生态活动家阿比正与她的祖母在挪威海岸的一个小岛上度假。在开发并结识了人工智能设备 "月光 "之后，她希望组织一次全球抗议活动。在岛上，她了解到她的曾祖父拒绝了家族的捕鲸生计，而是创造了第一张鲸鱼歌曲录音。在他的启发下，阿比和月光翻译了鲸鱼的歌曲，发现了它们的故事。由于鲸鱼受到威胁，它们的数量正在迅速减少，阿比决心帮助它们……希望和绝望被包裹在冒险中。

罗尔德-达尔的《神奇的狐狸先生》是一本有趣的小书，书中人物大胆而自信。达尔著名的写作风格，读起来很有趣，给人带来很多想象的空间。 

喜剧之王! 这是一本关于两只鸽子和它们的克星 "坏猫 "的搞笑书。这是一本非常有趣和令人愉快的读物，插图也富有表现力。

这是一个真实的故事，讲述了生活在新西兰狂野崎岖的西海岸的两个男孩。加入杰克和查理的行列吧，他们去钓白鱼、淘金、用战斧砍木头、用弓箭射靶子、摘鸭子、在灌木丛中露营和沿河漂流。这本书是对他们另类生活方式的一个很好的介绍。

世界杯过后，越来越多的学生跟我谈起了足球！这让我感到很高兴。因此，为什么不看看世界上最著名的俱乐部徽章的设计、意义和象征呢？！

有史以来最伟大和最有影响力的社会心理学书籍之一，对人群的一般特征和精神统一性、情感和道德、想法、推理能力、想象力、观点等方面有很好的指导意义。

这是一本非常积极、坦诚和有趣的传记，来自当今世界最成功的商业领袖之一。在这本书中，黑石公司的首席执行官和创始人苏世民讲述了他从学校到商业世界的故事。这是一本以故事为基础的商业书籍，讲述当代的商业世界的运行逻辑，以及创业者的思维模式。对任何有兴趣学习卓越技能的人来说，这是一本值得阅读的好书。

贾尼·罗大里，是20世纪最伟大的儿童文学作家之一，曾被授予世界儿童文学领域内的最高奖项——国际安徒生奖。在他的儿童文学作品中，我们仿佛置身于真实的生活场景之中，只不过生活的主角由人变成了一个个瓜果蔬菜。读他的作品，我们恍惚觉得故事就发生在自己身边，这些童话里的故事，也正是现实生活中大家的真实经历。既是现实的，又是美好的。它一方面让我们从故事中看到现实生活中的一面，另一方面又告诉我们生活虽然充满无奈，可是光明的未来总会到来。不论生活多么艰难，不论你历经多少挫折与磨难，都请你相信美好而光明的未来都将到来。因为那颗温暖而纯真的心灵，就是光明的最大希望与源泉。 

本书讲述了孔子这位伟大的圣贤激荡的一生，高度概括了他的人生足迹，并讲述了经典著作《论语》，还介绍了他的朋友圈中几个代表性的重要人物。全书按照以上主题整合为三编:“孔子这个人”“趣味读《论语》”和“孔子的朋友圈” 。书中从他是个美食家，还是个音乐发烧友等有趣的角度出发，呈现的孔子是一位有血有肉、有爱有遗憾的丰富形象，拉近了小读者与这也古代圣贤的距离。

作为中国第一部获得雨果奖（科幻文学领域的最高奖项）的科幻小说，《三体》具有划时代的意义。这本书不仅可以启发学生的想象力，更能激发学生对科学和宇宙的好奇心，让学生更好地理解人类与宇宙之间的关系。中国式思维+恢弘的想象+人性的思考。

好思想产生好的故事。书名“你一生的故事”，人的一生就像一个第三者在讲故事，如果一个人知道自己的命运了会怎么做？作者给了自己的回答。就如萨丕尔·沃尔夫假说所讲，语言决定人们看世界的方式，本书就是这个假说的完美体现。非线性的语言决定了七肢桶看世界也是非线性的。文中对于行为论的说法也是如此奇妙，行为的完成是仪式的体现，而这种仪式是已经成为现实的未来。

中国自古以来就是纯粹的乡土社会和农业地域，在此基础上诞生的中华文明因而带有浓厚的乡土气息，与以工商业为主要经济活动的西方文明截然不同。可能只有真的接纳和理解了这种“土味”重的乡土气息，我们才能更准确的理解真正的中国，并借此理解根植于中华文明中的我们自身，而这些知识和理解，对我们的学生来说是极其稀缺的。

