Dip In The Pool is one of articles written by Roald Dahl. "Dip in the Pool" is originally published in the 19 January 1952 edition of The New Yorker. It later appeared in the collection Someone Like You.

The main character of the short story is Mr Botibol. Other characters such as the purser and the elderly woman appear briefly. The setting of the story is on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean in January. The events take place during a couple of days. The story is the narrative follows a chronological structure. The story is told from the point of view of a third-person narrator.

Actually Dip In The Pool, which is a bitter little comedy. In my viewpoint, Botibol seems far more sympathetic than most of Dahl’s flawed characters. This might be due to values dissonance. It makes the character seem somewhat pathetic, as do his attempts to gain face. He spends money he doesn’t have buying drinks for passengers who can afford them, he takes medication for sea sickness while pretending to be an experienced traveler.

If give the story a rating, i may give A. From the short story that as readers I can learn that although we have the heart of gambler, do I have enough ability to bet.

A Brief Review of ‘Dip in the Pool’ by Roald Dahl

Rating: 7/10

This short story by the British writer Roald Dahl is originally from the book Someone Like You, which was published in 1953. The story revolves around a man bidding on a cruise ship, in hopes of winning a large deal of money to impress his wife. Mr Botibol is the protagonist in the story, he was very confident about how far the ship is going to travel at first, but later on, as the weather became good again, Mr Botibol thought he was sure to lose the bet unless he slows down the ship by jumping into the ocean, and in order to make sure someone sees him calling for help, he talked to an old lady in advance.

I think the story has a very good psychological description of the characters, especially how the protagonist was nervous but excited during the auction, and how he felt terrified after realizing he was going to lose the bet and was thinking about all the consequences that may come after. The twist in the plot was reasonable but unexpected, along with the dark humor to it just like the author’s other stories for adults, makes it a story worthy of reading. I would recommend it, but I think stories like The Land Lady and Lamb to the Slaughter also by Roald Dahl are better compared to this one.

Book review by J

The landlady is a short story by Roald Dahl, which was collected in The Collected Short Stories of Roald Dahl and released in 1991. The short story describes Billy Weaver, a young man who travels to Bath in search of work, and finds something odd about the hotel and the landlady.

One of the main themes of the book is deception. The cosy atmosphere of this hotel, as well as the low charge for the high-quality service provided by the landlady, let bill put down his guard. The preconceived impression made Bill overlook some details, such as the words like black eyes, the

reality foreshadowed by these overlooked details is hidden beneath the surface, leaving the reader with some speculation about the end of Bill's death.

The characteristics of Bill and the landlady are distinctive. Bill is a dynamic and naive student, however, the landlady is good at disguise, apparently kind but actually she is cruel and insane. The plots keep twisting and readers learn more about the landlady’s secrets.

Overall, I think the short story, The Landlady, could get 8 out of 10 as the storyline is very exciting and it is full of reversals. Also, after reading The Landlady, if you find you are interested in this kind of story, The Lamb to the Slaughter is a good choice. Hope you enjoy your reading time.

4 stars. “The hitchhiker” was first published in Roald Dahl’s world-famous book, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar & Six more in 1977. The short story narrates a young writer heads to London in his brand new car and picks up a hitchhiker on his way. He encourages the protagonist to accelerate the car but they are caught by the cop, unfortunately. As a finger-smith, the hitchhiker steals the book so there is no evidence of the speeding.

Generally speaking, the story inherits Dahl’s traditional writing style. The author creates vibrant characters through his linguistic acrobatics like simile and metaphor. For example, he describes the hitchhiker with an unpleasant appearance by offering readers an animal image of him like “snorted” and “ratty”. He also highlights the theme--kindness versus punishment--to discuss justice and crime based on the plot. Just like his other similar works such as Dip in the pool, Roald Dahl combines realistic issues in his world of literature.

Overall, I recommend all fans of the short stories to take a glance at “The hitchhiker”. I can tell that this story is definitely one to read!

