16．I am a single working mother and going to college for a better life for my three-year-old child and myself．I am taking a nurse course called"Urban Community（社区）"．We were asked to do a major project on problems in urban communities．I chose the topic"Homeless"．
Each day I would walk down the streets of the homeless and offer them something to drink and to eat．I know it's tough to survive on the streets．Last night I ran into a group of 30kids who were living on the streets in New York． My heart went out to them and I just wanted to cry．But I had to be strong．
I asked about their families and if they contacted them to let them know they were alive．Most of them said，"NO!"They all looked like a happy family and they took care of one another．I tried to persuade them to get help and to contact their families but they did not want to．I did not want to make them to do it as they had their own reasons．
All these kids were very respectful．None of them was high on drugs nor were they drinking．Some of them enjoyed reading and writing．Some of them enjoyed skateboarding，dancing and playing music．
One girl asked me if I could give her a hug and I did so．She started to cry and said，"Thank you for not treating us as freaks（怪人）like everyone else does．People don't realize that we all have our own problems and some are worse than others．"She told me that her stepfather （继父） was extremely mean to her and her mother did not believe her．She ran away．Her street name was Little Mary．
They were good kids just trying to make ends meet．I told them that I didn't have much to offer because I was a single mother just making ends meet．I had offered them sandwiches and drinks．They were so happy to have something to eat and told me that I couldn't change the world but at least there was someone who really cared．

15．We were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas，running low on gas somewhere in New Mexico and figured we'd see a gas station soon enough to fill up．
But that didn't happen and we realized we wouldn't make it to the next town．So my daughter made up a sign that read"Low on gas．Can u help？"and held it outside her window in the hopes that a driver in the next lane would notice it and stop．
There weren't too many vehicles passing us either at the time．It was a lonely stretch of road and about 3：30pm on a weekday．A suburban was driving along happily in the neighboring lane ahead of us．We caught up with it in the hopes the driver would notice the sign．After a brief expression of confusion on his face，he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over．We pulled over right behind him．
He was friendly and was eager to help us．At first he thought we didn't have enough money to buy gas，so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10miles away!
When we explained our predicament of not having enough gas to get to Roswell，he said his farm was about 1 0minutes away and they had a gas pump there，so if we could give him 20minutes，he would head back there，get a can of gas and fill up our tank for us．
We could not believe our good fortune!There not being any cell phone reception for either of us in the area，we had just hoped that whoever stopped to help would be kind enough to call AAA when they got to Roswell and we would just wait it out for them to help us．
We were filled with gratefulness for the kindness of strangers such as this person as we waited for him to return．Sure enough，he was back with the can and quickly filled our tank．He refused to take payment for the gas．Tears flowed，as did our endless appreciation．

14．下学期，你们学校将引进一名新的外教，学校针对需要引进什么样的外教，以及如何利用好外教资源向在校师生广泛征求意见．请你以学生李敏的名义，给负责该项目的黄老师写一封电子邮件，提出你的建议，并陈述理由．邮件须包含以下内容：
•你对引进什么样外教的建议及理由；
•你对如何利用好外教资源的建议及理由．
Dear Mr．Huang，
I'm a student of senior three and myname is Li Min．Knowing that you are taking charge of the recruit of a foreignteacher for our school，I'm now writing to you to state some of my opinionsabout this matter．
With regard to the qualities of theforeign teacher，there are two aspects that we should place great importanceon．First of all，being humorous and imaginative are necessary for the teacher，which enable the class to be enjoyable and lively．For another，tomaintain the efficiency of teaching and learning，the foreigner's abilitytospeak Chinese is important，since it is certain that sometimes students cannotexpress themselves in English．
So as tomake full use of the foreign teacher resources，a variety of outdooractivities，such as English Evening and English Corner，can be held by theforeign language teacher，which provides the students with more opportunitiesto communicate with the teacher and to improve their oral English．
I will bedelighted if you can take my advice into account．Thank you．
Sincerely Yours，
Li Min

10．Big storms．High waves．Technical failures．Loneliness．After battling hard times and danger for over nine months，British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world．
The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic．
Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland，the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July．
The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions．Mike insisted they were not rival．"No．It's two teenagers going out there，living their dream and having the adventure of a life time．"he said．
Mike may be young，but he is no stranger to sailing adventures．He picked up the hobby at age 6when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake．Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14，making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo．That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge．
On the recent journey，the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean．
"We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90degrees，"he said．
"It felt like I was going right over．Stuff was flying around and I just thought‘Oh no'．"
At other times，he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems．He tied himself to the boat，jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away．
Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true．"You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it，"he said．

56．Which canal did Mike Perham cross？（No more than 3words）thePanamaCanal．
57．What does the underlined word"taste"in the fifth paragraph mean？（1word）Experience．
58．What did Mike believe in？（No more than 10words）Having confidence in yourself will make you successful．．

Dear editor，
I am sorry'to learn that some students，especially girls，have been reported to have disconnected or been killed after taking a  taxi．To prevent such happenings，I'd like to offer some suggestions to students in terms of taking a taxi safely．
Firstly，before you get into a taxi，you had better check to see whether it's a licensed taxi or an unlicensed one．It's always safer to take a licensed one，although it might be more expensive．Then，you should look at the plate carefully and try to remember it （ so that the driver can be found out，if anything happens）．Thirdly，sit on the seat behind the driver，which is the safest place in the car．Finally，don't bend your head over your mobile phone all the way but keep your eyes on where the driver is going．If you find something wrong，ask the driver to stop the car immediately．
If everyone follows these rules，they won't be taken in easily by bad drivers．
Yours，
Li Jun
