In Hangzhou Yongjin Middle School, its money. The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 students of Senior 1 and Senior 2 were divided into 30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things. What did they choose to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo(竹子)baskets. Hu Qings team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers(城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek(捉迷藏)with the officers for the whole morning, ”said Hu, “Finally we had to give up. ”Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square.

After my first visit to Boracay, a small island in the Philippines, in March of last year, I knew that I would return soon. I was there again in April this year. It was on the island that I first tried kite-surfing. The Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of Boracay has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers. I randomly chose a center, which happened to be an affiliation(附属机构)of International Kiteboarding Organization. The organization has training centers around the world, and some of its courses are tailored for beginners like me. The center on Boracay has different courses, from recreational to professional. In the recreational category, trainees have to do the “discovery” level before they go on to more advanced levels. My instructor Brian, who was from the United States, adhered(坚持, 遵守)strictly to the centers rules about levels, and began the training by asking me to set up the kite on the sand, which was the very first step at the ground level of the “discovery” course. I had a teammate, and we both couldnt wait to have the feeling of riding with the wind on the surface of the water. But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the movements of our bodies. I was there in March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient maritime trade route. They call the wind Amihan, or trade winds. From September to May the year before, the hills on the northern and southern ends of the island channel the Amihan wind from the east onshore, and onto the Bulabog Beach on the eastern coast of the island. 25. Which of the following is NOT true about Boracay?A. It belongs to the Philippines. B. An affiliation of International Kiteboarding Organization lies there. C. It has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers. D. It only offers visitors training of kite-surfing. 26. Which word can best describe the authors feeling in the training?A. Disappointed. B. Excited. C. Depressed. D. Worried. 27.The best title of the passage is. A. Boracaya Beautiful IslandB. Kite-surfing Training ProgramC. My Experience of Kite-surfing TrainingD.

Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race*. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey *. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3.360 kilometers.Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat.

When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it. Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic.

The expression caught on, and now if something is all right”, people like to say OK|Boss Is your boss nice to you? If not, just be glad you werent living in the old times. Back to that time, bosses could do anything bad to their men and could even beat them! That explains why the word boss comes from an old German word meaning to beat.A piece of cake A famous American writer named Ogden Nash lived in the 1930s. Many readers enjoyed his poems and wrote them down in their notebooks. In one of his poems, Nash wrote, Her pictures in the papers now and lifes a piece of cake.
