I am reading a novel at the moment, a story set in Britain and India in the 19th century. It was written by an Indian author who now lives in Denmark, but neither in the language of Hindi nor Danish. Although the paperback edition I’m holding was published in New Delhi, India, four years ago, I (an American) purchased it recently from a second-hand bookshop in Tokyo, Japan.
That’s quite a history already. But there’s more.
The novel is a tale of various mysteries, all expertly put into a well-structured story by a very skillful author. Yet my particular copy presents even more mysteries than the tale.
One summer morning in the year of my paperback’s publication — on July 15, 2012— someone else was reading it while eating breakfast in a restaurant in Mumbai, India.
I know this because I found a receipt of coffee and bread inside. I also know that this person was not the owner of the paperback immediately before me.
In fact, the owner before me was not Indian at all, but Japanese.
I know this because in the book there are handwritten notes in Japanese — translations of English words with which the reader was unfamiliar.
Japanese being a language of characters, not letters, it is not easy to determine if the note writer was a man or a woman. But the care taken to write the translations neatly in the limited spaces available on each page indicates a woman’s hand. A. birds are rare C. she is afraid of birds

So let us agree that it is a woman. What can we say of her? Well educated, clearly, and probably a university student, who would keep a dictionary at hand while reading a novel.
But why did she suddenly stop reading? The last translation in my paperback appears on Page 83, less than a third of the way through the novel. Did she give up because the book was proving too difficult? Or was there some other reasons?
Many a novel presents mysteries, all of which are solved by the end of the tale. The mysteries presented by my little paperback, however, remain mysteries, all expertly put into a well-structured story, not by a skillful writer, but this time by the numberless vagaries(变化莫测)of life itself. 67. What can we learn about the novel? A. It is about a world trip. B. It is well written.
C. It was written in an American restaurant. D. It was first published in the 19th century.
68. The author assumes the Japanese owner of the book was a woman based on
.
B. the food written on the receipt D. the effort taken in writing the notes
A. the pretty handwriting
C. the good condition of the book A. He is a great reader of historical fiction. B. He is a hard-working university student. C. He is a productive writer with sensibility. D.

one possible version Dear friends,
How time flies. It has been two weeks since you came to our school for the exchange program, which has benefited all of us.
During the past two week, we have been buried in study in the same classroom and lived in the same dormitory harmoniously, which has enabled us to know each other better. Doing the same sports on the playground gives us the opportunity to promote our friendship and mutual understanding. What
impresses us most is your art skills, in which you showed your outstanding talent. We believe that the students in our school have learned a lot from the exchange program.
At last, on behalf of all the students in our school, I wish you will have a safe and happy journey home and that we will have more programs like this in the future. Thank you.
