高考题型特训 (一)　40分钟阅读题型提速练 Ⅰ．阅读理解 A (2023·重庆市质量检测) EDITOR'S NOTE A Century in Circulation This year's annual classics collection is particularly special, given it is the magazine's 100th anniversary year． Peeling back the covers of the thousands of editions, published in numerous countries, and dating back to the first issue in February 1922, is always a task we enjoy doing． This collection offers a wide range of different subjects． Each one we hope will inform, delight, amuse and perhaps even confound our readers: from stepping inside the French artist Pierre­Auguste's inner circle of friends(Page 84), to finding peace from depression in a solitary walk on the beach (Page 92) and meeting a cat who held a family together as they began to fall apart(Page 20)． My favorite article, Exploits of Charles(Page 100), is written by a mother about the increasingly odd behavior of a little boy in her young son's kindergarten class． I am sure you'll enjoy this amusing account of a small boy adjusting to his new classmates and teachers． With an endless supply of wonderful stories, surprising insights and experiences to share, Reader's Digest remains a place to find fresh perspectives and a great read． Happy reading!
