But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different a place to find friends. Its called the Friendship Bench. And its the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary a girl named Acacia Woodley.Acacias attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board “what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?” Its a philosophy Acacias has learned to live her own life -despite having a lot of people would consider a handicap. She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. “You need to believe in your dreams. If you dont believe in you dreams, I can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true.” She said.Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. “Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to,” she said. “I dont care that Im different. I like being different.”The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it words such as “hope”, “respect”, “listen” and “dream”. Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother.Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids or grown-ups to fill that need. “Its a perfect idea,” Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. “Its something weve needed so badly.”The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing one too. “Theres a saying in my teachers classroom,” Acacia said. “It says, it you can dream it, you can achieve it.”31. What is the function of the first sentence in Paragraph One?A. To explain the meaning of getting benched is sports.B. To introduce the important role “bench” plays in sports.C. To introduce what the author wants to say in the text to us.D. To tell us that the passage is connected with the word “bench”.32. What can be learned about Acacia from the passage?A. She is disabled but leads an active life.B. She has a deep understanding of life.C. She finds it difficult to achieve her goals.D. She finds herself always in need of help.33. What can we infer from the passage?A. More Friendship Benches will be installed in other schools soon.B. Students stop bullying other schoolmates at Palm Bay Elementary.C. The students at Palm Bay Elementary have become more friendly.D. Acacia has become a very important figure at Palm Bay Elementary.34. What is the best title of this passage?A. Acacias New Invention B . The Friendship BenchC. Help from a Special Bench D. Getting Benched in SchoolBAugust 1990，BostonDear Maya Shao-ming,To me, June 6, 1990 is a special day. My long-awaited dream came true the minute your father cried, A girl! You are more than just a second child, more than just a girl to match our boy. You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of another womans pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant (怀孕) by a cook, probably a co-worker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three months of her life. I like to think that my motheryour grandmotherloved me and fought to raise me on her own, but that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.More likely, I was dropped at the orphanage (M JLR) steps or somewhere else. I will probably never know the truth. Having a baby in her unmarried state would have brought shame on the family in China, so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I was out of her life, it was as if I had never been born. And so you and your brother and I are the missing leaves on a family tree.Do they ever wonder if we exist?Before I was two, I was adopted by an Anglo couple. Fed three square meals a day, I grew like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offerbooks, music, education, church life and community activities. In a family of blue-eyed blonds, though, I stood out like a sore thumb. Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different, my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin, or made fun of my clumsy walk. Moody and impatient, burdened by fears that none of us realized resulted from my early years of need, I was not an easy child to love. My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years, but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents, and as women of strength in our own right. Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity.But part of me will always be missing: my beginnings, my personal history, all the delicate details that give a person her origin. Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name Siu Wai. Siu means little, and War means clever. Therefore, my baby name was Clever little one. Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?I lost my Chinese name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to Sue. But like an ill-fitting coat, it made me uncomfortable. I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese. It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birth-name. That, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you. Your name, Shao-ming, is very much like mineShao means little. And ming is bright, as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives will you brighten, little Maya? Your past is more complete than mine, and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the lost baby inside me who still cries for her mother.Sweet Maya, it doesnt matter what you become later on. You have already fulfilled my wildest dreams.I love you,Mommy35. Why is June 6. 1990 a special day for Mommy?A. Her dream of being a mother came true.B. Her female line was well linked.C. She wrote the letter to her daughter.D. She found her origin from her Chinese mother36. How does Mommy feel about her being given away?A. It is bitter and disappointing. B. She feels hurt and angry.C. She feels sorry but sympathetic. D. It is painful but understandable.37. What can be inferred from Mommys Anglo family life?A. She forgot the pains of her early years.B. She fought against her American identity.C. She used to experience an identity crisis.D. She kept her love for Asia from childhood.38. Why did Mommy name her daughter Shao-ming?A. To identify her with Chinese origin. B. To brighten the lives of the family.C. To match her own birth-name. D. To justify her pride in Chinese culture.C“I pity the empress. Poor empress.” “Do you think Zhen Huan really loves the emperor?” From campuses to offices, from shopping malls to the streets, talk about Legend of Zhen Huan is everywhere.Unlike other long TV series, Legend of Zhen Huan, the 76-episode Qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. It has enjoyed widespread popularity on the Chinese mainland over the past months.The story is seemingly the same as those dramas which look into the lives of women in the imperial palace. It focuses on plots and intrigues(阴谋) within the Inner Palace during Emperor Yongzhengs reign.The heroine, Zhen Huan, initially a kind and innocent young lady, enters the emperors harem(后宫) of concubines. Discovering that the palace is a cruel and harsh place, Zhen learns how to survive on her own. However, Legend of Zhen Huan seems to arouse more discussion than any drama series. Why? Some experts say its because its a well-made series from inside out.Niu Hanting, deputy editor-in-chief of Art Panorama magazine, told Xinhua News Agency that the sets, props and costumes are carefully chosen. And the screenplay and dialogue are well-written. “The series takes care of every detail a good period drama should have,” Niu said. “From that aspect, its no coincidence that Zhen Huan could be big.” More importantly, Niu added, the TV series strikes a chord among audiences in different ways. “For example, as a woman, Zhen is hurt by the man she once loved. And as a newcomer to the palace, she finds herself caught in the fierce infighting and she has to survive,” Niu said, “Everyone may find themselves in Zhens position at a certain point.”Then its not hard to understand why the story of Zhen Huan is even seen as a survival guide for newcomers in the workplace. Its director, Zheng Xiaolong, once admitted that in terms of society today, the “promotion” of Zhen Huan reflects a persons career path in some way. “Whether the principles can be applied in todays society, or not, I want to make the story as real as possible,” Zheng told S. “There are many fairytale-like series that make audiences ignore or avoid reality, and the complexity of humanity.” “But Legend of Zhen Huan, is a series that makes you think.”39. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. People have pity on the empress. B. Zhen Huan really loves the emperor.C. Legend of Zhen Huan is very popular. D. Legend of Zhen Huan is shown everywhere.40. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 most probably refer to?A. The imperial palace. B. The life of women.C. Emperor Yongzhengs reign. D. The story of Zhen Huan.41. We can learn from Niu Hanting that she _.A. thinks Zhen has had effects on newcomersB. makes little of Legend of Zhen HuanC. speaks highly of Legend of Zhen HuanD. wants newcomer to follow Zhens example42. This text is most probably taken from a(n) _. A. textbook B. newspaper C.advertisement D. story bookDIts a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week, two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings. Officials from the university are reluctant(不情愿的) to give interviews. “We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan, head of HUSTs center for research and guidance for students development. “Media coverage(报导) may arouse some students negative emotions again. Suicide can be contagious(传染性的),” Zhang said. The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23. Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression. Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them. Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings. Leaflets(传单) carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm. However, the second suicide came seven days later. Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didnt see anything to indicate suicide. Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didnt know this until the students close friends outside school and their parents unveiled(揭露) the truth after the suicides. According to Zhang, there are only three full-time counselors (心理辅导专家)working in the universitys counseling center for its 60,000 students. He complained: “Its unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students mental problems.” Some universities in the US may be able to offer sol
