Best Books of All Time
If you want to fill your shelves with the best books of all time， you’re in the right place.
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein （1974）
The imagination of Shel Silverstein is on fall display in this classic collection of short stories and poems. Where the Sidevalk Ends is truly one of the best poetry books of all time because of its staying power for children. The stories of this American poet， author， singer， and folk artist have something for everyone.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy （1878）
Most critics regard it as one of the most iconic literary love stories. Leo Tolstoy’s Russian tale of unfortunate lovers is filed with fascinating quotes like， “He stepped down， trying not to look long at her， as if she were the sun， yet he saw her， like the sun， even without looking.” Described by Fyodor Dostoevsky as “flawless”， this one belongs on any book collector’s shelf.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery （1943）
The Little Prince is a timeless tale of a prince’s journey from planet to planet in search of adventure. What he finds， however， are interactions with adults who leave him frustrated. In the Saharn Desert， he runs into the book’s narrator， and the two start an eight-day journey filled with lessons. It’s one of the most compelling short books we’ve ever read. It’s also one of the most widely read children’s classics all over the world. Whether you prefer reading in English， French， or another language， you’re bound to find a copy.
The Shining by Stephen King （1977）
The master of suspense must be included in any list of books you should read in a lifetime.That’s why you’ll find Stephen King’s The Shining here.Jack Torrance is a middle-aged man looking for a fresh start.He thinks he’s found it when he lands a job as the caretaker at an old hotel， the Overlook.But as snow piles higher outside， the hotel begins to feel more evil and dangerous， less freeing and more annoying.Horror fans， take note： This is one of the scariest and best Stephen King books of all time.

We live in an era where we are immersed in information and opinion exchange.However， all this information often does little to change our minds.Therefore， it is more relevant than ever to examine the psychology of human belief.
In his book The Idiot Brain， Dr.Dean Burnett describes the human tendency to stubbornly stick to beliefs as “anti-intellectualism”.He explained that this shows the brain’s self preserving bias （偏见）.“The brain focuses on personal interests and refuses to accept anything that will lead to the bad image of self，” Dr.Burnett remarks.
In addition， researcher Dr.Tali Sharot studies the optimism bias， which keeps people happily unaware of anything that can disturb their emotional survival.Just think about how many people get married thinking that they will never divorce， when the divorce rate in the UK is more than forty percent.
After all， people are not driven by facts alone.And if this is quite difficult to understand， consider that science denialism is a social phenomenon， the most recent example being pandemic deniers.Similarly， some people believe that the Earth is flat while others are skeptical about the climate crisis.
So what influences our belief system？ Dr. Sharot suggests that individuals are motivated by fears， hopes， desires or prior beliefs rather than by facts alone.Information has filled our society and we are not so sensitive any more.All that remains important is how information is presented； positive reinforcement （强化） and personal motivation are important if we really decide to support a belief.Negative presentation of hard facts are not always powerful enough to replace well-established principles.For example， studies have shown that people are more likely to exercise when they are informed about the advantages of physical activity rather than when they are warned about health risks.
4.What does self preserving bias lead us to do？（ ）
A.Believe whatever we hear blindly.
B.Reject bad news about ourselves.
C.Spread wrong ideas to other people.
D.Collect all information about ourselves.
5.What do we learn about the optimism bias？（ ）
A.It makes us ignore possible risks.
B.It makes us believe in others easily.
C.It helps us avoid worries in our lives.
D.It helps us solve emotional problems.
6.What message does the author try to convey in Paragraph 4？（ ）
A.Facts aren’t accepted by all.
B.It’s hard to persuade people.
C.Science isn’t popular nowadays.
D.Some people are simply ridiculous.
7.What should we tell a smoker according to the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Smoking is really a waste of money.
B.Quitting smoking won’t be that difficult.
C.Smoking does great harm to your health.
D.Quitting smoking will make you live longer.

