Growing up in Tanzania, Abdulrazak Gurnah never thought of the possibility that he might one day be a
writer. “I never thought about that,” he said in an interview. “It wasn’t something you could say as you were
growing up, ‘I want to be a writer.’ “He thought he would become “something useful, like an engineer.”
Then, in 1964, something terrible forced Gurnah, at age 18, to run away to England. But the new life was not
as good as he thought. Unhappy, poor, homesick, he began to write down things about home in his diary, and then
longer writings, then stories about other people. Those small thoughts, the habit of writing to understand and
record his own loneliness, finally became his first novel, then nine more — works that describe the pain of
colonialism （殖民） and war. “The key thing that helps the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of
losing your place in the world, “he said.
On October 7, 2021, Gurnah was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, widely seen as the most famous
literary award in the world. His works talked about refugees（难民） and their living conditions. These books
help us learn more about differences in culture and countries.
Gurnah, now 72, is the first black writer to receive the prize since Toni Morrison in 1993, and some people
saw. his selection（当选） as a good thing after years of European and American Nobel winners. He is the first
African to win the award in more than ten years.
1. How many Gurnah’s works are mentioned in the article?
A. Nine. B. Ten. C. Eighteen. D. Seventy-two.
2. What plays the most important role in Gurnah’s writing experience?A. His early thought of being an engineer. B. His unhappy life experiences in England.
C. His habit of writing and recording stories. D. His feeling of losing his place in the world.
3. What can we know about Gurnah’s works?
A. They talk about his career. B. They record the Nobel winners.
C. They show cultural differences. D. They introduce different awards.

No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy. But does a messy desktop actually mean that? Not all
disorders (无序) mean you mess everything up. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal attraction came from his
messy desktop.
People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable.
Some believe it helps them focus more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like
some novelists can write patiently in a noisy café. Others may be the people who want to do things perfectly. For
those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% done. So they usually put away the less important
things and do the most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains on the desktop.
Many people are described as untidy, careless and slow because of messy tabletops. However,when we see
the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg- pioneers of their times ——things might change.
Clearly, the world welcomes uniformity(- X ) and order, it also never refuses regular (有规律的) disorder, which
seems like a mess but goes in an organized (有条理的) way.
Research shows that people working with a messy desktop are probably more creative and like to take risks.
But people with a tidy one often follow the rules and may not like to try new things. For example, in an
experiment (实验) done by Kathleen Vohs. People in the messy group came up with more interesting and creative
ideas about the new uses of ping-pong balls than the organized one. Vohs says, Messy environments seem to
inspire people to think up fresh ideas.'
But a messy desk might not be the best choice all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be
a good choice; but when you want to do a task quickly and successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and
tidy.
No matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it!
1. Some people prefer a messy desk because ________.
A. it makes them uncomfortable
B. they can focus on tasks easily
C. they are lazy and untidy
2. What does the underlined phrase “strive for” mean in Chinese?
A. 对……感兴趣 B. 将……分开 C. 为……努力3. What can you learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Disorder is never welcomed in this world.
B. People may be successful although they have messy tabletops.
C. People can finish the tasks perfectly as long as they keep their desks clean.
4. The experiment done by Kathleen Vohs shows that ________.
A. people working a messy desktop think up fresh ideas more often
B. people working with a tidy desktop always try new things
C. a messy desktop has a bad influence on people's minds
5. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Messy Desk: Do People Need to Change It?
B. Messy Desk: Does It Make People Comfortable?
C. Messy Desk: Do People Find Excuses for It?

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Since the age of 5,Laura Lee has had a strange habit—she collects cardboard toilet-paper rolls（厕所卷纸
筒）. She didn’t know this habit would one day become a recycling movement.
In 2018,Lee set up a goal to collect 1,000 kilograms of these rolls. She was then a 16-year-old student at
Nanyang Girls’ High School in Singapore. As of February 2021,she collected 860 kg. She received an Ecofriend
Award from the Singapore government.
Why did she choose toilet rolls?“They are convenient to collect and also one of the purest forms of waste to
recycle because they are made of only one material,” Lee told Singapore Today. “It’s more difficult to recycle
pens because they are made up of too many different materials like rubber casings（橡胶外壳）,metals and
plastics,which require more resources to separate（分离）.”
Lee went into a partnership with the waste management firm Veolia. The firm gave her money for every
kilogram of toilet rolls.
She organized “toilet roll challenges” within her school and worked with cleaners to collect used toilet rolls.
She gave speeches about what she was doing at local schools. She also raises awareness（意识）about different
social groups through her Instagram Live series,“On A Roll”.
One big challenge Lee faces is others doubting her because of her young age.“I always have toy use my
actions to prove that I’m passionate（有热情的）and know about this,” she said. She will donate the money
collected to a social cause focused on community health.
1. When did Laura Lee set the goal to collect lots of toilet rolls?
______________________________________________________________________________
2. According to Laura Lee,which is easier to recycle,toilet rolls or pens?
