Summer Reading Program
Welcome to Brown Summer Reading!
Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information.
Every student must join at least one book club this summer.
Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life.
Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life.
Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound.
Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people.
However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections.
To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information.
1. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A school textbook. B. A school website.
C. A reading club’s annual report. D. A book store website.

Kunqu, which combines poetry, music, beautiful costumes and graceful performances, was listed as one of the masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage (非物质文化遗产) of humanity by UNESCO in 2001.
But it is far from a heritage. In the busy streets of Kunshan, this ancient art form continues to find new life, balancing between keeping its timeless beauty and meeting the demands of modernity.
For performers like You Tengteng, an actress at the Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Theater, the act is both a challenge and a passion. After a long day of practice, You and her colleagues discuss their latest performance strategies not in a traditional theater but on Douyin, a Chinese video-sharing platform.
In partnership with the platform, You and seven other performers livestream (网络直播) their shows for at least 20 hours each month. The goal is simple yet great: to reach a new generation of audiences who might hesitate to sit through a two or three-hour-long performance in an opera house (戏院).
One of the challenges is translation — not from language to language but from centuries-old art to the screens of smartphones.
To draw audiences in the digital age, the performers have condensed (压缩) the lengthy art form into acceptable one-hour pieces, inviting viewers to experience Kunqu in more relaxed settings, whether over tea at a cafe or within the walls of a museum.
The strategy seems to be working, particularly among Chinese youth. After performances, it is common to see young fans eagerly lining up for selfies and autographs (签名) with the performers. Their newfound love for this ancient art is a piece of evidence to its continuous development.
You Tengteng’s influence goes beyond the stage. Over the last few years, the Kunshan Kunqu theater has held more than 2, 500 performances and tours, drawing over 20 million attendees from China and abroad. In addition, the local government has spent 177 million yuan ($25. 05 million) to support new productions and performances.
4 Why did You Tengteng livestream Kunqu on Douyin
A To help promote Douyin platform. B. To attract more fans to make money.
C. To popularize Kunqu among young people. D. To encourage people to practise Kunqu
5. What is the main challenge You Tengteng faces
A. Showing the timeless beauty of Kunqu. B. Translating the art to different languages.
C. Raising enough money for new productions. D. Adapting Kunqu to the demands of digital time.
6. Which or the following can best describe You Tengteng according to this article
A. Romantic. B. Responsible. C. Humorous. D. Traditional.
7. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. Effect of You Tengteng and her colleagues’ practice. B. You Tengteng’s personal influence.
C. The reason why You Tengteng succeeded. D. The situation of Kunshan Kunqu theater.
C
A sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle eventually does harm to health but breaking out of long inactivity can be discouraging. Now, however, there may be a simple way to ease into more activity.
A recent study suggests that short bouts (一阵) of intense (高强度的) activity every day — climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of things, or stepping up the pace of housework — can provide great health benefits.
“It’s quite simple, but it’s not an idea that’s out there,” says University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis who led the research. “Many people, including many health professionals, still think of physical activity as something that you do during your free time, and you need to go somewhere to do it.”
Stamatakis and his colleagues on the other hand, wanted to understand if daily life activities done somewhat vigorously in short bouts could also provide health benefits compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle.
To study this, his team used data from nearly 25, 000 adults who were non-exercisers. Without these data, it was almost impossible to continue the study. Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or doing intense activities like running during repeated 10-second windows. The researchers also divided any movement into light, middle, or high intensity. Then, for the next seven years, they recorded which study participants died and what caused the death.
The team found that people who did at least four one-to-two-minute high intensity physical activities every day had a nearly 40 percent less risk of dying from cancer and a roughly 49 percent ower chance of dying from a cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. More bouts of such strong activity meant greater protection from death risks, Stamatakis says, “The more, the better.”
8. What did the recent study find
A. An inactive lifestyle is harmful but hard to change.
B. More physical exercises can make you more active.
C. Doing daily housework is also a kind of exercise.
D. Daily short but intense activities do good to health.
9. What does the underlined word “vigorously” most probably mean
A. Energetically. B. Continuously. C. Frequently. D. Creatively.
10. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 5
A. Research purposes. B. Research limitations.
C. Research findings. D. Research methods.
11. What would Stamatakis suggest
A. Going to exercise at fixed time and place. B. Avoiding movement of light intensity.
C. Doing only 8 minutes intense activity every day. D. Carrying out more short bouts of intense activity.
D
In a world that often stresses physical appearance, it’s important not to concern ourselves with external beauty or ugliness. True beauty and strength lie within.
