【题目】 Chinese has a history of thousands of years. But Pinyin doesn't. It tells people how to pronounce(发音) Chinese characters. This year, Pinyin turns 60 years old.

In 1958, Chinese linguist(语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team created Pinyin. Before that, Chinese people used many other ways to show how to pronounce Chinese characters. But these ways are not as easy to use as Pinyin. Because of Pinyin, more people learn how to read.

Pinyin is a big part of our daily life. We learn to speak Putonghua with the help of Pinyin. We write Chinese characters on computers by using Pinyin.

Pinyin is young. But it is now very popular outside China. It is becoming a bridge between China and the world. Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning Pinyin. You might say nihao to mean hello” to a foreign friend.

Teenagers enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of first and second year high school students said they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent have posted their own videos, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association.

【题目】 Maria Rose Belding grew up working in the food bank in her community(社区) to help the poor. As she grew older, Belding knew that feeding the hungry wasn't as easy as it should be. The food bank was filled with some foods but was short of other truly needed foods.

In 2009, when she was 14, the food bank got lots of bread that was more than the community could use, and she saw how difficult it was to find other communities that could take it. At the same time the food bank was short of cheese.

Months later, she had to throw away hundreds of boxes as people in other communities might wait in line for food.

Belding had found two problems about food that still troubled the US. More than 40 million Americans don't have enough food to eat while up to 40% of the country's food is wasted(浪费).

In high school, she had an idea for an online platform(平台) that could help with both problems, but she wasn't able to make it work.

About nine months later, with the help of her friend, she successfully created MEANS. It is a free online platform that can help to send food to the people in need.

Since 2015, MEANS has helped to make sure that more than 1.8 million pounds of unwanted food get to hungry Americans.

【题目】阅读理解
  Do Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Justine Henin have anything in common with people like us? You probably answer “NO! ”.
It seems that top athletes live in a world that is completely different from ours. However, if we could see into their minds, it would be clear that they are actually just like us.
Just how an athlete becomes a success means examples for us all. To achieve their goals, sportsmen ______ have to prepare physically, ______ mentally(内心地). They have to get to know themselves, manage stress and develop their powers of concentration(专注). So they can put all their efforts into their events.
We may not be sports stars ourselves, 但是我们不得不面对相同的问题. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal development. We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates and teachers.
Like sportsmen, we try to be mentally strong and give our best. Only few of us will be competing in the Olympic Games. But, all the same, there is much we share with sports heroes. Just like athletes, how we feel influences our decisions, behavior and achievements.
Top athletes show us that success isn't simply down to chance. We can control the direction of our life's journey.
