The Hitchhiker’ s Guide to the Galaxy (HG2G) by Douglas Adams

This is a comedy science-fiction series about a man’s adventures in space. It was initially a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is extremely funny and inventive, and has a very British sense of humor, whose true meanings foreign readers can hardly make out though it has been translated into French and Italian and so on. But when I read it I feel a strong connection to my home. It was published in paperback by Pan Books, after BBC Publishing had turned down the offer of publishing a novelization, an action they later regretted.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Have you ever read a description of a landscape or countryside that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who is taken to live in a big house in my hometown and discovers a secret garden.

Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster

This book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a young orphan(孤儿), Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. This book always reminds me of my family, especially my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.

The Railway Children by E. Nesbit

This was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It is also set in Yorkshire where I was born and spent my childhood, and follows three children living next to a railway and their adventures.

21. What do we know about HG2G?

A. It was based on true adventures.                 

B. Its language is abstract and inventive.

C. Its humor is hard for foreigners to understand. 

D. It was adapted for radio after being published.

22. Which books are set in the same place?

A. Daddy-Long-Legs & HG2G.   B. The Secret Garden & The Railway Children.

C. The Secret Garden & HG2G.   D. Daddy Long Legs & The Railway Children.

23. What do all the books have in common?

A. They follow children’s adventures.  B. They are British countryside series.

C. They refer to the author’s childhood.  D. They bring memories of home to the author.

B

Singh is considered a hero in the state of Rajasthan, India, for single-handedly saving five rivers that had been dried up for decades.

Singh, who studied Ayurvedic medicine at college, had always dreamed of becoming a farmer. So when he moved to Rajasthan's Alwar district in 1985, he was interested in curing not just his people, but also the region's ecosystem.

Singh noticed that most villagers had left their homes after the local Arvari River had dried up, and the only people who remained were either too old or too poor to move elsewhere. Singh, driven by a strong desire to help the villagers, took on the task of bringing water back to those lands.

For two years, Singh worked tirelessly, building johads (rainwater storage tanks built with stone, dirt, or whatever materials are available) and checking dams that didn't result in much success. Local elders laughed at him, but he continued working with enthusiasm. And his enthusiasm proved infectious-seeing he was sincere in wanting to help bring water back to their lands, the locals soon began to give money and offer suggestions on appropriate locations to build more dams and johads.

Finally his strategy worked. It wasn't long before the Arvari River came back to life, along with four other rivers. People who had abandoned the districts slowly began to move back home, returning to their traditional way of life.

Inspired by his success, Singh runs a non-profit organization called Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS), through which he helps thousands of people solve problems of water shortage. Since the 1980s, TBS has built over 4,500 johads that collect rainwater in 850 villages in 11 districts in India.

24. What did Rajendra Singh do after moving to Alwar district?

A. He paid attention to its ecosystem.

B. He worked hard to be a good farmer.

C. He focused on researching into medicine.

D. He provided free medical treatment for the poor.

25. Why did most villagers leave their homes?

A. The living conditions were bad.    B. They wanted to realize their dreams.

C. They were driven out by floods.    D. They needed to earn money to survive.

26. Which words can be used to describe Singh?

A. Brave and generous.      B. Caring and determined.

C. Stubborn and tough.      D. Creative and broad-minded.
