reading

  Like most kids,you probably don't spend much time worrying about heart disease. After all,hypertension tends to become more common as people reach middle age and older. But doc?tors say it's never too early to start thinking about your heart or about salt.

  Blood pressure has been going up over the past decade in children and teenagers in the United States and many European countries. And a kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grownup with hypertension.

  Cutting down on salt might help stop the cycle. In one recent study,researchers from the United Kingdom analyzed 10 trials involving nearly 1,000 kids. The trial results showed that lowering sodium intake by 40 to 50 percent led to a significant decrease in blood pressure,even in infants.

  Reducing salt might also help fight childhood obesity,a growing public health problem. British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking less soda makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.

  And salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A study published in October found that a growing number of kids in the U. S. are suffering from an illness called kidney stones. This painful condition used to mostly affect people in their40s and older. Now,kids as young as 5 are getting it.

  The kidneys are responsible for filtering salt out of the bloodstream. So researchers think that kids' eating too much salt and not drinking enough water are partly to blame for the trend.

(   ) 5. What's the main idea of the passage?

   A. Hypertension is the most popular disease among adults.

   B. People should reduce salt and sugary soft drinks.

   C. People should begin thinking about salt at present. .

   D. Salt will affect your heart and weight.

(   ) 6. If you want to lower the risk of getting heart attack,you'd better         .

   A. drink less and eat less every day if possible

   B. avoid eating too much salt but drink more soft drinks

   C. take regular examinations in the hospital

   D. reduce nearly half of the amount of the salt you take

(   ) 7. The whole text is developed by         .

   A. space   B. evidence   C. time   D. importance

(   ) 8. What may partly cause children to get kidney stones?

   A. Eating too much salt and drinking little water.

   B. Eating too much and doing little exercise.

   C. Sleeping too much and putting on weight.

   D. Taking in too much salt and fat.
