Frank works at a school called Tumul K’in,which means “New Day” in the local language (Mayan Mopan).The school was founded in 2001 by Belizean Filiberto Penados,who received funding(基金) from the United Nations for the project.
Frank said that there were about 60 students in five grades at the school,and they ranged from 12 to 20 years old.
It was different from other schools in the area,Frank said.While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages,he said,Tumul K’in trained them for those things they could use locally,such as farming and various trades.
“The difference in education is that students at Tumul K’in learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said.“The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”
As for the radio station,Frank said that the effort was part of a programme originally founded by the UN.
“The radio station has been named ‘Ak Kutan FM’,or ‘New Day FM’.It will broadcast health information,such as where people can go to get tested for HIV,as well as report local and national news,” he said.For most,it was the first interaction(互动) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have.
“I can’t stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,”Frank said.“Many have never left their village nor seen something like a telephone,refrigerator or even a world map.”
1.Tumul K’in was founded .
A.by the radio station “Ak’ Kutan FM”
B.with the help of the local people

A.To show the local people how to stay healthy.
B.To help the local people maintain their own lifestyle.
C.To let the outside world know more about Mayan culture.
D.To allow the local people to have more contact with the outside world.
3.From the passage we can infer that .
A.Tumul K’in makes great contributions to the development of Mayan science
B.the Mayan villages haven’t developed very much in the past few years
C.more and more Mayans prefer to leave their hometown to work outside
D.the radio station “Ak Katan FM” has been popular with the local people

On the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr. Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”
He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.
It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.
But Mr. Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”
One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”
He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”
“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”
“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”
“I want to buy my mother a house.”
“It is possible, Mr. Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.
“Mr. Washington?”
“What do you want now?”
“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”
School was a real struggle for me. Mr. Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.
Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr. Brown, please?”
“Oh, Mr. Washington, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”
“Yes, sir, I was.”
1.What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?
A. You needn’t have the same opinion as others.
B. You should believe what other people say.
C. What other people say about you may not be correct.
D. The doctor made a mistake.
2.What happened to the author at last?
A. He entered a good university.
B. He earned much honor.
C. He got a good job.
D. He made television programs.
3. In the passage, the author implies that ________.
A. people shouldn’t believe what doctors say
B. no one can be successful with hard work and confidence
C. no one is really educable mentally retarded
D. a good teacher can change a student’s life
4.The best title for the passage would be “________”.
A. Don’t Believe Others B. I Am the One
C. My Best Teacher D. I Succeeded at Last

A dam is like a wall that is built across a waterway to control the flow of the water.For many years,dams were built only of earth and rocks.Today,many dams are built of concrete.
When a dam is built,water is trapped and held behind the dam.This water forms a lake.The lakes can be used for recreation or for irrigating,or watering crops.The lakes also provide potable water,water that is safe for drinking.This potable water is piped from the lake into houses and other buildings.The lake water further serves as a home,or habitat,for fish and waterfowl.
Dams are often built to provide flood control.Just before the rainy season,the water in the dam is allowed to flow out very slowly.This lowers the water level in the lake so that snowmelt and rainfall can be stored there in every spring and used as needed during the rest of the year.
Some dams are built to use the power of falling water to make electricity.Such dams have powerhouses that contain machines;turbines and generators.Water falls from the lake to the river below the dam.As the water falls,it is sent through the powerhouse.There,the force of the water turns the turbines and generators and produces electrical power needed to light and heat buildings.
