Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time， I'll take a close look at their bookshelves．What they keep on their shelves，in my eyes，is a reflection（反映） of their personal tastes and interests．The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life．
My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life， telling a chronological tale． First up come my favorite childhood reads， like Watership Down and His Dark Materials． The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four， The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange． Finally， we come out of full﹣time education and enter the real world， and this part is a reflection of my professional（职业的） life， from the first exciting days of work experience to the present．
If you pointed to any book on my shelves， I could name the year I got it， where I was working，and probably where I was living at the time．
___▲____It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes， dreams and interests． And a big part of that story is how we arrange（排列） our books， and get on with them． It's such a personal thing，different from each other． Some want to be with their books in every room， others have them on
shelves， behind glass or simply lining their floors． Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books．
It's often said that what we read says something about who we are． The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves． From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well﹣organized shelves， whether we notice it or not， our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned．

I am Canadian． I started learning French when I was 10 years old． But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom． All of that changed， however， during my last summer of high school． As a 17﹣year﹣old girl， I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French﹣speaking host family， who didn't speak any English． And I would learn French at a local school．
On the first day of school， all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level． We were required to speak only French all summer．
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends， seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French． Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning， the whole experience was exciting and refreshing．
On weekends， my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province． On one trip， we went whale watching on the St． Lawrence River． Even though it was raining， we could see huge whales swimming around our boat． The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City． I walked along the stone streets， took pictures of the European﹣style（欧式的）buildings， and learned some stories there．
Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer， I was able to communicate pretty well． I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher． Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French﹣speaking environment was a valuable learning experience． And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French．
（1）When did the writer fly alone for the first time？
（2）How did the local school determine the students' language level？
（3）Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French？
（4）What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City？
（5）What could be the main reason for the writer's improvement in French？

Severus Snape / John Nettleship
Severus Snape is a skillful wizard（巫师）teaching magic in Harry Potter． The writer， J．K． Rowling， once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers．
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship， who taught Rowling chemistry． At first， Nettleship felt surprised． "I know I am a strict teacher，" he said． "But I don't think I am as bad as Snape!" On second thoughts， however， he said that he was so ill﹣tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad． Also， he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab． That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans．
Alice / Alice Liddell
Famously， Lewis Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell．
Carroll was close to the Liddell family． One day， ten﹣year﹣old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story． Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole． The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down． And the rest is history．
Dill / Truman Capote
In To Kill a Mockingbird， Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend， Truman Capote． Capote once said， "Lee was my best friend． Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird？ I'm a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!"
