24、 Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (注册) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number (标识号) to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure (冒险), traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing brings them together."
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated (更新) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is popular with people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred and thirty-five countries.
【1】Why does the writer mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A.To explain what they are.
B.To introduce BookCrossing.
C.To stress the importance of reading.
D.To encourage readers to share their ideas.
【2】What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
A.Mail it back to its owner.
B.Pass it on to another reader.
C.Keep it safe in his bookcase.
D.Meet other readers to discuss it.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A.E-Books In Fashion
B.A New Social Activity
C.Ways To Start Online Reading
D.A Website Connects People With Books
25、If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive(积极的)light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨询), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school(研究院). Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general(全面的)plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.
【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .
A. being out of work is a sad thing
B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting
C. life in a film is more exciting than real life
D. chance never appears when we need it
【2】What troubles Allison after graduation?
A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.
B. She had no money to start a business.
C. She was not sure what to do.
D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.
【3】How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?
A. Uncertain. B. Amazed. C. Sorry. D. Satisfied.
【4】What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. How to deal with uncertainty.
B. What role uncertainty plays in life.
C. Why people fear uncertainty.
D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.
