Deep into the night, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson’s restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Tom. 1.perhaps he was a sea captain; maybe he had run away from wife; 2.. When they went to bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. After a long time, slowly and painfully, be began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the last four years, and he was going home.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife. I said, Martha, I understand if you can’t stay married to me. I said I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me. Get a new young man—she’s wonderful woman—and forget all about me. 3.Not for the three and a half years.”
“Last week, when I was sure freedom was coming through, I wrote to her. I told her that if she had a new young man , I would understand. 4.We used to live in this town, Brunswick ,and there’s great big oak tree just as you come in to the town. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and if she didn’t want me, forgot me, no handkerchief and I’d keep going on through.”
5.When they were 20 miles from Brunswick, the young man took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Tom stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con’s mask. Then it was 10 miles, and then five, and the bus became very quiet.
Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances, except Tom.
A.You know, I love my wife deeply.
B.But if she didn’t, if the would take me back, she should let me know.
C.The young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life;
D.Soon all the others were in it.
E.I told her she didn’t have to write to me, and she didn’t.
F.he could be an old soldier going home.
The HOPE IS A CAME—CHANGER PROJECT will deliver unbreakable soccer balls to kids who, all too often, see thing horrible, broken and not survive the simplest of circumstances. The project started taking form well before anyone knew where it would lead—which is to test the power of like-minded people working together to turn inspiration into action.
Four years ago Bobby was in Rwanda offering help to the people there and taking photos of a child soldier named Moise with his “soccer ball”,which was a pile of rubbish tied together with a string. This “ball” was the only thing Moise could call his own --- no family, no home, no place to go. Forced to fight in the Congo and having killed three people at the unbearably young age of seven, the boy’s spirit was broken. And Bobby knew, as he took one photo after the next, that he’d never forget him. In fact, he returned the following year to tell Moise he had stayed deep within his heart ---but he was gone.
I recently helped Bobby launch his new book The Power of the Invisible Sun which features a photo of Moise, his ball, and kids from war-torn areas around the world. All of his earnings go towards the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT for the kids he visited over the past decade. They caught the emotional landscape from heartbreak to joy, but share the undeniable longing for recovery and hope.
Bobby and I share the unchangeable belief that delivering hope is really a game-changer, especially to a child. We believe that each indestructible ball will come to represent a lasting symbol of hope. A light no matter how small---The Power of the Invisible Sun.
This holiday season, I ask you to think about whether you are doing enough to help someone else in the world. Or as Bobby likes to put it, consider “taking a concrete baby step”, which added together, can create transformational change. It’s my great hope that the HOPE IS A GAME-
CHANGER PROJECT will change the lives of children the world over --- one book, one ball at a time.

Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research — the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete.Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish.All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away.Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality(道德) or religion.
Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning.If the clone was free of genetic limitations, then the other clone would be as well.The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term.Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can’t get pregnant, to have children of their own.
Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ(s).It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side.Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle” of life.There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development — the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment.Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance.Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear, thus leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes, and chances are that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society.
Scientists haven’t 100% guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal.Thus, this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”.
Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally.We should rather try to look at all “shades” of it.I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans.Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”.I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Genetic limitations will be beneficial for some women.
B.A large number of genes will prevent us from developing.
C.First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists.
D.Forbidding cloning might limit the freedom of scientists.
2.What’s the author’s opinion on cloning?
A.It should be entirely banned.
B.It is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs.
C.It will take away the right to reproduce.
D.It should be used in creating life.
3.Where can you read this article?
A.In a story book. B.In a magazine.
C.In a science fiction. D.In a novel.

They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed.A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored (政府资助的) youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies.
“We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.
After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.
The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.
One form of protest(抗议) tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.
Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents.Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them.
“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the café, and sit and stare,” said Isabella Cault."There is usually not much conversation.You look for happiness.Sometimes you even find it.”
