22、There are various advantages of using a pen name. In case the author writes on various topics or in different genres (体裁), using a pen name would be very useful. For example, let’s say an author is an expert in writing on serious topics, like business or finance, and also likes writing fiction stories, like romance. In such an author’s case, a pen name could save him from losing his readers as well as reputation.
Will you be okay with any pen name? No, you should make sure that it is easy to spell and pronounce. If you come up with a name that is difficult to pronounce, maybe your readers will not want to recommend your book to someone. They may not ask for your book at a library. Why? Because it could be pronounced wrongly and may sound foolish in front of others. This is the reason why your pen name should be easy to pronounce.
Not only should your pen name be easy to spell and pronounce, but it should also be professional. The idea is to get a name that should be memorable, not mock-able.
If you are trying to pen your pen name in a way that is too similar to an existing author’s pen name, you are doing yourself no good.
One small trick that could at least guarantee ‘a look at your book’ in the library is by using the correct initials. If you find that a particular best-selling author in your genre of writing has his name starting with ‘B’, maybe you could think of starting your pen name with ‘A’. People are going to search the library shelves from left to right to locate that famous author, and in the process, may come across your book.
Your pen name has to be distinguished because it is going to last all your life.
【1】When recommending your book with a pen name hard to pronounce, your readers may feel _________.
A. nervous B. cheerful
C. satisfied D. embarrassed
【2】If the author of a best-seller of your kind uses a pen name like Patricia, you’d better choose _________.
A. Sam B. Rebecca C. Verna D. Lauren
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Benefits of using a proper pen name.
B. How to win plenty of readers and reputation.
C. Things to consider while choosing a pen name.
D. How to select a pen name when writing different genres.
23、Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone’s mind. Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don’t need or want anything! So, what to do? Here are some tips that could help.
Start Early
Starting your shopping early can have many advantages. For instance, it gives you enough time to come up with ideas for what you should buy your friends or family members. Moreover, the closer it gets to holidays, the higher the prices go up. So, save your money by being an early bird.
Make a List
Here, you can write down everything your friends or family members love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more. Then try to determine how to use this information to find a gift that perfectly suits them. If you are lucky, you should be able to find good ideas in one of these lists.
Think outside the Box
Often, the reason why you get stuck for gift ideas is that you only focus on the same kind of presents. If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative. You can find something your friends or family members can use every day. When in doubt, you can simply put smaller presents together to make up a larger, more meaningful gift.
Gift an Experience
In case you are still feeling a little stuck, go ahead and find something that the two of you can do together. It may be a class, or anything else where you can enjoy each other’s company. In short, you will be able to give them the gift of friendship.

24、Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.
【1】Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
A.It was less tiring.
B.It would be faster and safer.
C.Her kids would feel less confined.
D.She felt better with other drivers nearby.
【2】What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A.Freeways are where beauty hides.
B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life
C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health
D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals
【3】Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A.To give herself some time to read.
B.To order some food for them.
C.To play a game with them.
D.To let them cool down.
【4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Charm of the Detour
B.The Road to Bravery
C.Creativity out of Necessity
D.Road trip and Country Life
25、Having a year-round comfortable climate and being close to several European countries, many thought that Paris was the perfect location for Europe's first Disneyland. But_________speaking, Paris was probably the least logical choice. This is because France is known for its _________ of smirking (得意地笑) at anything American - an attitude called “anti-Americanism”. _________this, Disney opened a park in Paris anyway.
Opening in 1992, this year _________ its 29th anniversary. So how has it managed to _________ for so long in a country that some thought may not welcome it?
According to NPR,“America poses (提出) a danger to everything the French _________ highly”. For example, France is famous for its fancy cuisine and people there usually spend a long time over meals. But the US’ fast food - hotdogs and hamburgers, to name two - _________ a completely different dining style. And in the film industry, while French culture values high-art films, Hollywood’s fast-food-style film productions may seem of _________ taste in the eyes of the French.
“In the land of Louis XIV’s real Castle of Versailles ... why do we need the _________ one of Sleeping Beauty?” is the __________ of many French people toward the US theme park, according to The Baltimore Sun newspaper.
There used to be doubt over whether the Disney magic would __________ in France. But this doubt has been __________ unnecessary now that the park has been standing for 25 years. And according to The Telegraph, Disneyland Paris was visited by nearly 15 million people last year, half of whom were French.
France is changing. Slowly,“its way of life is beginning to resemble that of the country it loves to hate," commented the Economist. Today, even though French people are still seen as “aloof (冷淡的)” and proud of their own culture more than anything, they are already a part of the __________ of globalization and there is no getting out of it.
“At the core, America gives us the same __________ as ice cream,” French journalist Jacqueline Remy once wrote in L’ Express magazine.“It makes us sick, but we keep __________ it.”