Review of Landlady

Reviewed by Sophia.X  from G11 2022.4.27  5 stars(out of 5 stars)

"The Landlady," by Roald Dahl, tells a darksome story of a of 17-year-old boy and his first and also last stay in a bed and breakfast. At the start of the story, we meet 17-year-old Billy Weaver, who has travelled alone from London to Bath on the afternoon train. When he arrived in Bath, it was cold and late. The author goes on to tell us how young Billy was and that he had never been to Bath before. It's a horror story that builds tension, leading to a shocking conclusion. It's about 3,500 words long and was first published in The New Yorker magazine and in roald Dahl's collection of short stories, ‘Kiss, Kiss’, published in the early 1960s. This is the best of his many memorable short stories i would say!

The landlady here demonstrates a sinister characteristics whereas Billy is saturated with youthful innocence, recognizing things at face value. He did not delve into whether they had achieved much. The landlady seemed like a very positive and safe person by her passionate and considerate behaviors.

This story shows the theme of the disparity between appearance and reality and enlightens us should be more careful about others’ ‘kindness’ and master the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. I can feel that Roald Dahl would like to develop the theme that dangers lurk in ordinary places and potential risks are hidden and suddenly erupted .

There is a great point of this story, it was written in such a way that you quickly understand that the lady has done something to her former lodgers. We just don't know what exactly it is, and that is what makes the story fantastic! Dahl creates this sense of unease that is palpable. As a reader who really enjoy the details of story, i can always feel the strong queer feeling when the plot is going on. I couldn’t put this story down even late at night!

I would rather recommend both adults and children to read this story! It is so instructive for both youngsters and adults to build up more cautious and calm minds. The plot is simple and we don’t need to make many efforts on understanding the main points of the story. Overall, i really appreciate this story and hope you will enjoy as well!

After reading this article I kept thinking, who is that narrator in the article? Could it be Roald Dahl himself? The strength of this story is that the plot stumbles throughout and takes a unique look at a situation that is rarely seen in life. The hitchhiker is actually a somewhat dangerous character. The novel combines punishment with crime and has some violence to keep the reader on their toes throughout the read. Unfolding from the narrator's point of view also brings the entire story development closer to the reader. I would recommend him to teenagers who are thinking deeply about the whole, as there are parts of the story that can be studied in depth behind the scenes. For example: what kind of person is this pickpocket? What is the mindset of the narrator driving the car when he is with the pickpocket? I think these are all things that could be explored on an ongoing basis.

The Hitchhiker By Roald Dahl: an absurd and realistic world

# data[].attributes.body
The Hitchhiker was published by Kiss, Kiss in 1960. In this story, the narrator picked up a hitchhiker on his way. The passenger didn’t want to tell his job at first. But he admitted that he was a ‘fingersmith’ at last.

Tricks in Language

In this story, to show the character’s class more clearly, Roald Dahl has used some tricks. Especially when writing the hitchhiker, his accent and incorrect grammar show that he was uneducated and forecast that he may not have a decent job. Moreover, the hitchhiker uses slang and informal words a lot. With the comparison of the narrator, it can clearly state the different classes between them.

Who’s the ‘good’ person?

There has always been a conflict between kindness and punishment. It seems that the police should be the one who represents fairness and justice, but he seemed really arrogant and unfair. Instead, the hitchhiker was proud of his job and claim that he never steals things from the poor and was honest. Also, the dramatic irony at the end, the warm-hearted narrator has been stolen even without his attention. This controversial conflict brings us to an absurd but realistic world that the author creates. And it let us think of the question: who’s the good person in fact?

Overall, I really appreciate this short and amazing fiction. Roald Dahl has never let me down. Someone said Dip in the pool is better, but I don’t agree with that. I strongly recommend all the high school students to read this fantastic story because of its clever words and themes which are worth thinking about.

<Lamb to the slaughter> is one of a crime novel wrote from <Short stories of Roald Dahl>, wrote by Roald Dahl. The story is talking about a perfect crime committed by the Mary Maloney, who is the main character of this story.

One day, Patrick Maloney went home and told Mary Maloney, his pregnant wife something very serious, which made her felt very angry and unwilling to forgive. Under the strong attack, Mary Maloney killed him by a big frozen leg of lamb. She decided to keep this as a secret. Mary put the lamb leg into the oven, she went out to brought some food for the dinner, then, she came home and saw the dead body of Patrick, she cried and called the police. Polices found out the cause of Mary's husband's death, but they cannot find the weapon. Mary begged the polices to eat the leg of lamb, she said that Patrick would let them eat it if he is still alive. After polices finished all the lamp in the kitchen, Mary began to giggle. Because they ate the weapon.

