Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.

“In my opinion，”the first man said，“the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder.Although they were built thousands of years ago，they are still standing.And remember：the people who built them had only simple tools.They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”

“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful，”the second man said，“but I do not think they are the greatest wonder.I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids.They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely.In seconds，they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”

He turned to the third man and asked，“What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？”

The third man thought for a long time，and then he said，“Well，I agree that the pyramids are wonderful，and I agree that computers are wonderful，too.However，in my opinion，the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”

And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.

The other two men were very surprised.“A thermos？”they exclaimed.“But that's a simple thing.”

“Oh，no，it's not，”the third man said.“In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot.In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold.How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer？”

The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne

I bought a box set of four Winnie the Pooh books while on holiday when I was eight years old. I adored Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. They became very real to me and I credit them with starting a lifelong love of reading.

I still have the box set, and loved reading the stories to my children when they were small. Part of me secretly believes A. A. Milne’s wonderful characters are all alive and well and still having their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights by Charlotte and Emily Bronte

I can never separate Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights when I think about books that have stayed with me. Both had a deep impact on me when I read them as a teenager.

They were the first classic books I read purely for pleasure, rather than because I had to for school.

I grew up in Yorkshire, not far from where the Brontes lived, so part of me really understood the depressing landscape. That close geographical connection led to a lifelong interest in the authors as much as in the books themselves.

I wrote a high-school essay on the contrasts and similarities between Charlotte and Emily and their heroines. I’d be fascinated to read that essay now to see what conclusions I reached as a 17-year-old.

----Jane Lee

1.What do we know about the Winnie the Pooh books?

A. They are very romantic

B. They are designed for children

C. They describe summer holiday stories

D. They encourage people to have all kinds of adventures

2.One reason why the writer likes Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights is that __________.

A. the stories are in the background of an area that the writer knows well

B. the stories helped the writer with her essay writing

C. they were recommended by the teachers in her school

D. they were easy-to-find classic novels

3.The text intended to tell us _________.

A. to introduce the books’ authors

B. to improve some classical literature

C. to explain the influence of these books on the writers

D. to make comments on the books’ leading characters
