Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造签字者), was as good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he make some money by selling his small but genuine of early U.S. autographs (亲笔签字). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ban Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To make less the chance of detection (发觉), he sent his forgeries (伪造物) to England and Canada for sale and circulation (销售).

Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.

In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's economic problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eye experts the difficult task of separating this forgeries from the originals.

1.Why did Spring sell his autographs in England and Canada?

A．There was a greater demand there than in America.

B．There was less chance of being detected there.

C．Britain was Spring's birthplace.

D．The price were higher in England and Canada.

2.After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for _______.

A．Southern money

B．signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin

C．Southern manuscripts and letters

D．Civil War battle plans

3.Robert Spring spent 15 years _______.

A．running a bookstore in Philadelphia

B．corresponding with Miss Fanny Jackson

C．as a forger

D．as a respectable dealer

4.According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to _______.

A．sharp-eyed experts                      B．persons who aren't experts

C．book dealers                           D．owner of the old books

5.Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?

A．The only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson.

B．A little-known girl who sold her father's papers to Robert Spring.

C．Robert Spring's daughter.

D．An imaginary person created by Spring.

How to Have a Good Weekend

People are pretty stressed out. 1.. Below are some relaxation tips and a few hints on how to have a good weekend.

2.. The rules for phone use over the weekend can be helpful. Maybe check your phone for texts or emails only once an hour, instead of all the time. Or turn off push notifications(通知) on your phone when you’re not working. If you want to be really daring, try leaving your phone at home during certain weekend activities, or even leaving it on airplane mode during brunch or a hang with friends.

Try treating your weekend like a mini-vacation. 3.. People who do this stay in bed a little longer, or hug their special someone a little more, or spend a little more time eating and less time on housework and job responsibilities. The weekend-as-vacation mindset helps you be more connected to the present moment.

Beat the “Sunday fears” by planning something fun. A lot of us fall into the trap of saving weekend work we have to complete for Sunday evening, which means the last part of our weekends can be pretty stressful and feel a lot like, well, Monday. To avoid those “Sunday fears,” maybe get those few hours of work done at some other point during the weekend, so that the last thing you do during your weekend can be something actually fun. 4..

Focus on making new memories, rather than just discussing the workweek again. We should stop viewing it as opportunities to talk about old days, but instead as opportunities to make new memories and learn things about the people you care about that you didn’t know before. Ask questions that go beyond “how was your week?” Maybe ask your friends to tell you a memory of their first date, 5., or what superhero they’d be and why. Anything is Ok but work.

A.Use your phone as you like

B.This actually changes our behaviors

C.Take some time away from your phone

D.or you quitted the job last week and why

E.But they don’t know how to relax themselves

F.It will make the start of the next week much better

G.or the story of their favorite song and why they love it

I thought I was pretty good at teaching myself—until I read Tara Westover’s Educated. Her ability to learn on her own blows my right out of the water. I was thrilled to sit down with her recently to talk about the book.

Tara was raised in a Mormon survivalist home in rural Idaho. Her dad had very non mainstream views about the government. He believed doomsday was coming and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. As a result, she didn’t step foot in a classroom until she was 17, and major medical crises went untreated. (Her mother suffered a brain injury in a car accident and never fully recovered).

Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard from a young age, none of them received any kind of proper homeschooling. She had to teach herself algebra and self-studied for the ACT, which she did well enough on to gain admission to Brigham Young University. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in intellectual history from Cambridge University.

Educated is an amazing story and I get why it’s spent so much time on the top of the New York Times bestseller list. It reminded me in some ways of the Netflix documentary Wild. Wild Country, which I recently watched. Both explore people who remove themselves from society because they have these beliefs and knowledge that they think make them more enlightened. Their belief systems benefit from their separateness, and you’re forced to be either in or out.

But unlike Wild, Wild Country—which revels in the strangeness of its subjects. Tara is never cruel, even when she’s writing about some of her father’s most fringe beliefs. It’s clear that her whole family, including her mom and dad, is energetic and talented. Whatever their ideas are, they pursue them.

Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. It’s the kind of book that I think everyone will enjoy, no matter what genre you usually pick up.

1.What does the author think of Tara’s self-teaching?

A.unbelievable B.not bad C.doubtable D.impossible

2.Which of the following about Tara’s family is true?

A.There are altogether six children in the family.

B.Tara’s dad often holds mainstream beliefs about the government.

C.They are a Mormon family living in the urban area of Idaho.

D.Tara did not receive formal education until 17.

3.Why does the author mention Wild, Wild Country in the text?

A.To highlight that Educated is an amazing story worth reading.

B.To analyze the content of it.

C.To show that Educated is one the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

D.To introduce a documentary to the reader.

4.What genre does Educated belong to?

A.novel B.science fiction C.biography D.news report