However, this is a good story, but I do not recommend it. Because this story may cause a bad influence to children, we can see that it doesn't say whether Mary was finally arrested or not. Mary’s action is quite wrong, and people may feel terrible while they read the story. I gave it the rating of 6 out of 10 for this story.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

The British writer of "the detective" is Christian express. The novel tells the story of the East Express leaving Istanbul on a severe winter night. There were few passengers on the bus, including the famous private detective Poirot. The next morning, American tycoon Rachel was found dead in his box, stabbed with 12 knives. This is obviously murder. Poirot felt something strange and immediately launched an investigation at the request of the railway company. After asking all the passengers and the only steward, Poirot found that all the people were related to the dead and had been scolded and insulted by the dead, who was a criminal leader. Therefore, the dead were retaliated by all the passengers. Out of sympathy for the insulted, Poirot managed to get them out of suspicion. This book is a very excellent reasoning novel. All the details in the text suggest the murderer of the murder, but it needs to be read several times to clarify the clues in the text.I would recommend this book, but I would recommend you watch the film adapted from this novel. The film can make it easier for people to understand the plot.

And the offenders are training them really strangely which the kids can’t stand any longer, so they escaped and found the treasure box, and get rich at last.

“The Great Gatsby” tells the story of a millionaire named Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is in love with Daisy, who is already married, and they begin an affair. While driving Gatsby’s car, Daisy hits and kills a woman. Gatsby takes the blame, only to be shot by the woman’s husband. Many people say Fitzgerald's novel is about the death of the American dream, but I think it's about hope. The first five chapters, or even the first six, were tedious, or did I lack the ability to make sense of them.

I would recommend this book for everyone, for the reason, this book tells us that happiness CANNOT be bought with money, and Gatsby's death is further proof of the superficial realities of the American Dream.

"Love or Money" is a detective story. It tells the story of a mother and her children about money. Everyone in the Clarkson family is staring at the huge fortune of Molly, the owner of the house and everyone hope she will die soon, so they can get the huge inherited. Including her own daughter Diana and son Roger, who need the money to pay for their luxurious life; and the other daughter Jackie, Jackie hated Molly because she disapproved of her marriage to Tom, the gardener. And then there was Molly's brother-in-law Albert who desperately needed the money for his wife's illness. Finally, Molly died in her birthday night, who is the murderer? The truth seems to be emerging under Detective Walsh's questioning...

I highly recommend you to read this book. <love or money> is not as touching as other books about family love, it is even a little cruel, but it can also provide the reader with some thoughts, you can think about what love, family affection and money mean to a family. And you can stand on different point to think about it. For example if you’re Molly what would you do, if you know that all your relatives want you to dead. Similarly, you can look at the book from the perspective of other characters like Tom, and of course you can think as a reader, as an outsider, what would you do?

In addition, the story is not very long, so you don't need to spend a lot of time, and the English words of the book are not very difficult, it is easy to understand.

Finally, I would like to give this book five stars, because I am very satisfied with the book, both the story and the logic of the story. It’s perfect English reading for me, and I enjoy it.

This book is called "Dialogue between Nobel laureates and children", written by German writer Bettina sticker.
There are 21 stories in this book. and 21 Nobel Laureates in Mathematics, Politics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Economy, Literature and other fields are invited to write stories for children.
This is a special popular science book. It tells children a lot of knowledge in popular and vivid language, and enriches our minds. One disadvantage is that most of the problems it contains are very basic and tend to children with many problems. Teenagers can also watch, but these problems maybe not satisfy you, I think.

I would recommend this book, which can solve some simple problems in our daily life, because it contains the problem that we often don't think about. I would recommend this book to the people in primary or junior high school, because it may be more attractive for people of their age. If older children are interested, they can also read it. This book is quite interesting and there are also many small illustrations beside the articles.

