Remember! Compare!” It was an appropriate beginning. reflecting our self-educated founder’s endless curiosity.
I’ve Come to Clean Your Shoes by Madge HarrahThe morning of a family funeral, an acquaintance shows up unannounced and says, “I’ve come to clean your shoes.” He spends the day quietly shining every pair in the house. The writer ends with: “Now, whenever I hear of an acquaintance who has lost a loved one. I try to think of one specific task suiting that person’s need. And if the person says, ‘How did you know I needed that done?’ I reply, ‘it’s because a man once cleaned my shoes.’”
Strange Encounter on Coho Creek by Morris Homer ErwinA miner spends days camping in the Alaskan wilderness, working hard to earn the trust of a mother wolf stuck in a trap before she and her four pups starve to death. Eventually, he is able to free her. Four years later, he encounters a wolf in the same meadow. Yes, the same wolf. When we shared this classic on rd.com in 2019, it went viral and it has now been read by many millions online and in print.
How Honest Are We by Ralph Kinney BennettOur famous “wallet drop” set up the ultimate test of honesty: If we left wallets in cities around the country, how many would be returned?

6 . New Stories Await Just for You
The Origin of Disease
Carolyn Merchant, JD & Christopher Merchant, MD
Containing exciting information and thought, this book could help people find ways to improve or avoid diseases that can dramatically change lives. Pulling medical knowledge together in an original way, it provides a new vision for understanding chronic(慢性的) disease, and challenges readers to think of chronic disease based on the root causes. For many people, medical books can be a hard barrier to jump. but this book is written in an accessible style and format, and contains information useful to the lay person, not just medical professionals.
From Healing to Hell
W. H. Wall, Jr
From Healing to Hell is about the fall of a good and decent man and goes further to reveal the shocking details of how he was done a cruel injustice at the hands of a CIA government experiment with the drug LSD. The book tells the story of illegal activity by officials in power who operated in the name of protecting the country.
The Stuff of Monuments
Richard A. Crousey
Little things occur regularly, forbidding us to recognize their significance. What finally causes them to blossom into sweetness is their fading away. Through the stories in the book, it is shown that the seasons of our lives are made up of the stuff that went before. Nothing is truly lost. As one picture begins to fade, another begins to dawn.
There Are No Monsters Here
Buffy Brinkley
A little boy is afraid to go to bed when his mother announces his bedtime. He believes there may be monsters hiding in his room. However, his fear doesn’t stop him from trying to find them. What his decision creates is a doorway to acceptance and friendship. Out of fear comes delight, and the idea that what we see and how we initially judge a situation can be wrong——that what it takes to overcome our fears can sometimes be the best way to make a friend.

8 . Print newspapers will soon be part of our history. While the Internet and some other media are rapidly developing in a world where people’s lifestyles are more than busy, there seems to be less time for newspapers. The newspaper industry, in countries where newspapers have dominated as a medium for many years, is now struggling more than ever.
Newspaper circulation (发行量) has been declining since over 40 years ago. “I foresee, in one or two generations, a society where you will access a newspaper only from a hand-held screen.” warns William Papatassos, a Blue & Gold advisor.
The Internet attracts most of the younger people. The problem of newspapers is called “the problem of the 18-to 35-year-old people”. This group of people are not willing to replace the regular readers who grew up using this traditional medium. And they like to surf the Internet to search for information. Some experts predict that by 2043, in America and many other countries, newspapers will no longer exist.
Fortunately, print newspapers still exist and offer advantages to readers. “Newspapers encourage more thoughtful thinking,” says the journalist Kathleen Jasonides.” At this point, there is still room for it. Some people do not like reading shortened articles online."
But some newspapers including Blue & Gold provide articles of online editions, bearing in mind the increasing use of the Internet. However, the great variety of specialised information offered by many other websites prevents these online editions from developing. In addition, the newspaper industry has kept its best journalists for print; therefore the quality of articles is not the same.
The only thing that we know for sure is that print newspapers are facing a crisis due to lack of revenues from traditional advertising and the appearance of the Internet.
1. The first two paragraphs mainly imply that print newspapers_________.| A．are facing a greater opportunity | B．are always part of people’s lifestyles |
| C．are suffering a dreadful challenge | D．have been a leading medium |
| A．aren’t ready to use other media to replace newspapers |
| B．regard the Internet as a main source of news |
| C．are the regular readers of print newspapers |
| D．are growing up using the traditional medium |
| A．print newspapers have been gradually losing their readers since the 1980s |
| B．it is believed by some experts that newspapers will disappear in many countries by 2043 |
| C．articles of online editions can increase newspapers’ revenues |
| D．some newspapers provide articles of online editions due to the growing use of the Internet |
| A．in a newspaper | B．in a textbook | C．in a novel | D．in a comic book |
9 . The Eastern Daily Press (EDP), a newspaper covering Nolfolk, northern parts of Suffolk and eastern Cambridge shire, is published daily in Norwich, UK. Founded in 1879 as a broadsheet called the Eastern Counties Daily Press, it changed its name to the Eastern Daily press in 1872. The paper is now owned and published by Archant, formerly known as Eastern Counties Newspapers Group.
Soon, a Google-backed project named Local Recall giving access to over 150 years of Eastern Daily Press newspaper at the click of a button or spoken question will be released. Archant is home to archive that holds tens of thousands of newspapers-with some Norwich Mercury editions dating from as far back as the middle of the 18th century. In 2017, Archant applied to the Google Digital News Innovation Fund to breathe new life into the archive. The company received ￡600,000 from Google and part-matched the fund to start Local Recall.
The project began in early 2018 and with help from Norwich-based artificial intelligence and chatbot company Ubisend along with specialist historical scanning companies Towns Web Archiving and Findmypast, Local Recall has since digitized an estimated 750,000 pages of EDP newspapers. In the process, more than seven million articles have been uploaded online. The digitization process, while impressive, could not always guarantee exact recreation of the text. Factors such as paper thickness, marks on the page and general wear and tear could make results confusing. It became clear there was a need for human eyes to pick out errors.
Meanwhile, a platform was provided for an army of more than 800 volunteers to help proofread and correct the stories from days gone by. Melanie Duncan, 47, from Helleson, got involved in the project after learning about it through Facebook. “It’s a window of memories into our past that we might have no knowledge of otherwise. The project is an invaluable source of accessible information. I have enjoyed every minute of doing it so far,” she said. Soon, users will be able to explore EDP archives from October 1870 right up to the latest news through a subscription service available on monthly and annual price plan.

10 . Concerns have existed long about what’s gone wrong in modern societies. Many scholars explain growing gaps between the haves and the have-nots as partly a by-product of living in large, urban populations. The bigger the crowd, from this perspective, the greater the distance is between the wealthy and those left wanting.
In The Dawn of Everything, David Graeber and David Wengrow challenge the assumption that bigger societies surely produce a range of inequalities. Using examples from past societies, the pair also rejects the popular idea that social development occurred in stages.
Such stages, according to conventional wisdom, began with humans living in small hunter-gatherer bands where everyone was on equal footing. Then an agricultural revolution (变革) about 12, 000 years ago fueled population growth and the appearance of tribes (部落) and eventually states.
This assumption makes no sense to Graeber and Wengrow. Their research, which extends for 526 pages, paints a more hopeful picture of social life over the last 30, 000 to 40, 000 years. Hunter-gatherers have a long history of changing social systems from one season to the next, the authors write. About a century ago, researchers observed that native populations in North America and elsewhere often operated in small, mobile groups for part of the year and formed large, settled communities the rest of the year. For example, each winter, Canada’s Northwest Coast Kwakiutl hunter-gatherers built wooden structures while in summers, they separated, and fished along the coast in less formal social ranks.
Social flexibility and experimentation, rather than a revolutionary shift, also characterized ancient transitions (转变) to agriculture, Graeber and Wengrow write. Middle Eastern village sites now indicate that the domestication (驯化) of crops occurred on and off from around 12, 000 to 9, 000 years ago. Ancient Fertile Crescent communities regularly gave farming a go while still hunting, gathering, fishing, and trading. Early people were in no rush to treat land as private property or to form political systems headed by kings, the authors conclude.
