The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. His father, a diplomat, moved the whole family from Iran back to Kabul in 1973.In the same year,his mother gave birth to his younger brother and Khaled’s childhood came to an end due to the coup in the country. In the light of unstability in Afghanistan,they eventually emigrated to California and have never gone back since then. In 2003, Khaled published his first book named “The Kite Runner”,impressing millions of readers. The book debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times’ bestseller list and has remained at the top of the list for more than 80 weeks. The Kite Runnner, which has been filmed,is considered to be a book people’re willing to share most all over the world. Born in a rich family ,Amir was the son of a prestigious local businessman.Amir had a sevant as well as close friend named Hassan who was the steward’s
son.The two boys shared a lot of things in common.They were both raised in the same household and neither of them had mothers.And most importantly,they were both fond of flying kites.But on the other hand,there were also some aspects in which they were totally different.Hassan was courageous and loyal while Amir was coward. Amir always wanted to get all his father’s love so that he became envious of his father’s kindness to Hassan.Amir’s selfishness led to Hassan’s rove in the foreign lands.Half year later,the war broke out ,Amir and his father were forced to leave for America.There,Amir became a well-known writer,completely forgetting what he had done to Hassan.It was a call from his father’s friend that changed Amir’s life. From the man,he knew a big secret about his father and the nearly forgotten friend Hassan.Hassan wasn’t the steward’s son and they had the same father.The man encouraged Amir to go back to his hometown,finding the orphan of Hassan and making up for what he had down.Eventully Amir ,together with his guiltiness ,returned to Afghanistan which was a hell controlled by the Taliban.At the end of the story,Amir found Hassan’s son at the risk of losing his life,taking him back to America and bringing him up. ”For you, a thousand times over,”the story ended with this word said by Amir to his nephew,leaving great imagination to the audience.
After I read the whole story,I was absolutely shocked by the friendship between the two boys.Hassan was so loyal to Amir that he even didn’t mind Amir’s harm and died for protecting Amir’s house.Maybe Amir was the most fortunate person in the world for he had such a perfect friend who was willing to do anything for him. I am ashamed of Amir’s cowardliness as well as admire Hassan’s loyalness.Personally speaking,the ending of the story is imperfect.Nevertheless,the transformation of Amir has left great impression on me.”For you,a thousand times over,”Amir tried his best to compensate for Hassan. Love,fear,guiltiness,salvation are all mixed in the novel which covers most of the important topics in the literature.So theret’s no wonder that the book has won too many awards and the write has become famous overnight. At last,I want to say,we should cherish what we have and appreciate those
who are always with together to lead an unregretful life.
Brother or Betrayer? -the Kite Runner I have spent half a month reading The Kite Runner,on the bestseller list as a paperback for 101 weeks. It is the first novel by Khaled Hosseini, who is an Afghan-born American novelist and physician.After graduating from college, he worked as a doctor in California. He has published three novels, most notably his 2003 debut The Kite Runner, all of which are at least partially set in Afghanistan and feature an Afghan as the protagonist. Following the success of The Kite Runner, he decided to stop practicing medicine and became a full-time writer. It tells a story between two boys. A rich boy Amir at the age of 12 and his servant Hasan are brotherly loved. Nevertheless, after a kite game, something miserable happens. Amir feels grievous and guilty for his cowardice and he cannot confront Hassan, using something contemptible to let Hassan and his father leave his home. Not long, Afghanistan breaks out a war, Amir and his father have to flee to America. After his grown-up, he cannot forgive what he had done to Hassan before. And to atone for himself, he returns his hometown, which is destroyed badly by the war. When he comes back, he is astonished by the information that Hassan is his brother and he and his wife have already died. Rahim requests him to rescue Sohrab, the son of Hassan. This time he fights for Sohrab and finally get Sohrab back and takes him to America. Because of many unexpected matters, Sohrab becomes silent and never smiled. Amir regards him as his own son and does everything for him. There are two conflicts roles in this novel, Amir and Hassan, Amir’s father and Ali. The relationship between Amir’s father and Ali is of great similarity with that of Amir and Hassan. Amir’s father is brother and betrayer for Ali while Amir is the same for Hassan. Ali was adopted by Amir’s grandfather the year Amir’s father was born. Naturally, the two boys become childhood playmates just like Amir and Hassan. Amir and Hassan are always told the mischief that his father and Ali used to play. Then after they grow up, Ali becomes the primary servant in the house, spending all his life on serving Amir’s father, until Amir betrays Hassan and they leave. By that time, they have been fully participated in each other’s life for more than forty years. They grow

新概念英语第二册第二十一课课后习题答案详解 Lesson 21 1. c根据课文第3-4行Last year, however, it came into use, 只有c. came into use recently 比较接近课文的实际内容，而其他3个选择都不符课文内容。 2. d根据课文第8行…but I am determined to stay here, 只有d. has refused to leave his house 与课文内容相符，其他3个选择都与事实不符。 3. c只有选c. can hear 才能使这个句子同前一句Passing planes can be heard night and day 的含义相同，只是语态不同。而其他3个选择a. can heard, b. can to hear, d. can be heard 都不符合语法，在意思上都讲不通。 4. d 只有d. possible 才能使句子同前一句It couldn't be used then 意思最接近。a. able (能)需要人作主语，本句的主语是it 形式主语;b. allowed(允许)不符合题目的意思，c. impossible(不可能的)与句子意思相反。 5. a 前面句子Over a hundred people must have been driven away 中的must 表示说话人的一种主观推测。b.

