【題目】 Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Frankly in Love by David Yoon
There are some books I would never pick up if it weren' t for review purposes and Frankly in Love is one of therm. I bad heard of this book and seen it all over Goodreads.
Within the first few pages of this book, I was all in. I think part of what was so engaging is that it's from he viewpoint of Frank Li, a teen of high school.
Game of Stars by Sayantani Dasgupta
Just like any 12-year-old girl, Kiran is just tying to figure out who she is. Unlike other 12-year-old girls, however, she has to0 deal with titles like "princess and "demon slayer (魔鬼殺手)”. She happens to be a princess from the Kingdom Beyond, a world where gods and demons existed. Now it is up to her to save the kingdom and be the hero.
Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
This is a remarkable book. The depth of the story went far beyond my expectations. The author paints a picture of Lincoln, a portrait (肖像) of strength, determination, and sacrifice in the face of personal and national disaster. Although some readers may find it rude to use a great leader of the United States in a fictional action book for entertainment, Grahame Smith tries to preserve an air of dignity and honor in the character of Lincoln.

A.A world in a teen's eye.

這是一篇說(shuō)明文!妒澜缰髁x》的作家Jo Usmar列舉了她最喜歡看的幾本書(shū)。
【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Frankly in Love by David Yoon部分的I think part of what was so engaging is that it's from he viewpoint of Frank Li, a teen of high school.可知,我認(rèn)為如此吸引人的部分原因是Frank Li的第三人稱(chēng)視角,Frank Li是個(gè)十幾歲的高中生。因此,Frankly in Love給讀者展示的是十幾歲的人眼中的世界。故選A。
【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Game of Stars by Sayantani Dasgupta部分的可知,Game of Stars不涉及性話題。因此,如果你不想讀與性有關(guān)的書(shū),你會(huì)喜歡Game of Stars。故選B。
【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith部分的Although some readers may find it rude to use a great leader of the United States in a fictional action book for entertainment, Grahame Smith tries to preserve an air of dignity and honor in the character of Lincoln.可知,盡管一些讀者認(rèn)為,在一本虛構(gòu)的動(dòng)作書(shū)中,用美國(guó)的一位偉大的領(lǐng)袖來(lái)娛樂(lè)是粗魯?shù)模?/span>Grahame Smith還是試圖保存林肯這個(gè)角色的尊嚴(yán)和榮譽(yù)。因此,Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter的特別之處在于,他與一位國(guó)家領(lǐng)袖有關(guān)。故選C。

People Think Meals Taste Better If They Are Expensive
It is said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal, it will not taste as good as a more expensive meal, according to scientists.
A new study has found that restaurant 【1】 who pay more for their meals think the food is tastier than if it is offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their 【2】 of how food tastes.
Scientists at Cornell University in New York studied the eating habits of 139 people enjoying an Italian buffet (自助餐) in a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the 【3】 at either $4 or $8 for the all-you-can-eat meal. Customers were asked to 【4】 how good the food tasted, the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names.
The experiment 【5】 that the people who paid $8 for the food enjoyed their meal 11 percent more than those who ate the “cheaper” buffet. Interestingly those that paid for the $4 buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they 【6】. However, the scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total, according to the study 【7】 at the Experimental Biology meeting this week.
Brian Wansink, a professor of 【8】 behaviour at the university, said: “We were fascinated to find that pricing has little impact on how much one eats, but a huge impact on how you 【9】 the experience.” He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals.
In a(n) 【10】 study, scientists from the university showed that people who eat in dim lighting consume 175 less calories (卡路里) than people who eat in brightly lit areas.
