In 2003, Bethany Hamilton,13, lost her left arm to a shark attack while surfing off Kauai, Hawaii. A new film ,Soul Surfer, is based on the story of how she overcame that to achieve her dream of becoming a professional athlete.
Growing up on the “garden isle” of Kauai, Hamilton spent every minute she could riding the waves. She was on the verge of (即将) becoming a top competitor in professional surfing. But while she was practicing at an isolated cove (小湾),a four-meter-long tiger shark ripped off her left arm. Though her life was saved ,nobody could imagine she would ever get back on a surfboard again.
In a true test of her faith and by tremendous will power, Bethany did get back up on a surfboard only a month after the attack. Six months later, she was competing again. Bethany Hamilton won her first amateur surfing championship just two years after she lost her arm. She also established the “Friends of Bethany,” a non---profit foundation dedicated to supporting sharks attack victims.
It’s a story told in her autobiography, which is the basis for the film that stars teenager Anna Sophia Robb. “I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”
The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding .
Now 21, Hamilton says she hopes audiences find inspiration in the description of the sport she loves.
“Not a lot of people know that much about surfing, so I hope they’re educated about it,” Hamilton says. “And most of all if people are going through a hard time, they could be encouraged and find inspiration to push through those hard times and see that, in my case ,so much good has come out of it.”

Officials in the Midwestern U. S. town of Joplin, Missouri, say the death from Sundays’ big tornado reaches 116 and that search efforts continue for possible survivors trapped in rubble (碎石). Search and rescue teams are conducting their third sweep through the nearly 10 kilometer – long and one – kilometer wide area of destruction left by the tornado. They are working as quickly as possible while weather conditions remain relatively stable. More storms are forecast for the area.
Joplin Fire Chief Mitch Randles said there are areas with large piles of rubble that might hold survivors. “We are still finding individuals. We did rescue seven individuals from underneath rubble yesterday and, of course, we are also finding dead folks as well.” Said more folks and that is why we are doing these searches. We want to make every opportunity that we can to find everybody that is in the rubble and that has survived to this point.”
Randles said the current sweep involves a slower pace that previous searches and that he plans a fourth search, possibly on Wednesday, using specially trained dogs. “We are searching every structure that has been damaged or destroyed in a more in-depth manner, “he said.” I have dogs and dog handlers coming from all over the country do help us in that effort.”
Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr said the Red Cross and other volunteer organizations are helping people who were left homeless by the tornado and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is on hand to help. “Joplin is a great city. We have suffered a great loss, “said Rohr.” We will recover and we will recover strongly and we have a lot of help and a lot of volunteers to make that easier.”
The tornado that struck Joplin was classified by the Natioonal Weather Service as an F – 4, with winds of more than 300 kilometers per hour. It lasted only 20 minutes, but it killed more that 100 people, injured more than 400 others, and destroyed or heavily damaged some 2,000 homes, businesses, churches and a hospital. Authorities have registered more than 1,700 calls about missing people and they hope to resolvemost of those cases soon, as victims are identified and survivors come forth and reunite with loved ones.
This was the worst tornado to strike the United States in 60 years. It was the latest in a wave of violent storms that have swept Midwestern and southern states in recent weeks, leaving more than 300 people dead an causing more than $2 billion dollars in damage.

No one likes the idea of being watched but, in today's high-tech society, a video camera can keep its eye on you 24 hours a day. This is now even the case in schools, and the students are not particularly happy about it.
“Luckily for me, the video cameras in our school are only installed along the corridors(走廊),” said Zhu Jiangyue, a Senior 2 student in Beijing. “It would feel like you're always being stared at if there were a camera in the classroom. You would have no privacy.”
Two students in Shanghai learned this the hard way when their high school broadcast video pictures of them kissing on campus. They must have been annoyed by this and responded by filing lawsuit against the school for invasion of privacy and last month a local court agreed to hear it. It is the first case of its kind in China, and everyone has something to say about it.
Li Xiang, a Senior 3 student in Hunan Province, thinks the schools behavior was unacceptable and unreasonable. "If I were one of the victims, I would be as angry as they are," said the 18-year-old. Every classroom in Li's school has a video camera above the door. They are generally used only when an exam is taking place but sometimes a student is allowed to control the camera. In this way, students needn’t worry about being watched in most part of their school life and can enjoy the benefits cameras bring as long as it doesn’t damage their self-respect.
However, Peng Jianping, chairman of the Moral Education Research Centre in Guangzhou, thinks video monitoring causes more harm than good. “Schools hope to manage the students better with the help of video cameras,” he said. “But it won't actually work. Teachers and students should trust and respect each other. If video cameras are frequently used, teenagers will think their teachers don't believe them.”
1.According to the passage, which of the statements is true?
A. There are video cameras in every classroom in Beijing.
B. Peng Jianping doesn’t agree to manage students better.
C. Li Xiang thinks his school uses the video cameras in the correct way.
D. Two students in Shanghai in this case didn't say anything about it.
2.What does most school leaders want to use video cameras for?
A. To monitor the campus for safety.
B. To take pictures of students who are studying.
C. To monitor the students in the exams.
D. To manage the students better.
3.What's the writer's opinion on the use of video cameras on the campus?
A. He quite agrees. B. He doesn't agree.
C. We don't know. D. He neither agrees nor disagrees.
4.What's the best title for the passage?
A. Manage the students better with video cameras.
B. Video cameras on the campus.
C. Why video cameras used on the campus.
D. Better use of video cameras.
