I'd appreciate it if you could assist me to get my precious camera back．Thank you very much．

10．Meet Ben Saunders：adventurer，athlete，motivational speaker．Ben，at the age of 23，was the youngest man to ski solo （单人滑雪） to the North Pole．He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge （雪橇） over 1，420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions．This year，as well as planning a return to the Arctic，Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn，carrying all his supplies on his sledge．
Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure．"Everything that could go wrong did go wrong．We were attacked by a bear．We started running out of food．It was just desperate．And we didn't get to the Pole； we didn't get there，so we had no media interest．No one heard about it：no book deal，and no speaking．I was so unhappy．"
People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole．I said，"No，I can get there，"and I did．Self-belief，I see it as being a bit like a muscle-it's my belief that the more you stretch （伸展） yourself，the stronger it gets．If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker．So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way．The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief．
"My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me．If I kne w it was possible，if I knew I could do it without too much bother，I wouldn't be interested．"Why？"Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it．Not that long ago，running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt，and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year．"
People's horizons （见识） are changing．"I'm not particularly gifted，and I'm absolutely average．I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it．That's it．And that's the thing that attracts me：with enough training and enough determination，enough focus and preparation，how far can we go？And I don't think I've found out yet．"

A．It was supported by his company．

17．Martha Graham，born in 1894，was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance，whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts，Stravinsky had on music，or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture．She created almost two hundred dance pieces．She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance．
Earlier in her life，however，Martha did not know that she would become a dancer．At that time，the dancers were looked down on．So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning．Until 1916，she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts，founded by Ruth St．Denis and Ted Shawn，where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing．
In 1936，Graham made her defining work，"Chronicle"，which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance．The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner．Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929，the Great Depression that followed，and the Spanish Civil War，it focused on depression and isolation，reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes．（服装）
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy．Once again，she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows．But she didn't give up．Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag．"A Dancer's World"is an introduction to Graham and her work．She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods．Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime，including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventy-six．She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian  honor．She died in 1991at the age of ninety-six．In 1998，Time magazine listed her as the"Dancer of the Century"and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century．

B．American dance was seen as a lower art form．
C．There was no academic school to teach dancing．
D．Her family was too poor to afford her tuition．

7．When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the make-A-Wish Foundation，nobody understood what she was talking about．But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends．We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia listen to what she had to say．
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980．"It's a charity that helps children who have got very serious illnesses．Make-A-Wish help children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，"Sophia explained．
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started．She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had dreamed for a long time of becoming a policeman．Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true--so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a"policeman"for a day．"When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，"explained Sophia．
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time．A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if  they could have anything i n the world．Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true．They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can．

During the weekend I traveled by air the first time in my life．I generally travel by train and bus．It is both cheaper and safe．But this was a short journey．In the beginning I did not feel very happily，but this feeling did not last longer．The journey was very exciting．I was soon high up in the sky among the cloud．The views of mountains，fields and rivers were interested．I enjoyed my short and comfortably journey very much．This experience has shown that traveling in air is actually the safest way of make journeys．
12．When we give our kids holiday gifts，many of us can't wait to hear their appreciative cries of"thank you!"once the wrapping gets ripped off．But here's a tip：You'd be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive．
Gratitude can make us happier，healthier，and even fitter．But do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them？All the research I've done has convinced me that it won't happen．One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cell phone，he said，"But that's what moms should do．"From a teenager's angle，it's a parent's responsibility to take care of the family．According to Dunham，Yale's assistant professor of psychology，"When teenagers code it that way，a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily"-it's just mom and dad living up to their obligation．
Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something．But kids can't know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison．And they don't learn that by a parent complaining that they're ungrateful．We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view．Show by example that gratitude isn't about stuff-which ultimately can't make any of us happy anyway．It's about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward．
You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them．You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how it's distributed．Once the conversation about gratitude gets started，it's much easier to continue all year．Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful．When kids go off to college，you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation．
Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them．And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren't on sale at a department store．

32．How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents？D
A．They show no interest in their parents'gifts．
B．They can't wait to open their parents'gifts．
C．They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts．
D．They take their parents'gifts for granted．
33．To make children grateful for what they have，parents shouldC．
A．live up to their obligation
B．ask their children to have good manners
C．teach their children by setting an example
D．complain their children are ungrateful
34．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs？A
A．No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful．
B．Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents．
C．Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own money
D．It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude．
35．What's the purpose of the author writing this text？B
A．To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents．
B．To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude．
C．To encourage parents to do things together with their children．
D．To remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children．

I was walking to school this morning while I saw the old woman with a walking stick lying on the ground．I quickly run over to help her up and asked her what was wrong for her．She told me she slipped and fell due to suddenly heart trouble．I was worried and decided to take him to a hospital．And then I went a department store near the hospital and contacted her family．Soon her son and daughter came to the hospital．They thanked me for my kind by writing me a thank-you letter．Although I was late for school today，but I felt very proud of that I had done．
