22、四个选项（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。 A Jennifer Lynn is turning into a master storyteller. She writes about young adults brilliantly. However, I have got to say Stay With Me wasnt my favorite in this series, but I still really enjoyed it and I would absolutely recommend it to fans interested i
23、n the world of young adults. Stay With Me is the third book in Jennifers Wait For You series, which features a couple that have been in previous books but have their own unique story and can be read as a standalone. I like that about this series. Its nice to be able to pick up a book and read it, fi
24、nish it and move on to the next, but the Wait For You series has the added bonus of a more deeper character connection, as theyve appeared previously, you have more of a feel for them and you look forward to their story. Stay With Me is Calla and Jaxs story. Calla has a wreck(严重受损的人 ) of a mother, b
25、ut she is finally coming to the end of college and is looking forward to a career in nursing. She has done pretty well up for herself and now it was her time to shine. Unluckily, it falls through when her mother robbed her of every penny and took her identity. Calla has to go back to her small home
26、town and into the arms of Jax. Jax is handsome and cheerful! He is a waiter in a bar and knows Callas mother very well and he agrees to help Calla. He is true alpha, with a sweet side and is very protective of Calla. I loved him, but not as much as Cam, sorry Jax! And thats why Stay with Me isnt as
27、good as Cams book, Wait for You. Dont get me wrong. Jax is an incredibly great character, well fleshed out and I did care for him, but he just wasnt as lovely as Cam. As for Calla, I liked her character, and I liked the connection between her and Jax. I loved how he came out of his shell and showed
28、her to love herself, despite her unsatisfactory past. There are a lot of intense moments between these two characters and they are so well written. Jennifers writing is addictive and she wrote the scenes between Jax and Calla beautifully. Calla has never been, what she would call boyfriend material,
29、 and so she struggles to see what Jax sees in her and she bats him off and ignores it. Theres a lot of push and pull between them, and its very charming. At times I did get a little annoyed with Calla, especially with her insecurity but Jax soon made up for that! Overall I really enjoyed Stay with M
30、e. Anyway, they are a wonderful pair together. Despite all the troubles that Calla was going through, their relationship seemed more realistic and was made to last. 41 Who would like to read Stay with me most? A. Adults. B. Young adults. C.

33、ome shows have become especially popular for certain reasons. When you meet Chinese people, try to mention these shows to strike up a conversation with them, as it is likely that they are fans of these shows. 1. The Big Bang Theory Talk to any young Chinese person, and chances are that they are craz
34、y about the lives of Sheldon, Raj, Howard, and Leonard. Many viewers describe themselves as in love with Sheldon, and they appreciate the science jokes and content on the show. People admire the young geniuses on the show and the large amount of funny jokes, but also recognizes the shows message tha
35、t being smart isnt everything in life. The university lifestyle depicted on the show and the friendships and witty arguments between the main characters are especially attractive to Chinese audiences. 2. House of Cards China is ridding itself of corruption(腐败 ) today. Its no surprise, then, that a t
36、hrilling and brilliant drama about political corruption currently catches on in China. China is the top country where the show is being wildly pirated(盗版 ) on Chinese websites. The Chinese government has also featured prominently on the show. Even high-ranking Chinese political officials have been k

39、ich as well.

Many Chinese fans also admired the romance between Chuck and Blair, and strongly supported them
40、getting married. The show is full of passionate love affairs, pleasant young people, and brilliant drama that fascinated Chinese audiences. 4. Two Broke Girls Many young Chinese viewers like following the struggles of Max and Caroline as they attempt to earn money and build their own cupcake busines
41、s. This show has become extremely popular in China and is frequently downloaded online. One reason why this sitcom has been successful in China is that for many Chinese who are young like Max and Caroline, they must deal with the same problems in life. Finding work and earning enough money to join t
42、he middle class is difficult for many Chinese people today. The Chinese TV show WoJu (蜗居 ) shows a family working to save money for an apartment and dealing with many situations caused by poverty, wealth, and greed. Young Chinese work extremely hard to earn enough money to buy cars, homes, and find

47、Adam is not a humanoid robot. It is about the size of a car. Adam was built to do science and make discoveries. Ross King is the leader of the University of Manchester research team. He says the robot made a discovery about yeast（酵母） , a kind of fungus used in science as a model for human cells. “ A
48、dam hypothesized certain functions of genes within yeast and experimentally tested these hypothesizes and confirmed them.
