Now that newsrooms are becoming less popular in the US,young people have begun to tell their own stories.

GlobalGirl Media,a nonprofit organization that teaches teenage girls digital storytelling skills,was started by award-winning filmmakers Amie Williams and Meena Nanji in Los Angeles in 2010.

“By giving girls a voice,you introduce a different story,and change the existing one,”said Danny Glover,a member of the GlobalGirl Media advisory board.

“When the camera’s in my hands,I feel like I can’t lose,”Said Cheyenne Grisez,14.“It makes me happy and I feel like I can do anything.”

On the final day of the summer academy in California,Williams worked with Grisez and Camila Prado,15,on a short film about Prado’s fight against an eating disorder.In the film,Prado bravely interviewed her parents and sister about how she was able to beat her depression and eating disorder.This film and others the girls had made were shown to parents and friends on the last day of the academy,celebrating their hard work.

“It’s their story,and nobody knows how to tell it better than they do,”Williams said.

“These girls are from really difficult backgrounds.They feel trapped sometimes.They feel alone.”Williams said.“The camera gives them a way to look at their world in a different way and get out of that feeling.’’

Girls in the program practice their skills and build confidence by going out in the community and interviewing people for the short films.Many of them had no experience,but found they had good storytelling skills.

“I work with these girls.Every day I leave inspired and completely grateful,because I know that.due to the work we're doing with them,things will be better,”said GlobalGirl Media summer academy project director Heather Faison.

On November 15th, 2014, children aged 8 to 12 got together in five cities around the world to participate in the first Global Children’s Designation. The event that was organized by a Dutch company called Unexpect, challenged kids to come up with solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems in a day!

The day began with the kids listening to the various challenges that were related to their particular cities and towns. The teams were then asked to brainstorm about which problem they were going to handle and how. There were so many amazing ideas produced on that day.

While some of the ideas were far from perfect, there were many that could be practical like the smart cars which can ease traffic pressure by telling traffic lights of its arrival and also guiding the drivers to the best possible route(路线).

Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect, says the purpose of the project is to introduce children to skills they probably never learn in class. She says that for most part, schools focus on teaching things that they will most likely never need to know again. She believes that for kids to be successful in the world, they should be learning how to be creative, handle new technologies and deal with unexpected situations.

Though the first global design challenge was relatively small, involving only a few hundred of the two billion youngsters that are bursting with ideas, the next one will be much bigger. That’s because in 2015, Unexpect plans to distribute free tool kits(成套工具) to any school that is interested in hosting their own Children’s Designation Challenge. We can’t wait to see what ideas kids will come up with next.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. kids have to solve given problem

B. only few kids have amazing ideas

C. kids have to solve the problem separately

D. kids are free to choose to solve any problem

2.What does the project of Unexpect aim to do?

A. To improve school education.

B. To share achievements of technologies.

C. To develop children’s creativity.

D. To predict some unexpected situations.

3.What will Emer plan to do to make the next global design challenge bigger?

A. Reward children with much more money

B. Call on schools to teach some common skills

C. Provide more schools with some tools for free

D. Invite all schools to participate in the project

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Children’s crazy ideas for the country

B. The first Global Children’s Designation

C. Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect

D. How to solve the world’s urgent problems

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity(亲密) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

A good book is often the best urn(瓮)of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift(筛) out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed(加以防腐处理) in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens.
