yann martel won the man booker prize and an asian american prize for literature. it is the story of a young boy named pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.piscine “pi” molitor patel, on whom life of pi is based, is a young boy living in pondicherry, india, where his father owns a zoo. the story starts when patels family decide to move to canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home. however, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. pi along with an orangutan (猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena (鬛狗) and a bengal tiger named richard parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat. both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena. the tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.in an effort to avoid being eaten by richard parker, pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm. since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.the life of pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest, leaving pi alone. after the mexicans refuse to believe pis story, he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the mexicans which one they prefer. they prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.in my view, life of pi is a mustread book for all those who love reading.5in the book life of pi the hyena is killed by_.api bthe zebracthe orangutan drichard parker6how does pi escape being eaten by the

that there was a machine that would do all the work for you? thats the situation presented to sam, kelsey, judy and brenton in dan gunmans entertaining new book for young readers, the homework machine.the four children, all fifth graders in miss rasmussens class at grand canyon school, are as different as any other 11- year-old children could be, but they have one thing in commonall are somewhat separated from their classmates. sam is a newcomer and has had his share of school trouble before; kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father；judys sense of justice always annoys others；and brentonwell, he is another story entirely. brenton is the smartest child in the school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him. when brenton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their teacher, the others discover that brenton has made a timesaving gadget(装置)to do his homework for him. while the boy is perfectly able to do the homework himself, sam, kelsey and judy could use the help.having perfect grades is something new for these three, and as they meet every day to “do homework”, they find that theyre learning a lot about each other. such a good thing cant last, though, and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch with them, the children begin to get nervous. soon theres an even more frightening problemwhy cant the homework machine be turned off?gunman is a gifted writer who has written dozens of childrens books, each with a funny and impressing tale that should be equally liked by boys and girls.8.

special. dhe is quiet and smart. 10why did the children get frightened?athey had no idea how to stop the machine.bthey lost the connection with each other.cthey were questioned by a strange man.dthey were tracked down by the police.done day when i was 12, my mother gave me an order: i was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. this was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange probleminability to read.in the library, i found my way into the “childrens room”i sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. the cover of a book caught my eye. it presented a picture of a beagle. i had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion i ever had as a child. he was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. i never forgot my beagle.there on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog. i ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. my eyes ran across the title, amos, the beagle with a plan. unknowingly, i had read the title. without opening the book, i borrowed it from the library for the summer.under the shade of a bush, i started to read about amos. i read very, very slowly with difficulty. though pages were turned slowly, i got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. that dog was my dog, and i was the little boy in the book. at the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and i were, in my mind, running together.my mothers call returned me to the real world. i suddenly realized something: i had read a book, and i had loved reading that book. everyone knew i could not read. but i had read it. books could be incredibly wonderful and i was going to read them.i never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. and years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a phd in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. the power of the words has held.11the authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to_.aencourage him to do more walking blet him spend a meaningful
