When Emily Beardmore first heard that a trip was being planned by the biology class at Windsor High School, she thought about how much fun it would be.
“I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment,” the 17-year-old girl said.
A few months later, Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates, along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May.
“It was not just a tour,” said Pennington, who organized the trip. “You can go any place in the world on just a tour. This one was really working with the sea turtles (海龟) and practicing conservation(保护). It just seemed like the perfect science field trip for kids who think they want to get into science to see what it's really like to be out in the field and enjoy themselves.”
Emily said her time on the turtle program, which was the focus of the trip, was “crazy.”“We were walking on the beach at night and you can’t see anything—just see a big black dot.” She said with a laugh. “I was not expecting the turtles to be that big.” The turtles are leatherback turtles, which are becoming extinct (灭绝) because their eggs are used as food.
“When they would move their legs while laying their eggs they were really hard to control because they were a lot more powerful than you would imagine,” Emily said.
Once the eggs were collected, the students took them back to a hatchery(孵化场) and dug holes to copy the hole the mother turtle had made and then buried the eggs for the 60 days needed to hatch.
“The experience was so cool,” Emily said. “You go to another country to see what their culture is like and learn what their everyday lives are like. It made me really want to help out my mom a lot more than I do, and value what I have.”

How many of us have heard that question, "Where was GOD when the World Trade Center(世贸中心) and the Pentagon(五角大楼) were attacked?" Well, I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!
He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.
He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked(被劫持的) planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.
He was busy trying to create obstacles(阻碍) for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.
He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't fall when the jets crashed. And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost.
So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11," you can say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I see God's miracles in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD – life would be hopeless. So shines a good deed in a weary world!
1.In what way the author tried to prove his point in the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples.
C. By answering questions. D. By performing experiments.
2.Which one of the following is TURE according to the passage?
A. There were three planes together hijacked in the attack.
B. The passengers on the planes were not frightened at all.
C. Many people working at WTC were delayed by traffic jams on Set. 11.
D. Many more people were killed in the buildings than we could imagine.
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “Miracle” in the context?
A. something funny B. something important
C. something reliable D. something unbelievable
4.Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Everyone has a GOD.
B. Where was the GOD?
C. Never forget September 11.
D. September 11 – A Disaster To America.

Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead. Josh had drowned(溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn’t know how to swim, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.
Josh was not alone in the black community. USA Swimming points that 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to an official survey, African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range.
In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, a non-profit(非营利组织) that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total of 10$. Up to now, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.
“The public pools near our home are closed, and other places are not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer. “I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we’re thankful for that.”
Butts is doing much more, however, than just providing swimming lessons.
“She ups the awareness(意识),” said Shaun Anderson, a swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these communities(群体) learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations that know how to swim.
Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim every day instead of just once a week.
1.What led to Josh’s drowning?
A. He was poor in boating skills. B. He was careless when swimming in the lake.
C. He was never taught swimming skills. D. He gave his life jacket to a friend.
2.Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?
A. To remind black parents not to let their children get near waters.
B. To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.
C. To blame(责备) the government for not treating the black equally.
D. To show many African-American children don’t have swimming skills.
3.What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?
A. Helpful. B. Expensive.
C. Interesting. D. Difficult.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Learning how to swim is important.
B. Wanda Butts’ wishes for the future.
C. Free swimming lessons for African-American children.
D. A mother helps thousands of children learn to swim.