This book tells about a little girl named Sophie who was brought to the giant country by a kind-hearted giant. The giant is a kind-hearted giant. There are all kinds of terrible giants in the giant country, all of whom have a common hobby - cannibalism. In order to prevent other giants from continuing to eat people, the giant prepared a realistic dream for the queen of England, and then blew it into the bedroom of the palace to let the queen know that the giant killed so many lovely children. So the queen sent troops, caught nine cannibals and banned them for exhibition. The main characters are Sophie, The BFG and Mary.

I would recommend this book, and I will give 4 stars out of 5, because this is a different giant. The most important thing is that he believes that cannibalism is immoral. He prefers to eat big nose melons that are difficult to swallow. This is the biggest difference between him and other giants.

Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by British novelist Jane Austen. The novel tells us the story of Mr. Bennet’s family of five unmarried daughters and their hope for a better marriage.

Characters:

Elizabeth Bennet

The most intelligent and spirited young woman with quick wit.

Fitzwilliam Darcy

A wealthy, proud young man of a well-established family.

Jane Bennet

A beautiful and gentle daughter of Mr. Bennet.  She is Elizabeth’s confidant and the oldest of the Bennet daughters.
Charles Bingley

A good-natured and wealthy friend of Darcy who falls in love with Jane.

Mr. Bennet

A gentleman of modest income, married Mrs. Bennet

Mrs. Bennet

Mr. Bennet’s wife, and foolish, unrestrained mother.

Written from the perspective of Elizabeth, the novel explores a number of themes,   such as love, marriage, pride, prejudice, class, reputation, and many others.

In my opinion, what is good about this novel is that the big theme-marriage spread into several small themes. Marriage is also a clue to connect the experiences of many characters, showing the social background at that time, and showing different views on marriage.

I think the difficulty lies in the fact that the book is a bit profound. For students, marriage is still a bit distant. Maybe we will have a deeper understanding of this book in the future.

I would recommend this book, and I will give 4 stars out of 5 for this book.
The author's description of the female characters is vivid. The inner thoughts and choices of the women in her works also reflect the life of women in the conservative state from the end of the 18th century to the early 19th century.

The novel The Giver written by Lois Lowry in 1993, describes a society of Utopia, where there is no hunger, crime, homeless people, etc. The main character Jonas lives with his mother, and father, a mild-mannered, tenderhearted Nurturer who works with infants, sister Lily and his little brother Gabriel, a little boy brought home by his father. Jonas shows his apprehension about The Ceremony of Twelve, which is a signal of great change. At this ceremony, he is designated by the committees to be the receiver of memory, who has to take the responsibility of receiving all human memories in the past. During the training with the last receiver, he knows all the truths about this so-called community of Utopia. The release of handicapped new birth refers to, in fact, injecting some chemicals into the baby to make it die, while Jonas’s parents tell him the release is just sending a baby elsewhere. The ending of the novel is ambiguous and mysterious.

I would absolutely recommend this great science fiction to teenagers as the plot is thrilling and the theme is thought-provoking. After reading this book, I had a profound thought about the Utopia world. Is it really a perfection? Or it is just a lie covered by many white lies? I would give it a solid nine out of ten.

And over there, he met Hermione Jean Granger and Ronald Bilius Ron Weasley who are Harry’s most loyal companions in his whole life. In this book, they got to know each other and overcame a lot of difficulties. The good point of this book is that it is fiction and can keep people interested in it. The bad point is that the book is too long and people may not have the patience to finish it.

I will recommend this book to Chinese students who already read the Chinese version of Harry Potter, so that they can first have a big picture of the book, and reading English will not be so hard. Moreover, students can learn a lot of new vocabulary by reading it. Thus, this book is a really good tool to learn vocabulary and practice English reading skills.

Instead of the usual inspirational stories, you'll learn a lot about how to deal with close relationships with family and friends. I especially liked a sentence in the cover“You can't blend in when you were born to stand out.”

I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10. Because it is suitable for many people, such as anxiety patients, autistic people and so on can read. You'll accept your imperfections through this book: "It's not about being the best, It's about being better.

