Passage 1

How much do you know about your neighborhood? Can you recognize your neighbors’ faces? Teenagers from Live Oak in California, US would say yes. They took photos of their neighbors and put them on city walls.

The kids took part in an international photography experiment called the Inside Out Project. It calls on (号召) people around the world to take black and white photos to discover and share something about where they live. People can upload pictures to the project’s website. Large prints are then made and sent back to people to show in their communities.

In Live Oak, you see big pictures on the walls of an art studio (工作室) and a supermarket. Nicholas Gonzalez’s work covered most of one wall. The 13-year-old took a photo of an elderly Latino man.

“We call him ‘The Superman’,” said 13-year-old Casey Sustaitapaz. “Nicholas took that picture right outside the supermarket down the street called ‘Super’.”

“It’s been really great,” said Sustaitapaz. “We’ve gotten to learn a lot about our c ommunity and meet people we never met before.”

Dyana Aquilera, 13, a student at Mission Hill Middle School, learned about the project through her mom and wanted to take part.

“I really like being a part of something so big,” she said.

Greg Stein is the headmaster of Shoreline Middle School. He also attended the event and said he wanted to start a similar program at his school.

Passage 2

Dear Mr and Mrs Green,

Thank you for voicing your concerns (关心) about your daughter, Amelia Green, and the lunch menu at our school. As the schoolmaster of the school, I am always happy to hear any thoughts you might have about your d aughter’s educational experience.

You say in your letter that you do not believe that the cafeteria offers enough healthy options (选择). You also mention that you would like us to monitor what your daughter buys from the school cafeteria. Unfortunately, I do not believe the school can meet your demands.
