21、   The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years. This is a page turnerwith complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures.

On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story.

Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.

The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir's voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world.

I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs. For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish.

【1】The underlined words "a page turner" probably mean that the book is________.

A．abstract

B．difficult

C．ridiculous

D．exciting

【2】The greatest charm of The Kite Runner lies in________.

A．the beauty of language

B．the history of the Taliban

C．the culture of immigrants

D．the reflection of humanity

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．The story is set in the September 11, 2001 attacks in America.

B．The author always feels sympathy for the main character, Amir.

C．The story can provide inspiration for readers of various cultures.

D．The secret helped Amir to grow up in a privileged place in society.

【4】What type of writing is the passage?

A．A review of a book.

B．An introduction to a book

C．A summary of a book.

D．An advertisement of a book.

22、With the sudden change to online learning especially within the last couple of years, there have been quite a few problems for students and teachers as well.

【1】 When students are learning from the comfort of their own bedrooms, it can be difficult to feel productive. After 5 minutes of studying, the students may find themselves picking up the phone to look through social media platforms. 【2】

Teachers constantly find students lack(缺乏) the drive to learn something new. When students find no motivation(动机) to learn, study, or focus during the lesson, it can be discouraging for teachers as well.

In a traditional classroom, sometimes teachers would allow 10­minute breaks in between the lesson. 【3】 Usually, teachers also arrange pair­based activities that let students work together towards a common goal. This social method is quite important for lifting class morale(士气) and building companionship. The problem with online learning is that teachers generally pay little attention to this factor as they concentrate on delivering the class content only.

The poor Internet connection is another challenge faced by students in online learning. 【4】 This can be annoying for students. They are sometimes forced out of Zoom room because the Internet service is not working well.

Besides technical problems in online learning, teachers sometimes struggle with the class discipline(纪律) in a virtual environment. 【5】 Teachers may feel discouraged when they realize they are explaining something but the students are not following.

So, all the possible solutions should be found to get the best results for the students.

A．It’s difficult for them to keep up with the teacher.

B．Students are generally beyond their teachers’ control.

C．One problem that stands out is poor time management.

D．This often encourages students to interact with one another.

E．Adapting to an online learning environment can be a bit difficult.

F．At the end of the day, they realize that they haven’t studied properly.

G．That’s why we’ll discuss the most common problems of online learning.
