Most people can't live to 100. Those who do live so long can hardly walk, let
alone take part in any activities. A few people, however, take part in dangerous
activities even though they are more than 100 years old - They keep going and go
ing! There is a great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 1
01 years old this year.
Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importa
ntly, take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can. So, instea
d of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party, she decided to go paragl
iding（滑翔跳伞）—an idea she got from her 75 - year - old son who recently took
it up as a hobby.
So on her birthday, cheered on by her big family, she tied herself up togethe
r with expert instructor Kevin Hintze, and jumped down fearlessly from the sky ne
ar her home in Ogden, Utah. And, it was not just a simple jump either. According
to Kevin Hintze, the grandmother encouraged him to turn around, as they made thei
r way down.
This is not the first time that Mary has done something "wild" and "crazy". F
or her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland. And, she is not
done yet—For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3,000 feet Alpine Slide
at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!

C
My home is in Demonton near a river valley. It is a beautiful area that has b
een made into a park with meters of hiking trails（小路）along the river.
One day I discovered a trail I had never seen before. It was extremely steep
（陡峭的）and very slippery as it was covered with ice. I was alone at the time an
d even though I was terrified, I still wanted to go for a walk. Just this thought
made my heart beat faster. I shook, not from the cold, although it was probably
around -15℃, but from the fear. I knew I had to do it.
I moved forward slowly and put one foot on the trail, then the other. Thus I
continued, one foot in front of the other I went very slowly down the trail, shak
ing with every step. I was sweating despite my cold. I had no idea how long it wo
uld take me to travel along the trail, but I didn't care. I just wanted to conque
r（征服）my fear.
At last, I succeeded! At least that's how I felt. I nearly ran down the trail.
Well, not exactly ran, but it felt like that compare with my extremely slow spee
d in the beginning.
Maybe you don't think this is much of a story, but I just want to tell you th
at we never know what's around the corner. If you compare this story to life, you

Every morning, many girls in Zimbabwe rise with the sun and follow their da
ily routine to fetch water for their families. They have to walk many miles and
carry the water home on their heads. Where they live, there is no running wat
er at all.
"You have to relax your neck and head and make it follow the load," one gir
l told me. "It's easy for you to do that if you have mastered some skills." I h
ave lived in Zimbabwe all my life. But I had never tried to balance a pot on my
head. I have made efforts many times and I have also practiced it for a long t
ime. But it was not easy at all. I managed to walk only a couple of yards befor
e the pot fell off my head. The girls watching covered their mouths and giggled
at my poor head-balancing skills.
In reality, water is not the only thing that requires head-balancing skills
in their daily life. In most of these villages, there is no electricity for co
oking, so fire wood is used instead. The girls must collect and carry the fire
wood back to their villages. They insist the easiest way to do this is on their
heads.
Even at school, head-balancing skills come in handy. At a school near the s
mall town of Norton, I saw a group of girls fetching bags of sand that were to
be used to build a new classroom. They carried these bags with ease. When I tri
ed, I couldn't bear the weight.
Girls in many countries worldwide prefer to carry things on their heads. Th
ey are taught this skill at a young age and grow up to have strong necks and gr
eat posture. For these girls, balance is simply a way of life.
12 The first paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. girls are suffering a lot in Zimbabwe
B. girls are the main labor force in their family
C. girls gain their ability out of their poor living condition
D.girls' main responsibility is to fetch water for their families
13 According to the girl, the head-balancing act should be ________.
A.horrible B.rapid C.gentle D.skillful
14 Why do the girls have good head-balancing skills
A. They have used them since they were young.
B. They think it is the easiest way to carry things.
C. They are required to carry things on their heads.
D.Their necks are strong and their heads are square.
15 How does the author introduce the girls' good head-balancing skills
A. By analyzing some questions. B.By making some comparisons.
C.By showing his appreciation. D.By giving his own opinions.

Let's be honest, there are times when you want to know how to make friends. You
may be reading this because you are shy or unsure of how to approach a person.
16________. But it is not very hard to make friends. Continue reading to find out

How eagerly she wanted it! But when she saw the price, her heart sank a little. She
gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her. Her mother
said. "Well. it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I can buy
you the necklace, but when we get home, we should make up a list of housework that
you can do to pay for the necklace." Jenny agreed immediately, feeling a burst of
joy. So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework
determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very laving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her
favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said. "Jenny, do you love
me " "Oh, yes, Daddy. you know I love you." The little girl said delightedly with
a broad smile on her face. "well, then give me your pearls." Hearing that, Jenny
froze there, an anxious expression twisting her face. "Oh! Daddy. not my pearls!
But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her You gave her to me last year
for my birthday. Okay " "Oh no, darling. that's okay." her father brushed her cheek
with a kiss, gently and calmly. "Good night. little one."
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story. "Do you love
me " "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you." the little girl murmured（咕）softly,
7
trying to escape from her father's eyes. " Well, then. give me your pearls." "Oh.
Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her

Several days later, when Jenny's father came into read her story, Jenny was waiting
anxiously for him on the bed. When listening to the story, Jenny was totally absent-minded,
with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly. When the story came to an end,
unexpectedly, Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father, with her fingers trembling
automatically. No one knew what the necklace meant to her. She whispered to her father,
softly and gently, "Daddy, you know I love you more than the necklace." Then, the necklace
slid into her father's hands determinedly.
Holding the plastic pearl necklace his daughter offered, the father dragged out a blue
box. Much to Jenny's amazement, a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box,
which set her heart racing. Jenny froze there, a thrilled expression brightening her face.
Before Jenny was able to say something, her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and
gathered her into his arms. Holding the necklace in her hand, Jenny lifted her eyes, tears
beginning to stream down her cheeks.
