Features: The "New Curriculum Standards" state: "Reading is a personal behavior of students and should not be replaced by teachers' analysis. It should allow students to actively engage in thinking and emotional activities, deepening their understanding and experience, gaining insights and reflections, being moved emotionally, and receiving intellectual enlightenment while enjoying aesthetic pleasure. We should cherish students' unique feelings, experiences, and understanding." "Not necessarily to read" refers to the additional "nutritional supplements" in comparison to the "required reading list." You are not obligated to read this book and have the freedom to choose, but we dare to guarantee that once you do, you will definitely enjoy it and significantly enrich your literary knowledge.

Since Li Ming decided to drop out of school, he often hid in the dorm to paint or took his sketchbook to class to draw the faces of the teachers. Drawing faces was quite fun because each teacher's face had many "stories." He drew the first, second, third, and fourth faces, then filled in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth faces with imagination. Within a few days, he had drawn all the teachers except the female lecturer. Then, he started drawing his classmates. Their faces were far less vivid than the teachers', all looking young and smooth, making it impossible to imagine the fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth faces. Finally, he came up with a solution—using single lines to draw faces with two nostrils, sticking them on the classroom's academic discussion column, and letting everyone guess.