Climbing Everest has been a dream for many people ever since Edmund Hillary and his guide， Tenzing Norgay， reached the top of the mountain in 1953.
At one time， only experienced mountaineers tried to climb Everest.But the cost of such an effort has decreased.This has led more and more inexperienced climbers to try to reach the top of Everest.Nepal only requires that climbers have a note from a medical doctor saying they are physically fit.Climbers do not have to prove they have the strength or ability to perform at extreme heights.
The climbing industry brings in $300 million each year for Nepal.This year， the government of Nepal issued Everest permits to 381 people， the highest number ever.Anyone can get a permit for an $11，000 fee.
The number of climbers who have died this season is the highest since 2015.Most of those who died are believed to have suffered from altitude sickness.The condition is caused by low amounts of oxygen in extremely high places.It can lead to severe headaches， stomach sickness， shortness of breath and mental confusion.Because of the altitude， climbers have just hours to reach the top before they are at risk of having their lungs fill with liquid.
Among those who have died at Everest this year is American Christopher Kulish.He was from the state of Colorado.Kulish died on his way down， shortly after reaching the top.Just before he died， Kulish made it into the so-called “Seven Summit Club” of mountaineers who have reached the highest peaks on every continent， his brother said.
Mirza Ali is a Pakistani mountaineer and tour operator who reached Everest’s peak for the first time this month.It was his fourth time trying.He said，“Everybody wants to stand on top of the world.” But he said visitors who are unprepared for the extremes of Everest harm the mountaineering industry.
Ali added，“The more people come， the more permits， more business.But on the other side of it is a lot of risk because it is costing lives.”
8.What made many people climb Everest according to the author？（ ）
A.Their strong will.
B.Their great interest.
C.Nepal’s low requirement.
D.Nepal’s financial support.
9.What led to most climbers’ death this season？（ ）
A.Their being in poor health.
B.A lack of help from friends.
C.Diseases caused by altitude.
D.Their having no experience.
10.What do we learn about Christopher Kulish？（ ）
A.He nearly reached the top.
B.He has achieved his dream.
C.He died when climbing Everest.
D.He made an unsuccessful attempt.
11.What attitude does Mirza Ali take towards more people’s climbing Everest？（ ）
A.Negative. B.Confused.
C.Supportive. D.Sympathetic.

Famous American poet Robert Frost once said， “Poetry is what gets lost in translation.” Although it is not impossible to translate poetry， Xu Yuanchong， a well-known Chinese translator， has striven to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life.
His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation，“You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm， but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty， which is quite extraordinary.”
Xu has just turned 100 years old.On 1 April， China Translation and Publishing House published a series of commemorative （纪念的） books about his life and career to pay tribute to this centenarian.
Since 1978， Xu has published more than 100 translated novels， anthologies （选集） and plays in Chinese， English and French， reaching potentially millions of readers at home and abroad.Most notably， he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French.He is also the first Asian winner of the “Aurora Borealis Prize” for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu is known to be very fastidious in his work.He has dedicated his life to “translating beautifully”.For him， English is a “scientific” language that demands accuracy， while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content.Following this principle， Xu not only keeps faithfulness in sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.
Through Xu’s translations， time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world at large.
For instance， when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a controversial healthcare reform during his presidency， some senators were opposed at first.But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow （《江雪》） translated by Xu， one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent， non-conformist （不墨守成规的） thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama， noted NewsChina.
Having made such great achievements， the 100-year-old remains diligent.He lives alone in an old house near Peking University.In his simple room， decorated with traditional Chinese furniture， he maintains a routine.Every day he translates roughly 1，000 words， working till 3 to 4 am， sleeping about 3 hours and getting up at 6 am to continue.
“Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul.A sudden flash of a good word or a good line thrills every inch of my skin，” Xu told NewsChina.
12.What does the article tell us about Xu Yuanchong？（ ）
A.He’s the first winner of The Aurora Borealis Prize.
B.He has translated about 100 Chinese literary works into English.
C.He is widely known for his translated rhymed verse.
D.He has mastered at least three foreign languages.
13.What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean？（ ）
A.Particular. B.Satisfied.
C.Inventive. D.Productive.
14.Why was Barack Obama mentioned in the article？（ ）
A.To show Xu’s popularity.
B.To illustrate Xu’s influence.
C.To introduce his reform.
D.To stress Xu’s wisdom.
15.Which of the following can best describe Xu？（ ）
A.Modest and insightful.
B.Considerate and cautious.
C.Creative and open-minded.
D.Dedicated and passionate.

