When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew(白露), the 15th solar term(节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast (《流动的盛宴》), “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ”
But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature(成熟的).
The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole(《库尔的野天鹅》), writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.

A project in Britain is trying to deal with the loneliness of the old by asking young people to work as volunteers to help the old.
Lorna Burnett was paired with 15-year-old Ailsa, a schoolgirl, through the Reading Friends project. Lorna used to read two to three books every week when she was a librarian. In her 40s, she developed a serious eye disease and her vision became worse and worse. Finally, she was unable to read or watch television for any length of time without her eyes hurting.
Not only have Lorna’s reading periods with Ailsa helped to reconnect her with her love for literature, they have also built a strong inter-generational friendship. “I chose a book and she would come along and read it to me,” Lorna said.
Since the Reading Agency started the program in 2017, they have introduced tens of Reading Friends periods across Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England.
According to the organization's website, “Loneliness is an important health and well-being problem for older people. Research shows that reading together can help older people to build social networks and connect with others. Fact also shows that reading has a good influence on cognitive functions(认知能力) and well-being and can reduce the risk of dementia (痴呆).”
Ruth Sheppard from Bannock bum High School is responsible for connecting schoolchildren like Ailsa with the program and she says that it has had an amazing influence on the young people. “We have wonderful young people at our school and we want to get them into the community,” Sheppard said. “It has been fantastic to see them become more confident as well as improving their reading ability and social skills. They are meeting community members like Lorna that they are making friendships with, and all the library workers also help them.”
5. What does the underlined word “vision” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. View. B. Sight. C. Strength. D. Confidence.
6. How does Ailsa help Lorna
A. By reading books to her. B. By looking after her carefully.
C. By collecting good books for her. D. By helping her with her library work.
7. Why does the author use the words on the Reading Agency’s website
A. To explain the bad influence of loneliness. B. To introduce the health condition of the old.
C. To show the necessity of running the program. D. To encourage young people to join the program.
8. What can we learn from Ruth Sheppard’s words
A. The program is also good for the students. B. The program needs more students like Ailsa.
C. The program has won the support of communities.D. The program is highly thought of by many students.
C
I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain’s literary heritage(文学遗产). Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. These writers are famous all over the world because their books have been translated into many different languages. In the UK, their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written. We say that these novels are “classic” because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.
I read classic novels not only because they are part of my university lessons but also because I enjoy them. They can teach you a lot about how people used to live and what society was like in the past. Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.
Classic novels usually have memorable stories and interesting characters. One of my favourite books is Charles Dickens Great Expectations. It is about a boy called Pip who suddenly receives a lot of money from a mysterious supporter. As he grows up, his character changes: he becomes quite selfish and mean. Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiance ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark house and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating character, both sad and scary.
Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience. And it has become part of life.
9. Why are some novels called “classic”
A. They stand the test of time. B. They are taught at universities.
C. They are written by famous authors. D. They are translated into many languages.
10. Why is Hard Times mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To introduce the university lessons. B. To remind people of the poverty in London.
C. To let people know about what family life was like.D. To prove classic novels help people know the past.
11. What can we know about the character Miss Havisham
A. She is selfish and mean. B. She lives an unhappy life.
C. She loves wedding dresses most. D. She becomes rich with others’ support.
12. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why I like classic novels B. Why some novels are classic
C. How to read classic novels D. How to teach classic novels

(Sheppard说：“我们学校有很多优秀的年轻人，我们想让他们融入社区。”)”可知，她提出想让更多的优秀年轻人融入社区，并在后文“It has been fantastic to see them become more confident as well as improving their reading ability and social skills.
