Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
The winner in Culture critics’ survey is Junot Diaz’s first novel, about a bookworm called Oscar, who Dreams of finding love. It also was named as the number-one book by the most critics. “It is a big deal for me to fall in love with a book whose topic is science fiction, fantasy and imagination,” says Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune’s literary editor.
Edward P. Jones, The Known World
Set in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend——born a slave, now a slave-owner---The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks about the future of his 50-acre Virginia plantation and the slaves he treats the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.
Hilary Mantel , Wolf Hall
Mantel’s boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC miniseries(短剧). Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times book editor writes, “I have never felt so completely buried into a character’s mind, not to mention a long ago and far-away place.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
Rev John Ames, a small town minister, describes his life and anti-slavery tradition to his young son in beautiful language in this first part of Robinson’s trilogy (along with Home and Lila). “ I can’t think of a living novelist who writes more seriously and profoundly about religious faith, which has become an almost forbidden topic in modern literature,” writes Dawn Raffel, who ranked Gilead first on her list. Critic Karen R. Long says, “ This multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (超越)，and makes a case for spiritual life in the 21st century----its own kind of miracle. Gilead will be read in 100 years.”

A minute passes. Nothing happens.
Finally the lawyer says," Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict(裁决)of no guilty.
The jury, clearly confused, retires to discuss.

Working well in a team requires full cooperation. It’s an important skill for almost every employee to have. Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done, and others depend on you to get their work done.
Communicate well. Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a team’s failure. Seek input from team members so they fell like a valuable part of the team. Communication establishes trust among team members. In addition, communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict. Meet regularly to keep members involved and aware of your work progress. Post decisions where everyone in the team can see them.
Be flexible. In teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly. Stay ready to shift focus. Training team members to be able to do parts of other team member’s jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork; being flexible helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team.
Meet deadlines. Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team environment. Others are depending on your work. Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a project. Doing so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished.
Establish accountability. All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project. Although every team doesn’t need a leader, teams require a formal way to ensure everybody does his part. Try using meetings to report on progress.
Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not always recognize the importance of some team members’ work. Share congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work are invaluable in helping you get your work done.

D
Researchers say current exercise guidelines are unrealistic and argue that doctors should sometimes advise small increases in activity instead. They warn the 150-minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people - particularly older individuals. And striving to reach these goals could mean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public health officials say current recommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.
There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults recommend at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week, in short periods of 10 minutes or more.
But in two separate articles in the BMJ, experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who are sedentary(久坐的) to make small incremental increases in their activity levels - rather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to previous studies which show even short periods of walking or just 20 minutes of vigorous activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death, compared to people who do no exercise.
In the second article, Prof Phillip Sparling of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor their advice --- particularly for older patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss "realistic options" to increase activity --- such as getting people to stand up and move during TV commercial breaks.
Prof Kevin Fenton at Public Health England, says: "Everyone needs to be active every day –-- short periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range of health conditions." This includes reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."
32. What is the current exercise goal mentioned in the passage?
A. 10-minute exercise B. 20-minute exercise
C. 60-minute exercise D. 150-minute exercise
33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. A 10-minute exercise has little effect on the health.
B. Heart diseases happen easily to the old in activity.
C. Two-and-a-half hours of exercise is not necessary.
D. Inactivity easily brings about many serious diseases.
34. What is the suggestion of Prof. Philipe de Souto Barreto according to the third paragraph?
A. People should spend less time on exercise.
B. People should lower their activity levels.
C. People should increase exercise properly.
D. People should achieve their current goals.
35. Which of the following is TRUE about current exercise guidelines?
A. They are impractical. B. They are reasonable.
C. They have no effect on us. D. They are popular with people.

Common-sense Safety Tips for Travelling Abroad
When a holiday is just around the corner, you may be planning a trip abroad. But to enjoy a worry-free adventure abroad, you also should pay attention to the following common-sense safety tips for travelling abroad.
36
Another reason to take only carry-on carriage---besides avoiding baggage fees---is that the less you have to carry around, the more quickly you can move, if necessary. You should always have a free hand. Besides, you won’t be exhausted from dragging all those bags around. 37
Lock it up.
Leave your hotel with only what you need and lock up the rest. Take a lock for your luggage just in case your hotel doesn’t offer a safe. 38 If you don’t need all your cash and cards, don’t take them all with you when you go out for a day of sightseeing or shopping. Also, leave your passport in the hotel. Make photocopies of all your important documents and leave the hotel with a copy of your passport plus a one photo I.D. Why? 39 If all of your identification is in it, imagine the trouble you have to go through to replace it all.
Think and Plan.
Always keep in mind that, when you travel abroad, you are in a place you don’t know well and you can always be a target. Trust your senses. 40 After your arrival, ask the hotel staff and locals about the areas you are thinking of visiting, especially at night. And you should walk in well-lit areas at night and know how to contact the local police with your cell phone or a payphone in a foreign country, if necessary.
A. Travel light.
B. Pay by credit card.
C. Imagine having your bag stolen off a restaurant table.
D. You should also make it a habit to take your watch with you.
E. Plus, dragging lots of luggage is a dead giveaway that you aren’t a local resident.
F. You should call ahead to be sure, especially if your luggage is made of cloth material.
G. You are smart and mature, so if something or some situation doesn’t feel safe, it probably isn’t.
