When you think of the books that are read and taught in high schools across the US，what are the first titles that come to mind? The Great Gasby, Lord of the Flies．The Catcher in the Rye and of Of Mice and Men probably flood your memory．The authors of these books have something in common：They were all white men．
The truth is，many reading lists are short on female and minority authors．And some argue    that teaching the literary canon(文学经典)to students who no longer find relevance(相关性)    in the issues presented will fail to interest teens and ultimately rum them away from reading．
“When we think about summer reading books or adding a new book to a course，we’re often looking for women or people of color，”said Scott Campbell，an English teacher at New Trier High School，who admired there’s a gap in the curriculum where minority writers should be．
“Women a hundred or so years ago were not encouraged or expected that they might write，this is just one of the after-effects of male domination”，Campbell explained．
“I think book lists in schools are sexist(性别歧视的)，but I don’t think it’s the schools’    fault，”said Jones from a high schoo1．“I think it’s because we still think good literature is only    written by white males，which simply isn’t true. I do see，though，that teachers are trying to change mat．”
Teachers at Hancock High School are doing the similar job．Hancock curricula include books and concepts teachers believe to be more culturally relevant to their students．
Hancock junior Sandra Rodriguez said she likes her school’s selections that have replaced    some to the traditional high school reads．
32．Why does the writer mention some books in the first paragraph?
A．To show these books arc mostly written by white men．
B．To advise students to read these books．
C．T0 comment on the authors．
D．To show these books are classic．
33．Why does Scott Campbell choose books written by women or people of color?
A．These books are better in content．
B．There are few of such books in the curriculum．
C．He prefers these books．
D．Students like these books more．
34．How does Jones think of the book lists in school?
A．They are not proper and school should be accused．
B．They are written by white men and are better than others．
C．They are more suit able for boys．
D．They should be changed．
35．What does“the similar job”in the sixth paragraph refer to?
A．Changing the teaching method of literature．
B．Adding more culturally relevant books to the curriculum．
C．Arousing students’passion for reading．
D．Helping students read more books．

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Selfies(自拍)have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments．When it comes to taking selfies，knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product．
36 Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face，so turn your face toward the main light source．If you want to be creative，play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the    side． 37 In addition，natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you’re    glowing．
When taking selfies，angles also matter a lot．Hold the camera away from your face，and try to take photos both horizontally and vertically．38  Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45    degrees above your head．But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them．
39 You can always do more to show others your best side．Try to simplify the    background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas．Document yourself engaging in    interesting activities—hiking with family members，visiting landmarks，or working out with friends．40
You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast．Some apps offer useful filters，which can change your skin tone and remove pimples(粉刺)on your face．   
A．One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds．
B．The art of the selfie is one that lots of people have practiced and perfected in recent years．
C．The use of light is vital to improving image quality．
D．At least，you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that’s too busy．
E．Nowadays，Selfies are popular with teenagers．
F．If not，your face might look bigger than usual．   
G．Besides，avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting．
