I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I
27、could read in English.The response was amazing. People all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. Some posted me books from their home countries. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistans Ak Welsapar and Panamas Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished tran
28、slations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published in the UK, gett
29、ing English versions of stories was tricky.One by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear.

33、e adder（蝰蛇）is the only poisonous snake native to Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals.

35、ding high lands. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly,
36、 trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows the tall snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger.

If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot movevery rapidly and may
38、 attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten.
