One spring, when I was 10, during one of my father’s layoffs (失业), I could tell my mother was unhappy. I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.

One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions (时尚) and styles. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present.

“Do you think she’d like a purse?” she asked. I told her. I thought she might.

She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.

“How much money do you have?” she asked.

“Twelve dollars,” I said.

“You’re in luck,” she told me. “It’s only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card.” She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.

When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did you get this?”

“I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said.

My mother was shocked into silence.

It wasn’t until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.

“You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said, “Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I’ll never forget.”

Kelly Payton's fifth grade students might read newspaper articles about immigration or Syrian refugees(难民) or climate change. Sometimes they read the same stories, and other times they're instructed to go online and like other readers, click on the headlines that most appeal to them.

By reading current stories about the concerns of others, Payton, a teacher at a public school, has noticed her students developing more empathy(共鸣).

That was the goal of “A Mile in Our Shoes” a new program from Newsela, which takes content from a variety of believable news sources like the Associated Press, The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, and rewrites the articles at five reading levels to make reading news accessible to all ages.

“ Relevance means so much to students,” Gross said. "When students feel as though a topic is related they perform better on standardized tests. It doesn't mean we throw out historical documents, but ii brings it much more to life when you can tic it to things in their lives and the communities around them.”

So in 2013, Gross developed an interactive platform, used by about 1 million teachers across America, where kids from grades 2-12 could read content that is interesting and understandable. For example, here’s two versions about sanctuary(庇护）cities.

The original story began: Ignoring fresh threats from the White House, city leaders across the U.S. are promising to strengthen their fight against President Donald Trump's promised crackdown on so-called “sanctuary cities" despite the financial risks.

The version rewritten for the lowest reading level began: Some U.S. cities are very welcoming when it comes to immigration(移民). Many cities have become “sanctuary cities.” These cities allow immigrants. They are welcome even if they do not have permission to live in the United States.

Adding this to Newscla wasn’t intended to be political, Gross said, but was a response to concerns he heard from teachers after the election that their students weren’t getting exposure to different opinions. Instead, kids were repeating what they heard at home from parents.

1.What might Kelly Payton's fifth grade students do?

A. Read news stories about global warning.

B. Make an attempt to protect Syrian refugees.

C. Go online to write comments on immigration.

D. Share some appealing headlines on the Internet.

2.What is the goal of “A Mile in Our Shoes''?

A. To improve students' listening ability.

B. To rewrite newspapers for all students.

C. To cooperate with some news sources.

D. To help students understand others’ feelings.

3.Why did Gross develop an interactive platform in 2013?

A. Because it could help students’ health.

B. Because students could make friends.

C. Because 1 million teachers could buy it.

D. Because it may be beneficial to students' lives.

4.Which of the following is Newsela' intention by rewriting the original story?

A. Train students to be political.

B. Appeal to the teachers’ attention.

C. Expose students to different views.

D. Have students repeal parents’ views.

China's "Little People's Kingdom" is a theme park, where little people dance and sing in fairytale costumes, drawing both curious groups and criticism. The theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108 dwarfs from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to dance and sing for tourists. And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.

The guests can watch shows like comedies, group dance and acrobatics. The show's centerpiece, a funny performance of Swan Lake, sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be little swans.” The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed. I had never worn a skirt like that before. But later, once I got used to it, I found I could do it very well,” said Chen Ruan, 21 ,from Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.

For many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake, they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences. In addition, the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs. Besides, performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a month, around twice the salary of a high school graduate.

The founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and investing, but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community. People, like human right activists for the disabled, think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people. The only requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life. The youngest employee is 18,and the oldest 48.

1.According to Chen Ming, he founded the park to _____.

A. do good for society

B. invest money and increase his fortune

Golf is big business in America,with a total economy estimated at nearly 70 billion dollars.The U.S.is also the world's biggest market for golf equipment,according to a report from Golf Datatech.The other top countries are Japan,South Korea,United Kingdom,Canada and China.But the industry is working on ways to make golf more appealing,especially to young Americans.

The CEO of the U.S.-based World Golf Foundation,Steve Mona,believes the current state of golf is healthy and stable.His group says about 20 million Americans regularly play the game.But Mona also sees the need for change,to get more people to discover and play golf.He said the industry has focused on ways to make the game faster,more playable and fun.

Some golf courses have expanded fairways（球道）so golfers have less chance of losing balls in water or trees. Others move up the starting point for young or new players,so they are closer to the hole.

Some new courses also have fewer obstacles than in the past,such as water ponds or sand traps.And the area near the hole is sometimes designed flatter,to keep the ball from rolling too much.

These changes could also attract adult golfers who want to play a faster,less difficult game.But with young people,Mona said it is important to get them interested at an early age.

Drive,Chip and Putting Championship

One program to do this is the Drive,Chip and Putting Championship,for girls and boys.

The name of the competition refers to golf's three main skills.Driving is when a golfer hits the ball far at the start of the game.A chip is a much shorter shot,usually taken close to the hole.Putting refers to hitting the ball softly in the area near the hole,called the green.

Junior Golf Champions

Girls and boys from all 50 U.S. states compete in the championship.Organizers say the program has been one of the best ways to bring young people to golf.But Mona said it is not enough just to get people interested."The challenge for us in the golf industry is we have to change interest into trial,"he said."And then change trial into actual participation in the game."

Sam Schmitz is studying professional golf management at Eastern Kentucky University.He also believes speeding up the game will get more people to try golf."For the younger generation,the biggest complaint about golf is how long it takes,"he said.A full game can last four hours.
