When I was young, I left a high-school-teaching job to go graduate school again. In one of my first classes, I studied the poetry of Thomas Eliot. I felt hopeless when my high school Webster’s Dictionary tuned silent each time I tried to look up words like “estaminet” or “juvescence”. I needed a new book the Oxford English Dictionary, whose price was $300.

On a cold night, my husband and I set out for a bookstore in Atlanta. I breathlessly asked the clerk for my book, which was kept far behind the counter, paid quickly so that I would have no time to imagine people’s thoughts that I was mad, and rushed back to our truck, carrying the great weight of Oxford English Dictionary.

Don’t get me wrong: I never turn down a trip to the library, but I know that there is something mysterious and spiritual ---to own your own good books, and to spend your earthly money on a piece of heavenly art to pass it down to future generations.

I have been the recipient of many of these passed-down books. My father worked as a plumber, who was often busy repairing things like water pipes. He never made the extravagant (奢侈的) purchases as I did, but I remember his going to the Aspen Used Book store on the weekends. He would take hundreds of used books and trade them for wonderful sets of classics. He would also go in there and come out with how-to books about fixing the leaks. He would neatly arrange the classics in our basement where I, at the age of nine or ten, would spend all summer there reading Greek and Roman myths.

One day, I’ll have to leave my library, but I’m pleased to know that my children will have all my books about Southern literature and modern poetry. They might say, “Look, Mama surely loved Flannery O’Connor.” Or “I wonder why she had three copies of T.S. Eliot: Collected Poems?”

1.Why did the author feel hopeless about her high school dictionary?

A. It was out of date and of no use.

B. It failed to cover enough words.

C. It often gave wrong explanations.

D. It couldn’t offer the exact meaning.

2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. The Oxford English Dictionary was very popular.

B. The author felt it an adventure to buy the dictionary.

C. The author regretted buying the dictionary at first.

D. Few people would buy the Oxford English Dictionary.

3.What do we know about the author’s father?

A. He was inspired to read books by his daughter.

B. He loved books despite not being well educated.

C. He improved his professional skills through books.

D. He spent lots of his salary buying wonderful book.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Books at all costs

B. Father’s special bookstore

C. The Oxford English Dictionary

D. Studying the poetry of T.S. Eliot

When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped. But still, he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. “I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” he said.

The coronavirus has affected everyone’s life, especially for students. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习)are up in the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time of unprecedented (空前的) unemployment rates is no easy task.

Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, who created a “social distancing pledge” for young people. “I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention, he said. “They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were probably not watching the news.”

Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who’d signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “ Going from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated at home all day wasn’t easy, said Harycki.

We’ve definitely had times when we feel kind of bored at home,” he said. “We are very social beings and we are used to having that school experience. “

Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant they are still connected. “Part of what we are highlighting is that you might feel like you are the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.

1.What does “the uncomfortable feeling” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Andrew missed his friends on the swim team.

B.Andrew would rather go swimming than study at home.

C.Andrew hoped he could learn with his friends on the swim team every day.

D.Andrew felt lonely because of long-term learning at home due to COVID-19.

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “up in the air” in Paragraph 2?

A.Certain position is replaced. B.Projects cannot be continued.

C.Plans are developed smoothly. D.Schools are closed for the moment.

3.Which of the following statements about “social distancing pledge” is TRUE?

A.It can help young people to get together to watch news.

B.It can offer a site to share young people’s school experiences.

C.It can help reduce young students’ feeling of loneliness with mapping locations.

D.It can give young people an accurate map when they are going to hang out with friends.

4.What’s the best title for this text?

A.Social Distancing Pledge for Young Students B.Young People Fight Against COVID-19

C.A Magical Map for Young Students D.Don’t Be Afraid of Loneliness