这是《法医秦明》系列中的其中一本书，我认为它是TOP1。《法医秦明》是刑侦类专门讲述法医的小说，书中由十四个小案件构成，主线（手指）支撑着整本书的走向。作者秦明再绝不违背科学现实的前提下写出了罪案、社会、慈悲，中间还有很多法医的专业知识。这套书比起一些悬疑小说更加真实，没有所谓的上帝视角。书中有很多伏笔和悬念，通过反映现实来表达主题思想。我印象最深刻的还是这本书的第一个案件“油爆奇案”。这一暗降写的是刑警队在扫黑除恶的过程中查获一家使用地沟油的商家，在过程中却发现了一截人类的手指，然后就开启了故事后续。这截手指也是案件的主线，但作者没有第一时间写下这个案件的后续或者凶手，而是谈起了其他直线。（中间穿插了手指）这样可以引发读者的阅读兴趣，更有好奇心阅读下文。直到最后一章节，作者才揭晓了真相。《法医秦明》这一系列是一环扣一环的故事，所以可以按照书的顺序阅读。

A classic of dystopian literature and the first to connect the genre to teenage perspectives, it is apparently widely studied in US schools. As I read, I'm sometimes reminded of John Wyndham's "The Chrysalids", which I enjoyed reading as a kid. There are also some links that could be made to more modern stories like "Divergence" or even "Harry Potter" (there's a selecting/categorising ceremony). I'm reading this book because I am using it for Grade 8 English class. It links some of the content we covered in unit 3 to some of the concepts in unit 4. It's a very ambitious read for Grade 8 so don't worry, we're building in a bit of differentiation using plot summaries :)

The maze is where you go to find what you're looking for, whether it's the organization you work for, your family, or the neighborhood you reside in. The issue is that the cheese continues to move.

代表作品有《全球高考》《某某》《判官》《一级律师》《铜钱龛世》《黑天》等。
《全球高考》讲述主人公游惑一路刷题逃生，其中有高考真题，很值得观看。
这本书我看了两遍。《全球高考》里的每一个人物塑造都很成功，每一个细节都值得去细细品味。我在看第二遍的时候，发现了许多作者埋下的伏笔，都一一与后文相照应，这促成了后文中的许多真相出乎意料之外却又在情理之中，好像这样才是对的。

I am reading Diary Of A Wimpy Kid lately. The book tells you about the daily life of a stupid, funny child. I would say the book is hilarious and easy to read. When you wanted to have a rest, you can read this book to relax. What's more, there are many idioms in this book. While laughing, you can learn something worthwhile also. I strongly recommend the English version of this book, because the Chinese version is pretty much boring.

"Ever wonder what it's like to grow up in Greenwich Village and live the fast life of a teenage kid who's breaking into the brilliant inside world of modeling and television, meeting beautiful girls, hanging out with neighborhood kids willing to try anything once? Here, by turns, is the revealing, deeply touching, hilarious, and heart breaking story of a twelve-year-old who does just that."

Written by David Sheinkopf, this memoir not only talked about his adventure in New York City, but also the adventure he had with friends in the 1980s in the heart of "The Village" (greenwich village, east village, lower east side and alphabet city) Manhattan, New York where I grew up. Reading this book and his memories reminds me of my own adventures as a young man in NYC. As a musician and an actor, New York was the place for me to make my mark.

这次我分享的是阿加莎的长篇小说《无人生还》的中文版本。大家也可以选择去阅读英文原版。对电影感兴趣的同学也可以去看电影版本。
对于一个侦探悬疑小说爱好者的我，极力推荐这本书给大家。首先，故事性很强。随着参加者的死去，一步步的揭开悬念。在临近结尾的地方，还有转折。《无人生还》所讲述的故事是一个极其经典的暴风雪山庄模式的故事。所谓暴风雪山庄模式，类似于一个密室，大家无法与外界产生联系。参加者先后死亡，凶手就在其中。这样也使作者一直提着悬念，到最后才把答案揭晓。
其次，阿加莎很好的把故事线与十个印第安小朋友的童谣结合。桌上的十个小士兵对应十个参与者。一个参与者死亡，少一个小士兵。最后无人生还。给故事添加了戏剧性。
其实整个故事中所有的参加者都直接或者间接导致了别人的死亡。所以作为本案的凶手，像在伸展正义。书的最后，是凶手的自述。从自身心理的方面深化小说对人性的揭示。

