Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a successful businessman for life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
Pedley admits that he has not always led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit(追求）of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting,” says Pedley.
But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook (观点）on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing thanked me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.
Now Pedley is selling his business, his $ 1. 5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car—and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors， offices, too.
Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health and education facilities (设备）for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents due to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.

A family in Florida had a happy Christmas this year thanks to two local police officers, who answered a 911 call only to discover there was no emergency at all.

Teenagers earning money
In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn some spending money. Here are a few ideas.
Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies，but they don’t want to leave their children alone. 1 If the children go to bed early，you can do some of your homework!
Some adults have a dog, but they don’t have time to take it for a walk. 2 So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It’s a good idea—you earn money and you’re outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!
Teenagers can deliver newspapers. You usually ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave a newspaper at each house. 3 You have to get up early, too, because people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.
4 Some companies pay teens to do online research. They want to know what teens are interested in. It’s a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or adults.
Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow (修與）their lawns. It，s a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. 5 Then you have regular customers，because grass always grows!

III. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国的万里长城。
1. was listed考查动词的时态和语态。句意：中国长城于1987 年被联合国教科文组织列人世界文化遗产。The Great Wall of China与list之间为被动关系，由in 1987可知用一般过去时， 故此处应使用一般过去时的被动语态。
2. like考查介词。句意:它就像一条巨龙，在沙漠、草原和山脉上蜿蜒起伏……。like“像”，符合句意。
3. winds考查时态和主谓一致。此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语是it，故填winds。
4. joined考查非谓语动词。句意：是秦始皇把这些墙连接起来厂。have sth. done“让某事被做”。故填过去分词形式。
5. the考查冠词。句意:这个工程耗资巨大，几十万人在城墙上工作。此处表特指，应使用定冠词。
6. to walk考查不定式。句意:……它的宽度足够五匹马或十个人并排走。It is+adj. +for sb. to do sth. 表示“对某人来说做 某事是……的”，因此设空处需用动词不定式。
7. where考查定语从句。句意:沿着城墙有瞭望塔，士兵们过去常在那里放哨。此处先行词是watchtowers,设空处引导定语从句且在从句中作地点状语，所以应用关系副词where。
8. attractive考查词性转换。句意：然而，它仍然是世界各地最吸引人的地方之一. . . . . . 。attractive表示“吸引人的”，在此处修饰名词spots。
9. importance考查词性转换。句意：. . . . . . 因为它的历史重要性。historical是形容词，修饰名词。importance意为“重要性”。
10. is 考查主谓一致。who does not reach the Great Wall 是修饰主语He的定语从句，且本句话为通用谚语，因此谓语动词 应使用第三人称单数形式is。
