Pauline Vernon — Malaysia
My mum and I flew out to Kota Bharu, Malaysia. On our first evening we had a party on the beach. It was a beautiful scene: a beautiful empty beach, white sand, the warm waters. I swam in the water thinking 'this is the life', when a jellyfish (水母) stung (刺痛) my legs, and it was only then that I discovered that two people had died from jellyfish stings that year. I now understood why the beach was deserted (荒凉的).
Sandy Henderson — the USA
I was camping in Yosemite National Park in California with a friend, when I awoke to the sound of crying. I looked out and saw a big black bear following my friend. We both ran in no clear direction. By chance, we'd passed a small house and we jumped inside and locked the door. After quite a long time, the bear lost interest and we were able to leave the house.
Nola Tracey — Yorkshire, the UK
It had seemed like such a good idea three months ago, which was when I'd persuaded my parents to let me go on the geography trip, but when we actually got off the coach in the rain, I just wanted to stay at home. The teachers were really nice, but even they couldn't do anything about the endless rain. Of course they'd imagined us all walking in the hills in sunshine — well that never happened!
Harry Green — Denmark
I went to Denmark with my friend Dan's family on a cycling holiday. The weather was lovely and sunny! What was a problem, though, was how far we had to cycle every day. My friend's family are all very fit, and although I'm fairly sporty too, I tried hard to keep up. We were in a beautiful part of Denmark, but we never had the chance to stop and look at anything. And in the evenings, all I wanted to do was sleep!

Before the late 19th century, paper was often made from textile fibers (纺织纤维), usually taken from recycled (再利用的) cloths. Only after the invention of paper made from wood pulp (纸浆) did low-cost, low-quality paper become easy to get. The rise of the paper industry made paper cheap, which meant that newspapers could be printed for low prices.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, it also became easier and cheaper to move information across long distances, which had a huge influence on the newspaper business. Railroads and steamships made long-distance travel easier and faster beginning in the early 19th century, so reporters could travel to interesting events. With the invention of the telegraph (电报) in the mid-19th century, traveling reporters could report back to newspapers rapidly. Pictures, too, could be sent over the wires (电报).
As words and pictures moved ever more quickly around the world in the 20th century, newspapers began to rely on wire services like Reuters and Agence France-Presse. These services had reporters based all over the world, and they allowed newspapers that could not employ foreign reporters to cover distant events quickly.
The rise of wire services also caused increasing similarities in the content of newspapers from different places. Beginning with World War II, reports of nonlocal events were similar in newspapers from the Philippines to Nova Scotia. Newspaper readers sometimes recognize this immediately from the bylines — the line at the beginning of the story carrying the author's name — of newspaper stories. If a story comes from UPI (United Press International) or a similar organization, rather than a reporter, it comes from a wire service and is often reprinted in hundreds of different newspapers.
8. What do we know about newspapers before the late 19th century?
A. They could break easily.
B. They were costly to make.
C. They were popular with the public.
D. They did great harm to the environment.
9. How did the newspaper business change in the mid-19th century?
A. Reporters could travel around the world.
B. News could reach railroads and steamships.
C. Pictures could be sent by traveling reporters.
D. Newspapers could be sent to different places quickly.
10. What does the underlined word 'this' in the last paragraph refer to?
A. News stories sharing the same bylines.
B. A reporter working for different newspapers.
C. Different newspapers reporting the same news.
D. People always paying attention to the same big events.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How wire services changed quite fast in the past century.
B. How newspapers played a big role in people's daily life.
C. Newspapers becoming popular all over the world.
D. The development of the modern newspaper.

It's lunchtime at Hall Memorial School in Connecticut, and 10-year-old Haley is making her way through the food line. Many of her friends are excited about the day's lunch: pizza and French fries and hot dogs. But Haley finds it all discouraging. 'I use four or five napkins (餐巾纸) just trying to get the oil off the pizza,' she says. 'Where is the healthy food?'
Health specialists are asking the same question. They say foods high in fat, salt, and sugar should be taken away from school lunch programs. 'Children are already eating too much junk (垃圾) food,' says Jen Keller, a specialist at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. 'It's important to offer them only healthy food in school.'
It's not that health specialists want to take kids' favorite foods away from them. They just want to help kids avoid many of the health problems that come with eating lots of unhealthful food. Today, 15 percent of children ages 6 to 11 are seriously overweight. That's up from just 6.5 percent in the late 1970s. Poor diet and obesity can cause diseases like type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), which can lead to blindness. As of a few years ago, this disease was so unusual in children. 'Many foods that are offered in school are connected to these problems,' Keller says.
Most schools do offer some healthful foods, but specialists say that doesn't solve the problem. 'Given a choice, most kids are going to choose junk over something healthy,' says Pat Thorton, a scientist who studies children's health.
Thorton and other specialists agree that schools and parents need to educate kids about making good food choices, both in and out of school. And kids need to become doubtful about food advertisements they see on TV and in magazines.
Of course some kids already seem to know all of this. 'Junk food is attractive,' says 10-year-old Tim. 'But my parents tell me that if I eat healthy now, I'll have strong bones when I get older.'
12. What is Haley's reaction to the school lunch?
A. She is unhappy about it.
B. She is doubtful about it.
C. She is interested in it.
D. She is surprised at it.
13. What do the numbers in Paragraph 3 suggest?
A. More adults are getting overweight.
B. School lunches are more and more healthy.
C. Kids pay more attention to their body shape.
D. More children are at risk of health problems.
14. What does Thorton advise parents to do?
A. Make food choices for their kids.
B. Prepare their kids' lunches at home.
C. Tell kids how junk food destroys their body.
D. Prevent their kids from watching food advertisements.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Common problems teenagers face today
B. Healthy food in school
C. Eat at school or home?
D. Lunch or junk?

Smokejumpers
Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares (公顷) of forest land. Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers (空降森林灭火员) are helping to stop this.

Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. __18__ Smokejumpers employed in the U.S., for example, must be 120 to 200 pounds (54 to 91 kilograms), so they don't get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.

__20__ But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumper Alexi Tishin says, 'This is the best job for strong people.'
