On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple(夫妇) received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Haydens’ 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. “I’m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,” she said, “I love you.”
Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called “Alive and Well”. The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home.
Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child of making him return home.
Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home, so children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.
The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape recorded telephone messages and connect the address given. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial(拨) 5675339 and stop a parent’s worry: Is he dead or alive?

Quite a few years ago, as I celebrated my 25th birthday with a party, I was surprised to receive an unusual present. The gift-giver smiled widely and said loudly, “It’s a nice, strong plant, so even you can’t kill it.”
I was well known in my circle of friends as an “anti-gardener” — how was I going to care for this piece of greenery?
For four years the plant received little care. I felt guilty (内疚的) just looking at it!
As a non-gardener, my offers to look after friends’ houses were met with laughter: “We appreciate (感激) the offer but, really, we don’t want to come home to a dead garden!” It didn’t occur to (想到) them that I just had no interest in having a garden. It was a choice, not a failing.
Some time later my husband accepted a job in Belgium. Because I couldn’t throw away a gift, I decided to ask my neighbor to care for my plant.
Our lovely house in Belgium had a beautiful garden. Slowly gardening became a part of my daily life, teaching me to slow down and to be happy in the silence of the garden. It was with regret that I left that garden to return to Sydney some months later.
Back home life soon went back to normal. Then one day, it occurred to me that I could start my own little garden. So, I went to collect my unwanted plant from my neighbor. I took the plant home, watered it and watched as its leaves turned from a lifeless yellow to a rich green within weeks. Many years on, I still don’t know the name of my first plant, but I do know that as it grows, so do I. It symbolises a change in me when I stopped listening to the voices around me and started to believe in myself.
1.When the author received a plant as a birthday gift, she felt _____.
A. funny B. guilty C. excited D. displeased
2.What did the author’s friends think of her?
A. Her anti-gardening was a weakness.
B. She was bored with gardening.
C. She was a good housekeeper.
D. Her dead garden was ugly.
3.How did the author deal with the plant before moving away?
A. She threw it away.
B. She asked for help.
C. She left it in the house.
D. She gave it to a neighbor as a gift.
4.The author’s stay in Belgium made her _____.
A. miss her days back in Sydney
B. feel sorry for her first plant
C. fall in love with gardening
D. become strangely silent
5.What does the author want to tell us from her experience?
A. We should try to be perfect.
B. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
C. We should learn to make clear choices.
D. Don’t refuse something you’ve never tried.

When I was only 3 years old, my mother taught me to memorize and recite poems. She was my first teacher of the arts, and my father was the first to appreciate my performance. Even at that young age, I had a simple understanding of how art and culture affect us as human beings and how we can connect to each other through the arts, which shapes my life to this day.
When I was growing up, my parents supported my interest in taking acting classes and doing community theater. Their faith in me and the professional(专业的) training I was getting from my theater teachers gave me a sense of purpose and a sense of self-confidence. I learned what artistic achievement actually was and what hard work the business was. While many people see the rosy picture to our business, I was really learning what it would require for me to become a professional.
I became an actress, but arts education isn’t just about preparing our young people for a job in the arts. I recently talked to some of the kids attending theater education. Some of them want to work in theater, and some don’t. They are learning not only theater skills, but also about the world around them. They learn about discipline(纪律) and hard work and what’s required and what they have to do to bring themselves to the work. They learn how they can be of service in the world through the arts. They learn how to work with a team. By studying the arts, these students are open to worlds and lives that they might not have any other way of knowing about or any other way to connect with in their lives the way they are right now.
These young people are our future. We are passing the torch to them. And I think that’s one of the most important reasons why we need to foster(培养) the arts.
1.When the writer was 3 years old, she ________.
A. learned many kinds of arts B. did well in communication
C. recited poems to her father D. had a deep understanding of arts
2.What does the underlined word “rosy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Bright. B. Funny.
C. Terrible. D. Hopeless.
3.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. It was hard for the writer to start business.
B. It is not easy for one to succeed in arts field.
C. Parents’ faith is a must for one to be professional.
D. The writer’s self-confidence led to her artistic achievement.
4.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Attending theatre education does the kids much good.
B. Students studying the arts should travel around the world.
C. Discipline and hard work are not included in arts education.
D. Arts education can only prepare the youth for jobs in the arts.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A. Where to get arts education. B. When kids should learn arts.
C. How to improve arts education. D. Why arts education counts.
