award-winning
author

and
shaping
not
only

but
our
entire environment.

straight
before
jumping in. But they do have one

Lights,
Camera, Middle

!
by
Jennifer
L. Holm
For Babymouse, middle school is like a

girl
zombies.

doesn

t want to fit in
—
she
wants
to
stand
out!
So
she
joints
the
film
club
to
write
and
direct
a
sweeping
cinematic,
epic
（电影史诗）

B
In
high school I was very shy, content to hang around
with my small group of
friends and to
concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a
so
well
that
by
the
end
of
senior
year
I
had
perfect
grades
and
enough
college
credits
to give up an entire quarter of
coursework.
But in early June of senior
year, the principal called me into his office. He
asked
me
to
give
a
speech
at
graduation.
I
gaped
（目瞪口呆地凝视）
at
him,
my
heart
thumping. This was the reward for my
hard work? I mumbled something and fled the
office,
blaming
my
self
for
staying
away
from
physics,
a
subject
sure
to
have
broken
up my
perfect record.
I finally agreed to a
compromise. I would share the honor with five
other
students. I agreed to introduce
my friend Judy, who would then give her own,
full-length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived,
I
’
d been practicing my
speech for days, and I
had it
memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony
passed in a blur, and then
my
moment
came.
My
name
was
announced.
I
managed
to
reach
the
podium
without
falling
down. I faced my classmates. My voice
trembled a little, but mostly it was clear
and
strong.
But
within
seconds,
I
was
done
and
heading
back
to
my
seat.
I
accomplished
something
I
’
d never dreamed of
—
I spoke in front of
hundreds of people.
Although I
didn
’
t realize it at the
time, the successful completion of that
speech gave me the confidence to
participate in class at college, to give verbal
reports, and to eventually break free
of my shyness. I never would have chosen to
give a speech at graduation
—
or ever. But
I
’
m glad I did . I no longer
hesitate
when I
’
m
faced with the prospect of doing something I
dread. I know it may very
well turn out
to be one of my shining moments.

