    Imagine yourself in a small airplane 3,300 meters above the ground. The engines roar in your ears as you move towards the open door. Then you' re outside, falling with the wind whipping past your ears. As the ground rushes up at you, you open your parachute. 1.. All in all, you were in free fall for only 30 seconds---the longest 30 seconds of your life.

    2.. However, a growing number of adventurers are taking the risk. Obviously skydiving isn't something you can just try, like fishing or bowling. So, if you want to attempt the sport, you'll need to go to ground school.

    3.. The course is taught by licensed skydiving instructors who have been jumping for years.

    They'll teach you how to keep your body position stable. You'll also learn to be constantly aware of your altitude and, most importantly, when to open your parachute.

    Once you' re through with ground school, it's time to get up in the air. 4.. Two instructors always jump with the person, ready to pull the student's parachute open if he or she freezes up.

    5.. It certainly seems dangerous when you' re watching someone fall at 200 km/ hr. But, if you believe the statistics, skydiving is actually safer than driving, with one fatality (死亡) occurring in approximately 60, 000 jumps. Moreover, most enthusiasts agree all fear stops the second your feet leave the plane, and when you land, the only thought in your mind is, "Wow! I want to do that again!"

    A. However, a new jumper never jumps alone.

    B. It takes years to forget the taste of fear from skydiving.

    C. No doubt, you're thinking skydiving is a dangerous sport.

    D. It explodes over your head, pulling you back and upwards.

    E. For most of us, skydiving is something we only see in the movies.

    F. Ground school is where you learn to jump, without leaving the ground.

    G. Skydiving is the sport of jumping out of an airplane and falling freely through the air.

    This summer, Monika Lutz’s life took an unusual turn. Instead of heading off to college, the high school graduate packed her bags for a Bengali jungle. Lutz, like a growing number of other young Americans, is taking a year off. Gap(间隔) years are quite common in Britain and Australia, but they are just beginning to catch on in the U.S. Lutz, who grew up in Boulder, Colo., has put together a 14-month schedule that includes helping deliver solar power to some communities in India and interning (实习) for a fashion designer in Shanghai---experiences that are worlds away from the lecture halls and university dormitories that await other students. “I could not be happier,” she says.

    Why are students attracted to the gap-year concept? According to new survey data from Karl Haigler and Rae Nelson, education-policy experts and co-authors of The Gap-Year Advantage, the most common reason for this is to avoid burnout. “I felt like I was focused on college as a means to an end,” says Kelsi Morgan, an incoming Middlebury College freshman who spent last year interning for a judge in Tulsa, Okla., and teaching English at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic. The hope is that after a year out of the classroom, students will enter college more energized, focused and mature. That can be an advantage for colleges too. Robert Clagett, dean of admissions at Middlebury, did some research a few years ago and found that a single gap semester was the strongest predictor of academic success at his school.

    Most experts recommend securing a spot in college before taking a gap year and warn against using the time off to lengthen your resume. “Most admissions folks can see right through that,” says Jim Jump, the academic dean of St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, Va. But for students like Lutz, who, after getting rejected from five Ivies, decided to take time off, a gap year can help focus interests. Lutz now plans to apply mostly to non-Ivies that have strong marketing programs. “This experience has really opened my eyes to the opportunities the world has to offer,” she says.

    But at least one education expert doesn’t want schools spreading the gap-year message. In a study that followed 11,000 members of the high school class of 1992 for eight years after graduation, Stefanie DeLuca, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University, found that, all things being equal, those who delayed college by a year were 64% less likely to complete a bachelor’s degree than those who didn’t. DeLuca did not say whether these students voluntarily started college late, but at the very least, her work indicates that taking a gap year doesn’t guarantee success. “I’m not going to say that time off does not have benefits,” says DeLuca. “But I think we should not be so enthusiastic.”

    1.The students take gap years mainly because ______.

    A. they want to be more unusual

    B. they want to refresh themselves

    C. some experts advise them to do so

    D. their parents think it good for them

    2.According to Lutz, the gap year has made her more ______.

    A. energetic B. relaxed

    C. practical D. enthusiastic

    3.Stefanie DeLuca probably agrees that ______.

    A. students should think twice before taking gap years

    B. taking gap years enables students to achieve success

    C. schools should encourage their students to take gap years

    D. taking gap years increases students’ chances of getting a good job

    4.What’s the author’s attitude towards gap years?

    A. Sceptical. B. Positive.

    C. Disapproving. D. Objective.

    Google has kicked off Google Science Fair (GSF) 2014, its annual online competition for

    bright, creative and ambitious teenagers who want to change the world with science. While the project is led by Google, it also has the backing of the Lego Group and world-famous publications National Geographic and Scientific American. The competition is open for students aged 13 to 18, who can sign-up now, form a team and begin working on a submission.

    The winner will be rewarded with a ten-day exploration to the Galapagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavor, as well as a VIP tour of ‘Spaceport America’ in New Mexico. Google is also throwing in a $50,000 scholarship and $10,000 for the winner’s school to purchase cutting-edge science lab equipment.

    Google suggests that each project should be “an in-depth investigation of a science question or engineering problem” but otherwise, it’s up to students to pick and develop an idea that follows the competition rules.

    Completed projects need to be submitted by May 12, 2014 at 11:59 PDT. Google will announce the regional competitors in June, ahead of global finalists in August and the competition winners in September.

    You may begin working on your project after completing the registration process, however, you may not submit it for judging until you have requested and received parental consent (允许). Once you have done this, your parent or guardian will receive an email from Google with instructions on how they can give their consent for you to participate. The project will not be judged unless this consent is received.

    It is fine day today and I will never forget this special day. I was chosen to be a member of the football team and send to take part in the school football match. I was excited, but believed I would score most. But in the first round I hurt my leg and couldn’t but to give up. I felt very sad. My best friend Tom comes up to me and said, “You are great! You still played for a few minute even after your leg hurt. You are a true winner.” I couldn’t believe my ears. For me the one scoring the most is the winner. But Tom said, “The one which tries his best is the really winner.” Deeply impressing by his words, I want to say “thank you” to him.
