Now that newsrooms(新闻编辑室) are becoming less popular in the US,young people have begun to tell their own stories.
GlobalGirl Media,an organization that teaches teenage girls digital(数码的) storytelling skills for free,was started by award-winning filmmakers Amie Williams and Meena Nanji in Los Angeles in 2010.
“By giving girls a voice,you introduce a different story,and change the existing one,”said Danny Glover,a member of the GlobalGirl Media organization.
“When the camera’s in my hands,I feel like I can’t lose,”Said Cheyenne Grisez,14.“It makes me happy and I feel like I can do anything.”
On the final day of the summer academy in California,Williams worked with Grisez and Camila Prado,15, on a short film about Prado’s fight against an eating disorder(紊乱). In the film,Prado bravely interviewed her parents and sister about how she was able to beat her bad feelings and eating disorder. This film and others the girls had made were shown to parents and friends on the last day of the academy, celebrating their hard work.
“It’s their story,and nobody knows how to tell it better than they do.”Williams said.
“These girls are from really difficult backgrounds. They feel trapped sometimes. They feel alone.”Williams said.“The camera gives them a way to look at their world in a different way and get out of that feeling.’’
Girls in the program practice their skills and build confidence by going out in the community and interviewing people for the short films.Many of them had no experience, but found they had good storytelling skills.
“I work with these girls. Every day I leave gratefully,because I know that.due to the work we're doing with them,things will be better,”said GlobalGirl Media summer academy project director Heather Faison.

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact, it is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city , helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets, Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆粪)this waste . They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused , but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
1.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Changemakers B. Businessmen
C. Social Conditions D.Rubbish Problem
2.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to" ______ "
A. the local farmers
B. Masqsood and Iftekhar
C. Drayton and his team
D. the poor people in Dhaka
3.It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he ______ .
A. considers Drayton's concept
B. gets permission from Ashoka
C. tries to improve social conditions
D. is a young, happy and healthy adult
4.The authors attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as ________.
A. changing B. forgiving
C. cautious D. positive

When I was young, I didn’t know that friendship was. When I stayed with my friends, a warm feeling came out the bottom of my heart. Now I have grown up and make many friends. And I have experienced the true feeling of friendship. When I am happy, they are also happy and share the happy with me. When I make progress, they will get more exciting than me. Beside, when I am in a difficult situation, they will offer help to me. But friendship is never an one-way ticket. If we want to get it, we must treat others good at first. We should always be ready to help the others, especially when you are in trouble.

I would recommend uVolunteer Programs in Costa Rica(哥斯达黎加) to anyone. Everyone can learn something and enjoy their time here if they have the ability to adapt to different circumstances and a sense of adventure.
I came to San Ramon---the capital of Costa Rica, hardly knowing any Spanish, so the first thing I did there was to take Spanish courses at Spanish Language School for a week. My family stay was also of great help to my language study, but that experience with the classes gave me a huge jumpstart on the language, which has been extremely valuable.
Once in San Ramon, I was fortunate enough to experience several projects with amazing people. I taught Adult English Night Classes, helped at an elementary school, and also went to the Community Center in Bajo. The adult classes are just so awesome because it can be really engaging, social, and fun while being educational. We all learned a lot from each other and became pretty close. The Sabana School was a nice elementary school right by the dorm. The kids were so incredibly nice, even giving me lots of hugs and small gifts. I came at a time when there were many holiday celebrations so there were some scheduling challenges, resulting in me being there to assist English classes a couple of hours in the morning. I decided to go to Bajo in the afternoons. I, like all of the other volunteers, absolutely loved it. This is a place where I felt I was really helping in a more significant way. The kids started to open up more to me the more I was there playing with the kids and helping with the educational programs. The staff and kids are just incredible.
Aside from work, we decided on some weekend trips. By the end of my stay I had experienced hot volcanic springs in La Fortuna, snorkeling and hiking with incredible wildlife in Puerto Viejo, caving in Nicaragua, and kayaking and night fishing (we ate the fish too) in Playa Hermosa. I also enjoyed dancing, eating, and watching performances during the San Ramon festivals.
1.Everyone can benefit from uVolunteer Programs in Costa Rica as long as ______.
A. they learn to speak Spanish
B. they are flexible and adventurous
C. they live in a local family
D. they experience different projects
2. The underlined words in paragraph 2 probably mean ______.
A. a big surprise
B. a complete understanding
C. an excellent beginning
D. an emotional experience
3.The author participated in several volunteer projects in San Ramon EXCEPT _____.
A. taking Spanish courses
B. going to the Community Centre
C. assisting English classes in Sabana School
D. teaching Adult English Night classes

科目:高中英语 来源:2015-2016学年河北邢台一中高一下第二次月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
I look in the mirror, and I'm not happy with what I see. I don't have a "perfect" face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, blue eyes, and, of course, a pretty little nose. They're on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards(广告牌)I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical "perfection". These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how to look.
Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries(手术)and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we try to prevent the aging process (过程). It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, when you can step back and look at all you've achieved(successfully complete something). It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle(皱纹)creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.
I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that "you don't want anyone to like your appearance. It's your heart that is important, because beauty fades(消逝)." I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.
1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A. the author doesn't have a perfect face
B. women have to look beautiful
C. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
D. there are too many beauties in daily life
2.What's the author's attitude towards being "old"?
A. It's a pity that people have to get old.
B. It's a fruitful and wise time.
C. It's stupid to try to stay young.
D. It's a pity that society looks down upon the old.
3.It is that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important.
A. women themselves
B. the author's parents
C. newspapers and magazines
D. society
4.What's the author's opinion about beauty?
A. The author doesn't like the beauties our society values.
B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.
C. It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty.
D. The author feels appearance is important to a person.
