My Life in the Bush of Ghosts—Amos Tutuola

Nigerians in Space—Deji Olukotun
Wale is a Nigerian lunar geologist. He is under the spell of a lifelong dream to traveling out to the moon when the mysterious Mr Bello offers him the chance to man a Nigerian spaceexploration mission. But like most dreams, what starts out as the magical fulfillment of desire quickly slips into the kingdom of nightmare(噩梦). In novels like this, travelling through space easily becomes a journey into the self.

Ama Ata Aidoo's novel is a tourist adventure set in Germany and London. It charts the journey of Sissie, a bright and selfassured African student who wins a European travel scholarship.

本文主要介绍了World Read Aloud Day。
1．was started 考查动词的时态和语态。World Read Aloud Day在2010年由LitWorld.org发起。根据语境可知，此处需要用start的被动形式，又因时间状语是“in 2010”，故用一般过去时。
2．The/Its 考查形容词性物主代词或冠词。它的目的是鼓励全世界不能阅读的人享受一本书带来的好处。
3．to celebrate 考查动词不定式。ask sb.to do sth.“要求某人做某事”。网站要求每个人通过拿本书、找到一位听众、大声阅读的方式来庆祝这个节日。
4．belongs 考查主谓一致。这正是采取行动向世界表明阅读和写作的权利属于所有的人。根据句子成分可知，从句的主语为the right，故填belongs。
5．the 考查冠词。the number of...是固定搭配，表示 “……的数量”。
6．absolutely 考查词性转换。帮助那些不能阅读的人是完全有必要的。修饰形容词necessary，应用所给词的副词形式。
7．whoever 考查宾语从句。是开始为任何可能喜欢的人大声朗读的时候了。whoever引导宾语从句且在从句中作主语。
8．to 考查介词。当他们与你分享时，你要耐心地倾听某个人的故事。listen to 是固定搭配。
9．and 考查连词。根据语境和句子成分可知，前后表示并列关系。
