原文+答案解析

004.
Hello and welcome to Book Talk. Today I'm going to talk about a couple of books you can read during the holidays. I have three suggestions for you this week. First, if you enjoy reading science fiction, there's an exciting new book by Alan Cooper called Shallow Earth. It takes place in the future where Earth has almost been destroyed. The main characters are a group of soldiers who are fighting to save the Earth from total disaster. If you are in the mood for something romantic, that's Give Me Shelter, by Kathleen Wang. It's a historical novel set in China, and tells a story of two teenagers growing up in Shanghai in the 1930s. They decided to run away together after the families tried to stop them seeing each other. Finally that's Jump For The Stars, a biography of one of Houston Rocket's most popular players Tracy McGrady. Find out how he started his NBA career, who had the greatest effect on his life, and how he's made his fortune by doing what he loves. That's all for Book Talk this week. See you enxt week and keep reading!
