• 1．We all remember the first adventure novel where for the first time our imaginations were lit by whispers of buried treasure，lost worlds，and faraway jungles.As Jane Eyre says： "It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility：they must have action；and they will make it if they cannot find it."
     Luckily，here are some of the best adventure books，which might make the act of finding action easier for you!Click on the book name for detailed information.
  Jaws by Peter Benchley
     The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg's blockbuster movie - which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975.Jaws is the story of three men's quest to kill a human-eating great white shark.It's a high-stakes adventure on the sea，which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined.
  Childen of the Comet by Donald Moffitt
      In the far future，a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living.But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets - and humans on starships - appear on the scene？This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense，as our young hero，Torris，tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice.
  Children of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
     This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle.Named Tarzan，the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts：the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans.
  Raptor Red by Robert T.Bakker
     Unlike any other book out there，Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red，a female Utahraptor.Robert T.Bakker，the author，expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period to bring a prehistoric Earth to life as Raptor Red struggles to survive in a dinosaur-eat- dinosaur world.

     Jamaal，a high school teacher who grew up in southern Oregon of the USA，revealed that most people he meets are always surprised when they discover he's white.He said that one of the most common responses to his name is "I never would've guessed your name was Jamaal".In a blog post he aired his thoughts on this，writing： "Really，are you frequently good at guessing people's names？" Another reaction to his name，he said，is '"you don't look like a Jamaal"，to which he asked in response， "And how exactly does one look like a name？"
     He wrote in the blog that some people，after meeting him，say "I thought you'd be…" and then pause with "a sudden realization they are on the verge of sounding racist"，before finding a word such as "tailed or "older" to end the sentence with.
     And his name once appeared to get him selected for a random security check on a trip to London in 2002，as the others picked out by officials were called Muhammad，Abdul and Tariq.He also explained that waitresses and waiters usually hand his credit card back to a black person at his table when he's dining out.
     His name，which means "beauty" in Arabic，landed him his teaching job in Iowa，though.Jamaal said，"The principal who had hired me admitted that I was lucky to have gotten the job.They had not been planning to take another student-teacher when my application showed up.But，as they scanned through it and saw a Jamaal who plays basketball and counts Muhammad Ali among his heroes，they thought they 'could use a little diversity，'" said Jamaal.
     Jamaal's dad was a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and he was just named after one of their players，Jamaal Wilkes.

• 3．"If you want to own a home，stop buying brunch，" they say.Meanwhile，under 30s are at risk of injury from the world's biggest eye roll （白眼）.
     But it is not tasty food like avocado，fast fashion or even travel abroad that's holding a generation back from achieving those traditional milestones - and we finally have some evidence to prove it.In fact，those aged 18 to 30 are more likely to be savers than any other age group，according to new research.Far from being wasteful，an overwhelming 84% of these young people are trying to save.
     The real problem lies in the fact that younger people tend to have higher expense when spending on essentials compared to our older counterparts （對(duì)應(yīng)的人）-and that house prices are at an all-time high.
     The research also finds that nearly half （47%）of 18 to 30-year-olds have "low financial resilience" - they have little capacity to pay bills in the event of a financial shock.
     Young people are significantly more likely to have fallen behind on domestic bills and credit card repayments in the past six months，at 31%，compared with 3% of those aged 51-plus，the research finds.
     "Despite the criticism that young people often face，regularly accused of spending too much money on coffees and food and not being financially prudent（精明的），our new research shows just how much young people are trying to look after their finances and save for the future - more so than any other age group，" said Ben Glover，the lead author of the research.
     "Amid a cost of living crisis，younger people still face the greatest battle with the highest spending on essentials，a lack of support and a system that doesn't work for them."
     Ben also says it's time for the Government，policymakers and financial institutions to urgently work together to help improve young people's financial well-being and prospects，especially after the pandemic.
     So there we are：nothing to do with avocado.
  
  （1）What can be one of the traditional milestones？

  
  A．Buying a house.
  B．Traveling abroad.
  C．Eating tasty food.
  D．Following the fashion.
  （2）What leads to young people's financial difficulty？

  
  A．Frequent financial crisis.
  B．Lack of the habit of saving.
  C．High spending on basic necessities.
  D．Limited ability to earn money.
  （3）Which best describes Ben Glover's feeling about young people？

  
  A．Proud.
  B．Critical.
  C．Expectant.
  D．Sympathetic.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Money Saved for a Better Life
  B．A Simple Truth About Young People
  C．New Opinions on Money Management
  D．Our Unrealistic Expectation of the Young

      Jules had just spent another six hours helping her grandmother picking peaches.After school summer holiday began，she was sent to this farmland at her grandma's house，picking and canning fruit for two weeks.She used to spend her holidays and have lots of fun here every year，enjoying horse-riding，looking at animals at daytime and appreciating fireflies （螢火蟲）at night.But since her grandpa died six years earlier，Jules hadn't visited the farm.
      Now Jules opened her phone again，praying for bars （手機(jī)信號(hào)），but there was nothing.She felt frustrated and bored.Looking out of the window，Jules saw nothing but the large farmland and the small forest between Grandma and her neighbor's farmland.She felt even more bored.
      The large corn field outside was rent by a fat and ugly-looking man now.After Grandpa died，Grandma just worked in her garden and mainly grew vegetables and fruits.When she needed other food，she just bought it in town twice a month.Jules had asked Grandma if she felt lonely here，the answer was NO. "I've got all I need right here.Your grandpa is still with me，in my heart，and this land is all I have ever known，" Grandma said.
      After Grandma went to bed at night，Jules decided to read her novel a bit before bed.Two pages into her reading，Jules heard something outside the window.Walking close to the window，Jules looked out and found a boy about her age standing down there in the moonlight.With a flashlight under his face，the boy was holding his finger over his lips.He motioned（示意）for Jules to come outside.She shook her head，feeling slightly nervous，but the boy just kept motioning.Then，Jules decided that anything would be more interesting than bed and she got out of the house quietly.
