Jessamine is a calligrapher(书法家) and she has, over the years, recorded the history of her town by writing wedding and death announcements, invitations and menus. Now she has another ability—she finds herself capable of writing such events down before they happen. She knows this is a precious and dangerous gift. She persuades a man in town to accept the relationship between his daughter and a young man whom he dislikes because Jessamine lias already written the wedding announcement. Her relationship with Callie, that young woman, is a wonderful intergenerational friendship. When Jessamine writes her own death notice, she deals with it as wisely as she has dealt with all the rest.
The story of Jessamine is only 51 pages long, and there isn ‘t much difficulty for less able readers. Meanwhile, the idea that one can use a magic power to do good secretly is such an intriguing idea that abler readers will also be drawn to the book.
Readers might be willing to read the book closely to see how DeFelice, the writer of the story, managed to describe such a complex person in so few pages and do it so skilfully. There are times when the passages come close to poetry and students might like to read some particular episodes aloud. For example, when Jessamine learns that Callie will not win the scholarship which could give her a fresh start in life, the way she gives Callie the strength to accept the disappointment and gain self-respect is worth examining.
The passage is probably a________.
选项
A、short story
B、news report
C、book review
D、public notice
答案
C
解析
通读全文可知,文章介绍了DeFelice写的一本书,简要描述了书中的主人公Jessamine及其所做的事情,并告诉了我们本书的长度、难度和吸引人的地方。由此可推知,本文很可能是一篇书评。short story:短篇小说;news report:新闻报道;book review:书评;public notice:公告。故选C。
