Homework checking
My favourite book is Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I think it has the significant qualities of good literature mentioned in the article. First of all, the book reflects the essence of Chinese culture, such as Liu Bei’s benevolence and Guan Yu’s integrity. Second, as the book is set in the Three Kingdoms period, we read about the ups and downs of the main characters, so their unpredictable fates appeal to our feelings. Third, the most basic of human nature—love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and hope—is well presented in the book. The vow Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei make when they join together as brothers—to save the troubled and to aid the endangered—still has value today.
Homework checking
The author, who also lived in an unstable society, witnessed people’s suffering and saw their longing for a peaceful life, and reflected his own life and experiences in his novel. All of the points mentioned above make Romance of the Three Kingdoms a well-loved classic that will continue to have a strong impact on generations of readers to come.

Examples
2. Find the examples used in the article and finish B3 on Page 47.
A hundred men may pass a field and see only dead grass; but a poet stops, looks deeper, sees truth and beauty, and writes, “Yesterday’s flowers am I.” One who reads it is capable of seeing the beauty that was hidden from his eyes before.
When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen, “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships ” he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new world, a world of love, beauty and heroism.
Appreciation
Sample answer:
Some people believe that classics are old, boring and have nothing to do with life today. However, this is not true. For example, Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina can still teach us not to build our own happiness on someone else’s pain.
Appreciation
1. What are antonyms and synonyms Is it useful to learn antonyms
and synonyms
Antonyms are words with opposite meanings.
Synonyms are words with the same or nearly the same meanings.
Antonyms and synonyms
Appreciation
Using antonyms helps emphasize your point and show contrast, or better explain what you exactly mean. Knowing synonyms and antonyms can help express yourself better—more colourfully and with more variety.
Synonyms and antonyms can also help remember the words you are trying to learn.

antonyms in it.
Good literature reflects the most basic human nature—love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and hope.

1.阅读该书的初始章节,初步判断其是否符合优秀文学作品的三个特点;
2.随后上网查看其评价,并结合自己的兴趣确定是否借阅。
注意:
1.词数100左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;
3.开头语和结束语已为你写好。
Dear Jenny,
I am glad to talk about literature with you. Last time you told me that sometimes you can’t determine whether a book is of good quality or whether it’s worthwhile to borrow it from the library. Hopefully, the following suggestions can help you a little bit.
Read the first chapter of the book so that you can judge whether this book has the three significant qualities of good literature: description of hidden truth and beauty, the appeal to our feelings and imagination, and reflection of universal interest and personal style. Also, I suggest you read its book reviews online. Highly-rated books or the books that have won some famous awards are better worth reading. Of course, the book you choose has to cater to your taste.
Enjoy your reading!
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
