“Oh, honey,” I said. “I don’t think you’ll break 43  arm.”

“But I could, couldn’t I?”

“Yes,” I 44  and found myself struggling for the right thing to say. At times like this, I 45 I had someone who might help me find the right words to make my girl’s problems disappear. But after a painful 46  , I’d decided to remain single.

“ I don’t want to ride,” she said and got off her bike.

“ You know, honey,” I said. “ Almost everything you do comes with 47  . You could break your arm jumping rope. You 48 break your arm at gymnastics. Do you want to stop going to gymnastics?”

“No,” she said. And with a 49  spirit, she agreed to try it again. I held on to her bike until she found the 50 to say, “Let’s go!” I spent the rest of the afternoon watching a brave little girl overcome a 51.

“It’s nothing,” I told her.

“What grandma wants is for some guy to break my 56  again!” I lost control.

She was 57  for several minutes. Then she said something 58me to think about. “So I think love isn’t like a broken arm.”

Unable to answer, we walked in silence. Later I did what my brave girl did that afternoon. I 59 to meet Steve.

Steve was the man for me. We married soon. It turned out mother and my daughter were 60.

There is no other five-year –old like him. He has a potato-shaped head , thick eyebrows and a voice that is not easily forgotten. He is not evil, but trouble follows him wherever he goes.

Crayon Shinchan（蜡笔小新）enjoys great popularity in China. He has many fans in Hong Kong , Taiwan and on the mainland. And he is one of the hottest cartoon characters in his home country, Japan.

But, the trouble-maker’s show was ranked the No. 1 most unwanted cartoon program by Japan’s Parents’ Association on April 18.

More than half the parents who took part in the study thought Shinchan was a negative role model for children. They believed his actions and speech were adult in nature and not suitable for kids.

Many parents and education experts in China agree with them. Shinchan, they say, is really offensive. He looks out for pretty ladies on the street; at the bookstore he reads magazines full of sexy women; he pretends to be kidnapped by his teacher when he sees a police car; and he raises his mum’s skirt and shouts out the color of her underpants if she doesn’t buy him what he wants.

“Crayon Shimchan is full of dirty humor. The boy shows some terrible adult mentality(心态),which doesn’t match his age,” said Pang Lijuan, professor of the Education Department at Beijing Normal University. Pang further pointed out that Shinchan destroys the traditional image of a polite, hard-working boy. She fears that some teens may copy his behavior and harm their psychological development. Pang and many others in China think that Shinchan is a cartoon for adults-----not for children.

But some kids disagree. Jiangxin, a senior 2 student in Luhe Middle School in Beijing, became a fan of Shinchan after he first saw the cartoon two years ago. He said it is Shinchan’s humor , courage, and cleverness that makes him and his friends love the little cartoon character . “Shinchan looks at the adults’ world with kid’s eyes. He uncovers the hypocrisy(虚伪) and selfishness in a childish way,” explained Jiang. “We watch it just for fun.” But Jiang also admitted that Shinchan is not good for all ages. “It may not be suitable for primary school kids. They may try to blindly copy him.”

Shinchan’s “father ”, Japan’s popular cartoonist, Yoshito Ushi, never thought Shinchan would cause such a heated discussion. He argued that Shinchan is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men. The boy does everything adults would like, but don’t dare to do. “People can easily forgive him because he’s only five years old,” said Yoshito.

1. Teachers and parents dislikes Crayon Shinchan because ________.

A. he looks very ugly

B. he caused a heated discussion

C. the character was created by an adult cartoonist

D. he was regarded as a negative role model for children to follow

2.Many children are crazy about Shinchan mainly because .

A. he looks very funny

B. the cartoon character is suitable for all ages

C. they think he is humorous, clever and brave

D. he is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men

3.The underlined word “offensive” in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. humorous     B. ugly-looking     C. funny    D. unpleasant

4.What is Yoshito Ushi’s explanation of Shinchan’s behaviour?