《绝对不在场证明》是本格推理大奖得主大山诚一郎的短篇小说集，包含七个短篇，几乎涵盖了所有不在场证明诡计类型。

有一间古怪的钟表店，不仅售卖钟表，还兼营着一项“代客推翻不在场证明”的业务，一次收费五千日元。

死而复生的被害人、睡梦中的凶杀案、雪地上的三行脚印……凶手利用时间的漏洞，制造了一个又一个几乎完美的不在场证明！7个短篇，构成了这本轻松好读的悬疑推理小说。和大山其他的书一样，一条不变的主线，里面有不变的主人公，一般是警察身份，一个只听故事就能破案的天眼选手。大山的文笔很细腻，会把很多描述的部分写的很详细，看到的每一个案件，通过他的描述，基本在脑海里就有画面和故事，直观有效。

Armistice runner by Tom Palmer.

This book is about a girl having a hard time competing in a running race in her hometown. while she is there, she gets to know her grandma, and her grandma decided to tell a story of one of her relatives, who was a solider back in the day. Once she knew about him, here, she wanted to learn more. So through out the diaries that he wrote, the two lives were connected by memories.
I think this book is great because it connects with the reader in a way that is distorted which makes it super interesting. Another thing that I like about this book is the fact that it is very short( 150ish pages). I only spent 1 hour and i finished it, and if i had to say its probably the hour that i enjoyed the  most, thus making this book my favorite book so far.

I don't usually read fictions, to be honest. However, if I were asked to make one recommendation of any contemporary works that you must read, then I'd definitely say this one.

This book was originally a birthday gift from one of my best American friends at a time when I was really frustrated about many things in my late 20s, starting to let my negativity affect people around me.  That's the time when my friend gave me this book as a gift without telling me why I should do so, but simply said: "I think it's time for you to read this book." And I did. Since then, I've been returning to the book almost every year to refresh my mind and understanding about many life events happening along the journey of growing-up. Another reason to recommend it in the OCAC context is that it's fairly accessible English fiction to students here. I mean it's not too long, too difficult and connects to some aspects of our lives that students can reflect on. In addition, this fiction was adapted to a film version that you can easily find on YouTube.

Well, I'll stop here for now and leave you to decide if you'd like to check it out or not.

Enjoy reading! Connect to your inner world!

《尤利西斯》是爱尔兰作家詹姆斯·乔伊斯创作的长篇小说，首次出版于1922年。
该小说讲述的是青年诗人斯蒂芬寻找一个精神上象征性的父亲和布卢姆寻找一个儿子的故事。斯蒂芬已经有了一个生理上的父亲西蒙·迪达勒斯，但是斯蒂芬只把他当成肉体上的父亲，他认为自己有能力变得成熟，也可以成为一名父亲，然而，由于父亲西蒙·迪达勒斯的批评和缺乏理解并没有成功。因此斯蒂芬所寻找的父亲只能是一个象征性的父亲，这个父亲可以允许斯蒂芬自己也成为一名父亲。布卢姆寻找儿子从很大程度上讲则是因为他需要一个后代来巩固自己的身份和延续香火。由此可见，斯蒂芬和布卢姆两人都希望通过寻求为父之道来巩固他们各自的身份。
乔伊斯通过描述一天内发生的单一事件向人们展示了一幅人类社会的缩影，通过对一个人一天日常生活和精神变化的细致刻画揭示了人类社会的悲与喜，英雄与懦夫的共存以及宏伟与沉闷的同现。
《尤利西斯》作为意识流小说的代表作，被誉为20世纪百大英文小说之首，并被奉为20世纪最伟大的小说。

作者在文中说到“请原谅我的虚伪自大，这是我无法避免的性格”，对此我想说，你不必为此觉得抱歉，你应该为此感到庆幸。因为你有人类的本性，每个人都有自私和无私的一面。如果你没有虚伪自大的话那就不是一个完整的人并且违背了人的天性。
作者去到一个陌生的小镇时候开始了自己的生活，但是他生活的方式与大多数人不同。我们去到一个新地方会先买房或者找一个建筑工人进行修建，但是作者却自己修建屋子并且只花费了27元，他的27元用来加固自己的房子的基本功能和结构而没有从中抽取7元来装饰这个房子。老实说，如果是我自己我一定会花费这7元来装饰自己的房子。我和作者不同，我不仅注重自然的视觉体验我也同样注重自己所有物的视觉体验。作者只用了27元建造了自己理想中并且喜欢的房子但是一个大学每学期的住宿费是三十元并且要住在一个学生自己并不喜欢的鸽子笼里面。试问，大学是用来盈利的还是用来教学的呢？