Our focus on outward looks can lead to self-doubt and insecurity. For instance, many people feel sad when they don’t match the perfect images (形象) presented in the media. They might fight for an unachievable standard of beauty, frequently comparing themselves to others. However, this often leaves us empty and dissatisfied. Inner strength, on the other hand, enables us to face life’s challenges with courage and resilience (恢复力). It gives us the ability to bear hardships and come out of failures. A person like Malala Yousafzai, who fought for girls’ education despite facing great danger, shows that a strong and beautiful heart is more important than appearance.
A person with a strong and beautiful heart is kind, empathetic (有同理心的), and generous. They focus on building meaningful relationships and having a positive influence on the world around them. They don’t let the opinions of others about their appearance affect them. Instead, they draw confidence from their values and character. Consider the volunteers in local charities. They give their time and love selflessly, not worried by their outward looks but rather the warmth they can bring. Even in daily life, simple acts like helping an elderly cross the street or comforting a sad friend show the beauty within.
Rather than spending a large amount of time and energy on perfecting our looks, we should focus on self-improvement and self-reflection. We can read, learn new skills, and take part in activities that nourish (滋养) our souls. By doing so, we will discover a beauty that is far more lasting and satisfying than any external charm. Let’s remember that it’s our inner selves that truly matter and have the power to change not only our lives but also the lives of those we touch.
12. What can be inferred about the role of the media in relation to self-awareness from this article
A. It helps people build a realistic self-image.
B. It promotes a healthy focus on inner beauty.
C. It may contribute to unrealistic beauty standards.
D. It has no important effect on how people view themselves.
13. Why does the author mention Malala Yousafzai and volunteers
A. As an example of inner beauty. B. As an example different from volunteers in charities.
C. To show the importance of girls’ education. D. To show the power of changing one’s life.
14. What writing technique is used in this article in order to express the main point of view
A. Exaggeration (夸张). B. Metaphor (暗喻).
C. Contrast (对比). D. Personification (拟人).
15. Which of the following would he the best title for the article
A. True Beauty: The strength Hard to Achieve.
B. From Within: The True Beauty of a Person.
C. Self-improvement: The Way to Nourish Our Soul.
D. Difficult to Judge: The True Meaning of Inner Beauty.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Happy New Year, everyone!” Jimmy’s dad put a plate of hot pancakes down on the center of the table. “It’s the first day of the year. What’s your resolution (决心要做的事) for the next twelve months ” Jimmy’s sister, Julia, spoke first. “I want to get an A in math. I’m going to practice my flashcards every day.” Julia poured syrup (糖浆) on her pancakes and began to eat.
“What about you, Jimmy What’s your big goal for the year ”
Jimmy thought about it. He had never made a New Year’s resolution before. “Does a resolution have to be about school ” he asked. Dad smiled, “No, Jimmy. A resolution can be about anything you want. It’s just a promise you make to yourself to try to do something in the future. ” Hearing that, Jimmy sat and thought. He was already good at math. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a promise about doing extra homework. He would like to be better at baseball and hit a home run in the summer. It would be hard, though, to practice baseball in the winter when there was snow on the ground.
“I'll have to think about it, ” Jimmy said. Then he went back to his room. He did his best thinking on his bed, but he had to step over all of his toy trucks and a few dirty socks to get there. He also had to move his comic books and stuffed animals off of his bed before he could sit down.
Jimmy looked around his room. It was pretty messy. He would have to clean it up before he could have friends over on Sunday. It usually took all day Saturday to clean up. That meant Jimmy couldn't play until he was finished.
“That’s it! ” Jimmy cried. “I’ll clean my room every Friday right after school. Dad will be happy, and I will be able to play all weekend. ” Jimmy smiled. He was happy that he found a resolution that would make his New Year much better than the past year.
Paragraph one:
The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph two:
From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning.

【47题答案】
【答案】
The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. As soon as he got home from school, he put his backpack down and started cleaning his room. He picked up his toys, organized his comic books, and even folded his clothes. It was hard work, but he felt proud when he finished. His dad noticed the clean room and smiled, “Great job, Jimmy!” That evening, Jimmy felt relaxed knowing he had the whole weekend free to play.

