A
Graham Moore is the best-selling author of The Sherlockian and the screenwriter of The Imitation Game. His new book The Last Days of Night is out now. He is talking about some of his favorite books.
Murder in Three Acts
BY AGATHA CHRISTIE
My mother is a crime fiction（侦探小说）lover and, when I was having trouble learning to read, we'd sit in my bed at home in Chicago and take it in turns to read a paragraph. It was the first book I read cover-to-cover and I later became a writer because of that experience. Not only did it give me a love of crime fiction but, more importantly, it taught me that reading can be a shared experience.
Cryptonomicon
BY NEAL STEPHENSON
This book showed me that historical fiction need not be dry, but can be lively and enjoyable. Stephenson asks readers to take science seriously, but writes the story in a funny way. I'd long known of Alan Turing, but Stephenson's technique（手法）of describing him was surprising. I saw how a writer can bring a real person to life for modem readers.
A Visit from the Goon Squad
BY JENNIFER EGAN
Egan uses a technique that I drew on when writing The Imitation Game. She tells stories from different voices and times, and uses many styles that say to readers, “I've done a lot of work, but now you have to join in and work it out for yourselves.”
With my latest book, my greatest hope is that readers will want to get other people discussing the book. I've just started the conversation.
21. What helped Moore to be a writer?
A. Reading crime fiction in secret.
B. Having trouble learning to read.
C. Writing stories at a young age.
D. Reading a book with his mother.
22. Who was Alan Turing?
A. Moore's Friend
B. A writer.
C. A historical character.
D. Moore's teacher.
23. What's the purpose of writing the passage?
A. To discuss some books.
B. To introduce readers some books.
C. To tell writer's stories.
D. To discuss the book with others.
B
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission （录取）to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia.

In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon（外科医师）, but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.

Being a teenager can be hard, for you have to face a lot of difficult problems, but a new program called Nfusion is working hard to help teens with mental（精神的）health needs. Nfusion gives teenagers classes where they study or discuss some troubling subjects. Drugs and bullying （欺凌）are just a few of the topics discussed during the class on Saturday.
“I had a bad attitude,”said 17-year-old Titeana Davis. Davis went through the Nfusion Program last year. The teen，who once had trouble with her attitude towards others, says the program has changed her life. “They taught me a bad attitude is not going to get you anywhere,”said Davis.
Nfusion is a new program that meets teens mental health needs and provides help for their families. The program is designed to help teens aged 14-21 live through a difficult period.
“They're still growing, still developing and still there are a lot of things they don't know how to address. So this is a good program for them to be a part of,”said Lakicha Jemigan, who worked for the Nfusion Program.
Teens like Davis are just a few who have come through the program successfully. Now thanks to Nfusion, Davis says she's looking forward to a bright future. “After I graduate from college, I want to work at a primary school and I want to be a second grade teacher,” added Davis.
28. Why is it necessary to help teens?

D. learn from

B. She worked for Nfusion.
C. She went back to school.
D. She got along well with others.

It was Mother's Day, but I knew there would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God. I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is there anything for me today?”
At that very moment the telephone rang. It was the voice of a little girl who said, “Miss Stephanie, I've been thinking of you! "It took my breath away! I had known this girl from another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God's great love for me.
There have been many Mother's Days since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting. I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never be forgotten.
In the United States and elsewhere, Mother's Day has become synonymous（与……同义）with lots of human expectations. If we're not careful, the fulfillment of these clichés can become a
false standard for feeling loved，and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother's Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice（庆幸）in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!
32. How did the writer feel after comforting others on Mother's Day?
A. Comfortable.
B. Disappointed.
C. Anxious.
D. Energetic.
33. Why was the call on that Mother's Day unforgettable?
A. Because she was a single mother.
B. Because she didn't expected the call.
C. Because she began to know how loved she was.
D. Because she hadn't received any call that morning.
34. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?
A. The writer was always moved to tears on every Mother's Day.
B. Mother's Day has become not so important in the United States.
C. The fulfillment of human expectations will never be a heavy burden.
D. That Mother's Day long ago had a positive influence on the writer's life.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. A Call from a Little Girl
B. A Memorable Mother's Day
C. God's Great Love for Everyone
D. A Mother's Day Long Time Ago

Taking pressure off sports competitions
Sports are a great way to have fun and stay active. Competitions can make sports more exciting. But because somebody wins and somebody loses competitions can also make kids be under pressure. A little pressure can be OK. But too much pressure is bad news. 36 What is a competition?

Why do I feel under pressure?
Do you ever have “butterflies” in your stomach?It's that nervous feeling some people get when starting to attend a new school or preparing for a big soccer match. Believe it or not, the best player on your team gets nervous before a bi g game. 39 Feeling a little excited or nervous is OK, though. This helps your body and mind get ready to compete. But if you're getting so nervous that you aren't having much fun, it's time to figure out why.
How can I deal with pressure?
When you' re competing in sports, you need a lot of energy. 40 Be sure to go to bed on time. And don't forget to eat well on game day. Try to attend all of your team's practices. By practicing, you'll improve your playing skills. The more prepared you are, the better you'll feel and the more fun you'll have.
A. A little pressure can be OK.
B. What if you want to give up?
C. But usually only one person or team does.
D. It takes a lot of work to become skilled at a sport.
E. Even professional players feel nervous sometimes!
F. One secret to having lots of energy is to get plenty of sleep.
G. You may compete by yourself, as part of a team, or both.
