Celeste Ng， a new writer， has gained recognition for her first novel，
Everything I Never Told You.
Nag’s parents came from Hong Kong， China in the 1960s. Ng was born
in America and grew up in Pittsburgh， Pennsylvania， and Shaker
Heights， Ohio， in a family of scientists. Celeste went to Harvard
University and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan， where she
won the Hopwood Award.
Although her novel is not about race， the characters are Asian. The
main character is Lydia， a teenage girl， who is the favorite of three
children born to a white mother and a Chinese-American father. The story is
about Lydia’s disappearance， and the emotions the family goes through as
the mystery unfolds. The whole family deals with sorrow， regret， and
exposed （暴露的） secrets as they search for their lost daughter.
Though the characters in this story are Asian， Ng says she didn’t really
want to include Asian characters. She was afraid people would think the story
was about real people in her life. Because she grew up in America and
doesn’t speak Chinese， she was actually surprised that she included Asian
characters in the book.
The book has taken off， especially on Amazon， where it won the
Editors Pick for No. 1 Best Book of the Year in 2014. Ng is still getting used
to the attention， saying she is still amazed when people tell her they have
read her book. With so many readers， it’s safe to say this is a book you
should read. But if you’re looking for a simple mystery， this book might notbe for you. Most readers warn that you should not read this book unless
you’re prepared to cry.

Have you come across much western children’s literature？
Most English-speaking children grow up with the same delightful set of
fictional characters. The Winnie the Pooh stories involve a strange selections
of animals such as a kangaroo， a pig， a donkey， a tiger， an owl and a
bear， who live together in a wood， leading fairy ordinary lives. Far more
exciting and dangerous events take place in The Wind in the Willows， the
story of the foolish Mr. Toad and all his adventures.
Talking animals is also the main characters in The Jungle Book and the
Just So Stories. In the latter we find lots of imaginative explanations as to
why the world is like what it is.
Far more laughter comes from Roald Dais Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory. While Wonk is the perfect adult in the eyes of children with all his
clever ideas and endless supply of sweets. Also much loved is Bilbo
Baggins， the funny little hobbit （霍比特人）， who ends up having
adventures with wolves and dragons. Of course， the stories go on in themuch more serious The Lord of the Rings， better read a few years later. A
new star in the world of magic and children’s fiction is Harry Potter， the
schoolboy who learns spells （魔法） rather than math’s. Adventure books
remain popular， too. Although well over a century old now， Treasure
Island is still an enthralling story with young Jim Hawkins dealing with secret
maps and pirates （海盜）. Such books make childhood a time of wonder
and imagination.

As more Americans live alone， unconditional affection is in demand.
More than a third of homes have at least one dog， according to the
American Veterinary Medical Association.
But the popularity of four-legged friends has an unpleasant cost： Dogs
squeeze out more than twice the waste of the average person. Around 60%
of the stuff gets collected and trucked to landfills， where it releases
methane， a greenhouse gas. The rest delivers surprises to passersby and
can pollute waterways.The problem is particularly bad in cities， where green spaces are few
and lonely souls seeking puppy love plentiful. There are over 600，000 dogs
in New York—one for every 14 people—generating over 100，000 tons of
turd （糞便） a year.
This is a missed opportunity， says Ron Gonen， the city’s former
recycling tsar （掌权者）. Now in the private sector， he is trying to launch
“Sparky Power”， a program to transform dog waste into clean energy in the
city’s dog parks.
The idea is to fit parks with small anaerobic digesters （厌氧分解池）.
Dog owners would place their dogs turd into the machine， which then turns
turd into gas for powering lamps and other park equipment. A year-long pilot
would introduce digesters in three parks at a cost of around $100，000，
000. The parks department is thinking about the proposal.
Similar projects in other cities have proved short-lived. An underground
Energy Transformation Using Reactive Digestion （E-TURD） device
created by Arizona State University students for a dog park in Gilbert，
Arizona， in 2012 finally failed.
“It’s great to turn it into a biofuel， but first you have to pick it up，”
says Tom Boyd， an entrepreneur in Tennessee. His company， Poo
Prints， shames the owners of dogs who fail to clean up their messes by
testing DNA in uncollected turd.
12. What does the underlined part “The problem” in Paragraph 3 refer
to？
A. Lots of people feel lonely.
B. Pet dogs produce a lot of waste.
C. There are very limited green spaces.
D. The greenhouse effect is getting serious.
13. What can we learn about the program “Sparky Power”？
A. It is about recycling household waste.
B. It is operated by the local government.
C. It aims to produce power from dog waste.
D. It aims to clean parks with renewable energy.
14. So far the program “Sparky Power” ___ .
A. has just started
B. has ended in failure
C. is a great successD. is still under consideration
15. What is the purpose of the company Poo Prints？
A. To make good use of dog waste.
B. To help people look for their dogs.
C. To reduce the number of pet dogs.
D. To push people to pick up their dogs waste.