Summer Reading Program
Welcome to Brown Summer Reading!
Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information.
Every student must join at least one book club this summer.
Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life.
Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life.
Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound.
Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people.
However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections.
To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information.

Kunqu, which combines poetry, music, beautiful costumes and graceful performances, was listed as one of the masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage (非物质文化遗产) of humanity by UNESCO in 2001.
But it is far from a heritage. In the busy streets of Kunshan, this ancient art form continues to find new life, balancing between keeping its timeless beauty and meeting the demands of modernity.
For performers like You Tengteng, an actress at the Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Theater, the act is both a challenge and a passion. After a long day of practice, You and her colleagues discuss their latest performance strategies not in a traditional theater but on Douyin, a Chinese video-sharing platform.
In partnership with the platform, You and seven other performers livestream (网络直播) their shows for at least 20 hours each month. The goal is simple yet great: to reach a new generation of audiences who might hesitate to sit through a two or three-hour-long performance in an opera house (戏院).
One of the challenges is translation — not from language to language but from centuries-old art to the screens of smartphones.
To draw audiences in the digital age, the performers have condensed (压缩) the lengthy art form into acceptable one-hour pieces, inviting viewers to experience Kunqu in more relaxed settings, whether over tea at a cafe or within the walls of a museum.
The strategy seems to be working, particularly among Chinese youth. After performances, it is common to see young fans eagerly lining up for selfies and autographs (签名) with the performers. Their newfound love for this ancient art is a piece of evidence to its continuous development.
You Tengteng’s influence goes beyond the stage. Over the last few years, the Kunshan Kunqu theater has held more than 2, 500 performances and tours, drawing over 20 million attendees from China and abroad. In addition, the local government has spent 177 million yuan ($25. 05 million) to support new productions and performances.
4 Why did You Tengteng livestream Kunqu on Douyin
A To help promote Douyin platform. B. To attract more fans to make money.
C. To popularize Kunqu among young people. D. To encourage people to practise Kunqu
5. What is the main challenge You Tengteng faces
A. Showing the timeless beauty of Kunqu. B. Translating the art to different languages.
C. Raising enough money for new productions. D. Adapting Kunqu to the demands of digital time.
6. Which or the following can best describe You Tengteng according to this article
A. Romantic. B. Responsible. C. Humorous. D. Traditional.
7. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. Effect of You Tengteng and her colleagues’ practice. B. You Tengteng’s personal influence.
C. The reason why You Tengteng succeeded. D. The situation of Kunshan Kunqu theater.
C
A sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle eventually does harm to health but breaking out of long inactivity can be discouraging. Now, however, there may be a simple way to ease into more activity.
A recent study suggests that short bouts (一阵) of intense (高强度的) activity every day — climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of things, or stepping up the pace of housework — can provide great health benefits.
“It’s quite simple, but it’s not an idea that’s out there,” says University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis who led the research. “Many people, including many health professionals, still think of physical activity as something that you do during your free time, and you need to go somewhere to do it.”
Stamatakis and his colleagues on the other hand, wanted to understand if daily life activities done somewhat vigorously in short bouts could also provide health benefits compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle.
To study this, his team used data from nearly 25, 000 adults who were non-exercisers. Without these data, it was almost impossible to continue the study. Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or doing intense activities like running during repeated 10-second windows. The researchers also divided any movement into light, middle, or high intensity. Then, for the next seven years, they recorded which study participants died and what caused the death.
The team found that people who did at least four one-to-two-minute high intensity physical activities every day had a nearly 40 percent less risk of dying from cancer and a roughly 49 percent ower chance of dying from a cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. More bouts of such strong activity meant greater protection from death risks, Stamatakis says, “The more, the better.”
8. What did the recent study find
A. An inactive lifestyle is harmful but hard to change.
B. More physical exercises can make you more active.
C. Doing daily housework is also a kind of exercise.
D. Daily short but intense activities do good to health.
9. What does the underlined word “vigorously” most probably mean
A. Energetically. B. Continuously. C. Frequently. D. Creatively.
10. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 5
A. Research purposes. B. Research limitations.
C. Research findings. D. Research methods.
11. What would Stamatakis suggest
A. Going to exercise at fixed time and place. B. Avoiding movement of light intensity.
C. Doing only 8 minutes intense activity every day. D. Carrying out more short bouts of intense activity.
D
In a world that often stresses physical appearance, it’s important not to concern ourselves with external beauty or ugliness. True beauty and strength lie within.
