Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
The winner in Culture critics’ survey is Junot Diaz’s first novel, about a bookworm called Oscar, who dreams of finding love. It also was named as the number-one book by the most critics. “It is a big deal for me to fall in love with a book whose topic is science fiction, fantasy and imagination, ”says Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune’s literary editor.
Edward P. Jones, The Known World
Set in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend--born a slave, now a slave-owner—The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks about the future of his 50-acre Virginia plantation and the slaves he treats the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall
Mantel’s boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC miniseries(短剧). Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times book editor writes, “I have never felt so completely buried into a character’s mind, not to mention a long ago and far-away place. ”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
Rev John Ames, a small town minister, describes his life and anti-slavery tradition to his young son in beautiful language in this first part of Robinson’s trilogy (along with Home and Lila). “I can’t think of a living novelist who writes more seriously and profoundly about religious faith, which has become an almost forbidden topic in modern literature, ”writes Dawn Raffel, who ranked Gilead first on her list. Critic Karen R. Long says, “This multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (超越), and makes a case for spiritual life in the 21st century— its own kind of miracle. Gilead will be read in 100 years. ”

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is one of the most original and influential figures in the history of photography. His photographs helped establish photojournalism as an art form.
Henri’s family was wealthy—his father made a fortune as a textile manufacturer—but Henri later joked that due to his parents’ economical ways, it often seemed as though his family was poor.
Educated in Paris, Henri developed an early love for literature and arts. As a teenager, Henri was against his parents’ formal ways of education. In his early adulthood, he fell in love with several appetites, but it was art that remained at the center of his life.
Henri traveled to Africa in 1931 to hunt antelope and boar. And Africa fueled another interest in him: photography. He then wandered around the world with his camera, using a handheld camera to catch images from fleeting moments of everyday life.
Not long after World War Ⅱ, Henri traveled east, spending considerable time in India, where he met and photographed Gandhi shortly before he was killed in 1948. Henri’s work to document Gandhi’s death and its immediate effect on the country became one of Life Magazine’s most prized photo essays.
Henri’s approach to photography remained much the same throughout his life. He made clear his dislike of images that had been improved by artificial light, darkroom effects, and even cutting. The naturalist in Henri believed that all editing should be done when the photo is taken. In 1952, his first book, The Decisive Moment, a rich collection of his work spanning two decades, was published. “There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment, ”he said.
In 1968, he began to turn away from photography and returned to his passion for drawing and painting.
4. Which of the following is true about Henri’s photography career?
A. He developed a passion for photography when traveling to Africa.
B. He quit photography on publishing The Decisive Moment.
C. He documented Gandhi’s everyday life.
D. He devoted all his life to photography.
5. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “economical” in Paragraph 2?
A. Costly. B. Generous.
C. Financial. D. Saving.
6. What is special about Henri’s approach to photography?
A. He only shot photos at decisive moments.
B. He preferred to edit his images in his darkroom.
C. His most photos described things in their natural ways.
D. He tried different ways and settled on being a naturalist.
