AThis month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programs.Mariko Okada-JapanMy year a broad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.Carla Fonseca-BrazilI spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt embarrassed about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!Alvin Chen-Hong KongStudying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week-with lots of homework.I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day.

On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!Their story began in 2002, when Haixia, who was already blind in his left eye, lost his right one after an accident. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 am when Wenqi carried the sightless Haixia across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the treetop and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!21. Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?A. Haixia needed someone to help him.B. They both needed a way to make money.C. They wanted to improve the environment.D. They were required to do so by local officials.22.

Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?A. They are easy to get.B. They do not cost money.C. They can grow very quickly.D. They are preferred by animals.24. In Paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “W e stand on our own feet, so the fruits ofour work taste sweeter”, he means that_________.A. They hope to make the forest even betterB. The fruits from their trees are very sweetC. they are proud of themselves for not depending on othersD. they are able to do any difficult work25. What can we learn from this story?A. Never give up and you will succeed.B. We should help the disabled to work.C. Try your best when facing difficulties.D. We can achieve more with teamwork.CHave you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore（海滨）once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has something to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail（指甲）． When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.26. Which of the following would be a g ood example of using the phrase “once ina blue moon”?A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells joke once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.27. When does a blue moon happen in nature?A. When the moon has a blue color.B. When we cannot see the moon at all.C. When there are two full moons in one month.D. When we can only see a small part of the moon．28. Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent shape?A. The letter “O”.B. The letter “M”.C. The letter “H”.D. The letter “C”29. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?A. Once a year.B. Less than once a year.C. More than once a year.D. At least twice a year.30. What does the underlined part “This fact” in th e last paragraph refer to?A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape.C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. A blue moon has something to do with the shape of the moon.第二节：任务型阅读。
