AIf you’re on the hunt for something new and interesting to read, you have plenty of places to go. This week, we’re looking at four of the best book recommendation sites, services, or groups, based on your nominations(提名).GoodReadsGoodReads is more than just a book recommendation site, although it excels at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy. You can build a virtual “shelf” of books you own or have already read, share your progress with the books you’re currently reading, rate the books you’ve read, leave reviews, and connect with other readers.BookBubWhile BookBub isn’t strictly a book recommendation service, it does bring you super-low-cost books based on your interests every day. The service is free, and when you sign up, you tell BookBub what kinds of books you like to read. From there, you’ll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day. When we say “deal,” we mean it—many of BookBub’s titles are free entirely, $0.99, or just a couple of bucks.LibraryThingLibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great user-powered book ratings, review, and recommendation site. The service calls itself the world’s largest book club, and that’s a lot like the overall feel. Once you sign up, you’ll be encouraged to start adding books you’ve read and leave reviews for them. Behind its book ratings and reviews though, LibraryThing is a powerful tool to catalog and organize your entire book collection.OlmentaIf you’re not interested in registering for accounts, adding your own books, or any of that hassle(麻烦), Olmenta can suggest some solid titles to you based on general popularity and the citation of the people behind the site. It’s a simple list of book covers that the service thinks you should read, and a few genres you can click on if you’re looking for something specific, like business, fiction, children’s, theatre, poetry, or nonfiction, among others.21. Which of the following two book recommendation sites ask you to rate and leave reviews?A. Goodreads and BookBubB. BookBub and LibraryThingC. LibraryThing and OlmentaD. Goodreads and LibraryThing22. Which book recommendation site can help you get super-low-cost books?A. GoodReadsB. BookBubC. LibraryThingD. Olmenta23. If you turn to Olmenta, you __________________.A. need to pay moreB. need to add your own bookC. don’t need to sign upD. don’t need to look for something specificBStudents should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teacher’s job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher’s effectiveness. There is a huge difference between “How do I figure out if this student understands” and “How do I make this student prove to me he gets it.” The first is a valuable approach; thesecond is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody’s time.And there’s the problem. If we start with the assumption (假定) that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say “Students should be able to show what they know.” But I think it’s far more useful to say, "Teachers should be able to discover what students know."24. What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?A. Very dangerous.B. V ery annoying.C. Very difficult.D. Very frequent.25. According to the third paragraph, a teacher should have the ability to .A. discover whether his students knowB. avoid wasting the precious time in classC. apply various approaches while teachingD. give students the chance to prove themselves26. What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students’ learning?A. They should be limited in number.B. They are a huge burden on teachers.C. They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D. They slide away from their original purpose.27. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students should be able to show what they know.B. There are many ways to find proof of student learning.C. Teachers should be able to discover what students know.D. There should be better understanding between teachers and students.CScientists are preparing to launch the world's first machine to clean up the planet's largest mass of ocean plastic.The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half of the detritus in the patch –about 40,000metric tons – within five years. In the past few weeks they have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea and form the skeleton of the machine, creating the largest floating barrier ever made。