和大家分享对我最有启发的一个章节内容：
保持头脑极度开放。

通常而言，我们的头脑是闭塞的。因人类大脑运行而产生的两大障碍会严重影响、阻碍我们做到头脑极度开放。一个是自我意识的障碍。另一个是思维盲点。（这里只分享第一个吧）

自我意识障碍是指你的潜意识里的“防卫机制”，它使你难以接受自己的错误和弱点。你有以下根植于内心最深处的需求和恐惧，例如需要被爱，害怕失去别人的爱；需要让自己有意义，害怕自己无意义。这些需求源自你大脑里的一些原始部分，比如杏仁核。因为你大脑的这些区域是你感知不到的，所以你几乎不可能理解他们需要什么，它们如何控制你。这些区域会简化地处理事物，做出本能反应。

更高级的意识源于你的大脑皮层，即“前额皮层”部分。这是你的大脑里最具有人类特则的部分。 你会通过这一部分清醒地感知到自己在做决策，在应用逻辑和推理。

“两个你”在争夺对你的控制权。一个是“有逻辑有意识的你”，一个是“情绪化和潜意识”的你。 当你问自己我怎么放任把一整块蛋糕都吃了的时候，答案是：“因为较低层次情绪化的你战胜了较高层级深思熟虑的你。

当别人和你有不同意见并让你解释时，因为你的大脑构造让你把这样的做法视为攻击，所以你会变得愤怒，尽管更合理的反应应该是你对别人的观点产生兴趣。要有效行事，你就绝不能允许“想要自己正确“的需求压倒”找出真相“的需求。如果你对自己掌握的知识和擅长的事情过于自豪，你学到的东西就会变少，决策质量就会变低。

I mostly read fiction, but for some reason right now I felt like reading a non-fiction book. This is a history of modern Singapore. I'm reading it because I'm interested in urban planning, and the way that generations respond to changing economic trends and demographics. The book is not organized chronologically--which can feel frustrating sometimes--but rather, thematically. It's interesting so far. Urban planning is one of the careers I once considered before I went into teaching.

I am a fan of George Saunders' short fiction, and cite him as a bit of an influence on my own writing. This is not a book of his own writing, however, but his analysis of various stories by Russian authors, based on his notes from teaching a course for several years on this topic. While I don't exactly enjoy the Russian short fiction, his perspective on them helps me appreciate the stories more, and a lot of the writing advice he includes with his analysis really resonates with me. There can be a lot that can be learned from analyzing the works from others. He has also created a SubStack called Story Club where he also continues to show his accumulation of creative writing expertise.

《行为心理学》（美）华生著                         Discover the hidden meaning behind a person's behavior! 

# data[].attributes.body
Behavioral psychology is a school of psychology that originated in the United States in the early 20th century and was founded by the American psychologist Watson. The behaviorist view is that psychology should not study consciousness, but only behavior. Behavior is the combination of bodily reactions that an organism uses to adapt to changes in its environment. These reactions are no more than muscle contractions and glandular secretions, some of which are expressed outside the body, some hidden inside the body, and some of which vary in intensity. The behavioral school believes that human psychological consciousness and mental activity are inscrutable and inaccessible, and that psychology should study human behavior. Psychology studies behavior in order to identify the relationship between stimulus and response, so that the response can be inferred from the stimulus and the stimulus from the response, for the purpose of predicting and controlling human behavior.

It is not an academic book with theories or professional vocabulary. It is about how an"innocent" educated man learns from a wild and primary society.

I read this book twice before I understand it. It's a great truth in life. His story begins with the death of molso's mother, but at molso's mother's funeral, he was not sad at all. Just because he didn't cry at the funeral, he was identified as a demon of deliberate murder, but is it true? In life, if others say this circle is bigger, no one will believe you say another circle is bigger. This book allows you to experience the absurdity of the world from a unique perspective. In this world, good "I" seems out of place, "I" seems completely different from this world. In order to get together, I lost myself. After reading this book, I believe you can know more.

