Don't you want to be useful like your
brothers?
I was not
convinced. I did not believe there was really any

I took

We met Alma that same morning at

Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked
behind, admiring the scenery, two women in
sunglasses and summer hiking gear
stopped.
They'd heard us
discussing different routes, then asked if we'd
like suggestions.
They
looked to be in their 40s, and were both
enthusiastic to share their local
expertise.
We

one

explained that there were no cars available during
our week on the island, so we had to rely
on cabs instead.

We spent the rest

so memorable.
Instead, it was the act of kindness from a

In
the
nineteenth
century,
one
of
America's
greatest
writers,
Walt
Whitman,
helped
people
learn to value poetry. Whitman created
a new kind of poetry.
Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New
York City. During his long life, he watched
America
grow from
a young
nation
to
the
strongest
industrial
power
in
the
world.
As
a young
man,
Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and
a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six
years old when he published his first
book of poetry in eighteen fifty-five. He called
it
Leaves of
Grass
. It had only twelve
poems. The poems are written in free verse. The
lines do not follow any
set form. Some
lines are short. Some are long. The words at the
end of each line do not have a
similar
sound. They do not rhyme.
One
of
America's
greatest
thinkers
and
writers
immediately
recognized
the
importance
of
Leaves
of
Grass
.
Ralph
Waldo
Emerson
praised
Whitman's
work.
But
most
other
poets
and
writers said nothing and even denounced
it. Most readers also rejected Whitman's poems.
The
new
form
of
his
poetry
surprised
many
people.
Even
his
own
brother
told
Whitman
that
he
should stop writing poetry. But Whitman
had many things to say. And he continued to say
them.
Readers began to understand that
America had a great new poetic voice.
Walt Whitman's poems praise the
United States and its democracy. The poet
expressed his love
for America and its
people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves
of Grass as a major literary
work. In
eighteen seventy-three, Walt Whitman suffered a
stroke. He spent the last years of his
life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was
poor and weak during the last years of his life.
He died
in eighteen ninety-two. Some
critics say Walt Whitman was a spokesman for
democracy. Others
say he was not a
spokesman for anything. Instead, they simply call
him a great poet.
（

What can we know about
Whitman?
A. His
poems have the same rhyme.
B. He is the first great poet in the
USA
C. He helped people to
create new poems.
D. His
poems show his love for his country.
（

）
Why
was Leaves of Grass refused at first?

are only 12 poems in it.

If we want to find out
what kind of technology people used in the past,
we normally have to
rely
on
archaeologists
to
find
ruined
buildings
and
parts
of
tools
or
instruments
or
machines.
Archaeologists
then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help
of computer technology, what
these
ancient buildings and objects must have looked
like, and how they might have been made.
Sometimes historians are lucky and find
an ancient document with a written description of
these
ancient buildings and
objects.
We
can
understand,
then,
why
Chinese
historians
were
so
excited
when
they
found
cave
paintings which show ancient science.
They found these paintings in the world-renowned
Mogao
Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in
Northwest China's Gansu Province. There are 500
man-made caves
and they have survived
for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these
caves have paintings on their
ceilings
or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th
centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these
cave
paintings
(also
called
frescoes)
and
he
says:
discovered
frescoes
containing
scientific
and
technological
content
in
almost
all
of
the
caves
which
have
frescoes.
What
is
remarkable
about these cave
paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is
that they provide evidence of
and
technological
inventions
by
ancient
Chinese
in
maths,
physics,
chemistry,
astronomy,
geography,
agronomy,
architecture,
textiles,
traffic
and
transportation,
arms
and
military
equipment and medical sciences
Among the discoveries experts have
made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques
of
pottery making and wine production
and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and
then
toothbrushes! The paintings also
give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time
with, for example,
pictures of people
boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe
that there is more evidence
to be
found, but even now the caves are a wonderful
natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of
the caves were all put together they
would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2
meters high!
It won't be
possible to travel back in time-that only happens
in films-but visiting these caves
would
be the nearest experience you could get to
travelling back in time.
（
1
）
Why
were
Chinese
historians
excited
when
they
found
cave
paintings
showing
ancient
science?
A. Because they had rarely seen cave
paintings.
B. Because they
could make the place a tourist
attraction.
C. Because they
could learn about ancient science through
them.
D. Because they would
be given lots of money for the
discovery.

It can be a real
struggle trying to learn a new language. I had
always enjoyed learning languages
in
school, but only recently did I start learning
German. I found that I could understand and learn
individual words easily, but when it
came to literature, I really struggled. That was
when my tutor
at university suggested
reading some children's books printed in the
target language.
At
first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a
book designed for someone half my age, lout then I
realised
that
everyone
has
to
start
somewhere.
As
children,
we
are
given
these
basic
texts
to
familiarise
our
brains
with
certain
vocabulary
and
writing
structures,
and
from
there,
we
can
learn and develop. I
started with books which are taught to us as
children in the UK. I managed to
find
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the
Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
The
beauty
of
reading
books
that
were
introduced
to
you
as
a
child
is
that
you
are
already
familiar with the plot. As a result,
you can work out some of the definitions of words
with your
prior knowledge of the story.
At first, I used to read with the book in one hand
and a dictionary in
the other, but this
method did not work well for me. The method I
would recommend is to read a
chapter of
your chosen children's book and at the end of that
chapter, highlight the words you do
not
know and then look up the definitions. If you can
wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you
may
be
surprised
what
you
can
get
merely
from
the
context
of
the
sentence
in
the
story.
Additionally, a lot of children's books
have pictures which may give you a clue as to what
or to
whom the passage is
referring.
（

）
Why
was the author advised to read children's books?
A. Because she was weak in
reading great works.
B.
Because she was slow to learn language.
C. Because she liked children's
literature.
D. Because she
couldn't remember any words.
（

What can kids
get from children's books according to the
passage?
A.
Vocabulary and listening skills.
B. Learning methods.
C.
Words and structures.
D. Designing skills.
（

）
What
causes the author feel surprised while reading
children's books?
A. Grasping the context from the
pictures.

definitions of words from a dictionary.

the story.
D. Understanding
the words simply from the context.

When Katie Stagliano
was 9 years old, she was given a class project to
grow her first cabbage
from just one
seed. She took it home and planted it in her home
garden. It didn't even take her
long to
come up and begin to grow. But as friends came
over, they pointed out that it was bigger
than any of theirs. And it grew so much
that the cabbage ended up weighing 40 pounds!
Katie
then decided that she could use
this cabbage to do something nice for the
community. So she
took the huge cabbage
to a local soup kitchen, where they used it, and
cooked it with ham and
rice. And
because of her cabbage, 275 people were
fed.
She began to
realize that gardening and helping people is what
she likes to do most. So, she
decided
to start her first garden on a plot of land
donated by her school.
many people can be fed if you donate
your produce,
18 years old, and has set
up her own business called
friends.
But
this doesn't even come close to the other amazing
part. She has raised over 200,000 dollars!
And there are over 100 Katie's Krops
within 33 states in the United States. She loves
gardening
and loves inspiring other
children to experience the joy of gardening as
well. As of today, her first
