Kellie Lenamond is 16. She’s from the United States. She has many hobbies. She likes playing volleyball. She also likes playing the violin, and she loves singing. But Kellie has an unusual hobby: beekeeping (养蜂).

Kellie doesn’t work with her bees every day. She looks after her hives (蜂房) about twice a month in the spring, summer and autumn. She spends more time with her bees in winter. There aren’t many flowers for the bees to get food from at this time of year. So Kellie feeds the bees sugar water in winter.

This is a usual day for Kellie when she works with her bees:

8:00 She gets up and eats breakfast.

9:00 She makes sugar water for the bees.

10: 00 She does her homework.

11:00 She practices the violin.

12:00 She makes lunch for her brothers and sisters. Then they eat lunch together.

3:00 She goes to volleyball practice.

5:00 She and her mom make dinner.

7:00 After dinner, Kellie dresses herself in special clothes. She feeds the bees sugar water.

Every summer, Kellie takes honey from the hives. Her bees can make a lot of honey in a year. Kellie and her family sell some of the honey, cook with some of the honey and give friends honey, too.

Kellie’s friends don’t go near the hives. They are afraid. They don’t want the bees to sting (蜇) them. Kellie says they don’t understand that bees are safe. “I like standing safely in the middle of the bees. No one else is brave enough!” she says.

One day Peng Xianzhe learned he would go to the Mashan School in Guizhou. The 16-year-old boy tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign "DON’T wash clothes with water, or you will be punished(惩罚). "

Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.

Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.

The project idea came from Peng’s principal(负责人). One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School, who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3, 000 students made over 10, 000 donations of water, books and clothes.

Peng and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.

Ding Zhentao, 16, was worried about the school’s poor learning environment. "The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use,"Ding said. "Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. "

Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度)towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.

"They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies," Chen said. "You can see the passion(热情)in them. I believe it will make a difference. Their futures will be bright. "

1.Which school does Peng Xianzhe study?

A. Mashan School. B. Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School.

C. Project School. D. Training School.

2.The underlined word"shabby"means in Chinese.

A. 黑乎乎的 B. 光滑的 C. 破旧不堪的 D. 不平整

3.Who started the school’s Rain & Bow Project?

A. The principal of the foreign language school.

B. Peng Xianzhe, a 16-year-old boy.

C. Chen Shi, a student from Beijing.

D. Li Guoxian, a poor girl in Guizhou.

4.How many people went to the Mashan School and gave the donations?

A. Four. B. Five. C. Nine. D. Ten.

5.The passage mainly tells us about .

A. the poor learning environment of the Mashan School

B. the things that Beijing students did, saw and heard at the Mashan School

C. the Mashan School students’ positive attitude towards the drought

D. a story of a poor girl who stopped going to school because of drought

1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. B 【解析】 试题短文大意:本文主要是介绍北京朝阳外国语学校的学生在马山中学的所做、所看、所听。 1. 2.shabby to use以及前句the school’s poor learning environment可推知“shabby”的意思只可能是“破旧不堪的”,所以该选C。 3. 4....

A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. You have the wrong body for ballet, 'it says,' and at thirteen, you are too old. This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theatre's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.

This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.

Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career (职业) really is just now beginning.'

1.How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?

A. 13

B. 14

C. 25

D. 33

2.Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?

A. Because her family moved a lot.

B. Because she was not a good dancer.

C. Because she had no invitation letter.

D. Because she had the wrong body type.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.

B. Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.

C. Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.

D. Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.

4.What's the writer’s opinion of Copeland?

A. Copeland sets an example who never gives up.

B. Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.

C. Copeland has made her achievements by accident.

D. Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.
