turning into a master storyteller. she writes about young adults brilliantly. however, i have got to say stay with me wasnt my favorite in this series, but i still really enjoyed it and i would absolutely recommend it to fans interested in the world of young adults.stay with me is the third book in jennifers wait for you series, which features a couple that have been in previous books but have their own unique story and can be read as a standalone. i like that about this series. its nice to be able to pick up a book and read it, finish it and move on to the next, but the wait for you series has the added bonus of a more deeper character connection, as theyve appeared previously, you have more of a feel for them and you look forward to their story. stay with me is calla and jaxs story. calla has a wreck(严重受损的人) of a mother, but she is finally coming to the end of college and is looking forward to a career in nursing. she has done pretty well up for herself and now it was her time to shine. unluckily, it falls through when her mother robbed her of every penny and took her identity. calla has to go back to her small home town and into the arms of jax. jax is handsome and cheerful! he is a waiter in a bar and knows callas mother very well and he agrees to help calla. he is true alpha, with a sweet side and is very protective of calla. i loved him, but not as much as cam, sorry jax! and thats why stay with me isnt as good as cams book, wait for you. dont get me wrong. jax is an incredibly great character, well fleshed out and i did care for him, but he just wasnt as lovely as cam. as for calla, i liked her character, and i liked the connection between her and jax. i loved how he came out of his shell and showed her to love herself, despite her unsatisfactory past. there are a lot of intense moments between these two characters and they are so well written. jennifers writing is addictive and she wrote the scenes between jax and calla beautifully. calla has never been, what she would call boyfriend material, and so she struggles to see what jax sees in her and she bats him off and ignores it. theres a lot of push and pull between them, and its very charming. at times i did get a little annoyed with calla, especially with her insecurity but jax soon made up for that! overall i really enjoyed stay with me. anyway, they are a wonderful pair together. despite all the troubles that calla was going through, their relationship seemed more realistic and was made to last.41who would like to read stay with me most?a. adults.b. young adults.c. fans of young adults.d. parents.42the author shows a preference for calla by _.a. analyzing some plots from the bookb. comparing her with jax c. stating what jax did to herd. presenting her sad past 43the underlined expression “came out of his shell” probably means _.a. fell in love with othersb. expressed his ideasc. left his home townd. overcame the difficulties44the authors overall attitude towards stay with me is _.a. unclear b. negativec. indifferent d. positive45what style does the passage belong to?a. an essay. b. a novel.c. a review.d. a debate.bnowadays, chinese love to consume tv shows, particularly american tv shows. some shows have become especially popular for certain reasons. when you meet chinese people, try to mention these shows to strike up a conversation with them, as it is likely that they are fans of these shows.1. the big bang theorytalk to any young chinese person, and chances are that they are crazy about the lives of sheldon, raj, howard, and leonard. many viewers describe themselves as in love with sheldon, and they appreciate the science jokes and content on the show. people admire the young geniuses on the show and the large amount of funny jokes, but also recognizes the shows message that being smart isnt everything in life. the university lifestyle depicted on the show and the friendships and witty arguments between the main characters are especially attractive to chinese audiences.2. house of cardschina is ridding itself of corruption(腐败) today. its no surprise, then, that a thrilling and brilliant drama about political corruption currently catches on in china. china is the top country where the show is being wildly pirated(盗版) on chinese websites. the chinese government has also featured prominently on the show. even high-ranking chinese political officials have been known to watch religiously this show and keep up with the exploits of frank underwood. some chinese politicians consider underwood as a role model, fans create special videos to honor the show, and many viewers like to learn about american politics and society from the show, even though what they learn from the show may not be totally accurate. its interesting to wonder what a chinese version of this show would be like.3. gossip girlchina has become much wealthier in the last several decades, and people across the world always like to observe rich peoples lives and imagine themselves being rich as well. like the chinese movie series tiny times, gossip girl rose to fame in china because chinese viewers enjoyed watching the lives of rich westerners and living wealthily through the characters. many chinese fans also admired the romance between chuck and blair, and strongly supported them getting married. the show is full of passionate love affairs, pleasant young people, and brilliant drama that fascinated chinese audiences.4. two