GERALD Christian is in Grade 8 at Ridge Road Middle School in North Carolina, US. She is a member of her school basketball team. Late last month, the 14-year-old faced a big problem. Her mother lost her job. She thought she couldn't pay the $ 50 fee for the city's sports meet this year.
Christian was not the only one who had this problem. Some other middle school players in the city had the same problem.
That's why famous NBA player Michael Jordan gave $ 250, 000 to the city earlier this month. He wanted to help the poor students. Jordan said: "I know there are kids who get an education by playing sports. We need to keep sports alive for them."
Christian was shocked. "Really? I can't believe Michael did that for us. These days, I go to bed thinking about it and I wake up thinking about it," she said. "Now the problem is over. "
Christian wanted to say "thanks" to Jordan. "Michael, thank you for giving me the chance to show myself. I will do my best at the meet.

“Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local(当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term.” Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed(失望的).”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

As for the students themselves, they want to get good results so that they can go further for their studies. ②They don’t have to put all their time into studying and give up all the sports and hobbies. In fact, education can not go without physical exercise, because a quick mind hardly goes along a week body.
All the students should remember:③Without a strong body, you can never achieve anything.

小题2:将②处翻译成汉语。　　    _____________________。
小题3:根据③处内容，完成下面句子。（每空一词）
If you__________a strong body, you can never achieve anything.
The Red Cross is an international organization. It cares for people who are in need of help. A man in Paris hospital needs blood, a woman in Mexico hurt in an earthquake and a family in India lost their home in a storm. All of them may be helped by the Red Cross. The Red Cross is in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent（新月）. All of these agencies（机构）share a common goal of trying to help people in need. The idea of forming such an organization started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he saw how people were suffering during the war in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded （受伤害的） people regardless of（无论）which side they were fighting for. The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the people, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.
小题1:A good title for this passage is _______________.
A．People in Need of Help B．Forming an Organization to Help the Soldier
C．The International Red Cross D．Join the Red Cross
小题2:The underlined word “ suffering” means “___________”.
A．受苦的B．生活的C．欢庆的 D．喜悦的
小题3:Who can be helped by the Red Cross?
A．The soldiers.B．The American.C．All the wounded people. D．Anyone.
小题4:Where can you find the Red Cross?
A. We can only find it in the USA.             B. We can find it all over the world.
C. We can find it only in India, Mexico and Paris.  D. In the places with natural disasters.
“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You  1 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
  2 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself  3 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still  4 saying  “No”.  5 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people  6 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look  7 beautiful with the new clothes  8 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think  9 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No,   10 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you  11 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by  12 . When  13 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident.  14 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great  15 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)
