What makes it such a perfect read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans e to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the superficial(膚淺的)conversations of the school hallways. Literature promises relief，a place to figure out ones problems and get to know oneself better.To Kill a Mockingbird particularly distinguishes itself in this regard.It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. People have called it an “impossible” achievement, a childrens book penned in the prose (散文) of a welleducated adultits unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world.But thats exactly what makes it such a charming read for young people. It alludes to(暗指)the consciousness of a welleducated adult going through difficult realities, but shows it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.【解題導語】本文主要介紹了哈珀李的小說深受美國讀者的歡迎。1In which year might Go Set a Watchman e out?A2015.B1960.C1910.

In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me most was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learnt to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces, some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.答案：Time flies! This is third year that I have been in this school.
