The biggest challenge I have overcome is stepping out of my comfort zone. In the year of 2013 which I was 15, I joined an exchange student program. I sent to Germany alone and lived with the host family.
At first it was a huge failure for me. Thanks for my host mom, she helped me a lot. She told me some tips to make friends, such as joining a sports club and invited my classmates to watch a movie. Surprising, all of the tips she gave me work out! She also suggested that I can introduce my culture to my classmates. To my astonish, they were both interested in Chinese culture.
Gradually, my discomfort zone became a part of my comfort zone.

Dujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world, and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities in the province.
In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.
The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.
Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. Li Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.
Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modern dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.
1.What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?
A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.
B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.
C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.
D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.
2.What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?
A. Heavy rains. B. Melting snow.
C. Low river banks. D. Steep mountains.
3.How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?
A. By using gunpowder.
B. By flooding the rocks with water.
C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.
D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.
4.Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?
A. It preserves much of the natural river life.
B. It took very little time to complete the project.
C. The building techniques used were very modem.
D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.

Does a 16-year-old have the ability to change the world, benefiting hundreds of thousands of people?
Olivia Hallisey should believe so. With her invention of new Ebloa test, the girl from US has become the winner of the 2015 Google Science Fair, a yearly competition for creative teenagers who want to make a difference in the world.
Hallisey’s method asks patients to put a sample of their saliva (唾液)onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is infected with Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests can take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Hallisey’s method, by contrast, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Moreover, the test needn’t be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia used to produce the testing cards.
Hallisey started working on the test one year ago when she saw Ebloa spreading across African countries. Her research was based on looking at and using previous research and her own creative ideas.
“She deserves all the praise she’s getting for her hard work, dedication, and intelligence,” said her science teacher Andrew. “Her project is very helpful for the medical diagnosis that we need in parts of the world where Ebola is most common.”
“What affects one country affects everyone,” Hallisey told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the challenges that threaten global health, our environment and our world.”
1.According to the article, Olivia’s tests .
A. use a person’s saliva, which is sorted at a low temperature
B. are less time-consuming and less expensive than current tests
C. are less time-consuming but more expensive than current tests
D. show changes in the color of blood if the person is infected
2.Which of the fo llowing statements is TRUE?
A. Olivia’s discovery could benefit the lives of many people.
B. Olivia’s research was based on her own creative ideas.
C. Olivia set her mind on winning the 2015 Google Science Fair.
D. Olivia’s research began before the outbreak of Ebloa in Africa.
3.What quality makes the test more convenient?
A. The material used can easily be produced in Africa.
B. The material used is easier to store in a refrigerator.
C. The material used needn’t be put in a special device.
D. The material used is common in the places where Ebloa is most comm on.
