Recalling my freshman year and first year of drama group, I remember the people I met, and how I soon felt like they all were family. One I greatly was Christy Hauser, mainly because of her unbelievable ambition to help people.
At Christmas I participated in a present-wrapping party for children who would otherwise not have gifts. Christy this and was so persuasive in motivating other students. She was only 15, but found time to help others, earn outstanding and manage the make-up department for our drama group.
The next year I was shocked to hear through Christy’s efforts, the drama department was going to try to $90, 000 for a former schoolmate named Robin who was suffering from cystic fibrosis(囊肿性纤维化). The most part of her decision to help Robin was that Christy had met her! At our first drama meeting Christy gave everyone a piece of paper and asked us to write to talk-show host Rosie to try to gain her ; Christy received over 100 letters, but that wasn’t . She told us we needed to keep writing. Christy put all the letters in envelopes, stamped them, and made sure they were sent.
Then one cold evening late in October, I gave one of my closest drama friends, Emily, a to see if she wanted to do something. I was surprised when she answered the phone crying. She that Christy Hauser had died in a car accident that evening. I had left rehearsal(排练)too early to hear about the . With the phone still to my ear, I stood still as I remembered all the miraculous she had organized.
The next morning I looked into those eyes around me and was comforted by the fact that despite losing a great person, Christy’s heart was too strong to ever truly stop giving.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
The world of journalism can be very exciting. Journalists are on the cutting edge of local and global events. Before you take a big step for becoming a journalist, please make sure you are aware the climate for newspaper journalists is especially tough right now.
Once you are sure that a journalism career is right for you, here’s what you need to do.
● Education comes first. Besides understanding how to write well, a degree in journalism, English, and communications are also beneficial to those wishing to pursue a career in journalism. In addition to helping you gain the necessary knowledge, many universities offer employment services to new graduates. Attending journalism school, also called J-school, or journalism college is an investment in your future.
● Pick a specialty (专业). Jobs in journalism vary a lot, so it is important to decide exactly what path you wish to take. For newspaper reporters, you must be flexible and able to think on your feet because stories are often fast-breaking. Deadlines are typically tight, so be prepared to write with speed and accuracy (正确). There are also broadcast journalists, investigative reporters, foreign reporters, sports journalists and so on, which require different skills.
● You’ve got to have the right stuff. No matter which branch of journalism interests you, there are a number of necessary qualities that are common to all. Journalists must have a “nose for news”. Additionally ,Good journalists must use high ethics (高尚的道德规范) at all times. At last, a fair attitude is required for almost all areas of journalism; these jobs require a neutral (中立的) reporting of facts rather than opinions.
● Think big, but start small. Although internships (实习) during your last two years of college equip you with much experience, it is highly unlikely that your first job as a journalist will be high-paying. However, getting a job at a community newspaper or local television station is a good start. Once you are working in the field, you’ll have the chance to prove yourself and actively seek advancement.
1. Why does the author think that attending journalism schools is an investment in your future? (No more than 14 words) (2 points)
2. How can a newspaper reporter deal with the problem of tight deadlines? (No more than 6 words) (2 points)
3.What necessary qualities must all journalists have? (No more than 11 words) (3 points)
4.What is the purpose of the passage? (No more than 10 words) (3 points)

What is critical thinking? Critical thinking is defined as thinking logically and developing an ability to ask questions or ask for evidence for a particular subject. Developing critical thinking skills in a child through the right critical thinking exercises is very important.
Critical thinking develops the ability of subjective analysis of a particular fact. Critical thinking is to evaluate the reason behind a particular fact. All possible viewpoints must be thought about before analyzing a fact, and this develops problem-solving skills in a child.
Here are some exercises you can use to encourage your child to think critically.
Quiz your child. Ask your child about daily activities that he does in the school. Quiz him about certain things that do not have a single correct answer. This will increase his ability to think about the things he’s just learned in class. Keep on telling your child simple information about nature, like the seasons when flowers bloom. You can either ask him questions or just explain to him in a casual way.
Recognize and classify. For critical thinking, your child must learn to recognize important information that is closely connected with the subject. Classification of things on a certain firm and logical basis of information is included in the critical thinking ability. Colorful toys or images can be included in teaching critical thinking. Ask your child to identify the names of the flowers, fruits and animals from a colorful chart.
Critical thinking exercises are not intended to make your child intelligent, but it is about making him successful in his decision-making ability and helping him make a successful career. Although thinking habits are cultivated(培养) in early childhood through exercises, they are indeed helpful for a lifetime.