Life cannot be "reborn". However, when seeing people like "past self", in addition to being sad about the passage of their own life, there seem to be some "feelings", such as the life experience, exhortations and blessings of people in the past. On the surface, these words are meant to be said to the other party, but "in fact", they are also talking to the "past self". Behind the language or words, there is actually a secret desire: "if I were as young as you, what would I do?"

The first class was a collection of lecture notes from Wu Hong who taught Chinese art history at Harvard University and the University of Chicago 。But he just published the handout of the first class of each unit. Wu said that the first lesson of each subject was the most important because it was the occasion for the opening and the first meeting with the students.The book is divided into two parts, including the historical evolution and observation of the history of art  The General Theory of Early Chinese Fine Arts from the Neolithic Liang Chu Culture in Historical Order 。Then through a piece of cultural relics to tell the historical and artistic significance behind it 。For example, he compared the pottery of Northern and Southern Dynasties with that of Han Dynasty to prove the idea that social turmoil created artistic turmoil. I think that all art is inseparable from the historical and political context of the time 。Wu Hung also explained this idea in detail in the book 。About beauty I think it's a habit 。At the same time, Wu Hong told us that if we want to understand art, we must first learn to criticize and think 。So I also made a lot of notes in the book, according to their own read other books and knowledge to write down their own ideas in a book I think it is a good habit for reading.

A Tang Dynasty version of "when the stars of mankind shine", the whole book uses eight stories to connect the history of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline to extinction, see the times and destiny from the eyes of different poets, and tell the dreams, difficulties and drifts of young people in Changan. This book lets us know that the famous poets we read today wrote those classic works handed down from generation to generation. For them, it is also a bargaining chip for exchanging fame and spreading their status in life. Bei Mingyu  did not write their stories into simple poetry appreciation or personal biography, but connected their stories with about 150 years since the An Shi rebellion to tell an great story. "Young talents come to Chang'an in the hope of becoming a good official, serving the country and keeping a name in history. But no one knows what the turning point of history is, and their fate is always rebellious and not according to their imagination.
Therefore, despite their knowledge and enthusiasm, poets like them are still shut out of the chaotic officialdom, which is why this book is called Chang'an guest. These poets are only guests of Chang'an, but they can't stay here forever.

Recently, I was reading the book "bud not buddy", which I highly recommend. I hate reading, especially English books, but although this book doesn't make me feel like reading it at one time, at least it doesn't exclude him. This book is mainly about a little boy who is dependent on his mother. He doesn't know where his father is, and his mother didn't take him to find him. One day his mother died and the little boy bud was sent to the foster family, but he escaped and began to look for his father according to the information his mother told him about his father

In the story, I think the most important thing in the story is where Atticus tells Jem that "It is a sin to kill a mocking bird", in the book, it means "don't make any harm, unless it did something to you". In story, why is it a sin to kill a mockingbird? In the novel itself, Miss Maudie explains to Scout why Atticus declared that it was a sin to kill a mockingbird: “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, don't do one thing but sing their hearts out of us".
After reading the book, The book had changed me, I have been changed to making myself do things that I think that is only right and wanted to do in life. And now I mostly stopped myself from   making bad decisions in life. The second thing the book changed me is where the book said that "It is a sin to kill a mocking bird".
I felt that line meant a very lot to me, to made me more calm when I felt bad and stressed

In One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez has done nothing less than recount human history, and even human nature itself, seen from every angle, in a mere 417 pages. There's nothing else that needs to be said about this book that hasn't already been said. I actually first read this book when I was in high school, and it was the first book which took me on a real journey into the world of the book while I was reading it. It has always been my favorite book and turned me onto books for the rest of my life. Please give it a try. After all, like me, you may end up cherishing this book for what all great art truly is: a joy forever.

I'm currently reading the book Second Sister written by Chan Ho-Kei, considered one of the top mystery novelists in China. The story is caused by a girl who committed suicide because of cyber violence. The girl's sister contacted a reclusive Hong Kong hacker to find the truth behind it. In the end it all comes together to tell us who caused the girl’s death and what the proper punishment is in a world where online and offline dialogue has increasingly forgotten about the real people on the other end.
