Why Old Books Are Better Than New Books
Books, both old and new, are great things, but our culture emphasizes that“newer” things are often better. It's hard to say no to your favorite contemporary writer or an amazing up-and-coming author's latest publication, but it's always worth picking up an old book between reading newer ones.1..
They are free
The old classics are usually free or deeply discounted at used book stores.2..The first obvious place would be your local library, which I think is the most important institution of our time. There are some lovely“free bookstores” online such as Project Gutenberg and Bartleby, which provide free e-books.
They show a different way of life from another time
Older books are valuable because they show life from another time.3. .Everyone knows about these stories. Each book has a tale to tell from that point in history. In this sense, reading an old book is almost like visiting an interpretative museum.
4.old classical books have stood out of time, but new books are still in a contemporary period with readers. "The ages bear evidence to the accuracy of their ideas, "Michael Hyatt writes about old books.5..There is no test for old novels to pass because the best ones have been passed on by many generations.
A.You'll remember it forever
B.They don't need to prove themselves
C.It doesn't mean it has lost its relevance
D.There are many ways to find these free books
E.Here's why old classic books stand out from new books
F.Ideas constantly float through our heads daily, but the best stand the test of time
G.Many books are stories or fairy tales from the past, like Beowulf and To Kill a Mockingbird
“Federal weather forecasters are predicting a‘near normal’number of storms this hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November l. Between nine and 15 named storms are predicted to form in the Atlantic this year, ”said Neil Jacobs, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“Of those, between four and eight are predicted to become full-blown hurricanes, with winds capable of removing shingles（木瓦）and taking down power lines, ” Jacobs said Thursday at a news conference to announce the forecast. “And between two and four storms are expected to strengthen into so-called major hurricanes, with winds strong enough to break trees and tear off roofs.”
Gerry Bell, the lead hurricane forecaster at NOAA, said people shouldn't be fooled into satisfactions by the word “normal”.“Nine to fifteen named storms are a lot, ”he said. “Two to four major hurricanes are a lot. So the key message is：We're expecting a near-normal season, but you need to start getting prepared for the hurricane season now.”
This year's outlook is shaped by two competing meteorological （气象学的）phenomena. On one hand, the climate pattern known as El Nino （厄尔尼诺）is happening this year, which generally prevents hurricane activity in the Atlantic. At the same time, the water at the surface of the tropical Atlantic and the Caribbean is warmer than usual. That warm water acts like an engine for hurricanes, fueling their creation and making them bigger and wetter.
While ocean temperatures change under normal climate conditions, global warming is also causing ocean waters to get hotter. The overall global surface temperature has already risen more than 1 degree Fahrenheit compared with pre-industrial times. That suggests increasing hurricane risk, as big and wet storms become more likely.
1.How many storms may take place at least this year？
A.4. B.9. C.15. D.24.
2.What can be the effect of the full-blown hurricanes？
A.Blowing off shingles. B.Destroying houses.
C.Causing earthquakes. D.Taking down dams.
3.What can we know from Gerry Bell's words？
A.People were often fooled by the NOAA.
B.There will be less major hurricanes this year.
C.There has been a near-normal hurricane season.
D.People should prepare for the coming hurricanes.
4.What is the direct cause of hurricanes？
A.El Nino phenomenon. B.The increasing population.
C.Environmental pollution. D.Warmer water of the ocean.
It's tough to see or hear of a friend in crisis. One idea to keep in mind is that it is healthy for the distressed person to feel what he or she feels in the moment. When a person in crisis feels understood, he or she feels less alone and connected to the person who understands.
A person who experiences empathy(同理心)from a friend who can “go there”for a few minutes in order to authentically understand while still maintaining a strong and supportive attitude may be relieving and healing. While a friend is telling you about the circumstance, the first and most important step is to listen for feelings, not ways to solve the problem.
For example, a friend is terribly upset because her husband is threatening to leave her. After fully honoring the feelings, it is important to ask the friend what would help. Maybe it is a good cry and some ice cream. Perhaps it's a glass of wine and a walk. Everyone has different ways of dealing. Be respectful and ask the friend what she needs or wants, not what you prescribe.
Take a second example, say a close friend is being misrepresented by other friends. The friends are gossiping about her. During a conversation with her, listen for feelings. Honor her hurt and shock. The same equation is useful with a partner.
Helping a friend or partner in crisis not only helps the person, but creates closeness and trust in the relationship, making opening up in the probable future. In addition, the person who is empathizing feels positive because he or she was able to help. When a person is truly able to comfort and reassure a loved one, he or she feels vital and useful, strengthening the relationship.
1.What should we do first when we know a friend is in crisis？
A.Keep away from him/her.
B.Buy him/her a glass of wine.
C.Understand how he/she feels.
D.Show him/her ways to solve the problem.
2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to？
A.A way to solve the crisis. B.A way to relieve a bad mood.
C.A way to listen for feelings. D.A way to honor the feelings.
3.How does the author prove his/her idea？
A.By listing data. B.By quoting sayings.
C.By giving examples. D.By conducting surveys.
4.What does the text mainly talk about？
A.How to keep a loved one. B.How to make new friends.
C.How to work with your partner. D.How to help a friend in trouble.
