That old saying “Never say never” came to mind when I read that Harper Lee, the author of the beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, has a new book coming out in July, 2015—55 years after Mockingbird was published! The very private Ms. Lee had never followed up her highly praised first book, with a second novel. Instead, she’s following it up with a first novel. Confused? So was I! Allow me to explain.

Go Set a Watchman, was actually written before that classic volume. In the mid-1950s, Lee had completed Watchman, which features Scout Finch as a young woman from Alabama living in New York. The story follows Scout as she returns to visit her father, Atticus, the lawyer who fought racial injustice in Mockingbird.

But as Lee herself put it in a recent announcement through her publisher, “my editor, who was taken by the flashback (倒叙) to Scout’s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel from the point of view of the young Scout. I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told.” That book was, of course, To Kill a Mockingbird, and after it was released to great praise, Lee never returned to Go Set a Watchman. In fact, that earlier work was considered lost until Lee’s lawyer found a manuscript (手稿) of it.

“After much thought and hesitation I considered it worthy of publication.” said Lee. “I am amazed that this will now be published after all these years.” So the book that gave birth to To Kill a Mockingbird will now serve as its sequel (续集).

It’s safe to say that, decades after the publication of Mockingbird, millions of readers who were so touched by Ms. Lee’s second novel will be counting the days until the release of her first one.

1.When was Mockingbird published according to the text?

A. In 1950.　　 B. In 1960.

C. In 1970.　　 D. In 1980.

2.What can we know about the book of Watchman?

A. Atticus found a manuscript of the writer.

B. Atticus was a lawyer fighting racial injustice.

C. Scout Finch got to Alabama to see Atticus.

D. Scout Finch lost one of Atticus’ manuscripts.

3.What does “the book” in the fourth paragraph refer to in the writer’s opinion?

A. To Kill a Mockingbird.　　 B. Go Set a Watchman.

C. The classic volume.　　 D. Ms. Lee’s second novel.

4.The text mainly talks about 　　　　 .

A. why Ms. Lee’s first novel will become her second one

B. how Ms. Lee’s first novel differs from her second one

C. when Go Set a Watchman was actually written

D. what Ms. Lee’s two great novels really deal with

When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo’s parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.

The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren’t interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.

However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error, they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named "Lorenzo’s Oil", saved the boy’s life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.

Finally, the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.
