23、If you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the ideas shared by some great talents might help you out.
Read books from eras past // Alert Einstein
Keeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job,but Albert Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works,too.Otherwise,you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” he wrote in a 1952 journal article.
“Somebody who reads only newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns(拒绝)eyeglasses，”he wrote.
Don’t jump too quickly from book to book //Seneca
Seneca, a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher, believed that reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.“You must spend much time among a limited number of master thinkers,if you would gain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind,” he wrote.
Shop at secondhand bookstores/Virginia Woolf
In her essay “Street Haunting,” Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand bookstores,where the works “have come together in vast flocks of various feather, and have a charm which the carefully chosen books of the library lack.”
According to Woolf,looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers,who are often much more selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners.
You can skip outdated science works,but not old literature // Edward Lytton
19th-century British novelist and Parliamentarian Edward Lytton was a firm believer in the value of reading old literature.
“In science,read,by preference,the newest works;in literature,the oldest,” he wrote in his 1863 essay collection,Caxtoniana.“The classic literature is always modem.New books revive and redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and invigorate new ideas.”

24、Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite is true for men, whose longterm health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.
It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.
Women still have the strongest longterm influence over the couple's diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
The report, by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.
The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.
Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.
Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”
【1】According to the passage, moving in with a girlfriend, men ________.
A．have few changes of their dietary habits

A．women put on weight only because they want to suit their other half
B．when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habits
C．eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couples
D．it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner
【4】From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．women should pay more attention to their partner's influence on them
B．more men will play roles of shopper and cook in most households
C．couples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please their partner
D．longterm health of men benefits when they move in with a female partner
