I've been reading 100 books per year on average during the past decade.So obviously I get the usual question of what books I recommend.Well，here're my top 4 favorite books of all times，which influenced me into who I am today.
1.Think A Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
One of the biggest bestsellers of all times.Napoleon Hill spent two decades analyzing over 500 successful men like Henry Ford，Thomas Edison and John D.Rockefeller to discover how they did it.The result of Hill's research is in Think & Grow Rich -13 steps to achieve your goal，whatever it is.All other self-help books are just copies of Hill's book first published in 1937.
2.Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.
Another bestseller and the only self-help book you'll need next to Think Grow Rich.Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was amazed that some patients still felt ugly after surgery（外科手術(shù)）.That's when he discovered they also needed reconstruction work inside- their "self-image".Everything about how to use the "mind-body" connection to achieve your goals，and how to feel confident about your body is inside this book.
3.Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin.
This book drives the point home that success in any field is not determined by genetics or talent but deliberate practice.Colvin uses examples from world class achievers like Tiger Woods，Jack Welch，Warren Buffet，Mozart to prove that they all got theirs through years of practice-the 10，000 hours rule.You'll reexamine your beliefs about what it takes to succeed and superchange your motivation after reading Colvin's book.
4.Mastery by George Leonard.
This book also stresses that practice is the secret of success in anything.Leonard explains that mastership never ends-you will never have perfect technique and be able to stop.Instead you'll keep learning，improving，and hitting plateaus（瓶頸期）.The big point in Mastery is that plateaus are vital for improving your skills and that you therefore must start enjoying them instead of getting impatient or quitting like most guys do.

2．How similar are language and music？ Language is part of our daily life，no matter where we live in the world.It is the same with music，whether you listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra.Both language and music play a huge role in our culture.（1）
?Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet，which is a collection of letters.Similarly，we use notes to keep a record of music.Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music.（2）By writing pieces of text or music，we are able to share experiences through time.We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
?（3）You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use.In the same way，we know that styles of music are different around the world，giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
?Both share emotion.
（4）Of course you may be able to see it in my face，but you will know for sure through my words.Similarly，music can sound angry，sad or happy.Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling，and allows us to share in that emotion.When you feel happy，you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness.（5）I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions，often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
A．Both are expressive.
B．Both vary with culture.
C．Here are some of their similarities.
D．How do you know that I am angry？
E．We use language to express our thoughts.
F．So just as you read English，you can read music.
G．In contrast，you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 6:30:1組卷：12引用：3難度：0.5 -
3． From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife，in My Family and Other Animals，English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family's time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell's laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family.This book，Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction，"was intended to be a nostalgic （懷舊的） account of natural history，but in the first few pages，I made the mistake of introducing my family."
Durrell，later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife，was just a child during his family's five-year stay in Corfu.He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book —curious，passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family：his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions，lovestruck sister Margo，sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm，loving mother.
Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book so winning，with every sight，sound and smell of the island brought to life.One minute you'll be laughing as Larry's clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage，the next you'll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea："Lying on my back in the silky water，staring at the sky，only moving my hands and feet slightly，I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained."
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify，being one part travel，one part autobiography，one part natural history，and one part comedy，with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read，it's the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
（1）Which word best describes Durrell's life in Corfu？
A．Diverse.
B．Busy.
C．Risky.
D．Tough.
（2）What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2？
A．I just introduced my family by mistake.
B．I shouldn't have introduced my family.
C．I gave false information about my family.
D．I couldn't help introducing my family.
（3）What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about？
A．Durrell's rich imagination.
B．Some interesting plots of the book.
C．The book's writing feature.
D．Some vivid descriptions of the island.
（4）What is the purpose of this text？
A．To share an experience.
B．To introduce a writing style.
C．To recommend a book.
D．To describe an unusual place.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 6:30:1組卷：14引用：3難度：0.3
