John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear David,
How time flies! It's been 3 months since I came to China. I'm having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I've completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I'd like to share some with you.
In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.
Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn't appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.
Lastly, I'd like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.
If you'd like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.
Best wishes!
yours,

On the first day tutoring students from low-income families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the cafeteria. One teacher explained that many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home, so school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was shocked. What’s more, she decided to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it,” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind-hearted strangers to donate（捐款） to a lunch account（账户） for a student in need at a nearby school.
About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Also, they can buy foods with more quality at lower prices; that is to say, those students’ families just pay for part of their food. When they don’t have the money on any given day, the students might accept a free meal, such as a cheese sandwich.
One smart feature of the app is that it is donated by people from different areas. Some are teachers and doctors, and some are bosses in big companies. To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation（推荐） from a school headmaster, and no one else has to know who you are.
“I want to make my platform an application that all users feel no shame in using,” says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district（地区） this fall.
1.Kapasi decided to build the app when she_____________ .
A.attended private school B.saw kids line up for free food
C.finished her school lunch D.learned some programming skills
2.What is Kapasi’s opinion towards the problems?
A.Wait for the adult to solve it. B.Solve it when you grow up.
C.Try to solve it right now. D.Ask a school teacher for help.
3.What help can some poor families get by using the app?
A.They can learn how to solve problems.
B.Their children can get free lunch.
C.They can get some money from the app.
D.Their children can learn some skills.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The app protects and shows respect for kids who are helped.
B.The app has worked well in all school districts since this fall.
C.People that give money will know who they are helping.
D.People can get a free meal if they know how to use the app.

Richard is an exchange student from the USA. He is teaching his friends at Rose Garden School how to play Softball. He is explaining the rules.
Richard: First, we need a bat, a ball and some bases.
Ben: What are bases?
Richard: They are flat squares that show you where to run. After you hit the ball, you have to run around the bases.
If you stand on a base, you are safe. If you are running to a base, and the other team touches the base with the ball, then you are out.
Jennifer: Oh, I see. How would I hit the ball?
Richard: Have you seen baseball on television?

In other countries, soccer is called football. In the USA, we also play a different game called football.
In this game, you throw the ball and you have to wear a helmet to play.

In 1883, an engineer named John Roebling got an idea to build a bridge between New York and Long Island. However, bridge-building experts around the world thought that it was impossible. It had never been done before.
After much discussion, he made his son Washington, a great engineer, believe that the bridge could be built.
The project started well, but a few months later, an accident took the life of John Roebling. Washington was badly hurt and he was not able to walk or talk. However, Washington never lost his heart. He still wanted to complete the bridge. But all he could do was to move one finger. So he decided to make the best use of it. By moving his finger, he slowly developed a way of communicating with his wife.
He touched his wife’s arm with his finger, “telling” her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same way to tell the engineers what to do. The project carried on again.
For 13 years, Washington tapped out (敲出) his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed.
Today the Brooklyn Bridge stands as a monument(纪念碑) to one man’s unbeatable spirit.
It is also a monument to engineers and their teamwork, and to their faith in a man who was considered crazy by half the world.
1.Why did the bridge-building experts think John’s idea was impossible?
A. Because the technology was poor then.
B. Because no one had done it before.
C. Because they didn’t accept new ideas.
D. Because they didn’t believe in him.
2.What happened a few months after the project started?
A. The bridge fell down.
B. The father lost his life.
C. The son lost all his fingers.
D. The son was lucky to be safe.
3.What is the right order of the following events?
a. An accident happened.
b. John wanted to build a bridge.
c. The bridge was completed 13 years later.
d. Washington agreed to help build the bridge.
e. Washington used his finger to communicate with his wife and the engineers.
A. d-b-a-e-c B. d-b-e-a-c C. b-c-a-d-e D. b-d-a-e-c
4.The Brooklyn Bridge was successfully built because of Washington’s ____________.
A. good luck B. love for his family
C. never-say-die spirit D. high skill in building bridges
