　　Many people love going on a trip by plane, but an airport is usually far from the city．You have to arrive there and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late．You can't open the window, you can't choose the food．Planes are fast, but it takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city．

　　I like travelling by train．I think trains are safe．Train stations are usually in cities．When you are late for a train, you can catch another one．You can walk around in the train and open the windows．You can see many interesting things on your way．I know it takes a little sore time．

　　I also like cars．You can start your trip when you want to, and you don't need to get to a station bus stop．You can carry many things with you, too, but sometimes there are many cars on the road．

　　Nine days, 17 games, morning and night he competed and won．He had to beat former(从前的)world record-holders and gold medalists．He had to turn their wins into old news．

　　Michael Phelps started to swim at the age of 5．Guess which stroke(动作)he first tried? The backstroke．It's because he didn't want to put his face in the water．

　　By the age of 7, he had taken part in a lot of swimming competitions．At 11, he met Bob Bowman who saw the kid's great talent．

　　How did Phelps become so good? He was born with the body of a swimmer．He stands 1.87meters high and has a wide wingspan(臂展)．He knows how to use his body to full advantage．His hands and feet are like paddles(踏板)in the water and he has a strong kick．

　　But that's not all；he also has the heart and will to win．He thinks that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it．

　　Swimming is Phelps’ life．Every day he spends five hours in the water, swimming about 11 kilometers．He never takes a day off．This is a young man who knows what he wants．

　　The members of school clubs build booths(摊位)and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches．Some clubs help to welcome visitors．

　　During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago．Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school．

　　Everyone soon comes to watch the football game．When the game is half over, the band(乐队)comes onto the field and plays school songs．Another important moment is when the Home-coming Queen or King appears．All the students vote a most popular student Home-coming Queen or King．It is a great honor to be chosen．

Dear Mr Zhu,

　　I am writing to your magazine's “Teenagers Now” column(专栏)to ask for some help with my 16-year-old son．At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do．He is our only child and we treat him very well．His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude to us．He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him．Sometimes he acts as if he doesn't even love us at all．

　　Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music．I cannot understand this music, but I don't like it．He also spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online．He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!

　　What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing him his freedom．However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse．

　　How can I help my son without harming our relationship?

Yours

Liu Zhenhua

阅读理解，阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

　　If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit．It is very important in American culture．American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees．He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country．

　　One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away．” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy．If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”．This, howeverr, is not a good name．If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”．

　　Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经)never says so．The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America．

　　An apple is also delicious．Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice．

　　In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples．Washington,D．C．and New York are both famous for their apples．

　　Finally, when it's time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities．

　　On the afternoon of December 12, Lulu, with more than 40 schoolmates, got on the school bus after school as usual．But several minutes later, the bus fell into a ditch(沟渠)．Twelve students lost their lives that day, including Lulu．

　　According to the Ministry of Education(教育部), traffic accidents are the No．1 killer of middle school and primary school students．About 18, 500 children under 14 die in traffic accidents in China every year．There are about 285, 000 school buses in China but only 10 percent of them are qualified．

　　Last month, the Chinese Ministry of Education gave an order： schools and kindergartens across the country should carry out safety checks on school buses．

　　On December15, Huang Ming, the vice minister of the Ministry of Public Security, said that school should have priority(优先权)on the roads．They can also use the bus lanes．“ We'll punish drivers with no licenses and those overloading(超载)children, ” Huang added．

　　Local governments have also tried to improve school buses．The bus has GPS technology and can carry 50 students．In Taizhou, Jiangsu, school buses now have a monitor system(监控系统)．Once a school bus is overloaded, it will send an alarm(警报)．

阅读理解，阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

　　For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing．These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language．

　　But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language．Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others．The language they used was a language without sound．It was a sign language．

　　How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies．These movements stood for things and ideas．People might move their forefingers across their lips．This meant, “You are not telling the truth．” They might tap their chins with three fingers．This meant “my uncle”．

　　The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet(字母表)．They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet．In this way, they spelled out words．Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute．

　　Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were．Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips．They are also taught how to speak．

　　The aim of students who came to school is to study．But to study requires a right way，or you waste either the time or the money．The following are the ways of studying．

　　The best time for reading is morning，because in the morning，the air is fresh and the mind is clear．For that reason，we can get good result．

　　In studying we must have patience．If we have not known a text well，we must read it again．We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one．

　　When we are studying，we must put our hearts into the book，or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading．

　　We must always ask “whys”．If it is not well understood，write it down and ask our teachers or our parents，or friends．In any possible way，we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better．

　　Though there are many ways for studying，yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so．

　　One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a chair in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance．The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened．

　　When kids fall down, they don't think of the fall as a failure．Instead, they consider it as a learning experience．They try and try again until they succeed．

　　While I was touched by the boy's strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran．With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural．He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could．He was just being a child-just being himself-being completely in the moment．He never gave up．Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life．

　　He was not looking for others' smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not．He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely．I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life．
