You're so smart! Part A：準備過年 黛安：過年前我們有很多事要做。 傑伊：對啊，我們得去買新衣服。 黛安：那應該不會花太久的時間，可是打掃房子就得花很多時間了。 傑伊：妳說的對。我們得把每個角落都打掃乾淨，確保任何地方都一塵不染。 黛安：所以你要掃地還是拖地？ 傑伊：我要選第二種。我們新買的拖把用起來挺有樂趣。 黛安：好，那麼我在掃地的時候，你也許可以去貼春聯。 傑伊：好主意！妳真聰明！ Part B: Enjoying New Year's Eve Dinner Jay and Diane are at their family reunion dinner. 傑伊和黛安與家人圍爐吃晚餐。 (Jay = J ; Diane = D) J: Look at all these amazing dishes!

D: He might because it still has its head and tail. J: Anyway, I'm super glad she's back from Canada. D: Yeah, I was sad when she couldn't make it last year. J: The whole family should always be together during Chinese New Year. D: I feel the same way. Part B：除夕圍爐 傑伊：妳看這一桌菜！我迫不及待要享用這些春捲了。 黛安：春捲是很好吃，可是我最想吃的是長壽麵。 傑伊：妳覺得姊姊的外國老公會不會不敢吃這道魚？ 黛安：可能喔，因為頭和尾巴都還在。 傑伊：無論如何，我超高興她可以從加拿大回來。 黛安：對啊，去年她沒辦法回來我好難過。 傑伊：過年就是要全家團圓在一起。 黛安：我也是這麼覺得。 Part C: Visiting Relatives Diane and Jay are visiting their Aunt Lily. 黛安和傑伊去拜訪他們的莉莉姑媽。 (Diane = D ; Jay = J ; Lily = L) D: Happy Chinese New Year, Aunt Lily!

A meningitis outbreak in their underprivileged neighborhood left Sylvia Acevedo’s family forever altered. As she struggled in the aftermath of loss, young Sylvia’s life transformed when she joined the Brownies. The Girl Scouts taught her how to take control of her world and nourished her love of numbers and science. With new confidence, Sylvia navigated shifting cultural expectations at school and at home, forging her own trail to become one of the first Latinx to graduate with a master's in engineering from Stanford University and going on to become a rocket scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Simultaneously available in Spanish!
From the author of The Seed Collectors comes a darkly comic take on power, privilege, and the pressure put on young women to fit in—and be thin—at their all–girls boarding school It's already the second week of term when Natasha, the daughter of a Russian oligarch, arrives at a vast English country house for her first day of boarding school. She soon discovers that the headmaster gives special treatment to the skinniest girls, and Tash finds herself thrown into the school's unfamiliar, moneyed world of fierce pecking orders, eating disorders, and Instagram angst. The halls echo with the story of Princess Augusta, the White Lady whose portraits—featuring a hypnotizing black diamond—hang everywhere and whose ghost is said to haunt the dorms. It's said that she fell in love with a commoner and drowned herself in the lake. But the girls don't really know anything about the woman she was, much less anything about one another. When Tash's friend Bianca mysteriously vanishes, the routines of the school seem darker and more alien than ever before. Tash must try to stay alive—and sane—while she uncovers what's really going on. Darkly hilarious, Oligarchy is Heathers for the digital age, a Prep populated with the teenage children of the European elite, exploring youth, power, and affluence. Scarlett Thomas captures the lives of these privileged young women, in all their triviality and magnitude, seeking acceptance and control in a manipulative world.

As the end of the world arrives in downtown Shanghai, one man’s only wish is to return a library book... When a publisher agrees to let a star author use his company’s attic to write in, little does he suspect this will become the author’s permanent residence... As Shanghai succumbs to a seemingly apocalyptic deluge, a man takes refuge in his bathtub, only to find himself, moments later, floating through the city's streets... The characters in this literary exploration of one of the world’s biggest cities are all on a mission. Whether it is responding to events around them, or following some impulse of their own, they are defined by their determination – a refusal to lose themselves in a city that might otherwise leave them anonymous, disconnected, alone. From the neglected mother whose side-hustle in collecting sellable waste becomes an obsession, to the schoolboy determined to end a long-standing feud between his family and another, these characters show a defiance that reminds us why Shanghai – despite its hurtling economic growth –remains an epicentre for individual creativity.