巴金先生曾在序言中这样说道：青春是美丽的东西，那么就让它作为我的鼓舞的源泉罢。青春是激情的，是奋斗的资本，巴金先生的《家》让你感受到了青春的力量。巴金先生此文写于年轻时，虽说先生对此文终觉不是很好，却展现了年轻时先生内心的真实感受，全文围绕高觉新，高觉民，高觉慧三人而展开。大幕拉开，描绘的是真实的民国封建之景。主人公觉慧不同于他人，他有更先进的思想，更细腻的情感和一颗不屈服的心，在经历了周边人太多的悲欢离合，见证了自己哥哥们的不由自己把控的生活，被飞扬而来的封建教义迷信刺痛双眼之后，终于决心离开这个名为家，实为“狭的笼”的地方。可以推翻现实枷锁的只有你自己，无关他人。

《你好，艺术》全十三册，是日本小学馆的镇社之宝，介绍了梵高、莫奈、毕加索、高更等13位国外艺术大师，共收录来自全世界50座博物馆的165幅世界经典画作。作者用孩子的视角切入名画，抓准每位画家的艺术特点，以充满场景感和对话的方式，为孩子打开抽象画的大门，拉进孩子与名画的距离，引导他们沉浸画中，体验艺术之美。

这本《中国美术五千年》，是清华大学教授杨琪写给大众的美术通识读本。煌煌画卷，风雅传承，走进24朝5000年美的历程。重拾文化自信，从了解中国的传统艺术开始。作者杨琪是清华大学美术学院艺术史论系教授，长期致力于大众艺术的普及工作，希望传统艺术能够受到国人的重视。

《看见》是知名记者和主持人柴静讲述央视十年历程的自传性作品，既是柴静个人的成长告白书，某种程度上亦可视作中国社会十年变迁的备忘录。十年之间，非典、汶川地震、北京奥运……在每个重大事件现场，几乎都能发现柴静的身影。在书中，她记录下淹没在宏大叙事中的动人细节，为时代留下私人的注脚。一如既往，柴静看见并记录下新闻中给她留下强烈生命印象的个人，每个人都深嵌在世界之中，没有人可以只是一个旁观者，他人经受的，我必经受。书中记录下的人与事，是他们的生活，也是你和我的生活。

Grade6-8

The Curious Incident of the Dog

in the Nighttime

 by Mark Haddon

Grade6-10

This was one of the first books I fell in love with as a child. It is funny, sad, adventurous and sometimes a little scary. It takes you into a magical world, full of possibilities and surprises. It doesn’t matter if you are 8 or 80 years old, this story will capture your imagination. 

Abi, an eco-activist, is holidaying with her grandmother on an island off the Norwegian coast. Having developed and befriended an AI device, Moonlight, she hopes to organise a global protest. On the island, she learns her great-grandfather rejected the family's whaling livelihood, instead creating the first whale song recording. Inspired by him, Abi and Moonlight translate the whales' songs and discover their stories. As whales are under threat, and with their numbers rapidly dwindling, Abi is determined to help...A book offers hope as well as despair, wrapped in an adventure. 

“Fantastic Mr. Fox” by Roald Dahl is a fun little book with bold and confident characters. Dahl’s celebrated writing style is fun to read and offers much for the imagination.  

Comedy Gold! A hilarious book about two pigeons and their nemesis 'Mean Cat'. A very fun and enjoyable read with expressive illustrations. 

The true story of two boys who live on the wild and rugged West Coast of New Zealand. Join Jack and Charlie as they go whitebaiting and fishing, panning for gold, chopping wood with their tomahawks, firing at targets with their bows and arrows, plucking ducks, camping in the bush and rafting down rivers.This book is a great introduction to their alternative lifestyle.

After the World Cup, more and more students are talking to me about football! So why not have a look at the design, meaning and symbolism of the world's most famous club badges! 

One of the greatest and most influential books of social psychology ever written, brilliantly instructive on the general characteristics and mental unity of a crowd, its sentiments and morality，ideas, reasoning power, imagination, opinions and much more.

This is a very positive, frank and fun-to-read biography from one of the most successful business leaders in the world today. In this book, Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO and founder of BlackStone told his stories from school to the business world. It is a story-based business book which shed light on our contemporary business world, and great thinking patterns. For anyone who's interested in learning the skill and arts of excellence, this is a great book to read.

