Features: "Grub" is a premium offering from Oxford University Press for English learners worldwide. In English, "grub" is a rather endearing image—imagine a completely immersed "grub," obsessed with books, tirelessly chewing on letters.
Now, this "grub" has crossed the seas and landed in the hands of Chinese English learners. "Grub" will first give you confidence—even if you currently have only a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class works without much effort. The "grub" will also remind you with its delicate chirping: to persevere and read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly realize that you have transformed like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, ready to soar!
A hundred years ago, the world was vastly different. Most people lived in dark, damp environments without electricity. They rarely went to hospitals and often died tragically. This book tells the story of a poor, ugly person. No one liked him, and everyone mocked him. People put him in a cage and exhibited him like an animal. Until one day, a doctor discovered him. He found him interesting and wanted to study him. Thus, the "Ape Man" became famous, and everyone wanted to visit him—even the queen came to see him.
