A Guide to New York City's Best Bookstores

In the hot and crowded summer city, there's nothing better than finding a cool and quiet bookstore to get lost in. Undoubtedly, a great bookstore can provide both relaxation and inspiration. Here are the must-visit bookstores in New York City:

Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. "It's life-changing but it's not life-ending," he says. Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.

After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo（纹身）artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh, until they saw the final result. "The mood changed," Catalano recalled from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio." Everything turned from funny to wow."

When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的)tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they sax online, Using flesh-toned（肉色的）inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.

Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.

"Plastic surgery gave me no hope," she says. "So I looked for other options." She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence. "You don't understand until you've been through it," Pollan says. "It made me have a different look on life."

Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos, Financially, it doesn't make sense," Catalano says. "But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I am 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing."

24. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?

A. Indifferent.    B. Ridiculous.  C. Confident.   D. Surprised.

25. What did Catalane do to help Leslie Pollan?

A. He drew an artistic puppy.        B. He inked scars on her face.

C. He created a lip tattoo.          D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.

26. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.         B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.

C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.    D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.

27. What could be the best title for the text?

A. A Life-changing Event   B. Miracle Tattoos   C. An Amazing Artist      D. A Promising Business

C

VR and the Olympics: changing what viewers can experience?

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was full of breakthroughs. It is the biggest Olympics' news and media coverage so far. 36 

Though VR headsets have been widely accepted across industries such as gaming and tourism, their uses haven't fully been explored. 37   That's why we are here to clarify VR's effects on the Olympics.

         38  

Due to the pandemic situation, the events this year weren't open to the public, which means getting close to the action was going to require some technological intervention.

By live-casting sport games in 360 VR video, viewers can experience never-before-seen immersiveness, and truly feel like they're in the field with their favorite athletes! So, it makes sense that the Olympics turned to VR to give viewers a close view of all the events.

         Overcome practical difficulties

Both the Winter Olympics and its Paralympics equivalent were held in Beijing this year, which aren't easy to reach for most of us in the West. Thus, the application of VR technology helps relay the Olympics despite geographical distance.

And when it comes to the Winter Olympics, there is a lot not so enjoyable. There is no amount of gloves and layers that will put off the cold long enough for you to enjoy the skiing.39   

But with a VR headset, you can see all the action just from the comfort of your home, saving yourself the realistic troubles.

         Watch whenever you want

The VR experience offered far more than just a comfortable place to watch. 40    In other words, it means you can watch your favourite moments over and over again. There is also footage（镜头）of the opening and closing ceremony available, so that you can appreciate another aspect of the successful Olympics.

A. Pay an on-site visit

B. Have an up-close look

C. There was live and on demand coverage available.

D. However, virtual reality is very important in our lives.

E. Unfortunately, this was also the case for the Olympics.

F. It is also where virtual reality really enters the golden period.

G. There is also a lot of standing around and waiting for an event.

How To Protect Our Eyes

Dear fellow students,

77.第二节读后续写（满分20分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not satisfied with life, I was upset. At this time, a young boy approached me. He stood right before me with this head tilting （倾斜）down, saying with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower with its petals （花瓣）all worn. What a pitiful sight it was! That's because there was not enough rain or light. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I forced a small smile and then turned away. But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with certainty. He said, " It surely smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it and it's for you."

The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower and replied, "Just what I need." But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in midair without reason. It was then that I noticed for the first time the boy was blind.

I heard my voice shake and my eyes were full of tears as I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then walked off to play, unaware of the effect he had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman) beneath an old willow tree. Meanwhile, I felt confused about the reason why he tried to make me happy by showing me the flower? Perhaps from his heart, he enjoyed the world with true sight.

注意：

1．续写词数应为 150左右;

2．请按如下格式作答。

Para. 1 Through the kindness of the blind child, I learned something new.

Para.2 Then I stood up and walked to the boy.
