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 10- 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 to any place in the world on just a tour. This one was practical, really working with the sea turtles 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 project, 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 (点),” she said with a laugh. “I was not expecting the turtles to be that big.” The turtles are leatherback turtles, which are becoming extinct 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.

“It was an amazing experience,” 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.What did Pennington consider the trip to be?

A. It was a common tour to a foreign country.

B. It was a journey to practice what students learned.

C. It was a trip to do practical science activities.

D. It was to attract students’ interest in science.

2.From what Emily said on her turtle project, we know that _____.

A. she was afraid of walking on the beach at night

B. she didn’t dare to catch the powerful turtles

C. she got crazy at the sight of turtles at night

D. she had thought turtles were small animals

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Emily thought the trip being planned by the biology class would be fun.

B. Totally, 16 people went to Costa Rica for the 8-day trip in May.

C. Generally, it takes about 60 days to hatch little turtles.

D. The trip mainly aimed to get fun and rest.

Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband’s  employer's home．My friend，Arlene，was nervous，because the boss was very  21  with a fine home，and cars that  22  more than her house.
The boss was a generous  23  , and took them to the __24__ restaurants. Arlene knew she would  25  have the opportunity to go to such places again, so she was  26  herself greatly.                                                                               
They were about to 27  a good restaurant that evening when the boss stopped suddenly, looking __28__ at the road. Arlene wondered if she was supposed to __29__ him. There was nothing on the 30 except a penny.
The boss reached down and  31  the penny. He smiled, and then put it in his __32__as if he had found a great treasure. Why would a man like this pick up a single __33__? Why would he even take the time to __34__?
When they were in the restaurant she could  35  it no longer. She mentioned that her daughter had once had a coin  ___36__ , and asked if the penny had some value.
A __37__ crossed the man's face as he took the penny out of his pocket.
"Look at it," he said, "'In God We Trust'."
"In America, for those who trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin.__38__ I find a coin I see those words. They can be __39__ on every single American coin,but people never seem to 40  them! For a short time, at least, I treasure each one as if it were gold."

Because my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.
I had seen an agency advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 36 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as  37 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 38  quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office 39  me. The woman looked carefully at me 40 through her glasses, and then 41  me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather 42 ,She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 43  . I felt even more helpless, when she told me that it would be 44  to get a job without 45 .I wondered whether I ought to leave,  46  the telephone on her desk rang, I heard her say:“ 47  , I’ve got someone in the 48  at this very moment, who might 49  .” She wrote down a 50  , and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants  a 51  immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
“Oh yes,” said I — 52  having cooked for more than four in my life. I 53  her again and again, and rushed out to the 54  telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for.
I spent the next few hours 55  cook books.
