On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple 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?
1.The Haydens’ daughter rang her parents ________.
A. because she knew she had done something wrong
B. in order to give them her address
C. to say she was coming home soon
D. in order to comfort her worried parents
2.If you ring “Alive and Well”, ________.

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.

My daughter had a bullying(欺凌) problem a couple of years ago. She kept receiving rude text messages from kids at school. Dealing with school bullying wasn’t easy, but I finally ended it. When you realize things are serious, it is no time to be silent.
If your kids are also receiving such text messages, take them directly to the headmaster and show him. Describe to him how it is affecting your kids. Tell him you will not tolerate it and that you want him to put an end to it now.
School bullying is a dangerous and serious issue these days, and any good headmaster will take your charges seriously. He will probably address the issues with the parents. If they are crappy(糟糕的) parents, then they may do nothing to their child. You may have to repeat this process several times, but you need to keep a check on those text messages and don’t allow your child to delete them.
Now it is time to draw your child close and take care of him/her, because he/she needs it. My daughter did not like me being involved either, but you are the only person your kid can depend on to solve this problem, so do it and mean business. Always be polite, but straightforward. The headmaster and parents must know you mean business.
If repeated meetings with the headmaster (and parents, if he allows it) do not work, then I would consider hiring a lawyer. That will send the message loud and clear. When you are talking about financial loss, most parents will stand up and take notice and act to keep their kids under control!
I know a lawyer is a big expense and not something you do lightly, but when bad things like school bullying are happening to your children, you must act and act quickly.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tolerate” in Paragraph 2?
A. mind B. discuss C. stand D. affect
2.What does the author suggest about school bullying in Paragraph 4?
A. Children can deal with it themselves.
B. Not all bullying problems can be solved.
C. Parents should fully respect kids’ thoughts.
D. It’s necessary for parents to be involved in it.
3.What should parents do if the headmaster fails to solve the bullying problem?
A. Ask a lawyer for help. B. Put your child under your care.
C. Meet the bullies in person. D. Ask the parents of the bullies for money.
4.Why does the author write the text?
A. To seek help. B. To offer advice.
C. To ask for advice. D. To share his experience.
