By day a Cairo dentist and by night a novelist, he spent years struggling to get published. Today, Alaa Al Aswany is a best-selling writer across the globe.
Aswany was born in Cairo in 1957. His father was also a novelist, who won the state award for literature in 1972. "He was my first professor of literature. He told me what to read and what not to read," said Aswany, who had a traditional French education and then went to Chicago to study for his dentistry degree.
In 2002, his novel The Yacoubian Building, was quietly accepted by a small, independ-ent publisher in Cairo. Its first, edition sold out in four weeks and it was the Arab world's best-seller for five successive years, selling 250,000 copies in a region where print runs seldom go beyond 3,000. Word spread quickly, people talked about it. It was made into a hit film and a TV serial, and has since been translated into 27 languages.
Aswany said, "Society is a living organism and you must keep up. That's why I still practise, though for only two days a week. I will never close the clinic (诊所). The clinic is my window. I open it to see what is happening in the street. You can't get disconnected from the street, as a writer； that's a common mistake. You can be too easily welcomed every night by the richest people and the most influential. It is very dangerous because it is that relationship with the street that made you successful in the first place."

【推荐1】There’s a lot we know about eggs: they are great for breakfast and you can cook them in different ways. One topic of debate, however, is why brown chicken eggs usually cost more than white ones. According to Shaman Hickman, the director of Community Outreach and Education for Hickman's Family Farms, genetics (基因学) not nutrition determines the eggshell colour and thus the egg’s price.
The chicken breed (品种) and their genetics decide whether or not hens have pigment (色素) genes, which coat the egg and result in a coloured shell during the egg-laying process. Although all eggs start out white in colour, shell colour can range from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds, Hickman adds. Breeds such as the Leghorn chicken lay white eggs, while the Orpington lays brown eggs and the Ameraucana produces blue eggs.
Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is the most efficient egg-laying hen, making it a popular choice for farmers. Hens that produce coloured eggshells, however, tend to be larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted layer. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive.
Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently, it’s impossible to know their nutritional make-up from the shell colour alone, according to Malkani, media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference,” she says. “But it's important for people to know that the colour of the eggshell has nothing to do with the egg’s nutrient content or shell thickness.”
What does affect the nutrient content is the specific diet the hen is on, according to Malkani. For example, hens fed with a diet with omega-3s and vitamin D produce eggs that are higher in those specific nutrients. No matter what your preference is, don’t judge an egg by its shell colour.

【推荐2】Dealing with stress is a top topic of concern to young people. Stress has harmful influence on their study and health. According to an OECD survey, nearly half (47%) of Australian students feel very anxious when they study, compared to the international number of 37%. 67% of Australian students say they feel very nervous even if they’re well-prepared for a test. And the international number of that is 56% (64% for girls and 47% for boys).
It is important that schools teach students how to recognize and best manage stress. These skills will continue to do good to them throughout their lives. School-based stress management programs, such as yoga (瑜伽) programs, have proven to be helpful in the United States. Similar programs will bring advantages to Australian school children.
Schools can better support students by providing yoga programs. And among them, mindfulness practice is the most common. Mindfulness practice requires people to pay attention to the present moment and realize and accept feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations as they really are. It improves the ability to get used to new environments for the first-year college students. They will also feel less stressed about schoolwork.
In high schools, students believe mindfulness-based yoga programs can improve memory, grades, and their abilities to control her feelings. Students also think yoga could make them less interested in smoking and drinking and increase connection with family and friends. In fact, at home, parents can consider practicing mindfulness together with their kids. They can turn to online yoga programs and apps, such as Head space and Smiling Mind.
Given the above facts, offering yoga programs in schools may help young people learn to manage stress better.

【推荐3】ANKARA—The wushu team of Ankara, the Turkish capital, practices hard to win new medals and titles in Turkey.
Wushu has grown in popularity throughout the country. In a sports center, young athletes are training strenuously. “We are committed to martial arts and there is a real interest in wushu, which includes different techniques. Our athletes are ambitious,” Serkan Bakir, a well-known martial arts instructor says. Bakir explains that during the global health crisis, wushu, which emphasizes quickness, power and relaxed movement, provides an excellent opportunity for people who wish to strengthen their bodies.
“There are varieties of Chinese martial arts. Taichi, for example, can be performed from a kid to someone who is 85 years old. It can help people stay in good shape. Everyone can benefit from it especially when we have to stay fit to avoid the coronavirus,” he notes.
Beyzanur Karakaya, a 22-year-old woman, is currently seeking a master’s degree in sports education at university in Ankara. Her goal is to improve in her field and eventually travel to China to master the art of wushu, which she has practiced for about 10 years. “I have never been to China or competed against a Chinese athlete, but if I have the opportunity, I would love to go there and train with masters. That would be wonderful,” she says.
Wearing her traditional Chinese martial arts uniform, 13-year-old Fatma Ulukok says wushu brought some changes to her shy personality. “Since I started practicing this, I became more confident. So it has helped me both physically and mentally, and I plan to improve my abilities in the coming years,” the young girl says.

【推荐1】A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty
The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.
The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”
The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.
The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.
The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery, The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, “I was home.”

