My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will ries（系列） of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda：Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational.
After Dark：Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters—Eri,a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diver "night people" who are hiding crets.
Gone Girl：Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone el on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you reali what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand：Stephen King

B
"You can u me as a last resort（选择），and if nobody el volunteers,then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacros（长曲棍球） club.
渔歌唱晚I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and .I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on …At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright.Yes,I'll do it."
I'm cretly relieved becau I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,nds out emails,and collects money for end-of-ason gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another ason.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the ason comes to a clo.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more：Connecting to the community（社区） as you freely give your time,money,skills,or rvices provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that n,I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a lfish act than I'd freely like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies？
19.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？ ______
A. She knows little about the club.
B. She isn't good at sports.
C. She just doesn't want to volunteer.
D. She's unable to meet her schedule.
20.What does the underlined phra "tug at the heartstrings" in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
