Teens reporter talked with Lin Dan, t he program director of the Sunshine in Your Heart Project at t he Red Cross Society of China.How will the earthquake affect the teenagers mentally?

The reason why I want to be a writer is that writing gives me the p ower to create worlds and people out of nothing. We can crea te a picture in a few minutes with our minds. We have the pow er to influence others, even people we’ve never met!I have always wondered if it is the same thing that drives me, as a writer, as what drives video game creators or directors. We are all creating something out of nothing. The thing that is so amazing about writers is that we create something out of t ools that don’t cost more than a dollar (a piece of paper and a pencil)．For writers it is all in our head. Our wonderful brain i s our tool.Some people have this simple way of writing that can sweep us off our feet. Those who have this gift often do not see the b eauty in it. It is sad really. Writing is such a basic element(元素)in our society that many take advantages of it and don’t re alize its greatness. It takes someone from the inside to unders tand and admire the art of putting words together to form a se ntence; it sounds so simple and yet there is so much more to i t than meets the eye.Being a writer is a wonderful thing—something that is gifted to all of us who have the ability to for m sentences on paper. Being a good writer or even great writ er is the hard part. Oh! And don’t even get me started on bein g a published writer.28．Why do most people think “I” to be strange when hearing “I want to be a writer” ?A．Because they consider writing as a difficulty.B．Because writing isn’t popular with the locals. C．Because writers are very crazy and strange. D．Because people can’t make money by writing.29．For the writer, what is the most important tool for writing? A．A pencil. B．Wonderful brain. C．A piece of paper. D．A computer.30．In which part of a website may the passage appear? A．Entertainment. B．Hobby. C．Life. D．Edu cation.31．Which is the best possible title of the passage? A．Being a writer B．A strange person C．A cheap career D．Our wonderful brainDWhile both Europe and the United States of America are cons idered the Western world, it’s good to know there are some dif ferences in culture. If you are considering moving to a Europe an country, you will find the information below helpful as you p lan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解，认为) time and space. For example, a house in the United State s that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, i n Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2，000 years old. However, perception of distance seems to be t he opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilometers a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This cou ld be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily p opulated. In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Eu rope.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe an d the United States. American automobiles usually have auto matic transmissions(自动变速器) while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器)．European automobiles are smaller and more roundshap ed, while American cars are larger and more squareshaped.T rucks and limousines(豪华轿车) are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, th ese types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller c ars due to parking_and_traffic_congestion．The view of education is another cultural difference between t he European countries and the United States. In America, par ents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universitie s in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are e xpected to attend college there.32．The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to__________．A．tell the differences between Europe and America B．advise people to travel to Europe and America C．introduce the topic of this passage to the readers D．persuade people to live in a European country 33．Which of the following shows the Americans’ perception of time?A．An ancient house has a history of 200 years.B．Europe has been at least 2，000 years old.C．A hundred kilometers is a long way to drive.D．It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometers. 34．The underlined phrase “parking and traffic congestion” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”．A．people like parking their cars on the roadB．the cars go through the parks now and thenC．it is easy to park and drive on the highwayD．parking is not easy and the traffic is heavy35．It can be concluded from the last paragraph that________．A．Americans are richer than EuropeansB．Americans work harder than EuropeansC．the children in Europe needn’t go to schoolD．it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Par agraph 1?A. Feel shy.B. Stay calm.C. Keep up.D. Feel upset.26. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______.A. problems cause troublesB. attitude is everythingC. challenges can be avoidedD. personalities are built on failures27. According to the last paragraph, when we’ re in trouble, we ______.A. can only depend on our parentsB. are not aloneC. should only believe ourselvesD. are not confident28. What’ s the writer’ s purpose to write the passage?A. To encourage.B. To compare.C. To prove.D. To explain.29. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Avoid ProblemsB. Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreCIt was simply laziness that led me to fall in love with a blackbird. I’d not got round to harvesting all my grapes, and as I watched them rot, I felt a pain at how terrible a gardener I’d become. Fruit left on the vine too long may harbour diseases. I’d look out at plenty of bunches slowly turning into one dark, weak mass and say, "Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow."Then I saw a blackbird settle on my outdoor table and fly to pluck (摘)a grape and return to the table to eat it. This task was repeated day after day.I don’t know why this took me by surprise. Blackbirds like all the fruits once they’re soft enough to eat. Still, I felt delighted and relieved.There are lists upon lists of plants that are good for birds, whether because they attract insects, or because they are rich in berries(浆果) or nuts. There is a theory that fruits that are similar in colour to our native types are more desirable to birds, so white fruit will not be as favoured as red or orange. However, anyone who has grown dogwood(梾木) will know that once those yellow leaves drop to expose deep red stems decorated with white berries, the birds begin to eat them. They are able to learn new tricks.If you don’t have spac e for bigger-berried trees, make attractive bird feeders in large pots that are no longer needed for summer bedding or vegetables. To give small birds some protection, tie together strong stems to form loose cages. Into these bring seed heads, using the stems to hold them in place. Sunflower heads, for example, can be put in. Position the pots close to the house, and you can watch them quietly from indoors.30.How did the author feel when he watched the grapes rot on the vine?A. Horrible.B. Guilty.C. Helpless.D. Surprised.31.What can be inferred about dogwood according to the text?A. It is a non-native plant.B. It bears hard nuts.C. The color of its fruit is red.D. Its fruit is delicious to eat.32.Why does the author suggest making loose cages with stems?A. To watch birds more easily.B. To protect some small birds.C. To stop stems growing wildly.D. To prevent stems taking up too much room.DAs far as children’s museums go, new and exciting exhib its are always on the list to keep kids entertained and intrigued. But how to keep the kids interacting while still dealing with real life issues and enabling them to step into the footsteps of those with an entirely different view from their own? Enter th e Israeli Children’s Museum in Holon. The museum offers a thoughtful display of rotating(旋转的) exhibits and is home to three permanent exhibits. The exhibits —Invitation to Silence, Dialogue with Time, and Dialogue in the Dark —are unlike most any other experiences you’ll find in any typical children’s museum.Invitation to Silence is an exhibit that enables participants to understand what it is like to live in the world of those who are hearing-impaired. The guides are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves and take participants on a 75-minute active journey, walking them through an experience of alternative communication, where non-spoken languages —"hearing with one’s eyes", sign languages and body languages are the only options.Dialogue with Time is a one-of-a-kind exhibit guided by those 70 years old and older. It helps visitors to have the concept of old age and aging, through an intergenerational dialogue of experiences and games so that they can learn what it is truly like to age in our society as a whole.Dialogue in the Dark is guided by the blind and those who are vision-impaired. The 75-minute tour is in complete darkness, tracking interpersonal and group dialogue settings that reassess the stereotypes(刻板印象) associated with being blind.All three exhibits offer children and adults valuable social lessons and a peek into worlds that are otherwise hard to explain. These exhibits can give participants new views, gratitude, and empathy for the disabled while also championing their efforts in the challenges of everyday life, by giving power and admiration to each group.33.The purpose of the text is mainly to _____.A. present unique exhibits on display for childrenB. talk about creative ways to make museums livelyC. attract visitors to a museum for students in HolonD. introduce a museum for visitors to experience disability34. How can visitors communicate with the guide in Invitation to Silence?A. By making a phone call.B. By using body languages.C. By talking in a low voice.D. By writing on a piece of paper.35.

AFor some travelers, a typical hotel room is a bit boring. Here a re the world’s several strangest hotels.The MirrorcubeThe Mirrorcube is hung on a tree trunk and covered in mirrors . It accommodates two people at a time, with a double bed, a small bathroom and a living room. Access to the room is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree. Hidden among the tre es, the mirrors provide a 360-degree view of the surroundings.ICEHOTELICEHOTEL is the world's largest hotel made from snow and ic e. Guests can sleep in a bed made of snow and ice, at temper atures around -5 ℃.The entire building melts and gets reconstructed every year. Each November, a team of architects rebuilds the rooms fro m several hundred tons of ice.

Tianzi Hotel3. What is unique to Tianzi Hotel?A. It has a long history.B. It is a 10-floor building.C. It represents good fortune.D. It is the largest image hotel.BGrowing up, I always hid my thumbs in my fists because of th eir unusual shape. Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D.

Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。
