From a young age, I've had a really deep connection with being outside. I've been skiing

since I was eight or nine years old. I' ve been on expeditions(探险)in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.

It was April, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier, both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche(大雪崩). The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up,out of the snowpack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.

I looked down into the bottom of the valley(峡谷). I could see trees that were 30m tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I' m going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m I thought the force of the Snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped (迸出)right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.

It took Jeremy and Xavier about20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片)

Across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky

Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don't know, maybe.But

I do know that it’s important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so use it wisely.

It is not always easy to discover yourself. From a young age, I had a strong sense of who I would become—but an accident changed everything.

To me, skating was more important than anything else in the world. Nothing else filled my heart with so much happiness. I spent 24 hours a week developing my skills. I had no social life or interests other than skating. But I got first place in nearly every competition.

Unluckily, during one competition last year, I fell and was badly hurt. The doctor told me that I couldn’t skate any more. The pain in my back was hard to bear and even basic daily tasks became difficult. My passion (激情) had been taken away. I lost heart and had no idea what I would become. After eight months of suffering, something had to change. Instead of sitting around and wasting my days, I began to work with local community service projects. By volunteering as a swimming teacher for kids, I got an idea of who I wanted to become. After a few months, I found a new interest. Little by little, I stepped out of the pain and rebuilt my confidence.

Sometimes, challenges (挑战) in life will get in our way. We can choose to stay behind or try to get past these challenges. My accident was a challenge that failed to stop me from reaching success.

A feral child is a child who, from a young age, has lived with animals in the wild. What makes wild animals adopt these children and raise them as their own is a mystery. Since feral children have often had no contact with humans for a long time, they may be more like wild animals than people. Their stories, although often upsetting can teach us how people learn and use language — and perhaps even what it means to be human.

In Uganda in 1991, a tribeswoman saw a naked boy living with a troop of wild monkeys in the jungle. The woman was shocked and quickly told the people in her village about the boy. When they tried to take him away from the monkeys, the frightened boy threw sticks at them and climbed up a tree to hide. The monkeys fought fiercely, trying to stop the tribesmen from taking him away, but they did not succeed.

After his "rescue", the boy was taken to Kamuzinda Chritan Orphanage, outside Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. He was identified as John Ssabunnya, a boy who had disappeared three years earlier after his mother was murdered and his father went missing. John was only two years old when he disappeared.

John couldn't speak when he arrived at the orphanage. It was obvious that he did not know how to act in a human way-- he knew only how to behave like a monkey. However, he soon began to talk and was found to have a beautiful singing voice.

John shot to fame at the age of fourteen, when he toured the UK with a children's choir（合唱队）. "His is a remarkable story. One day it could even be made into a film.” said tour organizer Hillary Cook.

1.The underlined word "had no contact with" in paragraph 1 is closest to________.

A.had no patience with B.had no communication with

C.had no quarrel with D.had no choice but stay with

2.What can we learn from Hillary Cook's words in the last paragraph?

A.John could not act like a human. B.John's experience is quite unusual.

C.John is like other boys in the choir. D.People saved John and protected him.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A.feral children are born with the talent to talk with animals

B.feral children are sure to be back to the human community

C.all feral children can be successful after living with humans

D.the study of feral children may help the research on language

4.The writer organizes the passage by_________.

A.using numbers B.showing opinions C.telling a story D.listing reasons