2.D 细节理解题。根据Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein （1974）部分第二句可知，《人行道的尽头》是有史以来最好的诗歌书之一，因为它对孩子们的吸引力很强；根据The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery （1943）部分中的It’s also one of the most widely read children’s classics all over the world.可知，它也是世界上最广泛阅读的儿童经典之一。由此可知，《人行道的尽头》和《小王子》的共同点是它们都是儿童读物。
3.C 推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是第一段可知，本文主要介绍的是四本世界名著，属于文学范畴，所以应该出现在报纸中的“文化”板块。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们生活在一个被信息与观点包围的世界，可是，要改变我们已有的观念却并不是一件容易的事。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，self preserving bias指一种自我保护的偏见，这种偏见导致我们的大脑会自动排斥那些有损我们形象的负面信息。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，optimism bias指一种盲目乐观的偏见，它让我们忽略那些让我们情感不适的因素，盲目地相信坏事不会发生在自己头上。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，本段主要告诉我们有些人排斥科学、否定事实；对这些人而言，观念的形成跟客观事实无关。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，在传递有些观念时，负面的威胁不如正面的强化更有效，也就是告知对方一件事能带来的好处。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。如今越来越多的人选择攀登珠穆朗玛峰，可是，过于宽松的限制导致很多攀登者丧命。
8.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，尼泊尔对登山者的要求非常低，这导致很多没有经验的人也加入了攀登珠峰的大军。

11.A 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Mirza Ali认为，那些没有经验的人攀登珠峰破坏了登山这个行业；很多人登山促进了当地经济的发展，可是却忽视了巨大的风险。

12.C 推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段可知，许渊冲以他翻译的押韵诗而闻名。

14.B 推理判断题。根据第六段以及第七段中的For instance可推断，这里举例子是为了阐明许渊冲的作品在西方社会和世界有很大的影响力。
15.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Having made such great achievements， the 100-year-old remains diligent.以及最后一段可推断，许渊冲先生即使100岁高龄还要每天翻译作品，并且他认为翻译是与作者灵魂交流的方式。由此可知，他对翻译事业的奉献和热爱。

Best Books of All Time
If you want to fill your shelves with the best books of all time，
you’re in the right place.
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein （1974）
The imagination of Shel Silverstein is on fall display in this classic
collection of short stories and poems. Where the Sidevalk Ends is truly one
of the best poetry books of all time because of its staying power for
children. The stories of this American poet， author， singer， and folk
artist have something for everyone.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy （1878）
Most critics regard it as one of the most iconic literary love stories.
Leo Tolstoy’s Russian tale of unfortunate lovers is filed with fascinating
quotes like， “He stepped down， trying not to look long at her， as if
she were the sun， yet he saw her， like the sun， even without
looking.” Described by Fyodor Dostoevsky as “flawless”， this one
belongs on any book collector’s shelf.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery （1943）
The Little Prince is a timeless tale of a prince’s journey from planet
to planet in search of adventure. What he finds， however， are
interactions with adults who leave him frustrated. In the Saharn Desert，
he runs into the book’s narrator， and the two start an eight-day journey
filled with lessons. It’s one of the most compelling short books we’ve
ever read. It’s also one of the most widely read children’s classics all
over the world. Whether you prefer reading in English， French， or
another language， you’re bound to find a copy.
The Shining by Stephen King （1977）
The master of suspense must be included in any list of books you
should read in a lifetime.That’s why you’ll find Stephen King’s The
Shining here.Jack Torrance is a middle-aged man looking for a fresh
start.He thinks he’s found it when he lands a job as the caretaker at an
old hotel， the Overlook.But as snow piles higher outside， the hotel
begins to feel more evil and dangerous， less freeing and more
annoying.Horror fans， take note： This is one of the scariest and best
Stephen King books of all time.