Gianni Rodari, one of the greatest children's writers of the 20th century, was awarded the International Hans Christian Andersen Prize, the highest award in the world of children's literature. In his children's literature, we feel as if we are in a real life situation, except that the protagonists of life have changed from human beings to individual fruits and vegetables. Reading his works, we feel as if the stories are happening around us, and that the stories in these fairy tales are the real experiences of people in real life. It is both realistic and beautiful. On the one hand, it gives us a glimpse of real life in the stories, and on the other hand, it tells us that although life is full of hopelessness, there is always a bright future ahead. No matter how hard life is, no matter how many setbacks and trials you go through, please believe that a bright and beautiful future will come. For the warmth and innocence of the heart is the greatest source of hope and light.  

This book tells the story of the stirring life of the great sage Confucius, giving a high level overview of his life's trajectory and the classic Analects, as well as introducing a few representative and important figures from his circle of friends. The book is organised into three divs on these themes: 'Confucius the Man', 'Fun Reading the Analects' and 'Confucius' Circle of Friends'. The book presents a rich image of Confucius as a man of flesh and blood, with love and regret, from interesting perspectives such as a gourmet and a music enthusiast, bringing young readers closer to this ancient sage.

As the first Chinese science fiction novel to win the Hugo Award (the highest award in the field of science fiction literature), Three Bodies is of epoch-making significance. This book will not only inspire students' imagination, but also stimulate their curiosity about science and the universe and give them a better understanding of the relationship between humans and the universe. It should enlighten the students on the Chinese thinking + magnificent imagery + human reflection.

Good thoughts make good stories. The title of the book is "The Story of Your Life". A person's life is like a third party telling a story. The author gives his answer. As the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis says, language determines the way people see the world, and this book is a perfect embodiment of this hypothesis. Non-linear language determines that the seven-limb bucket sees the world in a non-linear way as well. The text is also so marvellous in its claims about behavioural theory that the completion of behaviour is the embodiment of ritual, and that ritual is the future that has become a reality.

Since ancient times, China has been a purely rural and agricultural region, and the Chinese civilisation that emerged from it has a strong local flavour, very different from the Western civilisation where commerce and industry are the main economic activities. It is perhaps only by truly embracing and understanding this 'earthy' vernacular that we can more accurately understand the real China and, in so doing, understand ourselves as rooted in Chinese civilisation, a knowledge and understanding that is extremely scarce for our students.

Mr. Ba Jin once said this in his preface: Youth is a beautiful thing, so let it be a source of inspiration to me. Youth is passionate, a capital of struggle, and Mr. Ba Jin's 'Home' gives you a sense of the power of youth. Mr. Ba Jin wrote this essay when he was young, and although Mr. Ba Jin did not feel very good about this essay in the end, it shows the true feelings of Mr. Ba Jin's heart when he was young. The whole text revolves around three people, Gao Juexin, Gao Jumin and Gao Juehui. The curtain opens on a realistic view of the feudal Republic. The main character, Juehui, is different from the others in that he has a more advanced mind, more delicate emotions and an unyielding heart. After experiencing too many sorrows and joys of the people around him, witnessing the lives of his brothers that are out of his control, and being stung by the superstition of feudalism that comes flying around, he is finally determined to leave this place that is called home, but is actually a "narrow cage". "The only person who can break the shackles of reality is you. The only person who can overthrow the shackles of reality is yourself, no one else.

The thirteen volumes of Hello, Art, the township jewel of the Japan Primary School system, introduce 13 foreign masters of art, including Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and Gauguin, with a total of 165 classic paintings from around the world in 50 museums. The author uses a child's perspective to cut through the famous paintings, capturing the artistic characteristics of each painter and opening the door to abstract painting in a way that is full of scenes and dialogue, bringing children closer to the famous paintings and guiding them to immerse themselves in them and experience the beauty of art.

This book, Five Thousand Years of Chinese Art, is a general reading of art for the general public written by Professor Yang Qi of Tsinghua University. It included brilliant paintings, elegant heritage, and a journey into 5,000 years of beauty in 24 dynasties. To regain cultural confidence, one should start by understanding traditional Chinese art. The author, Yang Qi, is a professor in the Department of Art History and Theory at Tsinghua University's School of Fine Arts, and has long been dedicated to popularising art for the general public, hoping that traditional art will be taken seriously by the nation.

Seeing is an autobiographical work about the ten-year journey of the famous journalist and presenter Chai Jing, which is both a personal confession of her growth and, to some extent, a memoir of the ten-year changes in Chinese society. In the intervening decade, Chai Jing can be found at the scene of almost every major event, including SARS, the Wenchuan earthquake and the Beijing Olympics ....... In the book, she records the moving details that are submerged in the grand narrative, leaving a personal footnote to the times. As always, Chai sees and records the individuals in the news who have left a strong impression on her life, each deeply embedded in the world, and no one can be a mere spectator. The people and events recorded in this book are their lives, as well as yours and mine.
