      I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People
to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other
cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by
former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.
     I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated
(推荐) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application
process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.
     That"s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to
prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in
the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising
began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people"s
mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and
washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined,
Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!
     Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase
seems to have shrunk (收缩) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline
regulations (规定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44
pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes
into such a small space seemed an impossible task. However, I have lessened my load and
my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from
a slightly bloated (臃肿) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.
     I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what
lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!

1. When does the author write the passage?______A. Before leaving for Australia.
B. Several months before the journey.
C. Just hours after reaching the destination.
D. The night when she was accepted.2. Which of the following is not the aim of People to People program?______A. To promote peace through understanding.
B. To collect money for traveling.
C. To make American culture known to others.
D. To learn about other cultures.3. Which is the correct order of the author" preparation for the journey?______a. being accepted as a member
b. raising money for the trip
c. attending a meeting about the program
d. packing belongings
e. being nominated by the teacher
A. e, a, b, c, d
B. a, c, e, d, b
C. e, c, a, d, b
D. e, c, a, b, d4. What does the author think of the journey?_____A. It could be a tiring expensive journey.
B. It could be long-lasting journey, which needs taking all daily necessities.
C. It could be an exciting, unforgettable journey.
D. It could be an overseas journey, during which she would experience hard labor.

     Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if
countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:
that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.
There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done
little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only were there the
incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents
caused principally by minor national contests.
     One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There
had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,with the losers objecting to the final decisions.
They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents"
victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said,"This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the
International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such
behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
     The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a
disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United
States had won by a point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian
player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the
basket.It was the first time that the US had ever  lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury
(评审委员会)  debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that  the result would
stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
     Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love
of the game.The suggestion  that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might
be too much to hope for.But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages
aggressive patriotism (爱国主义)．

1．The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have________.A．showed little international friendship
B．greatly encouraged international brotherhood
C．created goodwill between the nations
D．created only misunderstanding and hatred2．What did the manager mean by saying "This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey
Federation are finished"?A．This is not a standard hockey match.
B．The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.
C．His team would not enter the game in three years.
D．The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.3．The basketball match showed that________.A．aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident
B．the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds
C．the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision
D．the American team should have taken the first place4．The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that________.A．contests often end in disorder
B．no contests are fair in Olympic Games
C．competition discourages international friendship
D．unfair decisions are common in sports5．Which statement best summarizes this passage?A．Athletes should compete as individuals.
B．The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
C．Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.
D．Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.

     Friendship and friends continue to be the centre of our life. The relationship that we share with our
friends is grounded in mutual (相互的) care as our friends help us in shaping our personalities as well.
Even in this age of online social networking and e-cards, the need of keeping the network of friends,

make fun of him or her.

share his or her experiences and  it is necessary for you to develop a habit to see things from the other
person"s point of view.
     The third or final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement
towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend.

give, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be successful.1. The underlined word "shaping" (in Paragraph 1) means "________".A. forming
