    Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!
    The first day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting(铭记) upon my mind the outward evidences of the beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that I could catch a vision of the eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual's consciousness of the conflicts which life develops.
    And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs--the serious, clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.
    On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.
    In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate (使陶醉) my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
    When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness.
    In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!

    new “good,”  “amazing” is the new “OK, ” and “huge” is the new “big.”
    I was in a restaurant in Washington D.C.last weekend and every question I asked was answered with exaggeration.
    Me：How is the salmon?
    Sever：Fantastic!
    Me：Does it come with rice?
    Sever：Absolutely!
    Would a “good” and a “yes” have been enough? Of course!
    My father is an average-sized man.He hasn’t gained weight or height for the past 30 years. Therefore, his size remains the same.However，in the same amount of time，his T-shirt size has gone from small to medium to large to extra large.
    The reason for the exaggerated word is clear：we are bored with our lives. We want the next
    —next thing now.Immediately!
    And we also want others to think that we still care，that we can still be delighted，that we know that everything is just great.Even when deep inside we know it can’t be.Everything can’t be great.
    I’m not a scientist，so many methods of proof leave little to be desired，or a lot to be desired，or an immensity(无限).   
    Listen to the voices around you.Listen to your own voices.There is nothing on the radio that is good or bad，weather is either beautiful or horrible.
    Listen，the next time when someone asks you something and you agree，because when you
    could simply say “yes”, instead you will say “absolutely’’ or “without doubt ” or “Oh，yeah，unquestionably ---- absolutely without doubt."
    Have people forgotten what it is like to be OK? Simply OK with what they have and who they are? If everything is outstanding，if everything is the most amazing thing ever，is anything ever amazing at all?

    If you have ever been discouraged because of failure，please read on. For often, achieving
    what you set out to do is not the important thing.
    Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
    "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors.
    "We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.
    The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders,  worms and insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors. Then he said quietly and confidently，Even if we don’t dig all he way through the earth, look at what we found along he way!”
    Their goal was far too great, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in he direction we have chosen; In other words, to set us to digging! But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every love will last. Not every attempt will be completed. Not every dream will be realized.
    But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say，“Yes, but look at what I found along he way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tired to do something!"
    It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in he journey, in he end，that truly matters.

    When Emily Beardmore first heard that a trip was being planned by the biology class at Windsor High School, she thought about how much fun it would be.
    “I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment,” the 17-year-old girl said.
    A few months later, Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates, along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May.
    “It was not just a tour,” said Pennington, who organized the trip. “You can go any place in the world on just a tour. This one was really working with the sea turtles (海龟) and practicing conservation(保护). It just seemed like the perfect science field trip for kids who think they want to get into science to see what it's really like to be out in the field and enjoy themselves.”
    Emily said her time on the turtle program, which was the focus of the trip, was “crazy.” “We were walking on the beach at night and you can’t see anything—just see a big black dot.” She said with a laugh. “I was not expecting the turtles to be that big.” The turtles are leatherback turtles, which are becoming extinct (灭绝) because their eggs are used as food.
    “When they would move their legs while laying their eggs they were really hard to control because they were a lot more powerful than you would imagine,” Emily said.
    Once the eggs were collected, the students took them back to a hatchery(孵化场) and dug holes to copy the hole the mother turtle had made and then buried the eggs for the 60 days needed to hatch.
    “The experience was so cool,” Emily said. “You go to another country to see what their culture is like and learn what their everyday lives are like. It made me really want to help out my mom a lot more than I do, and value what I have.”

    1. 1.

      What did Pennington consider the trip to be?

      1. A.
        It was a common tour to a foreign country
      2. B.
        It was a journey to practice what students learned
      3. C.
        It was to attract students’ interest in science
      4. D.
        It was a trip to do practical science activities
    2. 2.

      From what Emily said on her turtle program, we know that     

      1. A.
        she was afraid of walking on the beach at night
      2. B.
        she didn’t dare to catch the powerful turtles
      3. C.
        she had thought turtles were small animals
      4. D.
        she got crazy at the sight of turtles at night
    3. 3.

      What did Emily learn from her experience?

