of the love between Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Before it came out, people was
expected to know what this "pure (纯洁的) beauty"could be. ②Director ZhangYimou complained of how
long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu-an innocent (纯真的)character.
③It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has
"eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born to a common worker"s family, ④the Shijiazhuang
girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
People are impressed with Zhou for a performance that they say is so clear.
"If you have fair skin and clear eyes, as Jingqiu does, it is easy to look pure. Girls today wear so many
accessories and make-up."said Du Yanlai, 17 of Chengdu.
While some teenagers consider it difficult to be such a "pure" beauty, others believe that it speaks of
something from hearts
Mo Diya, 16, of Shenzhen thought that purity isn"t a matter of physical beauty but of whether someone
is "easygoing, honest and friendly".
Purity is all about an innocence that shines through from inside, thinks 16-yaer-old Tan Mengxi of
Nanjing.
"Being pure can be simple, not having different kinds of thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it
doesn"t mean a foolish or na?ve person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always active
and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn"t pass with time," she said.
Chen Haocheng, 16, from Shanghai, thinks that the love between Jingqiu and Laosan in the movie is also
pure.
"Their love is simple and can last long, without any selfish or material side," he said. | 1. 根据①处完成下面的句子。（每空一词）

They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars and discos (迪斯科舞厅). So some of
them still do. But for many young people, life is harder now. Jobs are difficult to find. There is not so much
money around. Food and clothes are more expensive, and it is hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say
that students work harder than they used to.
Most young people worry more about money than their parents did 20 years ago. They try to spend less
and save more. They want to get homes of their own one day.
For some, the result of unemployment (失业) is to leave home and look for jobs in one of the Britain"s big
cities. Every day hundreds of young people arrive in London from other parts of Britain, looking for jobs,
only a few find and stay. Most of them don"t find jobs, and go home again. | | The situations of teenagers in Britain | | 阅读理解。 | Children all over the world like to celebrate their birthdays. American children are of no 1 . American

many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment (家具齐全的公寓) or to buy
used furniture (家具). But they soon learned that the renting (出租) of home furnishings (beds, tables, dishes,
and so on) has become one of America"s fastest growing business.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people:
international businessmen,government officers, airline workers, young married couples--the people whose jobs
may make them move frequently (频繁地) from one city (or country) to another. They saved the trouble and
cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.
Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They
prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile (另一方面), they
find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, 1ike their rented furniture so much that

TEPETITAN, EL SALVADOR- Evinor Mira is only sixteen years old, but he is working as hard as an
adult man to help his family get a good house. Evinor lives with his mother and his little brother and sister in
Tepetitan, EL Salvador. His father is dead, and the family is very poor. Their house is a small one of mud
(泥土) and sticks, so Evinor is working with an organization called Habitat for Humanity to build a new home.
Habitat for Humanity helps people who need houses but do not have much money. Each family buys the
house through monthly payments (每月付款). Their payments help build more houses because banks can then
lend money to other families. Habitat for Humanity volunteers help to build the house, but the families must do
a lot of the work themselves.
Every morning, Evinor begins at 7:00. He and the volunteer workers from Habitat carry boards (木板),
pound nails (敲钉子), and pour concrete (混凝土) all day, six days a week. The other workers can go home
and rest at 4:00 p.m., but Evinor"s day isn"t over. He rides on a bus for forty minutes to go to school in another
town. He is in high school and attends classes for four hours every evening. At 9:00 p.m. he has to walk two
and a half hours to get home because there aren"t any buses so late at night. Around 11:30 p.m. he arrives
home and does his homework. On Sundays, Evinor works with the Habitat organization to help other families
get houses, too.
Evinor does not have the easy life of many teenagers, but he doesn"t mind working so hard. He is proud
that he can help his own family and others in his community (社区) to have better lives. | 1. _______ people living with Evinor in the small house in Tepetitan now.
