Your 2024 Reading List, Provided by Bill Gates
Most of us can’t live like billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, but we can read like him. Gates recommended four books in 2024—though some were published earlier.
Leonardo da Vinci, by Walter Isaacson (2017)
The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into da Vinci’s contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of his scientific, technological, and creative output. “Leonardo nearly understood almost all of what was known on the planet at the time. That’s mostly because of his curiosity about every area of natural science and the human experience,” said Gates.
The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, by Thi Bui (2017)
Gates calls this graphic novel “really impressive”. Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fall of Saigon, and becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents’ miserable history. “I
was struck by how the experiences Bui illustrates manage to be both universal and specific to their circumstances,” said Gates.
Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders (2024)
Saunders, a long-time short story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt(萦绕) the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln’s son, who died at 11 in real life. “Willie’s death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief he’s creating in other families by sending their
sons off to die in battle,” said Gates.
Origin Story: A Big History of Everything, by David Christian (2024)
This new book is by the creator of Big History, a free, online social studies course. It traces history in wide,
sweeping movements, starting with the Big Bang, and it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe. “David gets a little stuck on the current economic and political problems in the West, and
I wish he talked more about the role innovation will play in preventing the worst effects of climate change,” said Gates.
21. Which books refer to the field of science?
A. Origin Story and Leonardo da Vinci. B. Lincoln in the Bardo and Origin Story.
C. Leonardo da Vinci and The Best We Could Do. D. The Best We Could Do and Lincoln in the Bardo.
22. If you are interested in thrillers, whose book will you most probably choose?
A. Walter Isaacson. B. Thi Bui. C. George Saunders.
D. David Christian.
23. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The Best We Could Do is an autobiography. B. Lincoln in the Bardo has been warmly received.
C. David Christian talks much about the part that innovation will play. D. Readers can only read about Leonardo da Vinci’s contributions towards art.
B
A T-shirt that constantly monitors the heart’s activity and detects abnormalities could help protect people against stroke. The T-shirt, which can be washed up to 35 times before it needs replacing, has been developed to improve the detection of dangerous heart conditions like atrial fibrillation(心房颤动), which causes an irregular heart rhythm and raises the risk of stroke.
At least one million people in Britain are known to have this condition; however, it’s estimated that at least another 500,000 have it but haven’t yet been diagnosed because they have no obvious symptoms. Some will have
symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness and fatigue; but a large number of people have no idea they’re ill until they suffer a stroke.
Detecting atrial fibrillation involves carrying out an ECG(心电图). Conventional ECGs are done in a hospital and involve highly trained teams of staff attaching up to 24 separate electrodes(电极) to different parts of the body to measure electrical signals. But most patients experience abnormal rhythms only intermittently(间歇地). This means the chance of picking them up during a short hospital check is slim.
Doctors sometimes issue patients with a device called a Holter monitor to wear under their clothes to try to pick up cardiac(心脏的) problems. This is an electronic box which clips onto your waistband and is connected to a series of electrodes worn on the upper part of your body. But the box itself is quite bulky, hard to hide beneath clothing and involves a dozen or more wires being attached to the patient’s chest.
The Cardioskin T-shirt, which is made from cotton, could be a much more convenient alternative and can be worn 24 hours a day — meaning it is more likely to pick up any abnormal rhythms in the patient’s heart. It has 15 tiny electrodes woven into the material which are strategically placed around the chest area to track the electrical signals from the heart as they travel across the main part of your body.
The electrodes are powered by a battery which can be removed easily when you need to wash the T-shirt and feed results to a microchip which then sends them out wirelessly to an app. This converts(转换) the data into an easy-to-read chart showing if the heart rate is abnormal. The results are shared with the patient’s doctor so they can check the patient’s heart without having to call them into the hospital.
Martin Cowie, a professor of cardiology at Imperial College London, said, “Cardioskin could be an important development for cardiologists.”
24. How many British people are having dangerous heart conditions according to the text? A. Less than 0.5 million. B. Less than 1 million. C. At least 1.5 million.
D. At least 2 million.
25. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The difficulty in detecting atrial fibrillation. B. The benefit of detecting atrial fibrillation. C. The process of detecting atrial fibrillation. D. The future of detecting atrial fibrillation.
26. Why did the author mention a Holter monitor in the text? A. To show how convenient the Cardioskin T-shirt is. B. To introduce a way to check the patient’s heart. C. To encourage people to care about their health.
D. To explain why doctors like using the device. 27. What can we learn about the Cardioskin T-shirt? A. It has a battery that can be charged easily and quickly. B. It can be worn a month without being washed. C. It has electrodes placed all over the T-shirt. D. It can speed up the process of diagnosis.

Internet time tied to teen depression(抑郁) symptoms
Spending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens — or too little, for that matter — might be related to depression, a new study finds.
The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.
For the study, Dr Pierre·Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.
Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.
The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about “depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.
Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.
That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account. Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.
28. How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users? A. More than two hours. B. More than eight hours. C. More than twelve hours.
D. More than ten hours.
29. What’s the purpose of Dr. Michaud and his colleagues’ study?
