It must have been hard to main- train, but Ferris docs a great job. It is really a good novel set in boring office environments.‎ TIIF. GRAPES OF WRATH John Steinbeck ‎ 0bviously a classic and still popular, the themes of this novel are timeless unit echo just us today. Set during the Great Depression. the story follows a family ‎ of“Okies” — poor migrant farmers from Oklahoma — as they head west seeking work.‎ PROPERTY ‎ Lionel Shriver ‎ Short stories from one of our best contemporary writers. Exploring the theme of possessions and ownership from many angles. this is certainly one for Marie Kondo funs. I have long been interested in what it is about things that can hook some people. The drive to possess items that serve no obvious purpose is most appealing to me. Fine, if an item is something given to you by someone special. But if you take a look around you, some things arc probably simply useless and unmemorable. Shriver's hook explores it better.‎ THE LOVE THAT I HAVE James Maloney ‎ This absorbing story is about Marmot Baumann, who takes a job in a mail-room in what, as later becomes clear, is a concentration camp. The amazing thing is the perspective it gives of German life during World War II. Of course not all Germans, probably the large majority, had any real idea of what was going on.

It was a mother wolf. Somewhere there were hungry pups(幼崽）waiting for her.‎ ‎ From her appearance, 1 guessed that she had been trapped only a few days. That meant her pups were probably still alive. So 1 decided to searen for her pups. Fortunately, I spotted her pups. I began imitating the high-pitched call of a mother wolf calling her young. A few moments later, four tiny pups appeared. One by one, I placed them in a hag and headed back down the slope.‎ ‎ When the mother wolf spotted me, she let out a high-pitched. I released the pups, and they raced lo her. I could see that the trap's steel jaws had imprisoned only two toes. They were swollen, but she wouldn't lose the paw — if I could free her.‎ ‎ “OK," I said. “Just a minute and you will be free. ” I applied pressure, the trap opened, und the wolf pulled free. Reaching the far side, I looked back. The mother and her pups were sitting where I had left them, watching me，I waved. At the same lime, the mother wolf sent a long howl into the air.‎ ‎ Four years later，I returned after serving in I he Army. Standing on the edge of a hill, I gave out a wolf call. An echo came and u wolf call followed. Then I saw a dark shape moving in my direction.Hello, old girl." I called gently. The wolf moved closer, her tail wagging slightly.

That’s one of the results revealed in a new NPR/Marist poll about online shopping.‎ ‎ The poll found that 27 percent of online shoppers — regardless of gender — have bought big-ticket items ( $1,000 or more). It's the evolution of digital commerce from the Web's early days in the 1990s, when people worried about giving out their credit card information and whether products would even arrive. Today, many shoppers are willing to make even their most cherished anti expensive purchases online, such us musical instruments, a diamond engagement ring… ‎ ‎ Speed and convenience arc two factors why many men eagerly make major purchases online, said Americus Reed II, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. “What the research has shown is that men go to the store quickly, gather as much information as they can quickly and just buy it online, particularly because it’s just faster,” Reed said. Other factors may also explain the discrepancy between men and women. On average, men have higher incomes. They also tend to be early adopters when it comes to technology, according to Sucharita Kodali，an e-commerce analyst with the research firm Forrester.‎ ‎ Bateman said that, early on，men lagged behind women in making fashion purchases online, but that’s changing. And the retailer's analysis shows that click and buy is their customers' method of choice.“We know that 65 percent of their fashion shopping is clone online，”Baterman said. “That's a phenome-‎ nal figure because that really defines them as being more digital creatures than ‎ physical in the shopping sense.”‎ ‎28.

What kinds of purchases will be done by men.‎ C. Important causes for advanced shopping online.‎ D. Factors for women to buy expensive items online.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A.Similarity. B.Responsibility. C.Distinction. D.Sense.‎ ‎31. What's Bateman's attitude towards online shopping?‎ A. Doubtful. B.Objective. C.Satisfied. D.Disappointed.‎ D ‎ After years of studying the Baka people of Cameroon，Fernando Ramirez Rozzi was surprised to find a sudden drop in fertility (生育)among young women in 2011. He. tried to remember what had happened in the community that could have caused the change. The biggest news was a bar opened in late 2010 in the village，selling a cheap, dangerous mix of methanol (甲酵)and ethanol(乙醇）.‎ ‎ But was alcohol to blame for the decline in births? To answer that question, Ramirez Rozzi, a human paleontologist, compared the number of births before and after the bar opened. Ramirez Rozzi found the fertility rate dropped significantly after 2011 — from an average of 8. 8 babies per woman to 5. 6. And the rate decreased even more in younger women.‎ ‎ Alcohol — especially the dangerous mix sold at the new bar — has been shown to contribute to many serious health conditions, including infertility in women. Indeed, government authorities in Cameroon have banned the production of the kind because it causes major disorders of the. nervous system，cancera， and death. That ‎ the drop in fertility was especially high among young women also pointed to alcohol. because they hung out at the bar more than older women, listening to loud music and getting drunk.‎ ‎ Ramirez Rozzi looked into other major changes, such as higher rates of disease. He found nothing. So he concludes that alcohol is to blame. Other researchers say Ramirez Rozzi's argument is convincing. 44 The case for alcohol abundance causing a drop in fertility is persuasive," says Nicholas Blurton-Jones, professor emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles. Blurton-Jonea was not involved with the new work, but he has studied another group of hunter-gatherers who also struggle with alcohol.‎ ‎ The drop in fertility could threaten the Buka people's chances of survival over time, Ramirez Rozzi says. When he shared his data with the Baka women in a meeting last year, they tol
