Because my work involves so much mandatory reading (强制性阅读), I don’t get to do lots of pleasure reading. There is just too little time for short stories or poetry. I typically only get to the things friends have already read and recommended to me. They are my book reviewers. They keep me from wasting time.
My favorite popular author is John Grisham. He has written twenty-two novels, one work of non-fiction, a collection of stories, and a novel for young readers. I respect good story-tellers, and he knows how to tell a good story.
Although his books have sold some 300 million copies, people sometimes pan him. “He’s no Hemingway or Faulkner!” says one reviewer. “He is not a particularly good writer,” says another, “and it is unlikely that anyone will be reading his ‘potboilers’ in another generation.”
However, I like the fact that Grisham doesn’t take himself too seriously. In one interview with the Associated Press, Grisham denied any visions of great literary fiction. “It’s pure entertainment,” he said. Sounds quite humble, doesn’t it? And that quality is most refreshing and rare these days.
In the course of that same interview, he mentioned a fact from his earliest days of attempting to write that grabbed my most attention. “The alarm clock would go off at 5, and I’d jump in the shower,” he said. “My office was five minutes away. And I had to be at my desk, at my office, with the first cup of coffee and a legal pad, and write the first word at 5:30, five days a week.” His goal was to write one page every day. If it took ten minutes, so be it. Sometimes he would write for two hours before starting his job as a lawyer.
24. The underlined word “pan” (in Paragraph 3) probably means ______.
A. praise B. criticize C. respect D. cheat
25. What does the author think of John Grisham?
A. He is a modest person. B. He likes entertaining himself.
C. He tends to look down upon other writers. D. He compares himself to Hemingway.
26. In the interview, what impressed the author most was that ______.
A. Grisham was always friendly to others
B. Grisham was often staying up late for work
C. Grisham was a productive writer with all kinds of works
D. Grisham had a good habit of getting up early to write
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Short Stories: Source of My Pleasure B. John Grisham: My Great Admiration
C. My Impressive Interview with John Grisham D. The Effect of Mandatory Reading on My Life
C
Coastal cities around the globe are sinking by up to several centimeters per year, on average, satellite observations reveal. The one-two punch of sinking land and rising seas means that these coastal regions are at greater risk of flooding than previously thought, researchers report in the April 16 Geophysical Research Letters.
Matt Wei, an earth scientist at the University of Rhode Island in Narragansett, and colleagues studied 99 coastal cities on six continents. “We tried to balance population and geographic location,” he says. While subsidence (下沉) has been measured in cities previously, earlier research has tended to focus on just one city or region. This investigation is different. Wei says, “It’s one of the first to really use data with global coverage.” Wei and his team relied on observations made mostly from 2015 to 2020 by a pair of European satellites. Instruments onboard beam microwave signals toward Earth and then record the waves that bounce back. By measuring the timing and intensity of those reflected waves, the team determined the height of the ground with millimeter accuracy. And because each satellite flies over the same part of the planet every 12 days, the researchers were able to trace how the ground deformed over time.
The largest subsidence rates — up to five centimeters per year — are mostly in Asian cities like Tianjin, China; Karachi, Pakistan; and Manila, Philippines, the team found. What’s more, about one-third, or 34, of the analyzed cities are sinking in some places by more than a centimeter per year. That’s a worrying trend, says Dario Solano-Rojas, an earth scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City who was not involved in the research. These cities are being hit with a double whammy: At the same time that sea levels are rising due to climate change, the land is sinking. “Understanding that part of the problem is a big deal,” Solano-Rojas says.
Wei and his colleagues think that the subsidence is largely caused by people. When the researchers looked at Google Earth imagery of the regions within cities that were rapidly sinking, the team saw mostly residential or commercial areas. That’s a tip-off that the culprit (元凶) is groundwater extraction, the team concluded. Landscapes tend to settle as water is pumped out of aquifers (含水层). But there’s reason to be hopeful. In the past, Indonesia’s Jakarta, for example, was sinking by nearly 30 cm/yr, on average. But now subsidence there and in other places has slowed, possibly due to recent governmental regulations limiting groundwater extraction.
28. How does Matt Wei and his colleagues’ research differ from previous ones?
A. It centers on observing European satellites.
B. It adopts comprehensive data on a global scale.
C. It demonstrates subsiding land and rising seas risk coastal regions.
D. It makes the connection between waves and the height of the ground.
29. What can we know from the third paragraph?
A. Most Asian cities are sinking at the rate of five centimeters per year.
B. Dario Solano-Rojas is in charge of statistical analysis in the research.
C. Some cities are in a difficult situation with land sinking and sea rising.
D. Cities subsiding at largest rates account for one third of the analyzed cities.
30. What is a cause of the subsidence according to the passage?
A. Launching satellites flying over the same part of the earth. B. Governments’ regulations on limiting water usage.
C. Rising seas flooding some coastal regions regularly. D. Pumping groundwater out for certain purposes.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward slowing down subsidence?
A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
D
When we’re busy doing things we love, we don’t think about how old we are or the state of our knees. But then something pulls us up short, like a polite young man offering his seat, or accompanying you to cross the road, and suddenly we’re walking more slowly, feeling just a little worse about life in general.
The way these internalized (内在化的) attitudes about aging affect us physically is a focus within a growing field in social psychology known as mind-body studies. In the next few months, the World Health Organization is expected to publish the results of a global investigation of ageism — discrimination toward the aged — that will address how to fight the prejudice. The report will also outline the various ways that ageist attitudes can affect the health and well-being of older people.
Psychologist Becca Levy is a contributor to the coming WHO report. She has spent her career linking negative aging attitudes to such measures as walking speed in older people, a greater likelihood of developing the brain changes of Alzheimer’s disease and even a reduction in life span. But it’s not all terrible. Levy, at the Yale School of Public Health, has also shown that something as simple as potential exposure to age-positive words can lead to physical improvements in older people of the sort. Those typically come about only after a program of regular exercise. If Levy and other scientists are correct, putting a more positive effect on our general view of aging might make a profound difference in the health of people over 65, the fastest-growing age group in America today. Some of the most surprising mind-body findings imply: A more positive attitude toward aging leads to improvements in older people’s memory, balance, speed and quality of life.
32. According to the passage, people will realize they’re at an advanced age when ______.
A. they are occupied with work B. their knees are easily hurt
C. someone helps them go across the street D. they offer seats to others
33. What can we know from the WHO report?
A. There is little prejudice to the elderly. B. Ageism may do physical and mental damage to the elderly.
C. People are supposed to fight against discrimination. D. Ageism is a main research field in social psychology.
34. What does Levy suggest people do?
A. Help the old to be more exposed to age-positive
