Home on the Way

People need homes. Children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes … But travelers have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. 1. Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.

Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them have the feel of home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with its service and attendants; 2. Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night are just like home — only mobile!

And how about keeping relationships while in transit? 3. Some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 4.

Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. 5.

A. Hostels provide a clean safe place to stay while you are traveling around the world.

B. others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make it more homely.

C. Backpackers in youth hostel may become very good friends, even closer than siblings (手足).

D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time?

E. No matter where you go in the world , hotels are there, too.

F. Some keep contact with their friends via the Internet.

G. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination we can make the place we stay in “home”.

How to protect your ears

You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard.____ 1._____ So no harm done…right?

Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious — and irreversible(无法治愈的)— hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. ____2.____ But the good news is that there plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love:

Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you’re listening to. ____3.____Turn it down.

Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.

Take breaks. ___4.____ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.

___5.______You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.

A. Use earplugs.

B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.

C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.

D. Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.

E. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.

F. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.

G. The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.

Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth

Introduction

Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K. I. and our partner organizations have learned.

Background

Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but a combination of factors: the lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment, and urban crime.

Street Business Partnerships

S.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.

● The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.

● The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.

Lessons Learned

The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organizations have created.

● It’s important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills.

● Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shining kits.

● All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowing money. Generally the rates have been modest.

Conclusion

There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs.

1.The organization, S.K.I., aims to ________.

A. give business training and loans to street children

B. provide schools and social support for street children

C. share the lessons S.K. I. learned to help street children

D. draw the attention of the government to street children

2.This passage implies that with the help of S. K. I. street children may ________.

A. reject paid employmentB. set up their own business

C. leave their familiesD. employ other children

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The link of all loans to training programs is important.

B. Interest is charged for the loans in all S.K.I. programs.

C. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles.

D. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization.

Avatar has become the most successful movie in 2009. It is about a soldier whose mind is set into the body of a giant blue alien. He was sent to a dangerous planet called Pandora. His mission(使命) is to find a rare mineral(矿物质). The mineral is the key to solve the earth's energy crisis(危机).

According to the latest figures(数字), Avatar has become the fastest film ever to make more than 1 billion dollars in ticket sales around the world. When it had been shown in cinemas for several days, it became the most popular film ever made.

Avatar knocked the movie Titanic off the international release top spot. But Titanic's director James Cameron probably won't be too upset, because Avatar is directed by him as well! Before Avatar was filmed, the best selling film ever was Titanic.

James Cameron decided to make Avatar in 1999. However, the means(方法)to realize his vision(影像画面) did not exist yet. In 2002, The Lord of the' Rings: The Two Towers made him believe that CGI (电脑影像合成) effects had progressed enough to make this film. After several years of production, the 3D spectacular Avatar successfully showed us a fully immersive experience.

1.The movie Avatar is about ________.

A. a soldierB. an officer

C. a womanD. a rare mineral

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Avatar was the most successful movie in 2009.

B. Avatar and Titanic are directed by the same person.

C. Avatar is a 3D movie.

D. The Lord of the' Rings: The Two Towers didn’t bring James Cameron any ideas about how to make Avatar.

3.Avatar became the most popular film ever made when it had been shown in cinemas for ________.

A. four weeksB. several days

C. two monthsD. half a year

A. 1999B. 2002C. 2009D. 2010
