【题目】A first-grade student whose best friend is suffering from cancer decided that hours of playing and telling jokes was not enough—he wanted to show his buddy just how he understood the tough time he was going through.
Five-year-old Vincent Butterfield decided the only way was to shave his head in support of his best friend Zac Gossage who lost his hair through chemotherapy(化疗).
Zac was diagnosed(诊断) last June with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (急性淋巴细胞白血病). He is being treated but still goes to Union Central Elementary in Missouri every day—because that's where he gets to play with Vincent.
When the little boy was asked why he shaved his hair off, he told KSDK: "To make Zac feel like he's not the only one without any hair."
Vincent has also been learning about cancer and raising money for his best friend after learning how expensive his chemotherapy treatments are.
He made more than 20 scarves and sold them, raising more than $200 to give to Zac.
The little boy's mom Karen Butterfield told KSDK," We had been making these scarves and he just kind of said it would be cool if we could make a whole bunch of these and sell them."
When asked what friendship was, Vincent looked at his friend Zac and responded: "It's a beautiful thing."
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells. The cancer, which attacks the blood and bone marrow (骨髓), is most common in children aged two to five years old and has optimistic survival rates.

【题目】You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level has risen 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311 000 an“endangered nation”.
【1】The text is mainly about___________.
A. rapid changes in earth’s temperature?
B. bad effects of global warming
C. moving of a country to a new place
D. reasons for lowland flooding
【2】According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is __________.
A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
B. higher surface water temperatures of the sea
C. continuous global warming
D. rising sea levels
【3】Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.
A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B. sign an agreement with Tuvalu
C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
【4】The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.
A. Australia B. New Zealand
C. the Maldives D. the United States

Until I was ten years old I was the same like everyone else. I used to climb tree, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly represent my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker . In the end I went into hospital for medical tests, I stayed for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, include one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at them under a microscope. Even after all that, nobody could give my disease the name and it is difficult to know what the future holds.
One problem is what I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after run a short way or had to stop and rest on halfway up the stairs.

【题目】Dear Mayor,
I'm a resident of the city. I feel there are many problems existed in the trade of taxis in our city. First of all, there aren't enough stops in the streets. And taxis often run very fast, which caused many traffic accidents. Additional, some taxi drivers refuse to pick some passengers without any reason. Another terrible thing is that deeply at night taxis waiting around entertainment places make too much noise. A friend of mine living in another city once visited to me, and she told me a taxi driver once cheated her by taking a roundabout route. How will a guest think of our city after such bad experience? I think we must take actions to tighten control over the taxi trade. The last thing to do is raise the taxi drivers' professional morality.
Sincerely yours
Chris
