Every year, the Young Adult Library Services Association chooses the best fictions for young adults. Recently, it listed this year's popular books for young adults. Let's look at three of them.

The Downstairs Girl

Seventeen-year-old Jo Kuan leads a double life. By day, she works as a maid for one of the wealthiest men in Atlanta, a city in the US state of Georgia. By night, she writes as ”Dear Miss Sweetie”，  a newspaper advice columnist. She addresses ideas about race and gender, and as her column grows more popular, so too does the anger of her critics.

The Bone Houses

This fascinating, historical horror novel by Emily Lloyd-Jones will "dig its way into the heart”, according to a review on Booklist. Seventeen-year-old Ryn only cares about two things： her family and their graveyard （墓地）,both of which are in a very bad situation. After the death of her parents, Ryn and her siblings （兄弟姐妹）work as gravediggers in the village of Colbren—where the dead don't always stay dead. The rising dead are known as " bone houses”， but no one knows how to stop them and the curse that causes them to rise. When Ellis, a mysterious mapmaker, arrives in Colbren, he and Ryn go on a journey to not only face the curse but themselves as well.

The In finite Noise

However, once Caleb starts experiencing wild mood swings, his life becomes much stranger. Caleb finds out he is an “Atypical"， a person with enhanced abilities.

Although we spend one-third of our lives in bed, we hardly ever think about beds. While we may consider them little more than a mattress （床垫），pillow and blanket, they in fact have a fascinating history.

The first beds were hollows （坑洼）dug in cave floors by our African ancestors around 77,000 years ago. The basic idea of the bed and its structure have remained the same for thousands of years. Malta and Egypt were using raised frames with mattresses 5,000 years ago, according to Brian Fagan, the author of What We did in Bed. Early Egyptian beds consisted of wooden frames with legs and a leather sleeping platform. The mattress was little more than a sack （袋子）with grass, straw and hay in it. In Mongolia and China, heated stone platforms called kang were used in inns as early as 5000 BC.

The basic idea of who slept in the bed, however, has changed a lot through the years. Many family members or friends sleeping together in a single bed used to be completely normal for much of human history. Travelers would not expect privacy at inns； In fact, they had to share a bed with complete strangers. The greatest example of this was the Great Bed of Ware, a huge bed built in 1590 for an English inn. “A total of 52 people—are said to have spent a night in the Great Bed in 1689，" according to Fagan.

Throughout the 19th century, beds gradually became a private space. Rapid urbanization during the Industrial Revolution sped up this process as compact row houses were built with small rooms, each for a different purpose, including sleeping. So the next time you head to bed, be thankful you have your own.

24. What do we know about the ancient beds?

A. The history of beds went through a long and difficult process.

B. In Africa, the basic idea of beds' structure has changed a lot.

C. Our ancestors were imaginative and creative in designing beds.

D. The ancestors in different countries were satisfied with their beds.

25. Why did travelers share a bed with complete strangers at inns in the past?

A. There was a single bed in one room.

B. They liked spying on others' lives.

C. It was convenient to look after each other.

D. It was a good way to make new friends.

26. What promotes beds to be a private space?

A. Human civilization. B. Rapid urbanization.

C. Social interaction. D. Room function.

27. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A. A fiction novel. B. A tourist guidebook.

C. A science report. D. A culture magazine.

A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get to his new job. The story begins with Walter Carr's car breaking down the night before starting a new job at Bellhops, a furniture moving company.

Carr was unable to find a ride. So, he figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the job in Pelham-32 kilometers away. He left at midnight so that he could make it the customer's house by 8 ：00 am the next morning.

Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4 ：00 am. So, they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8 ：00 am.

Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast of the U. S. in 2005.

During this year's Spring Festival, Ma Rui made a meme（表情包）by collaging（拼贴）her portrait and images of firecrackers and golden coins. Ma sent it to relatives and friends on social media as her new year's greeting.

“Traditional text greetings are tedious. A meme sticker of myself is more creative and personal,“ said Ma, a 38-year-old woman working in Yinchuan. As a regular meme maker, Ma also made her cat and dog the main characters of her creations. With her ever-increasing meme collection, she can deal with most online communications by sending memes without sending a text message.

On China's most popular social networking apps WeChat and QQ, many users have developed the habit of collecting memes in their accounts, including those featuring celebrities, animals, and cartoon characters. Ma has been using emojis and memes on WeChat for about 10 years, but they were limited in the past.

In recent years, meme-making has become a new trend, with the emergence of more designers and apps for making memes. With free apps, people can create their own memes and share them online. As an industry, meme-making can also bring decent incomes for meme designers, injecting vitality into related products and industries. "A good meme can accurately express what one means and reduce misunderstanding and embarrassment. This is why people need it," said Luo Yalong, a 30-year-old meme designer.

Luo created a cartoon character named "Little Chubby Inu. " With this image, he designed nearly one thousand memes with different expressions, which have been used billions of times on WeChat since it was first introduced in 2017.

The image of Little Chubby Inu has also been printed on T-Shirts, mugs, and cosmetics and packages of popular drink brands. This year, Luo opened an online store for Little Chubby Inu-themed products.

By drawing inspiration from popular websites young people like to visit, Luo has become a prolific meme-maker, creating a new series of memes every two or three months. “Attractive memes are emerging every day, while users, tastes are ever-changing. For us designers, it causes great pressure but also presents immense opportunities," Luo said.

32. What does the underlined word “tedious“ in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Narrow. B. Dull. C. Ancient. D. Common.

33. Why do more and more people like to make memes?

①To make us laugh happily.

②To help us make good profit.

③To show designers' character.

④To help us communicate better.

A,①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④

34. What does Luo's words in the last paragraph suggest?

A. Designers should cater for users' appetite.

B. Memes cause great pressure to designers.

C. New interesting memes are arising everyday.

Nowadays, it sounds difficult to stick to a vegan diet, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. 36   According to Huffpost, more than 3 million people in the United States are vegans. In the UK, about 542,000 people have chosen veganism over the past decade.