【推荐2】Looking at a pile of old photos, I couldn’t help feeling rather regretful.
I’ve never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it’s almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques. The bald baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it’s now missing.
Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all live in it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger. With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive (重温) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture. What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.
One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places. They fill one with nostalgia (怀旧) in various degrees — some more, some less, and others none. That’s why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones, they’re even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.
How these pieces of thought influence me! Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment, which may not remain. The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can’t keep, neither can it keep the event.
Of course, there are some of the photos still holding my affection, such as those taken with my family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.
Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others. I’ll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.
1. Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?| A．She took fewer of them. | B．She took photos thoughtlessly. |
| C．She didn’t take good care of them. | D．She only liked the bald baby picture. |
| A．All the past events. | B．All the past excitement. |
| C．Some past happiness. | D．The everlasting memory. |
| A．Feeling. | B．Thought. | C．Look. | D．Influence. |

【推荐1】The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back the sign ( 迹 象 ) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest, before returning for another attack the first time I felt panic.
Obviously satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
1. The brown bear approached the family in order to ______.| A．start an attack | B．catch shore birds |
| C．protect the children | D．set up a barrier for itself |
| A．got injured | B．felt safe |
| C．found some food | D．took away the camera |

【推荐2】The $380,000 aircraft, called the "Speeder", will be able to reach at least 150 miles per hour and have a 45-mile range and fly as high as 15,000 feet when it is on sale next year, according to David Mayman, CEO of JetPack Aviation, one of the companies that create and sell flying vehicles. This motorcycle can take off vertically (垂直地) from the grassland or a street and land on the other side of the city in a similar position. This idea has always been treated like science fiction.
At some point, the Speeder could be adapted to use electric energy, which is more environmentally friendly, but for now, Mayman said, no battery cells come close to the speed and potential power created by jet engines. Besides, like other developing similar craft, currently the Speeder will only be used for recreation and sport until laws and regulations begin to change in America.
Mayman argued that there was a large role for the Speeder to play in both civilian and military life. He said his company has been working for several years to develop a jet pack that could be used by Special Forces soldiers. As their cost continued to increase, he said, engineers began designing a personal aircraft that eventually turned into the Speeder.
Mayman said that the aircraft could be used to transport heavy loads or move soldiers on and off the battlefield, especially in areas too dangerous for helicopters. Unlike other flying vehicles, the craft is small enough to sit on the back of a boat or can be easily delivered by a common fighting vehicle.
1. What can we infer about the Speeder according to paragraph 1? ______| A．It can fly 150 miles without stop. |
| B．It is created by several companies. |
| C．It has already appeared in markets. |

【推荐3】More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled (瘸腿的) and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. As we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.” Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building. He went to work sick, and despite terrible weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.
Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching. On one unforgettable occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving. He wasn’t content to sit and watch, but he couldn’t stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, “I’ll fight anyone who will sit down with me!”
I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he insisted that I visit his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me.” However, those words were never said aloud.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I think of him when I complain about small things, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”. At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”

【推荐1】One night in March, five years ago, during happy hour at a bar in my hometown, I made a surprise announcement to my friends: I was going to shut down my law practice and attempt to travel around the globe in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind. My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends. Some offered support and encouragement, while others were more doubtful.
Once I’d said the words, there was no turning back. It took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order. Once I set off on my adventure in October 2016, I found that travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned) made it even tougher. Even so, travelling overland was the most awe-inspiring way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.
I took three consecutive overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled plains, as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent gazing out the windows for hours as the West Siberian Plain swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for 10 hours. Later in my journey, it took 22 days on a cargo freighter to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia, to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations, and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me flexible and open about all my travel plans, which is advice I give everyone who asks—plan far less than you think you should.

【推荐2】When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire-stricken Australia, she decided to do something about it. She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.
This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem. "I'd never sewn in my life," said Ratelle,17,a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. "Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself so I decided to learn how to sew."
Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to FAWNA, one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from bums.
A week later, she received a photo from EAWNA with a young koala in one of her larger pouches. "It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way," said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.
Several craft websites around the world have appealed to people to make the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison,12 and Rochelle,8,from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, "It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves,” she said.

【推荐3】If you like sun and heat, summer may be the best time to visit Italy, when you can expect lots of both! During summertime in Italy, you can enjoy plenty of bright sunshine, visit one of its many beaches, join in a summer festival, attend outdoor concerts and plays, and have more hours of daylight for adventures.
Summer is the height of tourist season in popular cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, whose rich cultures and fine dining experiences offer visitors a chance to truly see and taste the beauty of Italian living. Keep in mind that in these cities, as with most places in Italy, you have to spend a lot of time outdoors in order to see them properly. Many museums are not air-conditioned, so ducking into a museum might not be a guaranteed way to cool off. If air-conditioning is a necessity for you, be sure to book a hotel that has it. Most hotels, even budget ones, offer it now, but be sure to verify (核实) — some might ask you to pay extra for the service.
Summer temperatures in Italy, especially in the south, can rise above 100 degrees (37.78 degrees centigrade) for days in a row. The climate is generally dry but central and northern Italy can be humid and afternoon thunderstorms are not unusual. To escape the heat, visitors can head to the beaches or mountains — be sure to check Italy Travel Weather before you begin packing for your trip.
Chances are that Italian cities can be extremely hot in summer, so it’s important for tourists to pack for the seasonal heat as well as be prepared for the sudden summer showers and thunderstorms.
However, many religious sites, including the Vatican Museums in Rome, won’t allow you in wearing shorts, miniskirts or sleeveless shirts.
1. It can be learned from the passage that ______.| A．it is rather wet and hot in southern Italy in summer |
| B．not all hotels in Italy supply air-conditioning service |
| C．summer is the best season to explore Italy for tourists |
| D．museums are a wise choice to avoid summer heat in Italy |