Our focus on outward looks can lead to self-doubt and insecurity. For instance, many people feel sad when they don’t match the perfect images (形象) presented in the media. They might fight for an unachievable standard of beauty, frequently comparing themselves to others. However, this often leaves us empty and dissatisfied. Inner strength, on the other hand, enables us to face life’s challenges with courage and resilience (恢复力). It gives us the ability to bear hardships and come out of failures. A person like Malala Yousafzai, who fought for girls’ education despite facing great danger, shows that a strong and beautiful heart is more important than appearance.
A person with a strong and beautiful heart is kind, empathetic (有同理心的), and generous. They focus on building meaningful relationships and having a positive influence on the world around them. They don’t let the opinions of others about their appearance affect them. Instead, they draw confidence from their values and character. Consider the volunteers in local charities. They give their time and love selflessly, not worried by their outward looks but rather the warmth they can bring. Even in daily life, simple acts like helping an elderly cross the street or comforting a sad friend show the beauty within.
Rather than spending a large amount of time and energy on perfecting our looks, we should focus on self-improvement and self-reflection. We can read, learn new skills, and take part in activities that nourish (滋养) our souls. By doing so, we will discover a beauty that is far more lasting and satisfying than any external charm. Let’s remember that it’s our inner selves that truly matter and have the power to change not only our lives but also the lives of those we touch.
12. What can be inferred about the role of the media in relation to self-awareness from this article
A. It helps people build a realistic self-image.
B. It promotes a healthy focus on inner beauty.
C. It may contribute to unrealistic beauty standards.
D. It has no important effect on how people view themselves.
13. Why does the author mention Malala Yousafzai and volunteers
A. As an example of inner beauty. B. As an example different from volunteers in charities.
C. To show the importance of girls’ education. D. To show the power of changing one’s life.
14. What writing technique is used in this article in order to express the main point of view
A. Exaggeration (夸张). B. Metaphor (暗喻).
C. Contrast (对比). D. Personification (拟人).
15. Which of the following would he the best title for the article
A. True Beauty: The strength Hard to Achieve.
B. From Within: The True Beauty of a Person.
C. Self-improvement: The Way to Nourish Our Soul.
D. Difficult to Judge: The True Meaning of Inner Beauty.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Happy New Year, everyone!” Jimmy’s dad put a plate of hot pancakes down on the center of the table. “It’s the first day of the year. What’s your resolution (决心要做的事) for the next twelve months ” Jimmy’s sister, Julia, spoke first. “I want to get an A in math. I’m going to practice my flashcards every day.” Julia poured syrup (糖浆) on her pancakes and began to eat.
“What about you, Jimmy What’s your big goal for the year ”
Jimmy thought about it. He had never made a New Year’s resolution before. “Does a resolution have to be about school ” he asked. Dad smiled, “No, Jimmy. A resolution can be about anything you want. It’s just a promise you make to yourself to try to do something in the future. ” Hearing that, Jimmy sat and thought. He was already good at math. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a promise about doing extra homework. He would like to be better at baseball and hit a home run in the summer. It would be hard, though, to practice baseball in the winter when there was snow on the ground.
“I'll have to think about it, ” Jimmy said. Then he went back to his room. He did his best thinking on his bed, but he had to step over all of his toy trucks and a few dirty socks to get there. He also had to move his comic books and stuffed animals off of his bed before he could sit down.
Jimmy looked around his room. It was pretty messy. He would have to clean it up before he could have friends over on Sunday. It usually took all day Saturday to clean up. That meant Jimmy couldn't play until he was finished.
“That’s it! ” Jimmy cried. “I’ll clean my room every Friday right after school. Dad will be happy, and I will be able to play all weekend. ” Jimmy smiled. He was happy that he found a resolution that would make his New Year much better than the past year.
Paragraph one:
The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph two:
From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning.

The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. As soon as he got home from school, he put his backpack down and started cleaning his room. He picked up his toys, organized his comic books, and even folded his clothes. It was hard work, but he felt proud when he finished. His dad noticed the clean room and smiled, “Great job, Jimmy!” That evening, Jimmy felt relaxed knowing he had the whole weekend free to play.
From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning.
