You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone elses life. At one type of library, you can do just that-even though theres not a sing

11、le book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book-meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individuals experience. “Books” are

12、volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their lifeFor a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating

13、 and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs-

14、to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experienc

15、es of others in their community.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a four-day during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this

16、event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most arent places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you dont need a library cardanyone can come and be part of the experience.

17、 There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.The stories these books tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And thats the very point of the organization-to prove that no perso

18、n can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly cant judge a book by its coveror by its title or label.1、The “books” in human libraries are_.Along-held beliefs attracting individualsBinspiring stones motivating people in troubleCevents in which people can talk to voluntee

19、rsDunfairly-treated people sharing their experiences2、The event in Copenhagen is significant because it_.Aaimed to help the young suffering from violenceBattempted to replace traditional physical librariesClaid a foundation for the Human Library OrganizationDled to a pleasing development for the com

21、lainCdiscuss and persuadeDanalyze and suggest22（8分）According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the tex

22、t addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.Using Charles Dickenss nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional cha

23、nge of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickenss own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing

24、his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitar

25、y (孤独的) reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplac

26、e for the father to read aloud Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belie

27、f that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership, Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers。Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social class

28、es by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1870 by t

29、he Education Act, a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickenss readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts t

30、o be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus illiteracy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.A working-class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions,

31、the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in p

32、articular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickenss popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read thro

33、ugh listening.Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously,” to use Walter Benjamins term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in todays world. Modem audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the prac

34、tice. However, while the twentieth- and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some eharacteristics of traditional reading aloud-such as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being the focusit is a far more solitary activity.1、What does the author

42、te her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches.

43、nd quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask

44、 questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read.

47、s. As parents, it makes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like we can never trust our child again. Why does lying cause such anger, pain and worry for parents?Parents are understandably very afraid of their children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protectio

48、n against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feel unsafe because they cant control the information and ideas that their children are exposed to.When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, e

49、specially if he continues to lie to you. You feel that hes going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Because, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. Its just that simple. Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they s

50、tart to blame the kid for lying. Its considered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like hes a sneak, its a slippery slope （滑坡谬误）that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “Youre a bad person”.Kids know lying is forbidden. But they dont see it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know its wron

51、g that I eat a sugar snack when Im not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know its wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesnt really hurt anybody. I can handle it. Whats the big deal?” Thats what the kid sees.So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell

52、them lies, because theyre immature and they dont understand how hurtful these things are. Theyre all drawn to excitement, and theyll all have a tendency to distort(歪曲) the truth because theyre kids.1、Why do parents worry about their kids and feel unsafe?ANobody trusts their kids in the world because

55、r airplane manufacturers are now moving to develop the future of flight with electric planes and personal flying vehicles. Boeing is one of those companies. It recently invested in Zunum Aero, a company working to build electric aircraft for commercial flights. Zunum is based in the northwestern U.S

56、. state of Washington. It says it is hoping to revolutionize air travel by cutting flight times and greatly reducing costs. By the early 2020s, the company plans to operate electric aircraft to carry 10-15 passengers on trips up to 1,100 kilometers. It says the cost of such flights could be as low a

57、s $ 25 each way. Zunum noted on its website that, while America has more than 13,500 airports, 97 percent of all air traffic goes through just 140 larger hubs. By traveling through smaller airports, passengers can greatly reduce door-to-door travel time and avoid long security lines. JetBlue was ano

58、ther major company to invest in Zunum. The head of JetBlues investment group, Bonnie Simi, said Zunum fits the airlines desire to “seek new technologies to change the game.” She praised the company for developing “quiet, environmentally-friendly aircraft” for sustainable travel. Zunums planes will b

The goal is to eventually fly fully electric planes, although most experts believe this could take many years. This is because battery technol

Slovakia-based engineering company AeroMobil is preparing to show the world its latest model this week. AeroMobii is
