2.Born in Chengdu,Sichuan Province in 1915,Isabel Crook has lived a truly incredible life.Isabel witnessed many profound changes that the country has undergone,including the foundation of the People's Republic of China.
Isabel's parents were Canadian and arrived in China in 1912.They dedicated themselves to setting up schools and education institutions in southwest China.Crook herself was more interested in anthropology (人類學(xué)) and ethnic minorities in China.While Isabel's parents left China in 1942,Isabel would remain and continues to call the country home to this very day.The 107-year-old has lived 90 years of her life in China.
As a foreign girl born in an Asian country that was undergoing significant changes,she had every reason to be curious about what was going on around her.At the age of 23,Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master's degree and began carrying out field research in rural areas in Sichuan Province.
In the early 1940s,Isabel met the British communist David Crook and the two were married in 1942.Their life journey together would continue until David died in 2000.In 1947,the couple was warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reforms taking place in Chjye.aia.In 1948,the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPC asked Isabel and David to stay and teach at a newly established foreign affairs school.The school was the forerunner of today's Beijing Foreign Studies University.The couple brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom,laying vital foundations for foreign-language education in China.Their passion for teaching lasted decades and their students have served as diplomats (外交官) to facilitate China's peaceful engagement with other countries.
Considering the trials and difficulties Isabel has tackled during her lifetime,we imagine she is weathering the current global storm with the same determination and adventurous spirit that has kept her in China all these years.In a nod 1 o Isabel's devotion,in 2019 she was awarded the Medal of Friendship,China's highest award for foreigners who have made economic or social contributions to the country.

3.What do Harry Potter,Katniss Everdeen,and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths?Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called "The Hero with a Thousand Faces",retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth,or Hero's Journey.So,what is the "hero's journey"?
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book.The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message,an invitation,or a challenge.After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure,with some help probably from someone older,wiser,our hero solves a riddle,slays a monster,escapes from a trap.The hero's darkest hour then comes,when he faces death and possibly even dies,only to be reborn.As a result,the hero claims some treasure,special recognition,or power,which can vary between stories.After all that adventure,the hero returns to his ordinary world,but upgrades to a new level.Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero's Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated,because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives.You leave your comfort zone,have an experience that transforms you,and then you recover and do it again.You don't literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort,but you face problems just as scary.Joseph Campbell said, "In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek."
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter?Auditions for the school play?Baseball tryouts?The paper due?
Watch for this formula in books,movies,and TV shows you come across.You will certainly see it again.Also be sensitive to it in your own life.Listen for your call to adventure.Accept the challenge.Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek.And then,do it all over again.
(1)What is the correct order of the following stages of the "Hero's journey"?
①Return to the ordinary world but outgrow his old life.
②Receive the call to adventure and assistance from a wiser.
③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face the life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A. ①②③④
B. ②④①③
C. ②③④①
D. ③②④①
(2)Why is Hero's Journey myth so popular?

9.It was in the bleak midwinter,and the travelling couple struggled through the cold night,seeking shelter.The father-to-be scanned the roadside for some home,some inn where his struggling companion might rest safely for the night.He looked over at her frequently.She labored along,her way made heavier by the new life growing inside her.They needed a warm,dry place safe from the bitter wind.When her time came,it must not be out here along the roadway.Their names were not Mary and Joseph,but Pepper and Cooper.Nor were they man and wife,but rather a pair of dogs,and the place was on a rural highway outside of town.
That December night,Gus Kiebel,a county wildlife officer,was driving home from work when he spotted the pair in the flash of his headlights.It was snowing so hard that it was difficult to see,but he could tell the dogs were wearing collars and tags.What were they doing out here on this road?
He parked his truck and approached the animals.Gus squatted (蹲下) and stretched out his hands to the dogs,which made no effort to escape.Gus read their tags by his truck's jye.aiadlights.He pulled out his phone to call the number listed,but it was snowing so hard that his screen blurred (模糊不清的).He placed the dogs in his truck,on the floor of the passenger side.By the time he came around to the driver's side,he found that they had climbed onto the passenger sent and were snuggled (依偎) together there.Gus dried his phone,took a picture of the pair and sent it to his wife,Katie Kiebel.Then he dialed the number from the dogs' tags.A man answered and immediately grew defensive when Gus told him why he was calling.
"I gave those dogs away," the man said. "They're not mine anymore."
"Well,do you want them back?" Gus asked.
"No.I can't take care of them." The man answered.
