I graduated in 2004 and moved to Israel, making a career as an English teacher. I am always looking for interesting projects to get my students more inspired to learn the language. Through Facebook, I saw that Kirstin, a friend of mine, was teaching at a school in an East African country. I contacted Kirstin and asked her if she would like to do a letter exchange between my students in Jerusalem and her students in Tanzania.
It took a while to wait for Kirstin’s answer because Internet access is not easy to come in the countryside of Tanzania, but when she finally was able to connect, she responded with a huge yes.
Two months later, a package arrived. The students gathered around my table in class, and we went over the letters together. “My name is Nelson,” one letter read. “I am 13 years old. I live in Njombe, Tanzania. I like to play ball, to ride a bike, and to read books.” Below the handwritten letter was a colorful drawing of a boy wearing traditional Tanzanian clothing.
My students were excited. “This is so cool! What a great project,” shouted one of my students, Hadas. This was followed by a group of students asking if we could travel to Tanzania to meet their new friends. One student, Nir, suggested maybe they could simply become friends on Facebook instead. “The kids don’t have Facebook accounts. And there’s very limited Internet access in their area of Tanzania, I explained to them.
It was hard for my students to imagine that there were places in the world where teens did not have online social networking systems.
The pen pal project gave my students the chance to not only practice their English, but to also learn about other areas in our world.
1.Why did the author get in touch with Kirstin?
A.To get to know East Africa.
B.To learn English online from her.
C.To let two classes write to each other.
D.To ask her for advice about teaching English.
2.How did Kirstin react to the author’s request?
A.She turned it down. B.She accepted it willingly.
C.She replied immediately. D.She never showed up online.
3.What was the attitude of the author’s students toward the project?
A.Disappointed. B.Uncaring.
C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.
4.What is the best title for this text?
A.Two Heads Are Better Than One
B.A friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed
C.How Writing Letters Improves People’s Relationships
D.How A Class Pen Pal Project Connected Two Continents

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only(要是……就好了)”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
1.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
2.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.
A.take up B.stay away
C.run out of D.give up
3.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _______.
A.keep her appointment with the eye doctor
B.meet her father who was already an old man
C.join in the holiday celebration of the company
D.finish her work before the deadline approached
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Peace of Mind B.The Most Useful Rule
C.The Two Saddest Words D.The Emotional Well-being
