Benjamin Franklin only studied in school for two years. But he liked to read and write very much. Once he discussed a question with his friend in letters. His father found the letters and read them. He felt Ben did not express himself well. Nor did Ben make his meaning clear. He agreed that his father was right, From then on, he paid more attention to the style of his writing so that he could write better.

About that time he bought a copy of the British periodical(周刊) called The Spectator (《观察家》). He read it over and over. He thought the writing excellent, and wished, if possible, to write in the same style.

With this in mind, he studied some of the stories and made a note of the thought in each sentence. Then, a few days later, without looking at the magazine, he tried to write the stories. He tried to express each thought as fully as it had been expressed before. Then he compared his writing with the magazine. He found some of his faults in the compositions.

In this way he discovered he needed to know many more words. He felt that writing poetry would help him since that needed to use many different words which had the same meaning. So he turned some of the stories into poems; and after a time, he wrote them as stories again. He insisted on doing this for a long time.

He learned much from his efforts and went on to practise his writing. Then he became the first famous writer in American history.

It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

·Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

·Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You’ll need a good map, a compass(指南针), a raincoat, a cellphone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is not in getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野识途比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

1. Sitting beside the driver, you should _______.

A. direct the driver when necessary

B. look ahead to see where there’s a turn

C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

D. Keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

2. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A. To get information when in danger.

B. To be saved in case of an accident.

C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.

3. Orienteering activities can _______.

A. make people work fast                 B. help people stay healthy

C. help people organize other activities      D. make people get prepared for sports.

4. The text mainly talks about _____.

A. the fun of exploration                  B. what to bring for exploration

C. the way to use a map in exploration       D. how to prevent getting lost in exploration.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means —practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.

So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.

1. According to the passage, few people know that _____.

A. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time

B. when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again

C. a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things

D. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak

2.The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ____.

A. it is his own fault                   B. his parents are to blame

C. he is just unlucky                    D. his arms must be weak

3. According to the passage, we learn that all of us can ____.

A. become very strong                     B. become very clever

C. improve our memory by practicing       D. know how to improve our memory

Dear editor,

Several days before, my fellow college students and I visited the local Cincinnati Blind and Deaf School. We had a party with some of the disabled students there. We played games together and had a fun. I met a girl at the party. She can’t speak, or can she hear. We “talked ” with each other by making some gestures writing on each other’s hand. Soon we became good friends. When it was time for us to say goodbye , she wrote on my hand, “Please come here as more as possible.” Tears floated down my face. Many people are concerning about disabled people, and give money to them. But these disabled people may want communication with ordinary people too more than money .

Editor, I want to tell people this: “If you know any disabled people, don’t forget to visit them regularly. They need friend.”

Many thanks !

Charles Edwards
