21、 Books can't stop a global pandemic. But, for a short while, they can let us forget the world around us and transport us to different places, allowing us to travel in spirit. Here are some picks for this month:
Rohinton Mistry: A Fine Balance
Mistry's novel focuses on the lives of four central characters whose lives are on a downward spiral, from poverty to outright destitution and, ultimately, death.
Mistry does not whitewash the reality of urban poverty in India. But as readers, we become absorbed in his characters lives we hope with them, we fear for them and, at the end, we cry for them.
Elena Ferrante: Mу Brilliant Friend
Elena Ferante'r novels take us straight to the Italian city of Napoli Starting with My Brilliant Friend, the four novels chart the intensive relationship between two girl, Elena Greco (Lenù) and Raffaella Cerullo(Lila) who grow up in a poor neighborhood in the 1950s.
Reading Ferrante's description calls forth images of Napoli and makes us feel like we are standing in the Piazza del Plebiscito. We can fell, hear and smell Napoli around us.
Patrick Modiano: The Search Warrant
The Search Warrant pieces together the real-life story of Dora Bruder, a young Jewish girl who went missing in Paris in December 1941. Modiano attempts to retrace Dora's movements across Paris and his book is full of evocative descriptions of quiet squares and streets.
By tracing Dora's possible steps, Modiano evocatively recreates the twilight atmosphere of Paris under occupation.
Kazuo Ishiguro:The Remains of the Day
The Remains of the Day tells the story of Stevens, the aged butler of Darlington Hall, and his ill judged life choices that saw him being involved with British fascism in the interwar years.
This allusion to British fascism in particular is something that makes this novel stand out；it is a subject matter not often discussed or even taught.

22、There is a myth that people can see glass, but birds can’t. 【1】
Many people are injured every year. They collide with unmarked doors and windows; embarrassment is the usual result. 【2】Because of their small size and high-speed flight, they are usually killed or receive injuries that will likely kill them.
Birds can learn to avoid glass. For example, birds in zoo exhibits learn to avoid exhibit walls if the glass is marked for the first few days of their residence. 【3】But overall, birds don’t seem to be able to generalize clues that windows are present, and frequently don’t survive the first impact.
Birds hit glass because it presents a triple threat. One is that reflections of vegetation or landscape attract birds to collide with glass. 【4】Besides, glass corners or narrow passages can allow birds to see through to habitat on the other side of a building, and they die trying to fly through.
As researchers have begun to understand collisions, they are creating better approaches to reduce impacts on birds. For example, some have documented mortality(死亡) patterns and how they are influenced by lighting, the amount of glass present, the distribution of nearby vegetation, and other variables. 【5】
This science has come along way, but many questions remain unanswered. Our efforts on the testing of bird-friendly materials are helping to expand understanding of how birds sec and respond to their environment, and will lead to more effective solutions.
A．In fact, neither birds nor people can see glass.
B．Wild birds can learn about specific pieces of glass.
C．Each year up to one billion birds hit glass in the U. S. alone.
D．Therefore glass can be the invisible killer of birds in particular.
E．So architects and other professionals can design innovative bird-watching buildings.
F．Others have looked at the type of structure to identify which poses the most risk.
G．Green habitat inside buildings with see-through glass can also trick birds to their death.
23、In most of the inspiring stories, one of the messages that is repeated over and over is not to give up. Giving up is not an option if you truly want to reach your dreams. No matter what challenges you face or how many setbacks you experience or how many times you get knocked down, you mustn't give up. You need to stand strong, raise your head up, and keep pressing forward. Well, in most cases, this is great advice but sometimes, giving up is the smart thing to do. Now before you decide to just give up on your current goals, what should you do?
First of all, you have to figure out exactly why you want to achieve your goal/dream in the first place. Is it really your dream or someone else's? Is it something that you really, truly want or something you think you want because you see a bunch of other people going for the same thing?
We pursue dreams and goals to better ourselves but more importantly, we do it because we believe it will increase our level of happiness and excitement. Imagine spending years to achieve a goal, finally achieving it, and realizing you' re not any happier because it wasn't what you really wanted. So in the situation where you realize the goals/dreams you're after isn't really something you want, giving up is a good choice.
Another thing to keep in mind is that for the most part, we pursue goals for the feelings accomplishing those goals will bring us. Knowing the feelings or experience you're after can open up more options for you. If you know the feelings you' re after, you could change your focus to another goal that will give you the same feelings or experience. Just don't use this as an excuse to give up on something you actually want.

A．Pursue what you really want.
B．Keep trying until you succeed.
C．Focus on goals not on feelings.

24、Humans have little difficulty recognizing one another. And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is truly unique, and now we've invented machines that are able to recognize faces for numerous purposes.
Governments, employers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technology. This allows them to quickly confirm an individual's identity. Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a crowd of thousands of people. All that's required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.
Personal facial recognition protection has several benefits. It is instantaneous, and it relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn't, for whatever reason, recognize the user's face.
There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. Primarily, the concern is that it threatens privacy. The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing to many.
In the age of the coronavirus and the widespread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person's identity. In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data. That could affect how dependable it is as a method of identity detection.
【1】What's the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 2?
A．To further explain the importance of facial recognition.
B．To describe the powerful functions of facial recognition.
C．To list in detail various advantages of facial recognition.
D．To state the unique advanced features of facial recognition.
【2】Why are some people worried about the cameras?
A．The cameras may be occasionally out of order.
B．Too many cameras disturb people's daily life.
C．People's personal life might be exposed to others.
D．The cameras make law-abiding citizens feel stressful.
【3】In what aspect will facial recognition systems be improved?
A．Getting more accurate with less information.
B．Becoming faster with more facial data.
C．Protecting personal information if necessary.
D．Responding more quickly to unexpected events.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The wide popularity of facial recognition.
B．The rapid development of facial recognition.
C．The benefits of facial recognition.
D．The introduction to facial recognition.
