After two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list:
The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Banyan (1678)
A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan’s prose makes this an English classic.
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)
By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist.
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)
A great work that’s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.
Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)
Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart”.
Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)
Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.
Emma by Jane Austen (1816)
Jane Austen’s Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)
Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel—a classic adventure story with supernatural elements—has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.

Now a group of scientists, including ones from CalTech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves(引力波).They announced they were able to see ripples(波纹) in the structure of spacetime.
What are these gravitational waves? Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates ripples. Spacetime is like the surface of the water. So gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water.
It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable. But these are not huge waves. They are smaller than the size of an atom, which is why it took so long to find them.
Since 2002, scientists have been watching for these gravitational waves, using a giant scientific tool called LIGO. They have been watching two black holes in another galaxy(星系) faraway. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, gravitational waves were caused. With great power and force, they rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell. Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some 1.3 billion years later. The National Science Foundation said that each of the black holes was 29 to 36 times the mass of our sun.
This discovery means our understanding of the heavens has changed greatly.
1.The author explains the gravitational waves by ________.
A. presenting recent research findings
B. drawing a vivid picture
C. comparing them to something familiar
D. using proper examples
2.According to the author, finding the gravitational waves means ________.
A. there is a better way to deal with physics problems
B. we have a better understanding of the universe
C. we have reached a new level in earth studies
D. there exists another galaxy in the universe
3.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The black holes.
B. The gravitational waves.
C. The scientific tools.
D. The galaxies.
4.This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. a new theory of gravitational waves opposite to Einstein’s
B. a description of the scientific research on black holes
C. the relationship between black holes and gravitational waves
D. the discovery of gravitational waves Einstein believed observable

Christmas is a time for relaxing, having fun and spending time with family and friends. 1.It can be difficult to find the motivation for study when everyone around you is having so much fun. So, here are my top five tips for revising effectively over the Christmas break.
Set aside a few hours a day to revise.
Find the best time to revise and make sure that you stick to your timetable! For example, I find that I work best in the morning. 2.
Plan something fun to do every day.
Even if it’s just going for coffee with a friend or watching a film at home, this will give you something to look forward to and motivate you to finish your revision.
Explain to your family why your revision is important.
3.So, make efforts to tell them why your exams are important. Perhaps you can agree to do something nice with them when your exams are over.
4.
It is important to take some time to relax. When you do get back to revising, you’ll probably find it easier to concentrate. Pick the most important days for you and your family to concentrate on celebrating Christmas!
Remember that it won’t last forever.
You might have to spend your Christmas revising this year, and perhaps for a few more years, but soon enough you’ll be free of exams forever. 5.Have a great Christmas and make sure you find a balance between studying and celebrating. Good luck in your exams!
A. Spare your time for your family.
B. Make sure that you take a few days off!
C. So I get up fairly early and do a few hours of revision.
D. Sometimes it can be difficult for family to understand you.
E. However, for many of us, it is also time to prepare for January exams.
