Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been only a few decades ago. , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.

Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.

Signs of Nanjing’s wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, looks over a busy area.

There is perhaps no more symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.

Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music in all sorts of places.

On a larger , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and social

sensibilities? For most people, it's just wishful thinking because there's no evidence that people

are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.

But just hold on a second there. Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie

Murphy Paul. She argues in Time magazine that "deep reading", as opposed to browsing web

pages, makes us nicer and smarter.

Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.

One is based in Canada. Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fiction

appear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the world

from their perspective.

But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn't just about

understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains. Deep reading is "slow, devoted, rich in

sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity". Through processing details, comparisons,

and other literary devices, the reader's brain creates a mental representation as if the scene were

unfolding in real life.

“It's said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer. Paul cites another

study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa, who found that when

readers are enjoying the experience most, the pace of their reading slows.

The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the

page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories

and opinions. It's as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, like

people falling in love.

None of this is possible when we browse web pages. We will eventually lose the ability to

appreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can be

understood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them. And even some educators just

meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.

With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warns, deep reading has become an

endangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up a

book, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.

When Mary Barra took the wheel at General Motors in January she inherited a company in good shape. Five years after bankruptcy(破產(chǎn)), its profits were beyond expectations and its share price was rising. But the new boss's to-do list was long: fixing GM's loss-making European arm, keeping up momentum(勢(shì)頭) in China amid signs of a slowdown and giving new life to the product line. The former CEO, Dan Akerson, warned her that she would also face unexpected challenges. The first has arrived sooner than she might have expected.

What appeared to be a routine recall(召回) of about 800,000 older models, linked to a faulty ignition(點(diǎn)火) switch, has turned out to be anything but. The number of cars recalled has leapt to more than 2.6 million. The company's clumsy handling of a safety problem that first became apparent a decade ago is now linked to the deaths of at least 13 motorists.

Called before Congress to answer for GM's failings Ms Barra said she was “deeply sorry” but insisted that the post-bankruptcy “new GM” was not like the “old GM”, which had failed to deal with the ignition switches for years. Politicians and the public alike want to know how such a problem could have remained unaddressed for so long.

Cars are becoming ever more complex machines, with thousands of mechanical and electronic parts. Last year it happened to 22 million vehicles in America, compared with 18 million in 2012. In fact, GM was one of only three brands that recalled fewer vehicles than it sold. Minor problems, like squeaks(吱吱響) or rattles(卡嗒響), that do not affect safety are more common still. They may be fixed at a routine service; the owner may never know. The growing number of recalls is proof to an improving system for picking up faults.

But it is very complicated. Dealers must record replacements of parts under warranty(保修). The carmaker needs to spot the trend, recognize it as a problem and then determine whether or not it is a design fault that requires an extensive replacement. It relies on accurate recording of every warranty replacement in every region. This system appears to have broken down at “old GM”. Ms Barra needs to find out why.

The core problem is a widely used ignition switch that has a tendency to slip from the “on” position to “off” if a driver uses a heavy key-chain or bounces down a rough road. An improvement was made in 2008 to prevent the problem, which can lead to the engine shutting off, disabling the airbags. But despite a growing list of crashes and deaths, GM failed to order a recall for a component that would have cost a few dollars at most.

This is odd. Most carmakers want to identify and fix problems speedily despite having to bear the cost of buying and fitting a new component. A small part can do great harm, if bad publicity leads to reputational collapse, lost sales and law suits, including heavy penalties. Appearing to put profits before safety is an invitation to battering a firm's shares, as GM has discovered.

So far Ms Barra has handled the situation well. She seems to have acted as soon as she found out something was wrong. GM has appointed a worldwide safety president to cut through the process that may have delayed investigation and action. And in a sweeping housecleaning, GM has recalled another 2 million vehicles in America alone. GM looks set to accept moral, if not legal, responsibility. The terms of its exit from bankruptcy give immunity to lawsuits for injuries arising beforehand. But GM is likely to compensate survivors’ and victims' families anyway.

It is not yet clear how much of a hammering GM will take. But hours before Ms Barra's meeting with Congress, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued a greatly desired “Top Safety Pick” for the new Chevrolet Malibu, one of a growing number of well-received cars from GM.

1.When Mary Barra took office, there was plenty more room for GM's improvement in that ________.

a. the development of Chinese market appears to be slowing down

b. former bosses have failed to fix GM's loss-making European arm

c. some car models lack appeal in the market

d. Mr. Akerson has left some challenges for her to handle

e. GM’s management teams are made up mainly of men

A.a, b, and eB.b, c, and dC.a, b, and cD. a, c and d

2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Problems like squeaks or rattles are frequent reasons for recalls.

B. Recalls are not uncommon in the auto industry.

C. Car companies welcome recalls to demonstrate improved products and services.

D. Minor problems may be fixed at a routine service without the owners’ knowledge.

3.Mary Barra has carried out the following strategies to manage the crisis and quiet the critics EXCEPT that ________.

A. as soon as she learned about the problem, she acted without hesitation

B. she faced facts and apologized sincerely

C. she took the legal responsibilities for their previous mistakes

D. she appointed a new president for global safety for GM

4.What does the underlined word “battering” in paragraph7 probably mean?

A. Benefiting.B. Regulating.C. Purchasing.D. Damaging.

5.What can we infer from GM's new Malibu being awarded “Top Safety Pick”?

A. GM's new model Malibu is specially designed to solve ignition problems.

B. GM products are gaining more and more popularity around the world.

C. GM seems to be on the road to saving itself from mistakes.

D. GM has worked out a solution to the broken-down recall system.
