    I think: The two guards were not expecting Strike to start walking towards the door, so when he did begin walking they were caught by surprise (but remained holding his arms the entire time), and as they were still holding his arms they were accidentally stopping him from leaving. 'absurd' usually means 荒唐, but here it probably means something like 无意 Hope that helps!

    That's a tough question! The meanings of these three verbs are all very similar, but there are a couple of differences: 'to bloom' is usually only used for trees/flowers, and most commonly the phrase 'in bloom/blooming' is used (as a state): e.g. Hopefully the roses will bloom in May. e.g. The roses are in bloom, and they look lovely! OR The roses are blooming. 'to flower' can be used for flowers: e.g. The roses are beginning to flower. e.g. The roses are flowering. 'to blossom' can be used in exactly the same way as 'bloom' and 'in bloom/blooming' ('in blossom/blossoming') - but usually more about trees than flowers. e.g. The cherry trees are in blossom OR The cherry trees are blossoming It can also sometimes be used to describe people/things: e.g. Jane has been working hard at school and she is improving, she is really blossoming into an intelligent young lady. Hope that helps! If that was confusing or you have more questions, feel free to ask me, Jonny

    Reading

    I plan to read 20 (Here I would use the written form 'twenty', as it is in a paragraph of text - but both forms are correct!) books every year. since As of today, I have finished ('completed/achieved' would be better) this my goal of for this year.
    Reading is very important. From reading, we can get (see/discover) others experiences, opinions, methods ,and so on. Also we can expand our eye shot. (?? Horizons?)
    I think the most key important thing about reading is that you must read the right books, by this I mean the good (best) books. There are tens of thousands of books in the world, and also there are also many more books were that are published every day. Not all of them are useful. Only good the best books can give us edification, suggestion, training. The bad worst books may lead us to down the wrong path. Most of time, we wonder which books is are good or bad.
    The first step, I think, you should know is to find out which books are good and which are bad. If u you do not know, you can ask your teacher or your grand old man to introduce some good books for you. Reading world famous books also are a better choice is also effective.
    Hoping Let's hope we can all of us can get what we want from books.

    Because most English/American names come from many other different European languages, they do not follow any common rules, so it is very hard to tell! Often, if a name ends in a vowel, it is a girl's name (but not always!), for example: Alice/Alicia, Barbara, Claire, Danielle, Emma, Francine, Georgia... (all girl's names). And if it ends in a consonant, it is a boy's name: Andrew, Brian, Charles, David, Edward, Frederic, Gary... (all boy's names). However, there are many exceptions!: Anabel, Brittany, Carol, Frances, Sarah, Polly... (all girl's names) Steve, George, Luke... (all boy's names). So as a general rule, this can help - but there are many exceptions, so you should always check! Hope this helps :)

    In this context: 'Advanced' means 'of a higher level' - (the opposite of 'beginner'). It is used in many circumstances and just generally means 'good at something'. e.g. The man is very good at tennis; he is an advanced tennis player. 'Sophisticated' means 'of a higher cultural level, having good taste'... e.g. The woman likes to learn language, wine and music; she is sophisticated. Hope this helps!

    'Do you know anything about the Dynasties of China?' or 'What do you know about the Dynasties of China?' Both of these sentences mean the same thing.
