    When I was five or six years oldI remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself“When I grow up, when I can get richI will save kids all over the world.”

At 17I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity( 慈善) organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病), and whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to my grandmother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2012, and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF). We're all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.

People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don't even have to be college educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in classthe kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a decision to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say. “If you've got a dollar, there's plenty to share.”

1.What did the author want to do at a young age?

A. Watch TV. B. Grow up quickly.

C. Become wealthy. D. Help other children.

2.What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?

A. A six-year-old kid's request.

B. Her grandmother's death of cancer.

C. Many volunteers' inspiration.

D. Other organizations' encouragement.

3.What does the underlined word“one”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A chance. B. A task.

C. A life. D. An organization.

4.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?

A. Do little things to help those around them.

B. Work hard to get a college education.

C. Challenge their friends to offer help.

D. Do charity work whoever you are.

 

1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。小时候在电视中看到世界的一些地方遭受困苦的孩子时,“我”便下定决心长大后要帮助他们;十八岁时,“我”创立了自己的第一个慈善组织。慈善无关贫富,无关名誉,无关教育背景;从帮助身边的人做起,你将成就你的事业。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的第二句I would say to myself,‘When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.’并结合第一段内容可知,小时候在电视中看到受苦的孩子,作者想要在长大后帮助他们,故选D。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中的to my grandmother,who lost her battle with cancer in 2012, and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF)可知,在2012年,祖母不敌癌症病魔而去世,这促使作者成立了克拉拉·莱昂内尔基金会(CLF)。据此可知,是作者的祖母患癌症去世这件事促使了作者成立并发展了克拉拉·莱昂内尔基金会(CLF),故选B。 3.代词指代题。根据第二段的最后一句“And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one”可知,在克拉拉·莱昂内尔基金会中,我们的任务是尽可能影响更多的生命,但这个任务从影响一个人的生命开始。根据该句中的“as many lives as possible”,结合“but...just one”可知,画线词one指代“a life”,故选C。 4.推理判断题。根据第三段中的第五句“But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood”可知,慈善帮助可以从帮助你的邻居开始,帮助现在在你身边的人开始,帮助上课时坐在你旁边的人开始,帮助你家附近街区上的小孩开始。据此可以判断,作者建议慈善从帮助身边的人做起,故选A。

    Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.

So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleepingfeeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.

To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently!

There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.

1.From the passage we know that our dreams_____.

A. are imagination of our daily life

B. are man’s curious look into the future

C. have nothing to do with our feelings

D. are to some degree connected with our feelings

2.In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates(暗示)that______.

A. you are in a state of being cold

B. you are in a state of being tired

C. you are in a state of hunger

D. you should have had your dinner that day

3.Older children often dream of examinations probably because_______.

A. they are interested in exams

B. they are often worried about their studies

C. they hope for better life

D. they show much interest in their studies

4.Some scientists’ explanation of dreams _______.

B. gives an exact description of our life

C. provides us with information of dreams

D. is of no use for us

    When my family moved to the United States from Colombia, I was 9 years old and knew little about English. As time passed, teachers finally knew all of their students and slowly everyone began to head inside, except for me. No one called out my name, and no one seemed to know I existed. I spent the next month in my new classroom quietly. I felt a wave of fear, loneliness and sadness came over me.

It turned out the school administration never cared that I didn't speak English, but something else was teaching me English. Every morning when my aunt drove me to school and picked me up, she always had 106.7 Light FM on. It was this station that introduced my young ears to the English sounds of R&B, soul, jazz and much more.

Because of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I learned the difference between "witch" and "which". While watching the TV show South Park, I was attracted by the funny characters. I related "You bastards!” to anger and saved it in my mental word bank. In fact, thanks to pop culture, the world of English became not so hard to me while it was being turned down at school.

I also learned how to express my emotions thanks to pop culture. One day at school, we were taking a math quiz and the whole class was quiet. Suddenly, the tip of my pencil broke and I yelled, “You bastards!" Everyone held their breath in surprise and I laughed to myself because something at that moment told me I had just learned my first bad word in English.

Four months passed before the school placed me into an ESL program. By this time, I was speaking broken English and making myself understood. Finally, I learned how to speak and write English at a more advanced level, and I owe it all to pop culture.

1.Why did the author feel sad when she moved to the US?

A. She missed her hometown. B. She was ignored at school

C. She was blamed for poor grades. D. She hated learning a new language.

2.How did the author first learn English?

A. By talking with her aunt. B. By working in radio stations.

C. By listening to English songs. D. By making friends with her classmates.

3.How did the author feel after realizing she yelled “You bastards!”?

A. Happy. B. Annoyed.

C. Surprised. D. Nervous.

4.What can be the best title for this passage?

A. My life experiences in the U.S B. How I fell in love with music

C. Pop culture taught me English D. How I overcame learning difficulties

Four things that you can’t miss in Macao

Go Bungee Jumping at the Macao Tower

The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world’s 10th highest tower, with kinds of activities, such as eating and entertainment. One of the activities is the bungee jump. The Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go!

Enjoy a traditional Portuguese dinner

Macao was once colonized (殖民) by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture has deeply affected Macao.
