Last summer I was lucky enough to participate in a volunteer adventure to Kenya, in association with Virgin Atlantic’s Be the Change programme and children’s charity, Free the Children. The moment I read the e-mail saying that I had been accepted into Free the Children’s Virgin Atlantic scholarship trip to Kenya, I had no idea how much it was going to change my life. I thought the trip would be a great way to learn about life in one of the most rural areas of Kenya, but I never thought about how deeply I might be affected by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When we entered the Masai Mara, the first thing that struck me was how unbelievably beautiful it was. As I looked closer to it, I realized there was something even more beautiful: the people. I have never been to a place where the saying “the people are what make the place” was more true.
The way they wave at you excitedly as you drive past, shouting “Jambo, Jambo!” is something that I have never experienced. They are always smiling and welcoming and it made me realize that, if everyone were to act like this, the world would be a much happier place.
The most amazing thing about the trip was that we weren’t treated like tourists for one second. We were able to experience every little detail. We built foundations, carried ten litres of water…
The one thing I will never forget is visiting Emorijoi Primary School. Let me describe it like this: As soon as you entered into the gate, you would hear someone shouting your name. Then you looked around and realized that it was the same little girl that you were playing football with the last time you visited.
There are literally no words to explain how much I miss Kenya. It feels like there is a piece of string attaching me to everyone that I met there. They will stay with me forever and always be in my heart.
1.When the author was informed she was in the volunteer adventure, .
A. she didn’t think much of it
B. she pretended to be excited
C. she became proud of herself
D. she hoped to learn more about Kenya
2.What made the Masai Mara much more beautiful? _____.
A. The local people B. The scenery
C. The lovely children D. The primary school
3.According to the passage, “Jambo” is actually a way for the local people to_____.
A. say thanks to the visitors
B. praise the beautiful visitors
C. greet the visitors
D. express their happiness
4.Which word can best describe the author’s feeling of the adventure?
A. Calm B. Unexpected
C. Upset D. Threatened

B
“Folk singers are more like poets than singers,” Li Yahe, a music businessman, once told China Youth Daily.
That saying perfectly describes Zhang Lei, the 34-year-old champion of the fourth “Voice of China” singing competition, which ended on Oct 7.
Critics thought Zhang's success as a victory for folk singers.The Voice of China used to attach great importance to singing skills and vocal techniques, which are not necessarily what folk singers are good at.“Folk songs are more about emotions and storytelling,” said Li.
Folk is one of the oldest musical styles.It dates back to ancient times, when people sang about their everyday lives and the society around them.
A powerful comeback
Folk music became popular again in the Western world in the 1960s.During social revolutions, many young Westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk.Pioneers included US singer Bob Dylan, whose songs are reflections of some social issues like the Vietnam War.Singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo, the upright bass, the mandolin and the piano.
In the late 1970s, folk music was introduced to Taiwan.The rise of singers like Lo Tayu and Chyi Yu popularized folk music, particularly among young Chinese people.
At that time, folk tunes were based on simple song structures, with pleasant chord progression and pretty lyrics, just like during old times.But they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics.
This continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept Chinese mainland in the 1990s.
Folk pioneers
Sadly, it didn't last long in China.Folk gave way to pop in the late 1990s, when people started living more fast-paced lives.But that didn't mean folk music had disappeared from the music world entirely.
“The drop in the popularity of folk songs is because the business mode of the music industry is outdated, not because of the music itself,” folk singer Song Ke once said.
He was right.Recent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity, with the appearance of singers like Li Jian and Song Dongye.
“The popularity of the Internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry,” Lu Zhongqiang, manager of 13-Month, a music recording and publishing company, told Tencent Entertainment.
“Not-so-well-known music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining,” he added.
1.Which would be the best title of the passage?
A.The History of Folk Music
B.Folk Music Pioneers
C.The Folk Music Industry
D.The Voice of China
2.The underlined world “it” in the last but four paragraph means________.
A.the popularity of folk music
B.the focus of folk music
C.the tradition of folk pioneers
D.the new model of pop music
3.Which statement is true according to the passage?
A.The Voice of China is very popular among young Chinese people
B.Folk music once was a way to voice opinions about social issues
C.Folk songs are more about expressing emotions than storytelling
D.Outdated music mode is what leads to the decline of folk songs
4.Which word can best describe the attitude of Lu Zhongqiang towards folk music?
A.Objective
B.Confident
C.Critical
D.Worried
