　　Ellie Wen, 18, was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles．The center was set up to help immigrant(移民的)families．She happened to meet adults in an EFL(English as a foreign language)class．“When I saw them struggling hard, I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English, ” Ellie said．

　　So she started a Website, “Repeat After Us”, where people can listen to English and practice their accents．Volunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6, 600 texts, including Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address”．

　　Hard work pays off．There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged, but she stuck to it．The Website crashed early on, and all the recordings were lost．But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over, and the visitors returned to the site．

　　“Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind．Even if you do have trouble, people will help you, ” Ellie said．

　　We have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions(情感)towards other people：love and its opposite, hate．Love can be seen everywhere．Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear．The reason for this may be twofold．First, love is a very complex(复杂的)emotion, difficult to describe and measure．Secondly, unlike many extreme emotions, extreme love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it．

　　What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer．Love is a lasting, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing．But it is more than this．It also includes feelings of caring, protection and excitement．When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other's company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another．

　　Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love：“puppy” love, romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth．Though they differ in some respects, they share one important characteristic：a strong positive feeling toward another．

　　Our feelings toward other people are often complex．We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him．Or we may love someone, even though we envy him．We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for some specific reason．Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, or some other factor．Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion．It can also be very dangerous．The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no．” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others．However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones．

none of the above

compared with other kinds of emotions, love is not so important

the study of love needs great effort and advanced scientific research

love is harmless and too complex for description

     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
(单独) around the world.
     The 17yearold made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal (巴拿马运河) and then sailed
through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.
     Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17yearold American boy who had taken
the crown as the youngest solo aroundtheworld 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 (竞争对手). "No. It's two teenagers going out there, living
their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime," he said.
   Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at age 6 when
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 60foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees," 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 30second dives underneath (在……之下) 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.