A. Shinchan is such a naughty boy that he can’t behave himself.

B. Shinchan is trying to draw people’s attention by doing some offensive things.

C. Shinchan wants to set a role model in a different way.

D. Shinchan’ s behaviour is just a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men.

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College

As I type this , I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5 things nobody told me about college:

1.

Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of attendance. During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.

2.

In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships ,and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.

3.

College is where you meet your bridesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about the people who you invest yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient　 to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.

4.

As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor, asking him for support towards my initiatives, met with the Vive Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.

5.

At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all or your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study, pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.

A. Get involved in student activities

B. Your voice is actually super important

C. There is a significant increase of opportunities

D. Stay in active communication with your friends

E. Get smart about the people who you spend your time with

F. Your major does not matter as much in your first of college

G. College life is meaningful.

Earlier this morning I e-mailed an old friend, Mark. We have been out of touch for 12 years, but the 36  is a wonderful thing. Finding his e-mail address 37  less than a minute. He is working on his doctoral paper in western America.

Mark and I met at a summer 38  that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t 39  exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.

We lived close to each other and 40  saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the 41  and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere. I come across them occasionally and 42  to sit down and read through them, but I never have. He was a 43 and precious friend to me, and I am deeply 44  that we have drifted so far apart.

Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny 45. He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could 46  entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who 47  such a unique and powerful mind 48 they never quite fit into the main stream of life. 49  Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it. When I knew that Mark was working on his 50  (on a highly intellectual and fairly mysterious and difficult topic), I thought, “Well yes, of course.” He is just where I would

I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be 52  by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be 53  again, or whether these years have left us with 54

in common. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I 55 , or only remain the boy I knew.

“Up until about five years ago, students at this school could have worn anything they wanted on Halloween,” said Rosemarie Nielson, a sixth-grade teacher at St. Theresa School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx where there is a prohibition on toy weapons.

“When you consider all the horrific things that have happened in recent years, including 9/11, I can’t blame any school for wanting to stay away from anything that might promote violence,” Ms. Nielson s aid.

Mary Ellen Manniello, whose daughter, Courtney, 9, is a fourth grader at St. Gabriel School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, said she understood why officials had banned weapons with costumes. “They’re learning more about guns from issues in the street than educational issues.”

This year, the school has gone one step further and is prohibiting all costumes at its Halloween festivities. Ms. Manniello said it had become “a chaotic scene,” with parents helping their children change into their costumes at school.

Some parents said the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes went too far and denied children a chance to express themselves.

“Halloween has always been the one day when it was acceptable for our children to be dressed like somebody they are not, like a cowboy or a pirate or a person from outer space, and now we’re taking that away from them,” said Laura Santoro, a nurse from New Milford, Conn., whose 7-year-old son, Johnny, is a second grader at Northville Elementary School there.

Ms. Santoro said that her son would dress as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the character played by Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, at the school’s Halloween party, but that he would not be allowed to take a sword — part of a policy that caught her by surprise last Halloween.

“I sent my son to school last year dressed as a special force Power Ranger, and he was told that he couldn’t take along his red laser blaster, which really surprised me, because the laser is red and made of plastic and lights up, and it could never, ever be mistaken for a real gun,” Ms. Santoro said. “I mean, come on, the whole thing is getting really sad.”

1.What do you think is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To introduce to the public the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes.

B. To state parents’ attitudes towards the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes.

C. To tell the public that children should bring any weapons for Halloween costumes.

D. To analyze the fact that the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes goes too far.

2.According to the passage, some parents understand the no-weapon policy for Halloween costumes because ____________.

A. schools should take a cautious approach to Halloween to prevent violence.

B. children are buying real guns in the street and there is always violence now.

C. those parents like to help their children change into their costumes at school.

D. children are learning more about guns from educational issues.

3.Which of the following is probably right according to the passage?

A. Children could bring any weapons into school five or six years ago.

B. The parents surveyed are those whose children are in elementary schools.

C. Guns are necessary on Halloween for children to express themselves.

D. Jack Sparrow is an actor who at one time acted as a pirate in a movie.

4.What do the underlined words “laser blaster” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. A kind of costume.                B. A real gun.

C. A toy weapon.                    D. A kind of plastic.
