21、 At some point, you’ve likely encountered a long, flat time when your reserve of recommended books ran dry. Thankfully, there are personalized book recommendation websites across the Internet to save us.
WHICHBOOK
On Whichbook, book recommendations are calculated by one out of two categories: 1. Mood, or 2. Character, setting, and plot. The reader has the choice to use slides on the “Mood” section to rate what they’re looking for in a book. Do you want a book that is completely happy? Or on the border between safe and disturbing? There is also the option to select your desired character traits, the story setting, or plot points that you’d like included in the recommendation.
READGEEK
In order to get a hold of book suggestions, simply rate a few books that you’ve read on a 1—10 scale. After you finish rating as many as you’d like, Readgeek calculates which books you’d most likely enjoy based on your previous ratings.
LITERATURE MAP
At Literature Map, you can type in an author’s name and then view similar authors that other readers are enjoying. The site generates a map that displays author names in relative states of closeness. The closer the authors, the more likely other readers enjoyed both.
GOODREADS
Goodreads provides a space for people to track their reading, write reviews, and view books, lists, and authors that match their interests. When creating an account on Goodreads, the reader has the opportunity to create original book lists. Every time you view a book description that sounds interesting, you can save the book to a list of books you plan to read later.

22、Getting a driving license was once a universal passage into adulthood. But now a growing minority of young people ignore or actively oppose it, into their 20s and beyond. That starts to create more support for anti-car policies in cities around the world to pass anti-car laws, changing planning rules to favour pedestrians over drivers. After a century in which the car remade the rich world, the tide begins to swing the other way.
By 1997, 43% of America’s 16-year-olds had driving licenses. But the proportion has been falling for every age group under 40. Even those who have them are driving less. A similar trend is seen in Europe. One study of five European capitals found the number of driving trips made by working people was down substantially since a peak in the 1990s.
No one is entirely sure why young adults are proving resistant to owning a car. The growth of the interest is one obvious possibility—the more you can shop online, or stream films at home, the less need there is to drive into town. The rise of taxi apps like Uber has contributed as well. Driving generally is more expensive. Other reasons seem more cultural. One big motivator is worries about climate change.
The falling popularity of cars among the under-40s chimes with the mood among city planners and urbanists. In America, New York has banned cars from Central Park and some streets. In the past few years, dozens of American cities have removed rules that force developers to provide a certain amount of free parking around their buildings.
As the example in Oxfond shows, political opposition could put the brakes on the growth of anti-car policies. But in the parts of Europe where anti-car policies have been in place, they appear to have worked. Giulio notes that almost nowhere in the world that has removed a big road, or pedestrianised a shopping street, has decided to turn back. “Once people see, they generally don’t want to go back.” If that pattern holds, the 21st century might just see the car’s high-water mark.
【1】What do a minority of young people ignore?
A.Owing a home as a sign of adulthood.
B.Making it into the world of the rich.
C.Getting a driving license as an adult.
D.Being involved in a kind of campaign.
【2】What lead to cars’ becoming less popular?
A.Strict traffic regulations.
B.Environmental concerns.
C.Some social prejudices.
D.The use of self-driving apps.
【3】What does the underlined part “chimes with” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Agrees with.
B.Sticks to.
C.Cooperates with.
D.Emerges from.
【4】What does the example in Oxford show?
A.People are keen about banning driving.
B.Banning cars benefits city development.
C.It’s hard for young people to be drivers.
D.Anti-car policies are met with opposition.

24、We need to be conscious of the fact that people around us influence us in subtle ways that may encourage us, or keep us from moving forward. 【1】 Here are some points we need to keep in mind.
The circle of five
Motivated speaker Jim john famously said, “You're the average of the five people you spend most of your time with.” 【2】 If this “circle” of people is goal-driven, and encouraging, we can experience a positive impact on our actions. On the other hand, if the people around us are negative and restrictive, we may subconsciously “live-up” to these qualities and stunt our own personal growth in the process.
【3】
How do you identify who is influencing you? Be mindful of the conversations you have with people and the activities you engaged in with them. What are the opinions that dominate in your social group? What are the similarities between you and the five people you are constantly close to? If there is a difference between what you are and where you want to be, look at your circle of five and you will see how instrumental they are in influencing your path. Identify and exclude time and energy vampire's from you circle of five.
Nourish your circle
Once you identify the people who belong to your reference group, it is important to nourish these relationships. 【4】 Different individuals evolve at a different pace. The important part is to be aware of this living and changing “circle of five”. Of course, five is a rough guide. It could be slightly more or less. Let this circle of five motivate you, help you gain courage, and take the right actions.