broke girlsmany young chinese viewers like following the struggles of max and caroline as they attempt to earn money and build their own cupcake business. this show has become extremely popular in china and is frequently downloaded online. one reason why this sitcom has been successful in china is that for many chinese who are young like max and caroline, they must deal with the same problems in life. finding work and earning enough money to join the middle class is difficult for many chinese people today. the chinese tv show woju (蜗居) shows a family working to save money for an apartment and dealing with many situations caused by poverty, wealth, and greed. young chinese work extremely hard to earn enough money to buy cars, homes, and find someone to marry, and they can easily sympathize with characters living in poverty and working towards similar goals.46para 1 suggests that _.a. china has been open to america b. american movie industry develops wellc. american shows are very popular in chinad. chinese enjoy talking about american shows47viewers struggling for life probably sympathize with characters by watching _.a. the big bang theory b. house of cardsc. gossip girl d. two broke girls48which of the following is not right?a. the big bang theory tries to convey that being smart means everything.b. house of cards is pirated more in china than other countries.c. gossip girl and tiny times have a similar theme.d. two broke girls tells about a story of struggling for a better life.49the underlined word “depicted” means _.a. learned b. describedc. made d. acceptedcrobots are common in todays world. they manufacture cars, work in space, explore oceans, clean up oil spills and investigate dangerous environments. and now, scientists at the university of manchester are using a robot as a laboratory partner.the researchers at the university created the robot in 2009 and named it adam. despite the name, adam is not a humanoid robot. it is about the size of a car.adam was built to do science and make discoveries. ross king is the leader of the university of manchester research team. he says the robot made a discovery about yeast（酵母）, a kind of fungus used in science as a model for human cells.“adam hypothesized certain functions of genes within yeast and experimentally tested these hypothesizes and confirmed them. so it both hypothesized and confirmed new scientific knowledge.”adams success as a scientist led to the creation of another robot scientist named eve. researchers developed eve to design and test drugs for tropical and neglected diseases. these diseases kill and infect millions of people each year.drug development is slow and costly. experts say it can take more than 10 years and about $1 billion to discover and develop new medicines. drug manufacturers are unlikely to get their investment money back.so the university of manchester developed a low-cost test that shows whether or not a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine. mr. king says that other drug testing methods were not very effective.“how it works conventionally is you use robotics(机器人技术) as well and you have a large collection of possible drugs. you test every single compound(复合物). and you start at the beginning of your library and continue until the end, and stop. so its not a very intelligent process. the robotics doesnt learn anything as it goes along, even if its tested a million compounds, it still doesnt have any expectation of what will happen next when it tests a new compound.”mr. king says that eve is different because the robot learns as it tests different compounds. he says the robot is designed to ignore compounds that it thinks unlikely to be good. it will only test the compounds which have a good chance of working.eve has discovered that a compound known to be effective against cancer might also be used to fight against malaria and other tropical diseases.:mr. king says he hopes to completely automate the drug testing process with robots like eve to create and test new chemicals. but he says humans remain in control of the manufacturing process.50adam can do all the following except _.a. making discoveries b. working in space c. helping researchersd. doing scientific research51the underlined word “hypothesized” probably means _.a. learned b. guessed c. discovered d. created52the development of new drugs is slow because _.a. it takes long to test new drugs.b. it takes long to produce new drugs.c. new drugs are less effective.d. it takes long to profit from new drugs.e. conventional testing methods dont work well.a. abcb. bcdc. cded. ade53eve has an advantage of _.a. testing a million compound at a timeb. controlling the manufacturing the processc. expecting what will happen while testing drugsd. making scientific research54what might be the best title for the passage?a. robot scientist helps design new drugsb. adamthe smart robotc. new methods to test drugsd. scientists develop humanoid robotsdmy trip with my sister and my daughter to manhattan wedding gown(长袍，长外衣) shop, cannot be understood without further focusing on marina, my 14-year-old daughter ive asked to try on dresses.this was the girl i took to kleinfeld, the fancy store featured on the television program “say yes to the dress”. as the trip approached, i asked marina if she was excited. “sure, mom.” shed say, shrugging. marina was more excited about getting a tattoo(文身) on her ankle
