A．Arts． B．Entertainment． C．Science． D．Education． D I am reading a novel at the moment，a s tory set in Britain and India in the 19th century．It was written by an Indian author who now lives in Denmark，but neither in the language of Hindi nor Danish．Although the paperback edition I’m holding was published in New Delhi，India，four years ago，I(an American)purchased it recently from a secondhand bookshop in Tokyo，Japan．That’s quite a history already．But there’s more．The novel is a tale of various mysteries，all expertly put into a wellstructured story by a very，skillful author．Yet my particular copy presents even more mysteries than the tale．One summer morning in the year of my paperback’s publication—on July 15，2012—someone else was reading it while eating breakfast in a restaurant in Mumbai，India．I know this because I found a receipt(收據(jù))of coffee and bread inside．I also know that this person was not the owner of the paperback immediately before me．In fact，the owner before me was not Indian at all，but Japanese．I know this because in the book there are handwritten notes in Japanese—translations of English words which the reader was unfamiliar．Japanese being a language of characters，not letter，it is not easy to determine if the note writer was a man or a woman．But the care taken to write the translations neatly in the limited spaces available on each page bespeaks a woman’s hand．So let us agree that it is a woman．What can we say of her? Well educated，obviously，and probably a university student，who would keep a dictionary at hand while reading a novel．But why did she suddenly stop reading? The last translation in my paperback appears on Page 83，less than a．Did she give up because the book was proving too difficult? Or was there some other reason? Many a novel presents mysteries，all of which are solved by the end of the tale．The mysteries presented by my little paperback，however，remain mysteries，all expertly put into a wellstructured story，not by a skillful writer，but this time by the numberless vagaries(變幻莫測)of life itself． 32．What can we learn about the novel? A．It is well written．B．It is about a world trip．C．It was written in an American res taurant． D．It was first published in the 19th century．33．The author assumes the Japanese owner of the book was a woman based ．the pretty handwriting B．the food written on the receipt C．the good co ndition of the book D．the effort taken in writing the notes 34．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．He is a great reader of historical fiction． B．He is a hardworking university student． C．He is a productive writer with sensibility． D．He is a careful observer with imagination． 35．W hat’s the best title of the text?A．The Tale of a Paperback B．Different Life Experiences C．Unsolved Mysteries of Life D．A Book’s Exciting
