Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

The winner in Culture critics’ survey is Junot Diaz’s first novel, about a

bookworm called Oscar, who dreams of finding love. It also was named as the

number-

one book by the most critics. “It is a big deal for me to fall in love

with a book whose topic is

science fiction, fantasy and imagination,” says

Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune’s literary editor.

Edward P. Jones, The Known World

Set in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend

——

born a slave, now a slave-

owner

—

The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral

time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks

about the future of his 50-acre Virginia plantation and the slaves he treats

the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.

Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Mantel’s boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the

point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics

Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC

miniseries(

短剧). Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times book editor writes, “I have

never felt so completely buried into a character’s mind, not to mention a

long ago and far-

away place.”

Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Rev John Ames, a small town minister, describes his life and anti-slavery

tradition to his young son in beautiful language in this first part of

Robinson’s trilogy (along with Home and Lila). “I can’t think of a living

novelist who writes more seriously and profoundly about religious faith, which

has become an al

most forbidden topic in modern literature,” writes Dawn

Raffel, who ranked Gilead first on her list. Critic Karen R. Long says, “This

multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (

超越

), and makes a

case for spiritual life in the 21st century

—

its own kind of miracle. Gilead

will be read in 100 years.”

), I have a surprise for you all,

the lawyer says as he looks at his watch.

assumed dead in this case will walk into this court room,

looks towards the court-room door. The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the

door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.

all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a

Working well in a

team requires full cooperation. It’s an important skill

for almost every employee to have. Your ability to do your job is dependent

upon others getting your work done, and others depend on you to get their work

done.

Communicate well. Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a

team’s failure. Seek input from team members so they fell like a valuable

part of the team. Communication establishes trust among team members. In

addition, communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict. Meet

regularly to keep members involved and aware of your work progress. Post

decisions where everyone in the team can see them.

Be flexible. In teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly.

Stay ready to shift focus. Training team members to be able to do parts of

other team member’s jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork; being flexible

helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team.

Meet deadlines. Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you

work in a team environment. Others are depending on your work. Negotiate

timelines with your teammates at the start of a project. Doing so allows you

to have a say in how work gets accomplished.

Establish accountability . All team members must be responsible for the

success

and failure of the project. Although every team doesn’t need a leader,

teams require a formal way to ensure everybody does his part. Try using

meetings to report on progress.

Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not

alw

ays recognize the importance of some team members’ work. Share

congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work are invaluable in

helping you get your work done.

Researchers say current exercise guidelines are unrealistic and argue that

doctors should sometimes advise small increases in activity instead. They warn

the 150-minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people

—

particularly older individuals. And striving to reach these goals could mean

the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public health officials

say current recommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart

disease.

There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, Type

2 diabetes(

糖尿病

) and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults

recommend at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week, in short

periods of 10 minutes or more.

But in two separate articles in the BMJ, experts argue the message needs to

change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof

Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises

people who are sedentary(

久坐的

) to make small incremental increases in their

activity levels

—

rather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to

previous studies which show even short periods of walking or just 20 minutes

of vigorous activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death,

compared to people who do no exercise.

In the second article, Prof Phillip Sparking of the Georgia Institute of

Technology, says doctors should tailor their advice

—

particularly for older

patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss

options

—

such as getting people to stand up and move

during TV commercial breaks.

Prof Kevin Fenton at Public Health England, says:

active every day

—

short periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity

have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate

activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range

of health conditions.

type 2 diabetes.

1. What is the current exercise goal mentioned in the passage?

A. 10-minute exercise. B. 20-minute exercise.

C. 60-minute exercise. D. 150-minute exercise.

2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. A 10-minute exercise has little effect on the health.

B. Heart diseases happen easily to the old in activity.

C. Two-and-a-half hours of exercise is not necessary.

D. Inactivity easily brings about many serious diseases.

3. What is the suggestion of Prof. Philipe de Souto Barreto according to the

third paragraph?

A. People should spend less time on exercise.

B. People should lower their activity levels.

C. People should increase exercise properly.

D. People should achieve their current goals.

4. Which of the following is TRUE about current exercise guidelines?

A. They are impractical. B. They are reasonable.

C. They have no effect on us. D. They are popular with people.

Common-sense Safety Tips for Travelling Abroad

When a holiday is just around the corner, you may be planning a trip abroad.

But to enjoy a worry-free adventure abroad, you also should pay attention to

the following common-sense safety tips for travelling abroad.

1.

Another reason to take only carry-on carriage

—

besides avoiding baggage

fees

—

is that the less you have to carry around, the more quickly you can move,

if necessary. You should always have a free hand. Besides, you won’t be

exhausted from dragging all those bags around. 2.

Lock it up.

Leave your hotel with only what you need and lock up the rest. Take a lock

for your luggage just in case your hotel doesn’t offer a safe. 3. If you

don’t need all your cash and cards, don’t take them all with you when you go

out for a day of sightseeing or shopping. Also, leave your passport in the

hotel. Make photocopies of all your important documents and leave the hotel

with a copy of your passport plus a one photo I.D. Why? 4. If all of your

identification is in it, imagine the trouble you have to go through to replace

it all.

Think and Plan.

Always keep in mind that, when you travel abroad, you are in a place you

don’t know well and you can always be a target. Trust your senses. 5. After

your arrival, ask the hotel staff and locals about the areas you are thinking

of visiting, especially at night. And you should walk in well-lit areas at

night and know how to contact the local police with your cell phone or a

payphone in a foreign country, if necessary.

A. Travel light.

B. Pay by credit card.

C. Imagine having your bag stolen off a restaurant table.

D. You should also make it a habit to take your watch with you.

E. Plus, dragging lots of luggage is a dead giveaway that you aren’t a local

resident.

F. You should call ahead to be sure, especially if your luggage is made of

cloth material.

G. You are smart and mature, so if something or some situation doesn’t feel

safe, it probably isn’t.
