9.Jenny Bowen,an American living in Beijing,was selected,as the only American to carry the 2008Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil.She and seven other non-Chinese winners had been chosen from 262applicants from 47countries in a contest organized by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group and the official English-language newspaper,China Daily.When Bowen ran with the Olympic torch,she was not only representing the United States,but also representing thousands of Chinese orphans(孤儿).
Bowen,a mother of two adopted(收养) Chinese daughters,is director of Half the Sky Foundation,an organization which was founded in 1998and aims to enrich the lives of orphaned children in China.In nearly 10years,Bowen and Half the Sky have touched the lives of over 13,000children.Half the Sky is now present in 36welfare institutions in 28Chinese cities.
About 4,000children are active in the program,which provides trained staff,educational tools,medical support and care for orphans.
Bowen hoped that running with the Olympic torch would help draw attention to the children in China.She was among 19,400runners who carried the flame along an 85,000-mile,130-day route across five continents.Beijing organizers say it was the longest torch relay in Olympic history.
Like Bowen,the seven other.non-Chinese winners,including a German engineer and a Venezuelan designer,live in China.Other countries represented were the Philippines,Colombia,India,Japan and Russia.
According to Olympic organizers,candidates (候选人) were selected based or an online vote,committee selection,their"love of Chinese culture and history"and devotion to"communicating information of a real China to their native countries".Each runner carried the torch for 200meters on Chinese soil.

17.A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price.A more recent definition is:a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
 The cost of producing a new-for example-toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it,so we will market it at£1.20.It is not a bad toothpaste,and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades,so sales will fall.When that happens we will reduce the price to£1.15.And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.
 Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF.What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever!Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱),but he doesn't.A bargain must not be missed.People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become‘bargains'.Many people just cannot resist bargains.Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for.Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day.But he had no regrets:the saw had been truly cheap.
 Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains.A lady once told me:"I've had a lucky day today.I bought a dress for£120,reduced from£400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for£600,reduced from£900."It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted£720.She feels as though she had made£580.She also feels,I am sure,that if she had more time for shopping,she could make a living out of it.
 Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper.Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren.They thought it a bargain not to be missed.When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it-until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one.So that was where they piled up their sugar.Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee,but the toilet became extremely sticky.
 To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer.When greedy fools fall for this trick,it serves them right.

17."Another bad day at school?"my father asked as I came into the room.
"How could you tell?I didn't shut the door heavily or anything,"I replied.Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school.Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
"I know this move has been hard on you.Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,"Papa said,as he put his arm around my shoulder."What you must remember is that,with a lot of hard work and some time,you will make new friends."
"You don't know how hard it is.This year my baseball team would have won the championship.They won't even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here.All I get to play is right field,and that's the worst!"
Papa turned toward me."Things will get better,I promise you.Let me ask you,do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?"
"Yes,your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo."
"Very good,and what makes your grandfather so important?"
"He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,"I answered.
"That is only partly correct.Your grandfather was a very great man.In Mexico,he had been a teacher.When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn't speak the language.It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here,but he did it.He never complained because he knew change could be difficult.Did he ever tell you that?"my father asked.
I looked down at my feet,ashamed at my behavior."No.That must have been hard,"I said sheepishly.
"Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent,they will accept you for who you are.I want you to always remember what my father taught me,even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,"said Papa.
All I could say was,"Okay."Then I asked,"What should I do now?"
Laughing,Papa said,"How about you pitch a few to me?You need some work."
31.Why was the author unhappy that day?C
A.Because he moved to a new country.
B.Because his baseball team lost the game.
C.Because he wasn't offered a chance to pitch.
D.Because he quarreled with his friends at school.
32.The father successfully changed his son's mood byB.
A.asking him to train harder           B.telling his grandfather's story
C.playing baseball with him            D.introducing him some new friends
33.The underlined word"sheepishly"probably meansD
A.cautiously       B.patiently        C.rudely           D.shyly
34.What can we infer about the author?D
A.He thinks his father lives in the past.
B.He'd rather live with his grandfather.
C.He will continue to dislike school and everything.
D.He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.
