     In the spring of 2013, Carly Zalenski's eyes were filled with tears as the dusty bus ran down a dirt road in southern Vietnam. The 14-year-old girl and her family had traveled by plane from Canton, Ohio, to Ho Chi Minh City and then by bus deep into the Mekong Delta. Now, as they approached the village, hundreds of cheering schoolchildren lined the entrance to the Hoa Lac School, a two-story concrete building that Carly had raised money for.

     Carly started helping others when she was eight, handing out Thanksgiving baskets at church to families in need. It was a snowy day, and she saw that one girl was wearing a pair of broken shoes and others didn't have warm coats. The next November, she went door-to-door asking for used coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, and then handed them out with the baskets.

     But Carly wanted to do more - she wanted to "change lives," she says. She remembered that her grandmother's Rotary club had, years earlier, raised money to build a school in Vietnam. That was it, she decided. She'd build a school, too.

     She put together a PowerPoint presentation on the people and culture of Vietnam. At 12, hardly able to see over the platform, she gave her first fund-raising speech. She spoke with enthusiasm" The kids in rural Vietnam don't have good schools, " she told a room of 200 Rotarians. "That's not fair. I want to raise money and improve the school condition to make their lives better. "

     In two years, Carly set off with her family across Ohio, visiting three or four Rotary clubs a week. "We traveled like crazy people to all these meetings," recalled her mother, Kris.

     Finally, Carly raised $ 50,000, which was matched by the Vietnam Children's Fund. At the donation ceremony in Hoa Lac, the school principal was impressed with the ninth grader. "How wonderful," he said through a translator, "that a girl wanted to do something for kids of her age so far away. "

Many people are aware of the beauty of a solar eclipse (日食), but are surprised to learn that lunar eclipses are often just as impressive. While total solar eclipse lasts only for a few minutes and can be seen only in a small area of a few kilometers, total lunar eclipse can last for several hours and can be seen over much of the planet. In fact, the beauty and stability of lunar eclipses make them a favorite of both amateur and professional photographers.

    Lunar eclipses generally occur two or three times a year, and are possible only when the Moon is full. When we see the Moon, we are actually seeing sunlight reflected off the surface of the Moon When the Earth is positioned in between the Moon and the Sun, however, the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and a lunar eclipse occurs.

     The type of lunar eclipse - total, partial, or penumbral (半影) - that occurs depends both on how much of the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow and through which part of the shadow it passes. A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's outer shadow. This type of eclipse is brief and frequently goes unobserved by all but astronomers. By contrast, total and partial eclipses occur when all or part, respectively, of the Moon passes through the umbra(本影) shadow of the Earth. These eclipses are quite easy to see and are widely observed.

     Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch. Solar radiation that occurs during an eclipse of the Sun can cause a form of burns of one's eyes known as eclipse blindness. In fact, the only way to safely view a solar eclipse is by using specially designed equipment. However, since the Moon's light is reflected sunlight, it is completely safe to watch a lunar eclipse without any special equipment, although a pair of binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon

1.The underlined word "stability " most probably means_______.

A. strength      B. position              C. steadiness           D. visibility

2.According to the passage, a partial lunar eclipse occurs________.

A. when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth

B. when all of the Moon passes through the Earth's umbra shadow

C. when only a part of the Moon passes through the Earth's outer shadow

D. when only a part of the Moon passes through the Earth's umbra shadow

3.The passage implies that penumbral eclipses are________.

A. longer-lasting than most solar eclipses

B. more common than partial or full lunar eclipse

C. the result of the shadow cast by the Moon onto the Earth

D. more difficult to observe than other types of lunar eclipse

4.According to the passage, it is safe to watch a lunar eclipse, unlike a solar eclipse, because ________.

A. moonlight is less strong than sunlight

B. a lunar eclipse is briefer than a solar eclipse

C. a lunar eclipse lasts much longer than a solar eclipse

D. special equipment can be employed to view a lunar eclipse

"Gangnam Style" by singer Psy from Korea, is a popular song, but its extraordinary global success is really the result of its music video, which is a great piece of genius. On September 22nd, Guinness World Records listed "Gangnam Style" as the most-liked video in the history of YouTube. It's been performed at West Point (West-Point Style), and Google's CEO, has done the "Gangnam Style" horse dance at the company's office in Seoul. Even Samsung is trying to make Psy the new model for the latest type of fridge.

     The song's global popularity is such that the vast majority of people who enjoy it don't speak Korean, and have no idea what it is about. That's fine --- part of what makes "Gangnam Style" so fun is, like international pop music, the difficulty in understanding it. When we sing along, "Hey, sexy lady", we don't really know what we're singing about.

     The joy of incomprehensibleness is familiar to anyone who loves pop music from elsewhere. Anthony Lane, in his 2010 review of the Eurovision Song Contest, Only Mr. God Knows Why, used "Eurovision English" as one of its chief pleasures. It's "a complex tongue, spoken nowhere else, which raises the heartfelt poetry (ʫ��) but absolute nonsense to a level of what sci-fi writers could only have dreamed. " In similar ways, "Gangnam Style" is just an over-the-top video where a fat man does a funny dance and sings repetitive words that don't make sense to most of us.

     But on the other, the magic of the song also lies in its funny dance, which reflects not just cultural morals specific to Korea, but cultural values easily recognizable to western viewers. This song's words may be in Korean, but its scenes are in clear American. The dance moves are simple enough to copy.

     Nonsense, in other words, forces us to let down our guards. It makes us relax, and asks us to let in all sorts of feelings from which, otherwise, we might distance ourselves. "Gangnam Style" happens to be so interesting because of its incomprehensibleness.

1.Some complex languages are used in pop music because _______.

A. singers regard it as one of the chief pleasures at the concert

B. they make the music hard to understand but poetic and attractive

C. the music can sound more pleasant and beautiful to the audience

D. people like listening to the music which makes special sense to them

2.What is true about the popularity of "Gangnam Style"?

A. It was considered as the most popular video on the Internet.

B. It makes people amused and removes their emotional guards.

C. Its dance only reflects cultural and morals specific to Korea.

D. Psy, its singer, has been the new model for Samsung         .

3.What does the underlined word "incomprehensibleness" mean in Paragraph 3?

A. Being interesting to listen to.       B. Being simple enough to copy.

C. Being complex and repetitive.       D. Being difficult to understand.

4.The text is mainly about ________.

A. how "Gangnam Style" becomes popular among the youths

B. why "Gangnam Style" is popular even if few people understand it

C. how Psy gains worldwide success through his talent and hard work

D. what emotions and cultural morals Psy wants to convey with his song

Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular, and unloved.

      My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: The teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn't do it- I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building.

     Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor's office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop.

      By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home.

     Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference? He was now a success.

     That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet, and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being.

     Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I've made new friends and reconnected with many from my past

     The anxiety isn't completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance.

1.The writer's anxiety attacks were mainly caused by         .

A. the high school which he attended        B. the teacher who asked him to walk

C. the writer himself who was fearful       D. the father who left in his childhood

2.The breakthrough of the writer's treatment came when________.

A. the mother took him to the doctor        B. the writer read a magazine article

C. the writer's pain finally stopped          D. the writer went to college

3.What did the writer do after following the plan?

A. He went to see therapists.               B. He returned to high school.

C. He contacted his old friends.            D. He didn't suffer any attacks.

4.The writer wrote this story to tell us________.

A. anxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment

B. we shouldn't keep ourselves away from the outside world

C. we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance

D. fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids
