他已经准备好向媒体公布有关这桩丑闻的一切了。

  I have had a strange knock on my front door asking for money for the bus so he could get to the hospital. I have had strangers asking for a donation. I have had strangers at my door looking for work or a ride. And I have managed to say no to just about everybody.

  But when a stranger recently knocked on my door and said he needed a place to live for the summer,I said to my family and friends, "Let's see what we can do."

  Khalil came to the United States from the United Kingdom,where he was a college student,and he had paid quite a bit of money to a company to come to this country and go door-to-door selling books. He had been promised a place to live with a family,but the host family said they had daughters and expected to host two girls,not two boys―Khalil and his workmate,Andy. All the other salesmen had been placed with host families but there was no room for these two. And they were in trouble It was in June. After he knocked on my door,Khalil and I made the rounds of my friends in neighborhood. Did they have room? Did they know anyone who did?

  Back at my house,I made lunch and learned all about Khalil's family. His mother was proud of his decision of coming to America. His mother had cried when he left. He missed his sister;she is his best friend.

  Just as I had predicted,a friend and neighbor took in Khalil and Andy for the summer in return for a very small rent. I know I'm lucky as this story has a happy ending.

 A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina Del Rey on July 16,2009,becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.

Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina Del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 a. m. local time. During his 28,000-nauticaI-mile journey,he braved storms,equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates.

  "It's great to be back," Sunderland,of Thousand Oaks,California,said after he was wel?comed home by a group of friends.

  Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone,according to the American Sail?ing Association,which certified Sunderland's feat.

  He left Marina Del Rey,just south of Los Angeles,on June 14,2008,and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

  His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead in rough seas off Mexico,forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs.

  Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected pirated boat.

  "The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto its deck with a gun to keep them off," said Cilarlie Nobles,executive director of the association.

  Sunderland,who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voy?age,threw the gun away before entering Mexican waters,where it is illegal to carry private fire?arms.

  He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone,and the youngest to date. The previous recordholder was David Dicks of Australia,who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18.

(   ) 1. Which statement about Sunderland's voyage is true?

   A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.

   B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.

   C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.

   A. To avoid the terrible weather.

   B. To delay the time of his return.

   C. To wait for help from his father.

   D. To avoid the intruders.

  You can hardly avoid TV talk shows when you turn on the TV in the daytime. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content,while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

  Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The contents on his show are as surprising as possible. For example,the show takes the forevercommon talk show titles of love,sex,cheating,and hate,to a different level. Clearly,the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society,yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

  Like Jerry Springer,Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top,but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons,managing your work week,to getting to know your neighbors.

  Compared with Oprah,the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured in?to society. Jerry ends every show with a " final word". He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show. Hopefully,this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

  Clean as it is,the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main viewers are middle? class Americans. Most of these people have the time,money,and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer,on the other hand,has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love,rela?tionship,sex,money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.

(   ) 1. Compared with other TV talk shows,both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are         .

   A. more inspiring   B. more popular   C. more positive   D. more negative

(   ) 2. What is the audience's reaction about the social problems that Jerry Springer talks about?

   A. They are interested in them.

   B. They are not ready to face them.

   C. They are cold to them.

   D. They want to get away from them.

(   ) 3. Which of the following topics is a probable one for the Oprah show?

   A. Cheating. B. Drug deal.

   C. Single mum's happy life. D. A traffic accident.

(   ) 4. From the passage we learn that the two talk shows         .

   A. have their own viewers

  As much of Arizona enters an 11th year of drought conditions,the state could experience its driest winter season in centuries. And that has officials worrying about agriculture,water supplies and the threat of wildfires.

  Arizona's mountains are almost bare,with snowpack conditions worse than they were at the same time in 2002―a year that set records as one of the driest in five centuries.

  Rural areas are facing water shortages by early summer if rains don't come.

January and February typically bring much of the snow needed to refill reservoirs (水库) and keep rivers and forests healthy. But a stubborn weather pattern has been leading every storm north of Arizona so far this winter.

  The Salt and Verde rivers' watersheds received just 0. 14 of an inch of rain in November and December,and none has fallen in Phoenix since Oct. 18.

  "I've never seen anything like this," said Larry Martinez,water supply specialist for the Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service. "It's quite shocking to a lot of folks who depend on the snow. There could still be a miracle turnaround;don't underestimate (过低估计) Mother Nature. But the trend doesn't look good for us right now."

  Farmers who draw on smaller rivers and reservoirs could run short this year. The lack of rain will increase the demand for water early in growing seasons,which will further weaken supplies.

  Meanwhile,some experts are already predicting one of the worst wildfire seasons in years around Arizona with a fatal combination of drying trees and driedout grass.

  The State Department of Water Resources had begun meeting with local leaders under a drought plan produced two years ago by a governor's task force.

  The main effect of the dry winter in the Phoenix metropolitan (大都市的) area is an increase in water consumption,say city water departments. Mesa increased its use of Central Arizona Project water by 17% in November and 26% in December.

  Whether cities will be forced to dip into other store depends on the weather for the next two or three months. Forecasters are predicting warm,dry conditions.

   A. In a text book.

   B. In a traveling guide.

   C. In a newspaper.

(   ) 6. The driest winter season in the rural area may result in         .

   A. the precious animal's dying out

   B. the pollution of the farmland

   C. the water shortage in the coming seasons

   D. the laziness of the farmer

(   ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following statements can be learned?

   A. 2002 was the driest year with snowpack condition,which made a record in the history.

   B. The first two months of a year usually bring much of the water needed to keep rivers and forests healthy.

   C. Farmers,although depending on the snow,are not worry about the water shortage at all.

   D. The lack of rain will just have some effect on the winter season,when farmers are growing.

(   ) 8. It can be learnt from the passage that         .

   A. the local governor will make a plan to deal with the drought soon

   B. the driest winter season just has an effect on the rural area

   C. Arizona State could have its driest winter season in centuries

   D. warm,dry conditions would be the best in this area

9. Judging from what we have accomplished during those five years,        we shall reach it. (likely)
