Jane was from a small village in Southern America. Her family was poor and noodles were often their only food. Her parents couldn’t afford to pay the electricity bill (电费), so she had to study by candle light.
What was worse, to live on, her parents moved to a faraway village with the other four children. As for Jane, she didn’t want to give up learning and she dreamed to enter a famous university. She stuck to living alone in her village.
After Jane’s parents left, she lived a really difficult life. Having no place to live in, the homeless girl had to sleep on the back seat of the school bus. Luckily, Mrs. Brown, the caring school bus driver, learned about Jane’s situation and invited her to live with her family. Soon, Jane found a job in her school. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up rubbish again in the afternoon. With the money she got from the work, she paid for her education. And she stayed up late in the evenings studying for all kinds of exams day after day.
Jane’s hard work made a difference to her life. She finished high school with unexpected results. She was accepted by Harvard, one of the world’s most famous universities with full scholarship (全额奖学金).
The 18-year-old girl created her own future with her never-give-up attitude and hard work.

What do you do if you're stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals（信号）
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F "I need food and water."
II "I need medicine."
I "I am badly hurt."
X" I am unable to move from here."
Pilots' replies
If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?
1.Which picture means "it's not safe land"?
A. B. C. D.
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".
B.If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.
C.If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".
D.The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The explanation of building signals on an island.
B.The importance of making signals on an island.
C.Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D.Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

Nathan Sawaya’s childhood was a lot of fun. He drew cartoons, wrote stories, and played with plastic toy bricks (积木). His grandparents bought his first set of toy bricks when he was five years old and he’s been building with toy bricks ever since. He even took his building bricks to college with him instead of books and a computer.
After he left the college, Nathan started as a lawyer first but soon stopped his highly—paid job to become an artist that uses toys in his art. He uses toy bricks to build everything from the Statue of Liberty (自由女神像) to Superman! He has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his working room in New York which he uses to make pieces of art.
Nathan’s work has appeared in museums around the world. Children love his art because it is made out of the same toys that they play with at home and adults love his work because it is exciting. Since it began in 2007, Nathan’s exhibition “The Art of the Brick" has been very popular with museum visitors everywhere.
“I’m proud that I make my dream come true and what I would like to tell the young is that to do what you love in life is the most important thing.” says Nathan.
