Four books that will inspire you to travel the world There’s truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspective (观点) and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help us come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.
ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter This book by the popular author Jess Walter tells a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually appears on the screen in Hollywood. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh to Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $ 28.90.
SEATTLE: Where You’d Go, Bernadette? by Maria Sample Maria Sample’s first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book . What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $ 26.60.
ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel You can’t travel to Thomas Cromwell’s England without a time machine, but reading Mantel’s prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient building and green grass of the English countryside, much of which is still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $ 25.10.
NANTUCKET: Here’s to Us by Eli Hildebrand Eli Hildebrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest is Here’s to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach read. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $ 30.80.

Many of the Earth’s creatures die because of humans choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is human greed—the desire for money. People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person’s life. Declaring a species endangered and protecting it by laws is not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught. During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces sawn off for their ivory tusks (象牙). These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (非法狩猎) were strengthened. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their ivory became more risky and less profitable. However, concern for certain species tends to fade after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested against the slaughter (屠杀) of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see pups being clubbed to death in their icy habitat. The brutality stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever. Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changing in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean. In the years to come, the protests and the publicity will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time. Will the elephants be forgot ten? 24. What contributed to the disappearance of millions of wild animals? A. The improvement of a person’s life. B. Not having enough law protection. C. Human’s appetite for wild food. D. Human’s greed for profit. 25. What can you infer from the increase of the population of elephants in the late 1980s? A. Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts to save elephants. B. Those who killed elephants all got caught. C. Poaching was completely prohibited. D. Importing ivory tusks in all countries is illegal.
26. What kind of animals is mentioned to indicate that concern for the certain species is gradually fading? A. Elephants. B. Seal pups. C. Tuna fish. D. Dolphins. 27. Which of the following statements is the author more likely to support? A. Concern and movement for animal protection should be kept steady. B. We have succeeded in quite a few cases of wildlife protection. C. Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife. D. Humans should choose animals to protect.

for a panel (座谈小组) discussion. Hosted by Society President Maya Ajmera, the panel consisted of science professionals and Society schoolmates. Ajmera started the event by asking the successful women panelists about young scientists faced when entering the professional world. Hackman, a health policy reporter for the Wall Street Journal, admitted that in following a career in science, some scientists dislike the long , seemingly dull lab hours when they could follow a job with more “shine”. About what was hoped for in their career, Angel, who founded Science from Scientists, encouraged the audience to ask themselves, “What influence did I have? What did I leave behind?” She hoped her company, whose task was to help children in grades 4 — 8 develop a love for math and science, will live beyond her. “Even if you help one person,” she reflected, “you have already made a difference”. As for their support systems, they agreed on the value and support of the family in their professional developmen1. Hackman shared her background as a firs1genera1ion Iranian American and how her parents who knew little about science had fled the Iranian Revolution. While working with mother to complete her STS project, Hackman was surprised and grateful because while her mother did not understand the research, her willingness to learn and help made all the difference. The panelists’ stories and advice surely inspired the younger generations to follow a career in STEM. Ajmera was glad to see the diversity among the panelists and the audience, encouraging everyone to continue breaking barriers. Though a career path in the STEM is not always easy, it can be rewarding, especially when you have a great team behind you.
28. What challenge do young scientists have? A. Their work is tiring and boring. B. Their task is hard and stressful. C. Their work is mainly done in labs. D. Their advantages are often ignored. 29. What does Angel suggest to the audience? A. Struggling to succeed. B. Leaving positive influence. C. Determining to be scientists. D. Offering more help to the poor. 30. Why does Hackman mention her background? A. To ask people to love their family. B. To show why she took up science. C. To call on people to value science. D. To show the importance of family support. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. The greatness to be scientists. B. The effects the panel discussion has. C. The need to break barriers in science. D. The diversity among the panelists and the audience.

Learning is so complex that there are many different psychological theories to explain how people learn. A psychologist named Albert Bandura suggested a social learning theory which shows that observation, imitation (模仿), and modeling play a primary role in this process. In Albert Bandura’s opinion, people can learn through observation. Observational learning doesn’t even necessarily require watching another person join in an activity. We can also learn by reading, hearing, or watching the actions of characters in books and films. However, just observing someone else’s actions isn’t always enough to lead to learning. Your own mental state also plays an important role in determining whether a behavior is learned or not. In addition, though in many cases, learning can be seen immediately when the new behavior is displayed, yet sometimes we can learn things even though that learning might not be immediately obvious, which means people can learn new information without showing new behaviors. Not all observed behaviors are effectively learned. Certain requirements need to be related to the observational learning process. For example, you need to be paying attention. Also your retention is an important part of
