Now Gates -who has been labeleda “greedy” readerhas released a list of his favorite books of the year.All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, mostof which are focused on business and economy.Here are Bills top four picks for the year (with parts of his fullreview of each book).Business Adventures, by John BrooksBrooks collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gatesfavorites. He re-read it again this year, labeling it “the best businessbook Ive ever read”.“Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection ofNew Yorker business articles from the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them asmuch as he did. Brooks insights about business have aged beautifully,and they are as true today as ever.”Capital in the Twenty-First Century, by Thomas PikettyPikettys novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked muchdiscussion concerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates alsogot to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction workto discuss the topic.“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondarypoints and policy prescriptions, I agree with his most importantconclusions: inequality is a growing problem and that governments shouldplay a role in reducing it.”How Asia Works, by Joe StudwellStudwells work, which was published in May this year, addresseshow countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued toachieve high growth, and why other countries have failed to do the same.“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful.It provided ample food for thought for me as well as the whole agricultureteam at our foundation. And it left us thinking about whether parts ofthe Asian model can apply in Africa.MakingtheModernWorld:MaterialsandDematerialization,byVaelavSmilSmils books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft founderone of his books makes Gates list almost every year. MakingtheModern World came out late last year and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood, and plastic.“If anyone tries to tell you were using fewer materials, send him this book. With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with less materialssay, soda cans that need less aluminum makes them cheaper, which actually encourages more production.”21.

I usually spent my time thinking aboutmyself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didnt change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people.In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating theselfishness slowly out of me.Still, I didnt give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.Carolyn Arends wrote: The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing. So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.24.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A. He often helped his brother with housework. B. He studied hard for his family.C.

While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your bodys toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the bodys toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especiallythose who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapycan help cure many diseases, including back pain.28. What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A. Washing the body with cold water. B.

It is popular with people with its excellent effects.D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A.

How to live comfortably in summerDChildren often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate.When my ex-husband and I broke up after 10 years of marriage, our daughterwas 5 years old and our son only 3. We decided to see a psychologist aboutthe best way to explain this new situation to the children. She sharedwith us this special story about a land turtle and a sea turtle, whichwe then used to help them better comprehend.Once upon a time, a land turtle (Mommy) met a sea turtle (Daddy) closeto a beautiful shore. Soon they fell deeply in love and decided to getmarried. For a time, they continued to live at the waters edge so thatMommy could sit on the sand and keep dry and warm, while Daddy sat in theshallow water to keep cool. A few years later two baby turtles arrived.They were very special indeed, and looked a little like each of their parents.But as the years went by, Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls. Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods. Little by little, Daddy and Mommy turtle started to drift apart. Finally one day, Mommy and Daddy turtle decided they didn t want to live together any more. The little turtles continued to spend time with each of their parents. They made lots of friends with all the fish, dolphins and whales in the ocean and also many friends with the rabbits, deer, and foxes in the woods. In fact they grew up to be a new kind of turtle that could live both in the ocean and on the land.Over the years, this tale of the land and sea turtle has helped my children cope and accept the fact that my marriage to their father was over. They know that we once loved each other very much and that they were born out of true love.32. When the parents divorce, their children often feel .A. unsafeB. relievedc. indifferentD. annoyed33.