I think(我想，我认为) 表示推测，所以应该选a. 6. c 只有c. are some left 才能使这个句子比较接近前一句I am one of the few people left,因为few(少数几个)同some(一些)意思比较接近, a. are none left(一个没剩)不等于the few.b. is one left(剩下一个)也不等于the few;d. are a lot left(剩下很多)与the few 意思相差悬殊.所以选c.

A book review of The Kite Runner Class 1 马凌峰0131124025 “For you, a thousand times over.” This is the most famous sentence in the book The Kite Runner, and this is the reason why I want to read this book, because I think this sentence is really beautiful. And this is the first time for me to read a book written by an author from Afghanistan. By coincidence, this book is the Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini’s maiden work. The story is about two Afghani boys: Amir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy, and Hassan, a Hazara who is the son of Ali, Amir's father's servant. Although Hassan’s father was a servant, they were like brothers. They spent their days kite fighting in the hitherto peaceful city of Kabul. Hassan was a successful “kite runner” for Amir; he knew where the kite would land without watching it. Amir's father, a wealthy merchant Amir affectionately refers to as Baba, loves both boys, but is often critical of Amir, considering him weak and lacking in courage. Amir finds a kinder fatherly figure in Rahim Khan, Baba's closest friend, who understands him and supports his interest in writing. Assef, a notorious violent older boy, mocks Amir for socializing with a Hazara, which is, according to Assef, an inferior race whose members belong only in Hazarajat. One day, he prepares to attack Amir with brass knuckles, but Hassan defends Amir, threatening to shoot out
Lesson 21 Mad or not? 是不是疯了 Why do people think the writer is mad? Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right. 参考译文 飞机正在逐渐把我逼疯。我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。机场是许多年前建的，但由于某种原因当时未能启用。然而去年机场开始使用了。有100多人肯定是被噪音逼得已经弃家远去，我是少数留下来的人中的一个。有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒。他们曾向我提供一大笔钱让我搬走，但我决定留在这儿。大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。 【New words and expressions】（4） mad adj. 发疯的 be mad 发疯，发狂（强调状态） go mad 发疯，发狂（强调转变） drive sb mad 逼疯 /send sb mad be mad about sth 对…疯狂的，狂热的 /be mad on sth be mad on football 对足球狂热 be mad on pop music be mad on jazz be mad about/on sth /be crazy about… 对…着迷 go mad 发疯，发狂 /go crazy

英文名著精讲:The Kite Runner 追风筝的人(7) 12岁的阿富汗富家少爷阿米尔与仆人哈桑情同手足。然而，在一场风筝比赛后，发生了一件悲惨不堪的事，阿米尔为自己的懦弱感到自责和痛苦，逼走了哈桑，不久，自己也跟随父亲逃往美国。 成年后的阿米尔始终无法原谅自己当年对哈桑的背叛。为了赎罪，阿米尔再度踏上暌违二十多年的故乡，希望能为不幸的好友尽最后一点心力，却发现一个惊天谎言，儿时的噩梦再度重演，阿米尔该如何抉择？小说如此残忍而又美丽，作者以温暖细腻的笔法勾勒人性的本质与救赎，读来令人荡气回肠。 Lore has it my father once wrestled a black bear in Baluchistan with his bare hands. If the story had been about anyone else, it would have been dismissed as "laaf", that Afghan tendency to exaggerate--sadly, almost a national affliction; if someone bragged that his son was a doctor, chances were the kid had once passed a biology test in high school. But no one ever doubted the veracity of any story about Baba. And if they did, well, Baba did have those three parallel scars coursing a jagged path down his back. I have imagined Baba's wrestling match countless times, even dreamed about it. And in those dreams, I can never tell Baba from the bear. It was Rahim Khan who first referred to him as what eventually became Baba's famous nickname, "Toophan agha", or "Mr. Hurricane."It was an apt enough nickname. My father was a force of nature, a towering Pashtun specimen with a thick beard, a wayward crop of curly brown hair as unruly as the man himself, hands that looked capable of uprooting a willow tree, and a black glare that would "drop the devil to his knees begging for mercy,?as Rahim Khan used to say. At parties, when all six-foot-five of him thundered into the room, attention shifted to him like sunflowers turning to the sun. Baba was impossible to ignore, even in his sleep. I used to bury cotton wisps in my ears, pull the blanket over my head, and still the sounds of Baba's snoring—so much like a growling truck engine—penetrated the walls. And my room was across the hall from Baba's bedroom. How my mother ever managed to sleep in the same room as him is a mystery to me. It's on the long list of things I would have asked my mother if I had ever met her. In the late 1960s, when I was five or six, Baba decided to build an orphanage. I heard the story through Rahim Khan. He told me Baba had drawn the blueprints himself despite the fact that he'd had no architectural experience at all. Skeptics had urged him to stop his foolishness and hire an architect. Of course, Baba refused, and everyone shook their heads in
《The Kite Runner》追风筝的人--------------------------------美句摘抄 1.I can still see Hassan up on that tree, sunlight flickering through the leaves on his almost perfectly round face, a face like a Chinese doll chiseled from hardwood: his flat, broad nose and slanting, narrow eyes like bamboo leaves, eyes that looked, depending on the light, gold, green even sapphire 翻译：我依然能记得哈桑坐在树上的样子，阳光穿过叶子，照着他那浑圆的脸庞。他的脸很像木头刻成的中国娃娃，鼻子大而扁平，双眼眯斜如同竹叶，在不同光线下会显现出金色、绿色，甚至是宝石蓝。 E.g.: A shadow of disquiet flickering over his face. 2.Never told that the mirror, like shooting walnuts at the neighbor's dog, was always my idea. 翻译：从来不提镜子、用胡桃射狗其实都是我的鬼主意。E.g.:His secret died with him, for he never told anyone. 3.We would sit across from each other on a pair of high
