In one hand was a plastic phone and in theother another toy. I listened as she was speaking to her make –believe(假装的)little friend. And I’ll never forget the words she said.She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should. "I saw her baby doll well dressed in the corner. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.My daug hter continued her"conversation", as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.”.

A world of childrenCLizzie’s diaryDay3: Tuesday December 2We pla nned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctic(南极洲）is one of the windiest places on the earth.sometimes you can't fly at all.we had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we leave that day. People had to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots waited for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 am and we took off at 10:30 am .But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance that we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.Day4: Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today,I could understand why everybody who came here fell in love with the place, It was really beautiful.We were staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It was out minus 20℃today, which for me was very cold, but the regular(常客)here were often seen walking around in T shirts!Day 5, Thursday December 4I woke up on another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I was told that it was a bit colder today, about minus 50℃, but it was not very windy. Those of us who were new to the base had to do a special training course before we were allowed to leave the base for other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7: Saturday December 6There was no cloud in the sky and it was warm enough to sit outside in a jacket.The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day.At first I thought I was going mad. I stepped outside in the morning and thought “I’m sure that big mountain o f ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the seat ice is always moving slowly! 8, Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on_____________________.A.

What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that________________.A people walked around in T-shirtB there was a special training courseC the weather was sometimes warmD the scenery changed every dayDI remember a time when I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin, my legs are very white. In the UK this is not a fashioned look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin. the better the look.As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed."They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot f money is spent on them”.It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.12. What do most British women prefer to do for their skin?A. Cover it with whitening cream.B. Protect it from sunlight.C. Get it sunburnedD. Keep it wet13.

People want to own more grass.15.What can be learned from the text?A Skirts are always beautiful for girls.B.British women learn little about China.C .We should value what we have.D.Western girls are always misunderstood by Chinese.阅读理解十一A篇.
