24、Name: Stella by Starlight

Type: Historical novel

Number of pages: 352 pages

What’s the basic storyline?

Stella and her family were living peacefully in a small North Carolina town in 1932 until Stella and her brother saw, in the darkness of the night, a burning cross, the symbol of the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan is a secret organization in the United States. It is made up of white people who don’t like people of other races (种族) and do harm to them. Things really started to turn bad when a neighbor’s house was burned down. In her small town, Stella didn’t know whom to trust. Could Stella find the courage to stand up for what’s right?

Are the characters believable?

Some parts of the characters are not believable. The characters, for example, are either all good or all bad. I prefer characters that are more different and conflicted (矛盾的). The plot, however, is so attractive that I don’t mind. And I always read it for a long time without having a rest. Overall, the writer wisely tells the story through the characters’ points of view.

Facts you don’t know about animals

People have already known a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.

Cows

Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (焦虑的) when they are separated (分开). Sometimes they even a【1】 humans when they are too nervous and angry. However, scientists also found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows in the herd (兽群). When a cow is with its friend, its heart rate is reduced compared with when it is a【2】 or with a cow from another herd. 

Penguins

During breeding (繁殖) season, a male penguin will offer a pebble (卵石) to a female penguin as a g【3】. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her husband may c【4】 it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests.

Crocodiles

When crocodiles eat something, they always swallow (吞) their prey. They don’t chew it like other animals. To help with digestion (消化), they swallow stones which grind up the food in their stomachs. But these stones can h【5】 be defecated (排泄掉), so they may stay in their stomachs all their lives.

Elephants

Elephants use plants to get rid of p【6】 or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Kenya who kept eating a kind of plant for a few days, while this kind of plant was not part of her regular d【7】. Four days later, she could give birth to a baby elephant quietly. The same plant was used by the local women to help with labor (分娩).

Do you find these facts amazing? Maybe you can introduce some of them to your friends and see how surprised they are when they know the facts!

29、   Christopher Wilson, a Texas-based DJ and producer, is better known by his stage name, Riot Ten. But what’s unbelievable about him and his family s journey is that he has never let negative situations shake or shape his direction.

From a young age, Wilson knew he wanted to go for ________. When dropping out at seventeen and having little family support, he still started his career as an uphill battle.

“Thinking positive, thinking big is huge for success,” he said, “I’ve always imagined myself rich, successful and at the top of everything I did. I really believe in positivity... That positive energy shows itself in work and opportunities.”

Wilson took this energy and ran with it, slowly building a career and name for himself in the music industry, despite criticism from others, financial (money) challenges and the difficulty of ________ both his duties as a father, and his great love for making music.

With the birth of Wilson’s second child. Kai, however, both his positive attitude and career were ________ dramatically.

On September 3, 2017, Kai was born — weighing less than two pounds and with a large welt on the side of his head. Kai was said to have less than a 50% chance of living, and if he did live, there was a 50% chance he’d have cerebral palsy (脑性瘫痪). For Wilson, this was terrifying—the unknown, the fear of ________ his child. He also felt the powerlessness in watching Kai struggle to ________ on his own. Wilson was then told Kai was missing a part of his brain, something that would affect all motor skills.

He had no ________; he just had to wait. But even in the moments of fear, of helplessness, of pain, Wilson kept positive. He kept creating, kept believing and kept moving forward.

In the course of a few months, he had answers. Kai didn’t have cerebral palsy, and he would survive. After one month of a breathing tube, Kai was able to breathe on his own, and even began to show ________ baby behavior.

“I’ve always thought everything happens for a reason,” Wilson says, “Kai probably shouldn’t be alive, and he somehow made it. And everything we expected to happen—his coming out ________, not having cerebral palsy, being able to breathe on his own—it all worked out. There’s a plan for everything.”

It’s this attitude that has ________ Riot Ten to success. He released his second EP (唱片), “Hype or Die: The Dead EP” on February16, 2017, and his song, “Rail Breaker” has hit No.1 on all dubstep charts.

No matter what life throws at us, Wilson has continued to stay positive and share his passion for music with the world.
