Class Experience
As a professional author, I love talking about books with students, and I especially love urging them to dig deep and think about books beyond a simple “I liked it” or “I didn’t like it”. This class seeks to engage students in meaningful discussions about books while also touching on literary devices like symbolism, foreshadowing, tone and voice. The books selected for this course are modern reads that are less likely to strike students as “required reading”. There is so much to be learned from reading outside our “comfort zone”.
Students need to independently purchase or borrow the selected book, and should have read approximately 1/4 before our first meeting.

I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.
The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind.
The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated.
Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.

C
Today’s globalization discontent begins with Henry Bessemer, whose invention in 1858 greatly improved the quality of steel and sharply reduced its price. Prior to Bessemer, the cost of overland transport was prohibitive, because the steam engines of the early 19th century were so weak that they occasionally needed a push start, and railways supported relatively little weight and wore out quickly. Until the late 19th century, wheat or cattle farms more than 30 miles from seaports could sell their produce only locally. Within decades of Bessemer’s invention, cheap grain from the US and affordable meat from Argentina flooded European markets.
Well into the 20th century, most Europeans worked on farms and they mistakenly blamed foreign competition for their suffering. Their protests eventually led to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff (关税) Act (SHTA) that started a global trade war that lasted for decades.
At that time, the economic damage from SHTA turned out to be relatively small. For example, at that time, international trade accounted for only 9 percent of America’s GDP.
However, the law proved very harmful in the long term, by damaging the political and moral foundations of international trade that John Stuart Mill had described more than a century earlier: “International trade first taught nations to see with goodwill the wealth and progress of one another. Before that, citizens and political leaders usually wished all countries weak, poor, and ill-governed but their own. After that, they learned to see in other countries’ wealth and progress a direct source of wealth and progress to their own country.”
After the Second World War, political leaders finally understood the importance of dismantling (拆除) the previous decades’ tariff walls and succeeded in establishing today’s global order that drove the worldwide tariff average of nearly 30 percent in 1945 down to about 5 percent today.
Economic historians have long known that free international trade does not lift all boats. Its benefits may not be equally enjoyed by all, but its costs, as experienced by European farmers in the 19th century and by American factory workers today, are concentrated and severe. Even so, the broad benefits of free trade far outweigh the concentrated harms.
8. What is Henry Bessemer’s contribution
A. He has built a better railway network
B. He has invented a more powerful steam engine.
C. He has discovered a method to cut transport costs.
D. He has found a way to produce cheaper but better steel.
9. What can be learned about SHTA
A. It helped the Europeans a lot in the long run B. It made people around the world more selfish.
C. It improved American farmers’ competitiveness. D. It brought immediate and huge losses to the US.
10. What is the author’s attitude to lowered tariffs
A. Disapproving. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable. D. Ambiguous.
11. What is a problem of free international trade
A. Certain areas or industries might be seriously hit.
B. Its benefits are usually enjoyed by factory workers.
C. Its costs cannot be shifted to the developing countries.
D. The concentrated harms may outweigh its broad benefits.
D
When we sleep, our brain is still actively processing the day’s experiences and integrating them with past memories. Previous studies have identified links between pupil (瞳孔) size and sleep state, as well as between sleep state and memory formation. However, it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without blurring into old ones. For example, how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike
Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice. They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as navigating a maze, and then observed them during sleep. (Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.)
The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation. One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils. The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils. These stages alternated rapidly. The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, blocking sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) limited the mice’s ability to remember new information.
It is also found that the brain has an intermediate (中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference. It’s like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep.
The implications of the study are far-reaching: such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example. The study also supports the hypothesis (假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information. Catastrophic forgetting, known in AI, is an area where machines still lag behind biology. What’s more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks.
Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results.
12. What do researchers at Cornell University focus on
A. How pupil size is related to sleep state.
B. How people learn to perform new tasks.
C How memories are kept without interference.
D. How sleep state is connected with memory formation.
13. What is the finding of the study
A. Blocking SWRs removes old memories.
B. The brain processes new memories first.
C. Widened pupil is associated with replaying new memories.
D A transitional stage distinguishes old memories from new ones.
14. What is the implication of the study
A. It provides an invasive solution to memory study.
B. It helps avoid large-scale interference and integrate memory.
C. It denies that brains and computers may forget information dramatically.
D. It supports that machines perform better in catastrophic forgetting than brains.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Code of Memory Integration in Sleep. B. Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning.
C. Pupil Size: A Window into Human Brain. D. A Breakthrough: How Mice Sleep with Eyes Open.

As a baby, Jack’s remarkable swimming journey began. At ten months, he already practised with swim aids. At six, he won his first swimming competition in a group for kids ten-and-under. At seven, he stayed at the pool from nine in the morning till eight hours later. His mother, recognizing his gift, took it as her duty to guide him. _____16_____ By a young age, Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country, a title he held for a record-breaking duration.

Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers (同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to “sampling” various activities. _____19_____
In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There’s a need for those with Jack’s early focus. _____20_____— People who start with many different things and accept various experiences. People with range.
A. There was no time to waste.
B. And it was all going according to plan.
C. The growing complexity of the world also calls for more Sams.

At the age of 30, I resigned to start my own business. I felt like I was on the right path. I was busy making plans happen. For months, I kept myself moving. Even when I wasn’t working, I was thinking about work. There was never enough time, and I was afraid that if I stopped to relax, I might let someone down. But the more I worked, the less I seemed to get done.
When I started to feel really tired, I told myself I just needed to work harder and get more organized. But something was wrong. I was very tired and my body hurt all over. My smart watch kept buzzing (嗡嗡声), telling me my heart was beating too fast. I had tried hard to be healthy — I stopped drinking, changed my diet, and lost weight. I thought things would get better, but they didn’t.
Finally, I went to a doctor. “How’s your stress ” the doctor asked. I didn’t think I was very stressed, but tests showed I had a disease called Graves’ disease, which can get worse because of stress.
The next day, I ran into an old friend, Cindy. We hadn’t seen each other for a while, and Cindy looked at me with concern. “You look tired. I don’t know how you are doing, but you seems to be wearing out.”
“Things have been a bit crazy lately,” I admitted.
“Maybe it’s time to take a break,” Cindy suggested. As we said goodbye, she added, “It was good to see you. You’ve lost weight; make sure you take care of yourself.” She waved and left.
Reflecting on my previous behavior, I realized I had been missing the simple pleasures in life — the little but meaningful things that help me relax and recharge, like bonding with my family, engaging in community activities to help those in need, interacting with friends and visiting my favorite bookstore.
Days later, Cindy called and asked, “There’s a charity event dedicated to helping the left-behind children and elderly people who live alone in our community this weekend. Would you like to go with me and offer your help ”

I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try. Accompanied by Cindy, I spent the weekend working as a volunteer there. We organized games to interact with the left-behind children and the experience was heart-warming when I saw their initial shyness gradually transformed into smiles and laughter. We also helped clean the rooms of elderly people in a nursing house, chatted with them, and listened to their stories. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and love. For the first time in months, I forgot about work and gained a sense of authentic pleasure in life.
After that memorable day, I decided to make a change to my life. I still work hard on my business, but I also reserve time for those simple pleasures. I sign up for volunteer activities, finding joy in the smiles of those less fortunate. I have heart-to-heart conversations with my family over delicious home-cooked meals and visit bookstores where I lose myself in the wisdom of written words. With this new routine, my health gradually improves and I rediscover the path to true well-being. I am ready to embrace a new chapter, one that includes both ambition and the joy of living.
