The name of the book: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
The author of the book: Thomas Malory
Summary:
Only the next king can pull the sword out of the stone. Many people try, but they cannot move sword. Then young Arthur tries, and it comes out easily. Now he is king. And he is a perfect king. His people love him very much. But one day, Sir Pellinore (one of his Knight) fights with him, because the bad Queen Morgan Le Fay sent him and told him something wrong. So the Sword in the Stone damaged. After that, King Arthur with Marlin——which person often help him, and has strong magic——found the Excalibur. Excalibur is a sword which founding by the Lady of the Lake. The sword was inside a magic scabbard——no one can kill a person with that scabbard. But Queen Morgan Le Fay took it into the black water. So at least, King Arthur was killed by a traitor——Mordred. The Excalibur was throwed into the lake by Sir Bedivere.
Comments:
At least, there is no ‘head of the table’ at a round table，and no one is at a privileged position. Thus the knights were all peers and there was no "leader" as there were at so many other medieval tables. There’re indications of other circular seating arrangements to avoid conflicts among early Celtic groups. However, one could infer importance on the basis of the number of seats each knight was removed from the king. The Siege Perilous ("dangerous chair") was reserved for knights of pure heart.
Digest:
①Words: archbishop castle helmet knight lady scabbard sword above
②Sentences: 1. I will not always be here.
2. I only know that I love you.
3. I am the strongest of King Arthur’s Knights, so I will fight with you without a helmet.

Comments:
This is a Famous article written by the American writer Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind.
In this passage Helen mainly warned us to be aware of our listless attitude towards life. And asking us to care the things we always thought to be ordinary. Finally, her advice of "it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow" Gives me the deepest impression.

2. But there isn’t a tunnel.
3. We’ll have a lot of work tomorrow.

The name of the book: Moby Dick
The author of the book: Herman Melville
Summary:

Captain Ahab hates Moby Dick--“the white devil”--because he lost a leg to the white whale in a fight. Now Ahab, the captain of a whaling ship, can only think of one thing. He has to find Moby Dick and kill him. Many of the other sailors on the ship don't know about their captain's plan. Ishmael is a young sailor and this is his first whaling job. He and his new friend, Queequeg, sail with Captain Ahab on this exciting and dangerous trip. Also on the ship are Starbuck, Srubb, and other whalers from different countries. He is prepared to sacrifice everything, including his life, the lives of his crew members, and even his ship to find and destroy his nemesis
Comments:
All of the members of the Pequot’s crew have biblical-sounding, improbable, or descriptive names, and the narrator deliberately avoids specifying the exact time of the events and some other similar details. These together suggest that the narrator—and not just Melville—are deliberately casting his tale in an epic and allegorical mode.
Digest:
①Words: sail rich death ocean dream die star sleep gold sky fight rope harpoon
②Sentences: 1. Will you watch our ship when I fight Moby Dick?
2. He sat high up in the sails and watched.
3. Moby Dick came to the top of the water.
