In June 2013 a five-year-old boy, Toby, was walking home from school thinking about the long summer ahead. Money was tight that year and Toby’s parents had told him they would not be able to afford a holiday.

Instead of dreaming about foreign travel, he had been reading a book, Letter to New Zealand, where the author explains what happens in an envelope’s journey from England to the other side of the world. As they neared their house, Toby asked his mum, Sabine, if he could write a letter to New Zealand. After a few more steps he was struck by an even better idea. “Can I write a letter to every country in the world?”

Sabine says she often wonders what would have happened if she had replied differently that day. “It was just one of those typical questions that five-year-olds have,” she says. “ If he had asked me in the evening when I was tired, I might have refused. But as parents you realize there’s a lot of power in just allowing kids to have a go. Also, it seemed a nice way to do some armchair exploration. So I told him” Let’s see how far you get.”

The answer was very far indeed. Toby has since written and posted letters to all 193 UN mumber states, as well as numerous other bad-conditioned areas with comforting ones.

To date he has written 681 letters- the best of which have been selected to appear in a new book called Dear World, How Are You?- although so productive is Toby’ pen that the number will have risen by the time you read this.

“Writing these letters has made me realize that the world isn’t actually all that big,” he says with a grin.

In the future, part of him would like to be a musical director to turn his beloved Star Wars into a ballet. Of course, he also hopes to travel the globe in person to see some of the countries where his letters have ended up.

“We’re so lucky to have this wonderful world, and I hope we can live on planet Earth in peace.”

1. Why did Toby want to write letters to other countries?

A. He was good at writing.

B. He was eager to go abroad.

C. He got inspired by a book.

D. He wanted others to help his family.

2.From Toby’s mother’s words, we know that at first____.

A. she thought her son’s idea was of no value

B. she got tired of her son’s request

C. she believed her son would succeed

D. she thought she should give her son a try

3.What’s the influence of writing letters to Toby?

A. He has traveled to 193 UN number states.

B. He understands more about the world.

C. He becomes productive in writing stories.

D. He has to put his letters into a book.

4.How can we describe Toby?

A. Clever and persistent.

B. Ambitious and kind-hearted.

C. Hardworking and humorous.

D. Brave and strong-willed.

“Tiger Mother” parenting raises media storm. A new book written by a self-described Chinese descent(血统) on her super-strict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.

Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls. She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent. In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power. In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleep-over，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games. They couldn’t choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments. She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says “would never happen”—there would be a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.

Many people have criticized Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive. She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.

Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.

Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington’s Bothell campus said, “I don’t think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style, or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准) of a good life. But I can imagine how strong her daughters’ college applications are going to be. For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the US-based Heraldnet.com.“In that sense，a young adult’s giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.

1.According to the passage, which is TRUE of Amy Chua?

A．She is an easy-going woman.

B．She is an assistant professor.

C．She is a demanding parent.

D．She is a cruel teacher.

2.Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?

A．Playing the piano.

B．Playing the guitar.

C．Dating with boys.

D．Getting an A minus.

3.Stacy DeBroff advised parents to ________.

A．seek a better future for their children

B．develop their own style of parenting

C．be strict with their children

D．follow Amy Chua’s parenting style

4.Alison Lo concluded that ________.

A．persistent, dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting style

B．parents should respect children’s personalities

C．a gifted child was born with talent

D．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parenting

“Selfie” may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect，so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months，its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent， said Oxford dictionaries. However，its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.

According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself， often from a smart phone， and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures， sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions，such as large smiles or puckered lips（噘嘴）.

Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do， and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful？ In that one picture，somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society，we are so crazy about being perfect. But perhaps， with that one selfie，we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsome，beautiful，confident，smart，happy，and content. For that moment，everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased，for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.

A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask you what you love，the answers will most likely roll of your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds，music…your mom，your brother，your sister，your daughter，your best friend，your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said，“I love myself.”？

The poem hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. And I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However，the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”

1.According to the writer, we live in a society where ________.

A. selfie leads to success

B. a good image decides one’s status

C. one’s poor performance can be erased

D. being perfect is highly valued

2.The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies ________.

A. our pleasure to enjoy beauty

B. our need to love people around us

C. our tendency to ignore ourselves

D. our real love to share with others

3.What does the underlined word “credit” in the last paragraph mean?

A. praise B. grade C. trust D. fame

4.In the writer’s opinion, selfie ________.

A. brings about people’s sense of confidence

B. is merely popular among teenagers

C. tells the true meaning of life

D. is an annoying phenomenon on the Internet

On Saturday 17 September 2016, you may catch sight of hundreds of apes(猩猩) running around the streets of London. They’ll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie, you’ll probably think. But in fact, when the starter’s pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8km in gorilla costumes through the capital’s streets, passing such iconic landmarks as The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa.

Unusual charity events such as these are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, you’re looking to really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you’ve been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10 to 12-mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage. It’s more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised £5 million.

But fundraising doesn’t have to involve physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber’s song ‘Baby’ over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song. They needed to raise $1,000 in one week to achieve this. Beyond expectations, they exceeded(超过) the goal within three days. Even teachers chipped in.

If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September, you only have to pay £60 to register. This includes the gorilla suit, which you can keep. If you take part, not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat, you’ll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!

1.What is the Great Gorilla Run held for?

A. To film a new Planet of the Apes

B. To collect money for Central Africa

C. To make a study of the origin of man

D. To enjoy famous senic spots in London

2.What can we learn about the Tough Mudder?

A. It is disgusting B. It is unique

C. It is competitive D. It is challenging

3.What does the phrase “chipped in” in the third paragraph refer to?

A. Joined in singing

B. Made a contribution

C. Scolded the organizers

D. Interrupted the activity

4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. Going Crazy for Charity!

B. Protecting Our Rare Animals!

C. Competing in Unusual Events!

D. Watching Out for Aggressive Animals!
