          Can you really travel around the world for free? Li Jun, a 17-year-old girl from Shenzhen Foreign
Language School, still can't believe her 10-day free training (训练) camp in the Alps in Switzerland last month
was true!      
          But how did she achieve this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
          Last October, a piece of short world news in a newspaper—"Have a chance to see the world, for free",
caught her eyes. When she asked her friends if the story was real, they laughed at her, for they thought she
was day-dreaming. However, Li decided to apply (申请) online the following weekend.
         "Opportunity is everywhere. I'd like to keep my eyes open and catch the chance." she told herself. What
happened next was tests on health, hobbies and awareness (意识) of environmental protection. She passed all
of them very easily.
          On December 14, Li Jun surprised her friends with an invitation letter from the program, the Pangaea
Young Explorer Selection Camp set up by South African explorer Mike Horn.
          On January 11, Li left for Switzerland, with several newly bought ski-suits in her suitcase. Over the
next week, she and 15 other teenagers from around the world took part in exciting training and lessons. They
took day-trips up the Alps to an altitude (纬度) of 3,200 meters, went sledging (滑雪橇) at night using modern
equipment. They were also encouraged to complete difficult journeys up mountains, down hills, and through
forests.
          Because of her performance during the training, Li was chosen as one of the eight young explorers to
join Mike Horn in the South Island of New Zealand in May. She will write for the newspaper and share her fun
experiences there with readers.
1. How did Li Jun's friends feel when Li told them the news?
[     ]
A. They were surprised.
B. They didn't think it was true.
C. They all wanted to get the chance.
D. They had no idea of the news.
2. Why did Li decide to apply on the Internet?
[     ]
A. She didn't want to lose the chance.
B. Her friends encouraged her to do that.
C. She received an invitation letter from the program.
D. She wanted to tell her classmates that they were wrong.
3. How long did Li receive training in Switzerland?
[     ]
A. About 28 days
B. About six months
C. About four months
D. Ten days
4. What is the correct order of the story?
[     ]
a. Li got an invitation letter from the program and was trained.
b. Li read news about seeing the world for free.
c. Li became one explorer in Mike Horn's team.
d. Li applied and passed the tests.
A. b-c-a-d            B. b-a-d-c           C. c-d-a-b          D. b-d-a-c
5. What kind of girl is Li Jun?
[     ]
A. A girl who likes taking adventure
B. A girl who doesn't believe her friends
C. A girl who likes talking to her friends about everything
D. A girl who likes day-dreaming

  Dear Roni,

  Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

  The country near Florence is so beautiful-hills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋顶) of the houses look so nice far away.

  I am afraid I am getting bigger-the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

  Beach, CA 92651

  U. S. A.

  Hi Roni,

  I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

  I spend each morning on the beach(海滩) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

  One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

  How I miss you!

Mari

  Dear Roni,

  Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

  Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

  I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

  And when we find something green--a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

  See you in September,

Kim
