Hi, my name is Ethan King. I’m 14 years old and I love the game of soccer. In the summer of 2009, I went to northern Mozambique(Africa) with my dad to help repair water wells(井)in local villages. I took my soccer ball along. I thought I might be able to play with the local kids. When we arrived at the village of Ntette, I threw out my ball and soon, 50 kids were playing .Many of these kids had never had the chance to enjoy playing soccer with a real ball. For me, it’s no big deal to play soccer with a real ball. I do it all the time.

I’ve discovered that many kids in poor countries want to play soccer, but they can’t because they don’t have a ball. I have several soccer balls in my house. I thought that these kids would enjoy this soccer ball far more than me. So, I gave my ball to them.

As we prepared to leave, one of the boys brought the soccer ball back to me. I said to him, “No, this is yours. I gave it to you.” He laughed and cheered! I loved seeing that they had a real ball to play with.

Every kid who loves the game of soccer deserves(值得)to play. Every kid who loves the game of soccer deserves his or her own ball. And that’s why I started Charity Ball in 2010. It provides new soccer balls for kids in poor communities around the world.

1.How old is Ethen?-----__________.

A. fourteen　　 B. fifty

C. sixty　　 D. forty

2.When Ethan left Ntette,__________.

A. he made a soccer ball for the village boys

B. he gave his soccer ball to the village boys

C. one of the village boys gave him a handmade soccer ball

D. he gave the village boys some money to by soccer balls

3.What do we know about Charity Ball?

A. It collects old soccer balls

B. It trains kids who love soccer

C. It started when Ethan was 14 years old

D. It gives new soccer balls to kids in poor communities

4.We can learn from the passage that Ethan is ________.

A. kind　　 B. talented

C. brave　　 D. careful

Dear David,

My daughter will be five years old. She is happy, well-mannered, loving and pretty. She has attended a Montessori school since she was 16 months old and has made two friends. The three girls are always together, or talking with each other.

But recently the girls told my daughter that they would not play with her if she kept playing with the boy who was disliked by most of the class. My daughter always finds good things in others and insisted they play with him, too. Then one of the friends told my daughter she didn’t have straight hair and shouldn’t play with them. Then she started ignoring my daughter. My mother-in-law decided to iron my girl’s beautiful curly hair(卷发).

With her birthday coming, my child decided to invite her friends to her party. When I asked her why, she said because they were always together, but I know one of the girls will not attend her party.

I’m concerned about her. I feel lost, not knowing how to help my child.

Jenny

Dear Jenny,

It’s always painful to a mother when someone hurts her child. Your daughter’s friends weren’t nice to her, but little kids are still learning how to get along with others. As a result, young friendships are often fleeting, even changing from day to day. Your daughter seems to be remarkably loving, outgoing and mature(成熟的) beyond her years. Perhaps you need to be proud of the way she treats people.

Ironing your daughter’s hair won’t send your daughter or the other girls a good message. It implies that there is something wrong with the way she is. You have no choice but to let your daughter know that one of the girls won’t be attending her birthday party. If she seems upset, remind her that other friends will be there. My guess is that she will rise to the occasion.

Hope this helps.

David

1.What’s the mother’s problem?

A．Her daughter doesn’t respect other kids

B．Her daughter seems to be losing her friends

2.When the daughter was asked not to play with that boy, she probably ____.

A．thought her friends were right.

B．felt lucky to have such good friends.

C．thought her friends shouldn’t have said that.

D．realized her friends were not popular with others.

3.David used the underlined word“fleeting”to show that  _____.

A．kids value friendship B．young friendships don’t last long          C．young friendships are very important D．kids are good at dealing with others

4.In David’s opinion, ironing the daughter’s hair _____.

A．is the right thing to do                    B．will make her more popular.

C．will make her doubt the way she is.          D．will help her win back her friends.

While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.

Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith.

You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen.

“You is IN,” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. “She is active and mature (成熟的) because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies,　 to books on art,　 to movies. We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes.”

You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year.
