Ⅰ. 阅读理解

　　By day a Cairo dentist and by night a novelist,  he spent years struggling to get published.  Today,  Alaa Al Aswany is a best-selling writer across the globe.

　　Aswany was born in Cairo in 1957.  His father was also a novelist,  who won the state award for literature in 1972.  “He was my first professor of literature.  He told me what to read and what not to read, ” said Aswany,  who had a traditional French education and then went to Chicago to study for his dentistry degree.

　　In 2002,  his novel The Yacoubian Building,  was quietly accepted by a small,  independent publisher in Cairo.  Its first edition sold out in four weeks and it was the Arab world’s best-seller for five successive years,  selling 250, 000 copies in a region where print runs seldom go beyond 3, 000.  Word spread quickly,  people talked about it.  It was made into a hit film and a TV serial,  and has since been translated into 27 languages.

　　Aswany said,  “Society is a living organism and you must keep up.  That’s why I still practise,  though for only two days a week.  I will never close the clinic (诊所).  The clinic is my window.  I open it to see what is happening in the street.  You can’t get disconnected from the street,  as a writer; that’s a common mistake.  You can be too easily welcomed every night by the richest people and the most influential.  It is very dangerous because it is that relationship with the street that made you successful in the first place. ”

Ⅲ. 概要写作

(2020·台州模拟)

阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Nowadays,  an increasing number of young Chinese spend money because they are “lazy”. According to a report issued in December by China’s e-commerce platform Taobao on China’s “lazy economy”,  Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan on products and services online in 2018. The post-1995 generation was the “laziest” as its consumption increased by 82 percent,  compared with that in 2017.

The so-called lazy economy refers to a new type of consumption of products and services which are designed to save time and labor. According to the report,  many people of the post-1995 generation buy high-tech electronic devices such as floor mopping robots and automatic window cleaners,  which save the trouble of doing household chores. Meanwhile,  take-out food delivery services are also popular among people born after 1995.

Young people are willing to spend money on such products because they want to enjoy hard-earned leisure time after a busy and stressful day at work or school,  reported Global Times. Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs,  these so-called lazy people tend to use their leisure time more efficiently. For example,  Wei Duo,  a 21-year-old college student,  is a frequent user of take-out food delivery services. “I once had a birthday cake delivered to my friend who lives far from my home. It cost me 50 yuan but it saved me almost half a day that would have been needed to deliver it myself. My friend was also happy because she got to eat the cake instantly. ” Wei told the Global Times.

While the “lazy economy” might be convenient for young people,  it might also create problems. The “lazy economy” on campus is expressed in things like people buying food or other things without leaving the dormitory. As a result,  they stay in their dormitories all day long,  playing on computers and smartphones. According to Jinan Daily,  this situation could lead to young people becoming less sociable and even developing problems of communicating with others,  young people should be alert (警觉的)to it.