Choose Drinks
On a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst. At home, at school, in the park or at the movies--you can find one almost anywhere.
Carbonated
You can see bubbles (泡沫) in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated(碳酸的). But be careful, carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer because it takes water out of your body. And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.
Fruit juice
There are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious(有营养的). Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of sugar in it. Many young people buy this kind because the advertisements are good. It is bad for your teeth and bones to drink lots of this.
Energy drinks
These kinds of drinks have caffeine and things that make people get excited in them. They are sometimes called “party drinks”. Doctors say that if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.
Bottled water
We have lots of different kinds of bottled water, such as mineral water, purified water and distilled water(蒸馏水). They are clean and easy to drink. But it is best not to drink very cold water. It may make your stomach feel bad.
Sports drinks
Most of these have funny names like “Scream(尖叫)” and “G-Vital(激活)”. They have lots of vitamins and minerals in them. After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.
But if you just spend your summer holiday sitting around watching TV, you won’t need them at all!
1.Which two types of drinks may make you overweight?
A. Fruit juice and bottled water.
B. Energy drinks and sports drinks.
C. Carbonated and energy drinks.
D. Carbonated and fruit juice.
2.Which one may lead to your heart disease?
A. Carbonated. B. Energy drinks.
C. Fruit juice. D. Sports drinks
3.After sports, you have sports drinks because______.
A. they can take away your thirst
B. they can put back minerals you’ve lost in sweat
C. they have funny names that sound very exciting
D. they have no sugar
4.The writer wrote this passage to______.
A. make the advertisements for soft drinks
B. warn us to keep away from soft drinks
C. tell us how to choose a good one from all kinds of drinks
D. teach us some useful ways of keeping healthy

Apparently, the most talked about TV series in China right now is Red Sorghum（红高粱）, currently broadcasting on four major networks. And here are a few reasons why you might want to tune in: 1) It’s adapted from the novel Red Sorghum Clan by Nobel Prize-winning author Mo Yan, which already had a renowned film adaptation in 1987; 2) it’s directed by Zheng Xiaolong, best known for helming Legend of Zhen Huan; 3) and it’s Zhou Xun’s first return to the small screen after more than ten years.
After watching almost one third of the whole series, I’m pretty sure the series doesn’t disappoint — and sometimes it’s even better than I expected. But can it have an enduring impact like the Legend of Zhen Huan, or even its film version? I’m a little skeptical.
It’s the same story of the unrest of rural China in the late 1920s and 30s. But if you’ve read the novel or watched Zhang Yimou’s film version, it’s easy to get confused early in the show. There’re quite a few newly added characters, such as Jiu’er’s first love and sister-in-law, and more storylines that you’re just not familiar with.
This doesn’t mean it’s a bad adaptation, though. Whereas the film focuses more on social and political dynamics to reflect the spirit of the novel, the TV series pays more attention to detail and reflects lesser explored aspects of the book. To some extent, it has no choice — a TV series requires more substance to fill in long hours with content. Meanwhile, it’s more accessible to a television audience.
The biggest surprise in Red Sorghum is undoubtedly Zhou Xun. Although she’s mostly known for making movies, Zhou has portrayed a couple of classic TV characters, such as Huang Rong and the young Princess Taiping. Obviously, her elegant pixie-like（古灵精怪的） features haven’t kept her from playing the role of the 19-year-old Jiu’er successfully. Not as natural as Gong Li’s portrayal, though, Zhou certainly delivers a powerful new voice through the character.
Mo’s novel conveys a strong and evocative tone. My concern, also my hope, is that the symbolism of red sorghum, the metaphor for change and loss in a particular time and place, can shine through.
