Dear Friend．

The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there．

And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the ＄3 billion worth of children's books bought each year, plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers．

Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me．

But am I good enough?

I was once where you might be now．My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help．

Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed．

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course．

I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened．I sold three stories．And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute．

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles．

Free test and brochure

We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training．

Realize your writing dream today．There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades (消失)forever．

Sincerely．

Kristi Holl, Instructor

People travel for a lot of reasons．Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines．Others are looking for culture，or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places．But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it．Residents of cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain．Every summer，more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) resorts and beaches for their vacation．They all come for the same reason: sun．

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries．Italy's 30，000 hotels are booked every summer．And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches，parks，and roadsides．Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else．37 million tourists visit yearly，or one tourist for every person living in Spain．

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle．The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth．And with increased tourism，it's getting worse．The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St．Tropez．And in many places，swimming is dangerous because of pollution．

None of this，however，is damaging anyone's fun．The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists．Obviously，they don't go there for clean water．They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches．They don't even mind the pollution．No matter how dirty the water is，the coastline still looks beautiful．And as long as the sun shines，it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin，London，or else．

1.It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______．

A．they want to see battlefields or religious shrines．

B．they are interested in different cultures．

C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites．

D．they wish to escape from the cold，dark and rainy days back at home．

2.In Para．1，cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that ______．

A．they are not good cities in climate．

B．how rich their residents are．

C．these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots．

D．they have got more tourism than they can handle．

3.According to the passage，which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

A．Italy B．Spain

C．France D．Greece

4.The sentence "one tourist for every person living in Spain" (Para．2 ) means ____．

A．every year the number of tourists is equal to the number of people living in Spain．

B．all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists．

C．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist．

D．every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year．

3. All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you．

Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money．4. , because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door．When it closes, it also opens．5. ．

“Can I hug you?” community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks with a smile as she welcomes me back to her village. “Of course,” I say as I put my arms around her. It’s an unbelievable moment. Just at the height of the outbreak more than a year ago, there was an “avoid body contact” rule here. It’s now been removed.

One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak over the past 18 months is that I haven't been able to touch anyone in the worst-affected countries. When Ebola(埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears describing losing their families, I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.

The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on 7 November. I returned for the celebrations. But despite reaching this long-awaited milestone, all is not well.

Ibrahim Koroma, 21, clings to (紧紧抓住) his survivor's certificate (证明) outside the home. All 17 of his family are now dead. The certificate is one of his most prized possessions. "He does not pose any risk to the community" it reads.

Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in one of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year. He says he doesn't know what he'll do after that. He does some part-time work, relying heavily on help from neighbors. His two little sisters and little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps. He says he often lies awake thinking about them, feeling very bad.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record. In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths and a few hundred survivors. It was thought Ebola could live for only three months. But research has now shown it can linger for at least nine months. Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.

1.When interviewing Ebola survivors the author _______.

A. couldn’t touch them with hands.

B. kept comforting them with hands

C. held their hands to show sympathy

D. couldn’t help comforting them with hands

2. Ibrahim Koroma values his certificate because it_________

A. is a sign of his contributions

B. shows he is a healthy person

C. has been the only one for patients so far

D. is a great honor to have it in his village

3.We can learn from the passage that___________

A. Ebola can only survive a few days

B. Ibrahim’s neighbours treat him badly

C. Ebola still influences Ibrahim’s life

D. there were once 17 people in Ibrahim’s family
