21、Comments on the July Issue of Reader’s Digest
Jennie Gardner, Bath
I couldn’t agree more with Lee Child, that books are really important. Yes, you can get lost in them but you can also find yourself and new worlds and possibilities in them. Books help us to forget and remember. They remind us both of what's really important and what’s not.
And, as Lee says, they let us hold the whole world in our hands, We can feel the weight of this word, we can mark our favourite spots, add in our own thoughts and see our progress through the pages as the story leads us back home, allowing us to re-find ourselves along the way.
Jayne Wile, North Wales
Brian Blessed’s I Remember was most enjoyable. I love Brian, a popular actor of stage and screen. It was interesting to learn more about his life. I noted how he enjoyed being involved in the Space Program, doing 600 hours training in Moscow and I have to agree with his thought：”We need to get out to Mars because the Earth has got to rest.” Mars has always been a source of inspiration for explorers and scientists.
Melanie Lodge, West Yorkshire
I was thrilled to read author Lee Childs If I Ruled The World. I was most impressed that he wanted to make teachers the most respected and highest paid professionals.
I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have done so since my youngest daughter began school 12 years ago. Until then I had no idea just how much planning was involved in each lesson and how much patience was required in a class of 30 children! I also agree with Lee that there’s nothing more rewarding than finishing a good book.

22、Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer (零售商) who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's. Chicago. Founded in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department scores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, “The customer is always right,” which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have invented the phrase “Only [so many] Shopping Days until Christmas”.
When he visited London on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no match of their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges. a department store named after him. at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team shaped an ambitious classical palacc building with a wall of plate glass windows.
Opened in 1909, Selfridges offered customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first aid room and. most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being thoroughly instructed in the art of making a sale.
Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and comprehensively stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key element of the 20th Century culture, and Chaplin acknowledged the growing trend for shopping in the department store in his film The Floorwalker.

23、 Britain and France are two important countries in Europe. They are neighbors, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.
There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry (敌对) between the two nations. That’s why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.
It revealed (揭露) that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that twenty-one percent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.
Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food and wine!
Estimates (估计) of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly settling in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best.
【1】Why do some British people like to live in France?
A. They prefer the longer holidays there.
B. England has the worst food in Europe.
C. France is not far away from England.
D. The two countries have always been friends.
【2】Some French people mainly set in London because ________.

D. they can work shorter hours there
【3】Which would be the most ideal way to live for people in both countries?
A. Work and live in France.
B. Work and live in London.
C. Work in London and live in France.
D. Work in France and live in London.
【4】What a suggestion does the text give?
A. Both of the people like to move between two countries.
B. Both of the people are becoming more European.
C. The French are becoming more British.
D. The British are becoming more French.
24、A student named Bruce sent me an email. He said, “My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams. 【1】. Why do adults connect everything with school grades?”
The following are my tips about his problem:
I understand your problem, and this must be frustrating to hear. Studies are important in a young person’s life. 【2】. However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school.
For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. 【3】. However, if you feel that your parents are putting you under too much pressure, then be honest and tell them how you feel. This way in the future when you have more exams, they will be less likely to put you in such an awkward situation, in which your results directly determine how they treat you.
【4】 if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive (产生反效果的) for your exam performance.
It may be a long time since your parents were at school so they may find it difficult to understand your situation. I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came. 【5】, instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result. As a general rule for exams, try to make sure you have a schedule that allows you time to relax. I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused.
Be honest with your parents. At the end of the day, you are still fortunate enough that you have the chance of a trip after the exams are over.
A．But if I don’t, they will cancel the trip
B．Don’t expect much from them
C．I always found it best to focus on the task at hand
D．Your parents want to reward you for your hard work
E．I feel full of confidence and so open to possibilities
F．They may think differently about how they offer motivation
G．Try and let this potential reward motivate you if you can
25、 Throughout history, the world looks for heroes in times of uncertainty. But what makes a hero? A cape (披风) and tights?
Heroism is something that every one of us can aspire(渴望) to, but not all of us will_______. It takes a special kind of person to be a hero: bravery, compassion,_______ and sacrifice.
In a paper published in Review of General Psychology, researcher Blau, Franco and Zimbardo agreed on a_______of heroism: Heroes voluntarily serve others in need and are willing to make _______for these actions without expecting any reward or_______gain.
Empathy and compassion for others are also common traits (特质) that all heroes seem to possess.

To be a hero, you must have certain strengths._______ your good intentions, trying to be a hero in a_______ situation when you have nothing to offer others may be foolish and could __________ more difficulties for rescue workers.

"Heroes __________ give us our models of things that we aspire to do," said American psychologist Nick Carden, according to WALB News. It's related to courage, integrity(正直) and honesty, Carden added.
Even if you __________ heroic traits, the right situation must arise in order to truly become a hero. Only when there are dangerous situations can a hero rise up to save the day. This is true bravery.
Heroes are needed every day, and we can read about them in the most recent news. There are __________ who run into burning buildings to save the people inside. Doctors and nurses treat sick patients despite the __________ of becoming sick themselves. __________have changed lives by donating a life saving organ or just doing a favor when there's a need.
