It is some of the best quality time ever, and sharing a good book with a child is just a wonderful feeling.Ive listed of my all-time favorite childrens booksa list that can start any childs library. Its a starting point, to be sure-Im sure you can think of many more to be
3、included. But these are books I truly love (and my kids do too) and I think most kids and parents will love them. These are mostly time-tested classics, so there might not be too many surprises here, but sometimes its useful to be reminded of books weve forgotten about. Where the Wild Things Are, by
4、 Maurice Sendak. I can never get enough of this book. It is truly awesome. Great drawings, great imagination. If I had to choose just 10 books on this list, this would be one of them.Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam Mcbratney. I love you all the way to the moon and back! Fun to read this with your
5、kids, and then later compete to see how much you love each other.The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. If Seuss is the best, Silverstein is right behind him. If I had to list just 10 books here, this book would be one of them. Such a sweet, sad, true book, with great drawings of course.Matilda, by R
6、oald Dahl. Perhaps my favorite Dahl book. While reading this book, you want to have Matilda as a friend, and during the time you are with her, she is your friend.Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. A classic, of course, and yet another poor kid who inevitably enters your heart.The Litt
7、le Prince, by Antoine de SaintExupery. Originally published in French, this classic is so unique, I cannot really describe it.

Many people would give into coldness, go about their business and just do nothing. So it was a big surprise
12、when about 100 by standers got together recently to move a bus in east London to help a cyclist trapped under it. A video of the incident went viral on social media.According to Zoheb, a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue, about five people gathered to move the bus. He says: “ The
13、re was no chance we could do it, it was more an invitation for other people to help, really.”The initiative（主动能力）paid off. Diners from nearby restaurants joined in. There wasnt much coordination but it didnt take long to develop a collective understanding of what the objective was.Spontaneous（自发的）co
14、operation among strangers doesnt happen often. People in a crowd are not sure what to dothey dont have a plan. Its one of the reasons, bystanders often do nothing, according to Dr Mark Levine, professor of social psychology at Exeter University in Britain. “The presence of others can prevent you fro
15、m helping”, he says.“The key to positive group behavior,” Levine explains, “is building a sense of shared identity. Action has to be decided quickly.” Levine says. “The longer you leave it, the harder it is to make a decision. If you dont immediately act then you think Well, actually I probably coul
16、dnt have done anything anyway.”But the people who took the initiative like Zobeb might make a difference. The cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the collective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.5.Why did the author say it was a big surprise when the rescue was made? A. Ma

But when I take my seat to enjoy
20、the film and reach into my box of popcorn, Im often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.Its no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger that the
21、 company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was the worst idea ever! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that watching not multi-screening. And if youre out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted by the click- click on someones mobile keyboar
22、d as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why arent they concentrating on the big screen?!But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drin
23、ks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to- 34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.However, not every young person wants to multi-task
24、 at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, dont rui
25、n the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that Im at, please dont sit next to me!

D.Sending messages is the best experience for young people.DI was a teacher for only ten years. In 1926, on my return to China
28、after finishing studies in the United States, I began to teach at my alma mater Yenching University, Peiping, as a lecturer in Chinese. The teachers of the Department of Chinese then were mostly my former teachers.The students and I were good friends. The freshmen were mostly young boys and girls ag
29、ed between 17 and 20 in five classes, each consisting of 30 to 40 students coming from various places of China. Those from Fujian and Guangdong had difficulty in understanding the heavily accented speech of teachers who came from places south of the Yangtze River. Consequently, some of these student
30、s were transferred to my class through the arrangements of the schools office. Looking down from the platform, I was delighted by a multitude of rosy-faced young students smiling and staring curiously at me. Their smiles were by no means unfamiliar to me, being similar to those I often saw on the fa
31、ces of my younger brothers and younger female cousins.I taught a course on advanced writing, which was an elective for students above the freshman level. It gave them a try in different kinds of literary writing, such as fiction, poetry, correspondence and sometimes translations. For the end-of-term
32、 examination, I had them each hand in a self-edited magazine specializing in any subjects, such as fine arts, sports, etc. and complete with well designed cover, aim of its publication and photos. Students of the same class could request contributions or photos from each other, or from students of other classes. They called it an interesting try. The magazines they handed in by the end of the term were very lively and encouraging, each having its content quite in line wit