We live in an era where we are immersed in information and opinion
exchange.However， all this information often does little to change our
minds.Therefore， it is more relevant than ever to examine the
psychology of human belief.
In his book The Idiot Brain， Dr.Dean Burnett describes the human
tendency to stubbornly stick to beliefs as “anti-intellectualism”.He
explained that this shows the brain’s self preserving bias （偏
见）.“The brain focuses on personal interests and refuses to accept
anything that will lead to the bad image of self，” Dr.Burnett remarks.
In addition， researcher Dr.Tali Sharot studies the optimism bias，
which keeps people happily unaware of anything that can disturb their
emotional survival.Just think about how many people get married thinking
that they will never divorce， when the divorce rate in the UK is more
than forty percent.
After all， people are not driven by facts alone.And if this is quite
difficult to understand， consider that science denialism is a social
phenomenon， the most recent example being pandemic
deniers.Similarly， some people believe that the Earth is flat while others
are skeptical about the climate crisis.
So what influences our belief system？ Dr. Sharot suggests that
individuals are motivated by fears， hopes， desires or prior beliefs rather
than by facts alone.Information has filled our society and we are not so
sensitive any more.All that remains important is how information is
presented； positive reinforcement （强化） and personal motivation are
important if we really decide to support a belief.Negative presentation of
hard facts are not always powerful enough to replace well-established
principles.For example， studies have shown that people are more likely
to exercise when they are informed about the advantages of physical
activity rather than when they are warned about health risks.

Climbing Everest has been a dream for many people ever since
Edmund Hillary and his guide， Tenzing Norgay， reached the top of the
mountain in 1953.
At one time， only experienced mountaineers tried to climb
Everest.But the cost of such an effort has decreased.This has led more and
more inexperienced climbers to try to reach the top of Everest.Nepal only
requires that climbers have a note from a medical doctor saying they are
physically fit.Climbers do not have to prove they have the strength or
ability to perform at extreme heights.
The climbing industry brings in $300 million each year for
Nepal.This year， the government of Nepal issued Everest permits to 381
people， the highest number ever.Anyone can get a permit for an $11，
000 fee.
The number of climbers who have died this season is the highest since
2015.Most of those who died are believed to have suffered from altitude
sickness.The condition is caused by low amounts of oxygen in extremely
high places.It can lead to severe headaches， stomach sickness，
shortness of breath and mental confusion.Because of the altitude，
climbers have just hours to reach the top before they are at risk of having
their lungs fill with liquid.
Among those who have died at Everest this year is American
Christopher Kulish.He was from the state of Colorado.Kulish died on his
way down， shortly after reaching the top.Just before he died， Kulish
made it into the so-called “Seven Summit Club” of mountaineers who
have reached the highest peaks on every continent， his brother said.
Mirza Ali is a Pakistani mountaineer and tour operator who reached
Everest’s peak for the first time this month.It was his fourth time
trying.He said，“Everybody wants to stand on top of the world.” But
he said visitors who are unprepared for the extremes of Everest harm the
mountaineering industry.
Ali added，“The more people come， the more permits， more
business.But on the other side of it is a lot of risk because it is costing
lives.”

Famous American poet Robert Frost once said， “Poetry is what
gets lost in translation.” Although it is not impossible to translate
poetry， Xu Yuanchong， a well-known Chinese translator， has striven
to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life.
His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation，
“You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm， but the dance
shows amazing freedom and beauty， which is quite extraordinary.”
Xu has just turned 100 years old.On 1 April， China Translation and
Publishing House published a series of commemorative （纪念的） books
about his life and career to pay tribute to this centenarian.
Since 1978， Xu has published more than 100 translated novels，
anthologies （选集） and plays in Chinese， English and French，
reaching potentially millions of readers at home and abroad.Most
notably， he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English
and French.He is also the first Asian winner of the “Aurora Borealis
Prize” for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu is known to be very fastidious in his work.He has dedicated his
life to “translating beautifully”.For him， English is a “scientific”
language that demands accuracy， while Chinese is an “artistic”
language that includes a wider range of content.Following this principle，
Xu not only keeps faithfulness in sense but beauty in sensibility in his
translation.
Through Xu’s translations， time-honored Chinese wisdom has
made an impact on Western societies and the world at large.
For instance， when former US president Barack Obama tried to
begin a controversial healthcare reform during his presidency， some
senators were opposed at first.But after reading the poem titled Fishing in
Snow （《江雪》） translated by Xu， one senator was so impressed
with the fisherman’s independent， non-conformist （不墨守成规的）
thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama， noted
NewsChina.
Having made such great achievements， the 100-year-old remains
diligent.He lives alone in an old house near Peking University.In his
simple room， decorated with traditional Chinese furniture， he maintains
a routine.Every day he translates roughly 1，000 words， working till 3
to 4 am， sleeping about 3 hours and getting up at 6 am to continue.
“Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul.A
sudden flash of a good word or a good line thrills every inch of my
skin，” Xu told NewsChina.
