I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.

I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated (推荐) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.

That’s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people’s mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined, Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!

Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase seems to have shrunk (收缩) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline regulations (规定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44 pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes into such a small space seemed an impossible task. However, I have lessened my load and my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from a slightly bloated (臃肿) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.

I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!

1.When does the author write the passage?

2.Which of the following is not the aim of People to People program?

3.Which is the correct order of the author’ preparation for the journey?

a. being accepted as a member

b. raising money for the trip

c. attending a meeting about the program

d. packing belongings

e. being nominated by the teacher

4.What does the author think of the journey?

In jokes, the chicken only crosses the road. In Australia, cane toads (蔗蟾) use roads to travel.

A new study finds that Cane toads are using roads to spread across the continent.   They take shelter overnight close to the open corridors (走廊), and then hit the road each evening in their damaging way.

Cane toads were brought into Australia from Hawaii in 1935 to control the spread of beetles (甲虫) that were destroying Australia's sugar cane crop. They are now moving into new places at the speed of 30 miles a year.

Toads can grow as large as dinner plates and can weigh up to 4.5 pounds. Their heads and backsides are covered with rows of warts (疣). They are known to kill snakes, lizards and other animals, including pet dogs. They have no natural enemy in Australia.

According to a research, toads make slower progress through thick plants than along open spaces and they hop (跳) alongside roads and fences whenever possible. Toads use long corridors that are well-suited for them to travel long distances.

Another study recently found that toads have evolved (进化形成) longer legs in recent years and that this is also helping them in their spread.

Efforts to kill toads have been largely unsuccessful, although scientists tried their best.

Another new finding suggests ways to slow down its population.  For example, roadside borders can be changed to make them less attractive to toads, or allowing thick plants to grow along the sides of highways, thus forcing toads onto the road of themselves.

1. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Ways to kill cane toads in Australia.

B. Cane toads have evolved a lot in Australia.

C. Australian cane toads hit the road.

D. Worse environment forces toads to travel.

2. At first, cane toads were brought to Australia to_______.

A. kill snakes, lizards and other animals

B. stop pet dogs from spreading

C. protect the sugar cane crop

D. hate a scientific research

3.According to the passage, the ways to slow down the population of toads are based on the fact that cane toads_________.

A. move slower through thick plants

B. have no natural enemy in Australia

C. mainly live near the roadside

D. like traveling at night

4.The underlined word "They" in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.

A. Beetles                         B. Cane toads

C. Australia's sugar cane crop          D. New places
