Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?

A. The book. B. An adventure.

C. A public place. D. The identification number.

3.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Pass it on to another reader.

C. Keep it safe in his bookcase. D. Mail it back to its owner.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour

B. Electronic Books: A new Trend

C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back

What do the world’s most successful people all have in common?

By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Preffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:

Busy ! Busy!

1.In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.

Just Say No!

The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that’s what gives them the time to accomplish so much.2.And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神).

Know What You Are!

Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, focus on—and build on—your strengths.3.

Create Good Luck!

Luck is not magical—there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right.4.By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.

Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “luck school” to test the ideas—and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased.5.

A. Spend enough time to improve your weakness.

B. Achievement requires focus.

C. On average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.

D. High achievers never stop working and they never lose a minute.

E. Busy people are more likely to be lucky.

F. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.

G. Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.

On the day of Chongyang Festival,one traditional activity is to climb mountains.However,mountains are not everywhere for people to climb.Therefore,for those people who live in flat regions far from any mountain,the problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for cake is Gao,a homonym of the Chinese word for high.Mountains are high,so eating cakes can,by a stretch of the imagination,take the place of going for a climb.

The tradition of eating cakes in September is originated from the ancient times.Though the name of “Gao” started from the Six Dynasties,the cakes had already existed in Han Dynasty,which was called “Er”.in Chinese at that time.It is made of rice flour,which is classified into two types:paddy(水稻) rice flour and millet(粟米) rice flour.They are mixed together,which is named “Er”.In September,the millet is ripe.It is regarded as the food just in season,which is offered to ancestors as sacrifices.Chongyang Cake comes from the food just in season in September.That is why Chongyang Cake is recommended for offering sacrifices to ancestors on the day of Chongyang Festival.

In the Six Dynasties,cakes became the food for the season as the tradition Chongyang Festival is formed with the promotion of mountain?climbing activity.As the cakes appeared in different forms,Chongyang Cake was also called Hua (Colorful) Cake in the Ming & Qing Dynasties and became the food for the season in urban and rural areas.Hua Cake is divided into Unpolished Hua Cake,Refined Hua Cake and Gold Coin Hua Cake.Unpolished Hua Cake is marked with caraway (香菜) leaves,sandwiched with date,peach kernel (果仁) and other unpolished dry fruits.Refined Hua Cake is made in either two or three layers,with each sandwiched with refined glazed fruits,such as preserved apple,peach and apricot.