Dubai
（迪拜）
is one
of the economically richest places in the world.
With its
numerous malls, hotels, and
beautiful beaches, Dubai has always been a popular
holiday
destination.
This
city
was
visited
by
around
5
million
tourists
each
year.
The
government
wanted
to
increase
this
number
to
15
million.
However,
Dubai
has
only
45 miles of coastline, which is nowhere
enough for so many people. To solve this
problem, an island that looked like a
palm tree was built in 2006, and named the
Palm Jumeirah.
The plan for
the island was extraordinary. It was to host
several hotels,
shopping
malls,
restaurants,
and
homes.
Although
the
initial
plan
was
to
build
the
island
from
concrete
（水泥）
,
a
decision
was
taken
to
create
it
from
sand
and
gravel
（砾石）
, so as
to give it a natural look.
To make
sure that this project was a success, the best
engineers from across
the
world
were
employed.
Engineers
from
Holland
formed
the
majority
in
this
group.
To
begin
with,
the
engineers
calculated
the
strength
of
storms
at
sea,
and
also
the
expected amount of rise in water levels
due to global warming. And then they found
that, the proposed location for the
island was neither very wide nor deep.
One of the difficulties the engineers
came across was to put sand on the sea
bed to create the
breakwater
（防浪堤）
.Finding the
right sand for the project was
also
a
daunting
task,
as
the
sand
from
Dubai
’
s
deserts
was
too
fine.
Instead,
sand
from the sea was used,
as it was coarser
（粗糙）
. Once
the breakwater was built,
construction
of the island began.
The Palm Island
are really impressive in terms of engineering.
However, these
projects are so large
that they may have changed the ecology of the
region. Also,
an immense amount of
money and resources
go into maintaining
the
islands, which
is
a
major
concern
at
the
moment.
Only
time
will
tell
if
building
the
Palm
Islands
was
actually a good
decision.
8. What
does
Paragraph 1 mainly
show
us?
A, Beautiful
attractions
of
Dubai,
B. The
geographical
features
of
Dubai.
C. The
purposes
of
building
the
Palm
Jumeirah,
D. The
difficulty
in
developing
the
tourism
industry.
9. Why
were
some
changes
made
to
the
initial
plan
for
the
project?
A. To
reduce
the
building
cost.
B. To
get
the
islands
completed
sooner.
C. To
get
the
building
materials
more
easily.
D. To
make
the
island
look
more
natural,
10. What
does
the
underlined
word
in
Paragraph
4
mean?
A. meaningless
B. difficult
C. Impassible
D. necessary
11.
According
to
the
last
paragraph,
how
is
the
construction
of
the
Palm
Islands?
A. Profitable.
B. Surprising.
C. Worrying.
D. Unbelievable.
D
Before the statue of Liberty was
completed and shipped to the United States
for assembly
（组装）
,
a
campaign was organized to raise
funds to build
the base
on
Bedloe
’
s Island
for the enormous statue. Donations were very slow
in coming, and
in the early 1880s it
appeared that the statue may never actually be
assembled in
New
York.
There
were
even
rumors
that
another
city,
perhaps
Boston,
may
end
up
with
the statue.
One of the fundraisers was to be an art
show. And the poet Emma Lazarus, who
was
respected
in
the
artistic
community
in
New
York
City,
was
asked
to
write
a
poem
that could
be auction
（拍卖）
to raise funds
for the base.
Emma Lazarus was a native
New Yorker, the daughter of a wealthy Jewish
family
with
roots
going
back
several
generations
in
New
York
City.
Yet
she
had
become
very
concerned about the suffering of Jewish
refugees
（难民）
in Russia.
Lazarus was
involved
with
organizations
offering
assistance
to
Jewish
refugees
who
had
arrived
in America and would need help getting
a start in a new country. She was knows to
visit
Ward
’
s
Island,
where
newly
arrived
Jewish
refugees
from
Russia
were
housed.
The writer Constance
Cary Harrison asked Lazarus, who was 34 at the
time, to
write a poem to help raise
money for the Statue of Liberty base fund,
Lazarus, at
first, was not interested
in writing something on assignment.
Harrison
later
recalled
that
she
encouraged
Lazarus
to
change
her
mind
by
saying,
her torch out to those
Russian Refugees of yours that you are so fond of
visiting
at
Ward
’
s
Island.
Lazarus
reconsidered,
and
wrote
the
sonnet
New
Colossus
Thus
in
the
mind
of
Lazarus the statue
was not symbolic of
liberty flowing outward from America,
as
Bartholdi, the sculptor who created
the enormous statue, expected, but rather a
symbol
of
America
being
a
refuge
where
those
oppressed
could
come
to
live
in
liberty.
12.
What
was
the
purpose
of
raising
funds
in
New
York?
A. To
buy
the
Statue
of
Liberty,
B.
To
transport
the
Statue
of
Liberty.
C. To
put
together
the
Statue
of
Liberty.
D. To
build
the
base
of
the
Statue
of
Liberty.
13.
What
can
we
learn
about
Lazarus?
A.
She
was
born
in
Russia.
B. She
did
a
lot
in
helping
Jewish
refugees.
C. She
hated
the
Statue
of
Liberty
at
first,
D. She
moved
to
America
with
her
parents.
14. Why
was
Lazarus
unwilling
to
write
the
poem?
A. Because
it
would
be
auctioned.
B. Because
she
wasn't
in
New
York
then,
C. Because
it
was
an
assignment
in
her
view.
D.
Because
she
was
occupied
with
work
in
Russia.
15. Bartholdi
meant
the
Statue
of
Liberty
to
be
a
symbol
of
.
A. freedom
B. shelter
C. wealth
D. power

you, it

’
s about
them, not about you,
18 Try

your
assets
（资产）
to
the
overall
mission
of
the
company.
The
stronger connection you can make, the
better.
Close positively.

shake their hand and thank them for their
time. Look them firmly in the eye
again. 19

thank
you
as
soon
as
you
can

the

what
the

for
you,
but
what
you
can
do
for
the
company.
