How to Choose books you’ll love
Do you have trouble choosing a book to read With so many choices, it can be hard to decide which books are right for you. Here are some tips of choosing the ones you’re more likely to enjoy.
Thinking about stories you’ve enjoyed in the past can give you clues about what genres① you prefer. Maybe you like science fiction, which transports you to completely made-up worlds. Or perhaps you like historical fiction, made-up stories based on true events. Nonfiction is another choice. Think about the topics that interest you or an interest you have and want to know more about.
Ask for recommendations②
You can visit the library and ask a librarian to guide you to the shelves that feature the genre you’d like to dive into. Another idea is to ask friends with similar tastes what books they have liked and would recommend. You can also find a list of recommendations from the Internet.
Search for “readalikes”
If you enjoyed a particular book, you may like others that are similar in style, known as a “readalike.” You can look up a writer whose book you liked in the past, and find out whether they have written sequels③ or other books you might enjoy. If you have read through an entire series and are looking for new writers, you can checkout the website www. and put in the name of the writer you like, the site’s search engine will suggest similar writers to you.
Take the stress off
You won’t love every book you read, and that’s OK! No matter how far along you are in the book you are reading, if you don’t like it, it’s fine to stop reading it. When you take the stress off yourself to finish a book you’re not enjoying, you free yourself up to choose another book.

During the year my daughter Anna got into college, my father was suffering from Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症). He kept talking about buying Anna a new phone as a present! I told him she had already got one, but he would ask several times every day. So I took this photo in the winter holiday. Whenever he asked about it, I would show him the photo. (Bob)
At first, Wang Ming said he looked down upon his job. But every time he delivered medicine to sick people, carried essential items for the elderly upstairs, or brought a warm dinner to those working overtime (加班), he realized the importance of his job. Gradually, he fell in love with it. I interviewed him and took a photo during his work. See, there’s sunshine in his smile. (Li Hao)
This is a photo of our family member, Tiantian. Look! How high she’s jumping! Over a year ago, we found a yellow kitten with a broken leg next to the rubbish bin. My daughter insisted on taking her to the hospital. At last, I agreed. To our great surprise, the doctor saved her leg and two months later, she became healthy again. (Jenny)
My wife Zoe is a runner. Running her first marathon in a wheelchair was really tough, but she worked hard to get ready for it.

(2024·上海奉贤·一模)Today’s Motion
Students Should Not Be Graded on Their Handwriting
58% Say Yes
I am for the motion. “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” It is a suitable saying for this statement. A kid may not have good handwriting, but he or she could still be very very smart. For example, many great scientists’ handwriting is horrible, but they have risen to the top of their fields. Plus, even some doctors have bad handwriting, but we don’t care so much about it.
By Miniballball
Remember the future. In the future, many jobs won’t be available because of the rise of robots and technology. In the past, you would write a letter and send it. That was like 50 years ago. Now, we have emails. Everything will be automated (自动化) soon. So is there even a point to having a debate on handwriting NO, it really won’t matter at all!
By Little Cherry
42% Say No
Handwriting should decide students’ grades. This is because if your handwriting is bad, the teacher may not understand what you have written even though your answer is correct. Therefore, I strongly disagree with this motion. It’s worth nothing that handwriting doesn’t have to be very beautiful, but it can reflect (反映) a student’s
attitude towards his or her studies.
By blue000n
Handwriting is important. It may not play a big part in this modern world, but it’s still very important to many people. In many jobs—more than most people think—having good, clear handwriting is necessary. If early on in school you get graded on your handwriting, then you can improve on it and get a better job in the future. Also, it’s been scientifically shown that children with good handwriting are able to spell and remember things better than children with bad handwriting.

(2024·上海嘉定·一模)
Joel Sartore is a writer, teacher, and photographer. His words and beautiful images show his love of photography and of the natural world.
Question 1: How did you become a National Geographic photographer
My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on.
Question 2: __________________________________________
To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don’t have. It’s not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.
Question 3: Is it hard to get a job as a photographer today
It’s now harder to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is filled with photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines. What the magazines need to do these days is to pay for these photos.
Question 4: I want to be a photographer. Do you have any advice for me
Advice Well, work hard. Be passionate (热情的) about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others’ photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about everything. There’s something to photograph everywhere.
79.What kind of passage is it

(2024·上海崇明·一模)Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
When a new cell phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing. But what should we do with our old cell phones
Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a cell phone recycling company. “Don’t throw your old phone away. Send it to us and we’ll recycle it,” he says. “ If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground—and it becomes a big problem.”
Cell phones contain some toxic materials (有毒物质), like lead, mercury and cadmium. If your phone goes to a
landfill, these toxic materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That’s the water we want to drink or the water that goes into rivers or the ocean. Millions of cell phones are thrown away every year.
“At Total Recall, we take the old phones apart. Most of the materials in a cell phone can be recycled and used again,” explains Mike. “We sell the parts and they are used to make new products. For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries. The plastic cases of the phones are made into plastic fence posts.”
Mike says recycling your old phone is easy. “You can usually take it into a cell phone shop and they’ll send it to us.” So, before you throw your old cell phone away, use it one last time: search for a cell phone recycling company near you and give them a call.

A.sells new cell phones B.recycles old cell phones
C.repairs old cell phones D.produces new cell phones