      1. A.
        She learned to be grateful to her teachers
      2. B.
        She understood the importance of what she had
      3. C.
        She realized the beauty of foreign culture

    For most students, school is over and summer fun is here. Even kids who are going to summer school don't need to be cooped up indoors during these bright sunny days. Why? Thanks to technology, many kids now have the option of attending "virtual" summer schools online.
    These "virtual" classes are not new. Many colleges and universities offer online courses where the students never meet; they correspond with their teachers and classmates on the web. Even some traditional schools add to daily classes with internet-based assignments and feedback.
    There are a lot of benefits to online schooling, and that's why public schools have started participating in this non-traditional type of education. Instead of students riding the bus, going to class, eating lunch at school, and going home in the early afternoon, they can now log on（登录）at any time of day or night and learn. This flexible online option requires just as much work and participation as normal summer school. However, the timing is different.
    Online summer school is not for all students, just like it isn’t for all adults. The student needs to be an excellent reader in order to obtain as much information as possible from the lectures. In addition, students must understand computers and be self motivated（激发）in order to complete the class successfully.
    If the students meet these requirements, then online summer school has many advantages. Written lectures can be read and reread until the student understands them. The students can email each other and the teacher if they need help. Students who participate in online summer school often earn higher grades because the teachers can answer more questions without slowing down the entire class progress. And because of this new technology, summer school students can still go to the beach, travel around the world, and take family vacations!

    1. 1.

      Online schooling has the following advantages and benefits EXCEPT ____. 

      1. A.
        Students needn’t have as much work or participation as in traditional schools.
      2. B.
        Students don’t have to go to school in crowded buses.
      3. C.
        Students can have more time to understand the lessons.
      4. D.
        Teachers and students have more time to arrange their own things flexibly.
    2. 2.

      What does the underlined word “option” probably mean? 

      1. A.
        chance of expressing opinion
      2. B.
        chance of expressing wishes
      3. C.
        right of demanding
      4. D.
        right of choosing
    3. 3.

      Online summer school is not suitable for ____.  

      1. A.
        adults or children who are too old
      2. B.
        students who are poor in reading
      3. C.
        those who don’t master good computer technology

    I stepped into my hotel room to a pleasant surprise. Lots of room surrounded an inviting king-size bed, with armchairs nearby resting against sliding glass doors that opened onto a private yard. A small dining table sat next to a kitchen with a refrigerator and coffee machine. "Wow," I thought to myself. "Nice place."
    I love hotels. I love to enter a clean room, hang my clothes and gaze out the window, walk out in the morning and when I return, someone else will have made the bed. I like in-room dining and the way they greet you so professionally. "Nice to have you with us again, Mr. Goldsborough." Very cool.
    The problem is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family, even though Linus and Camille, at ages 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the best night's sleep at home.
    I'm deeply troubled by the number of parents who wake up too late with the realization:
    "My children grew up too fast. In the busy career and corporate rat race（剧烈竞争）, I missed their childhood.” What they fail to say but too often think causes me even more pain: "...and I barely even know them."
    A hundred years from now, no one will remember the size of your bank account, the car you drove or the size of your house. The world might differ greatly however, based on your impact in the life of a small child. If you pay attention to your significant others, make the choice to put them first.
    Think of one specific action that you can take, and take it. Then think of another one and take that, too. Challenge yourself to find new ways to express your appreciation and love on a daily basis. It will pay off ten-fold（十倍）at home.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A line of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes marched across the South on Friday, peeling away roofs, overturning cars and killing at least 11 people in Tennessee, officials said.
    It was the second wave of violent weather to hit the state in less than a week. Last weekend, tornadoes killed 24 people in the western part of the state and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and buildings.
    The storms crossed an area from northern Mississippi to northern Virginia as they moved to the northeast late Friday after developing from a low-pressure system in the central Plains.
    The Nashville suburbs were the hardest hit, with at least eight deaths happening northeast of the city. Three more people were killed in a rural area about 65 miles southeast of Nashville.
    Tornadoes were also reported in some other places. The storms pulled up trees, knocked down power lines and damaged buildings. What’s worse, phone lines and most businesses were out of service. Hospitals admitted at least 60 people with storm-related injuries and transferred at least nine badly injured patients to Nashville hospitals.

    Child labor — the employment of children in industry, often against their will — has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined（limited）to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.
    Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.
    The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision（监督）of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives—childhood.

    Do’s and Don’ts in Whale(鲸)Watching
    The Department of  Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait,where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只)operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.
    ● Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.
    ● Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.
    ● Keep noise levels down-no horns, whistles or racing of engines.
    ● Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.
    ● Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.
    ● Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.
    ● Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.
    ● Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales.
    ● When whales are travelling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.
    ● Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.
    ● If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.
