When yu see smene absrbed in a highbrw(深奥的)nvel n the train r psing with a philsphical vlume n scial media, yu shuldn’t autmatically assume they are reading the bk.
It’s knwn as “perfrmative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyne t knw” they read, wrte Alaina Dempuls in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attentin span” t “pick up a physical bk”.
The phenmenn has its rts in 2021, when a bm in bk clubs led by celebrities alng with “BkTk”, the sectin f TikTk dedicated t prmting and discussing cmmercial fictin, turned favred bks int a trend-driven accessry(配饰), said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman.
BkTk is seen as perfrmative, with trendy bks ging viral nt because f the quality f the literature but because it suggests an increasingly fashinable, intellectual- lking style. And when reading becmes a cmpetitin, with cuntless users shwing ff abut having read mre than 35 bks in a single mnth, suppsedly, quality takes a backseat t demnstrating yurself t be an eager reader. And there’s a danger it culd lead t publishers fcusing their effrts n bks that are feed-friendly.
But the incnvenient truth is that the virality f literature has led t an uptick in bk sales. In 2023, 669 millin physical bks were sld, the highest verall level ever recrded, alng with a bst in visits t UK libraries.
One f life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling int a stry” and “tuning the wrld ut”, withut “wrrying abut what smene’s ging t think f yu”, said Dempuls. Enjy the stry. Many peple are still ding exactly that, s rather than “finger-wagging” abut perfrmative reading, next time yu see smene with a bk at a cffee shp r the park, just leave them alne, because “this is nt fr yu”, they’re simply “enjying the mment”.
8. Why d sme peple engage in perfrmative reading?
A. T ppularize bk clubs.B. T prmte reading habits.
C. T imprve their scial image.D. T stress the imprtance f literature.
9. What risk des turning bks int accessries create?
A. Online reading culd take ver.B. Physical bk sales will decline.
C. Bk clubs may becme exclusive.D. Meaningful cntent might get ignred.
10. What des the underlined wrd “uptick” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. drpB. increaseC. changeD. lss
11. Accrding t Dempuls, thse wh read in public shuld be ________.
A. urged t read privatelyB. guided t select better materials
C. discuraged frm psting nlineD. respected withut direct interventin
D
Years ag, a scientific jurnal was abut t publish ur team’s research paper and requested a beautiful image fr its cver.
After the first excitement came a dilemma. We were prud f ur research, but the images in ur article were black-and-white graphs(图表), intended t cmmunicate data accurately. We cnsidered enlarging ne f thse graphs fr the cver — maybe adding clrful lines? — and realized we’d never seen any jurnal cver s bring.
That’s when I thught f taking micrgraphs f ur micrbes(微生物). I spent tw days preparing and taking what I believed were amazing images. Hwever, my c-authrs hated them. They questined the micrbe’s appearance, and thught the pht made it lk dead. In the end, we tld the jurnal we had nthing.
Recently, I thught abut that lst cver pprtunity when learning abut Fenice Frankel, a research scientist, wh has made a name fr herself by helping scientists imprve their wrk with pictures that cmmunicate science. My teammates and I had argued ver the pht’s aesthetics (美学) withut ever stpping t ask what the pht was suppsed t cmmunicate. The pretty pictures I recmmended didn’t really cntribute t a reader’s understanding f ur research. “All these talented peple in their labs,” Frankel cnfirmed, “have n idea what they’re ding.”
Thankfully, scientists in and arund Frankel’s department knw her services well. Researchers send Frankel their figures, and she explains hw t imprve them. If a graph has t many clrs that take attentin away frm the imprtant part, fr example, make the less imprtant parts a lighter clr. If readers are suppsed t cmpare side-by-side graphs with similar axes(坐标轴), put bth sets f data n ne graph. “It’s nt abut pretty pictures,” she says. “It’s really abut cmmunicatin — that’s my whle thing.”
In Frankel’s dream wrld, every university wuld teach graphical cmmunicatin as part f regular training. After all, she says, many campuses have writing requirements fr scientists, “but n ne emphasizes visual understanding.”
She’s right. We’re ften asked t cmmunicate ur research visually, whether it’s in jurnal article figures, PwerPint presentatins, r pster sessins. Hwever, many scientists treat anything beynd wrds and numbers as an afterthught.
12. Hw did the team respnd t the jurnal’s request fr a cver image?
A. They refused immediately.B. They tried but gave up later.
C. They struggled and sught help.D. They hesitated t take n the task.
13. What did the authr realize abut his pictures after knwing Frankel?
A. They weren’t infrmative.B. They failed t shw researchers’ talent.
C. They were t artistic t be scientific.D. They culdn’t match the research theme.
14. What is the main fcus f Frankel’s wrk?
A. Meeting jurnal standards.B. Teaching hw graphs are designed.
C. Creating visually appealing graphs.D. Imprving hw data is shwn in pictures.
15. What might bth the authr and Frankel agree with?
A. Using visuals well is a must fr scientists.
B. Scientists explain their ideas prly in jurnals.
C. Cmmunicatin skills shuld be taught t scientists.
D. Scientists are mre serius abut numbers than wrds.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’d always been tld t take care f my lder brther, Brian, wh was brn weak and small. I’d ften tie his shes r prepare anther glass f water fr him. My mm saw my larger size and strng bdy as a sign that I was t be a kind f guardian angel (守护天使) fr Brian. Hwever, that was nt the case.
One day ur schl spnsred a pumpkin-carving cntest. First prize was $100, and I knew just hw I wuld spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying t wn. S I decided the first place bnus definitely had t land in my pcket.
When I had t carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked ut, it dawned n me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thught f Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man fr the jb. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked fr a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly ding the math in my head, I figured ut even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enugh cash fr the game. S I gave in t Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and nw we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in secnd. Unfrtunately, secnd prize was nly $50, and I needed every penny f that t buy the game. The day f the awards ceremny, the principal handed ver the mney t me because Brian was hme, sick with cld.
If he really wanted t win, he wuld have been here tday, I thught t myself, justifying stealing the cash frm under pr Brian’s runny nse. With hardly a thught, I ran t the stre and bught my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had wn, I denied, afraid t lk int his eyes.
The whle thing was never mentined again until the day when Brian was packing fr cllege. I played my usual rle in helping him pack when I came acrss an ld album filled with phts he had taken as the schl phtgrapher.
