一、阅读理解题
A British girl, Taryn Everdeen, has just finished writing a novel (小说) with her favorite writer, Carolyn Meyer, even though she is 66 years younger than her.
Taryn was only 15 years old, when she first wrote a fan letter to an 81-year-old Carolyn Meyer, to give thanks for her historical novels.
"Carolyn was one of my favorite writers. I grew up reading her books. When I was nine or ten, I would listen to her stories every night…That made me fall in love with history," says Taryn.
Taryn, who is from Norwich, England, was then excited when Carolyn wrote back and suggested writing a novel together.
Carolyn is an American writer who writes novels for children and young people. She has published (出版) over 60 children books, but she has never wanted to work with another writer until she got Taryn's letter.
Three years ago, after Taryn wrote to her, Carolyn invited the young girl to stay with her in the US, so they could write a novel together. They decided to write a time-traveling story. They sent ideas to each other by email. Carolyn also visited Taryn last year, and Taryn flew to the US over the summer, after she finished her school exams.
They now have a first draft (初稿) of "Mirror of Time". They decide to give it to some publishers and hope they will be interested in it.
"This is my first try at writing a novel. We have been working on it for three years. It's amazing," says Taryn. And I have never met anyone like her. "She seems much younger than her age. I think she is a really powerful role model (有影响力的榜样). She's my teacher, and my work partner, but I see her as a friend more than anything else."
Taryn, now 18 years old, returns from the USA this week. She wants to have a gap year before starting university next year.
"We worked hard, but we did other things together, too. While I was there, we went to a few theatre shows, and we went on a journey to Taos, staying in a hotel overnight there."
"She's very open, and I can talk to her about pretty much all the things I talk to my other friends about," she says. "She has taught me how to be a better writer."

Seasons and climates
There are four seasons in most of the countries. But the weather is not always the same. In England, winter is not very cold and summer is not very hot. There is not a great difference between summer and winter. Do you know why
England has a warm winter and a cool summer because it is an island country. In winter the sea is warmer than the land. The winds from the sea bring warm air to England. In summer the sea is cooler than the land. The winds from the sea bring cool air to England. The west winds blow over England all year around. They blow from the southwest. They are wet winds. They also bring rain to England. So England has a lot of rain. Sometimes it rains heavily. The west of England is wetter than the east.
In Canada they have four seasons, too. But the average (平均) temperature is very low. Spring is usually very cold in most part of the country. It comes in February. People can still go skating in some places. Summer is usually very cool. Early in the morning the weather is so cold that people usually wear sweaters. Autumn comes after summer. Canadians like to watch maples (枫叶) in the park or on the hills. They are really beautiful. Winter is the coldest season of the year. It's often freezing cold. There is thick ice on the river or lake. Children like to go skating there. Of course, they should wear warm, thick coats, or they will catch a cold.

You will find many block (街区) clubs in Chicago. You know that a block has a club when you see a sign saying "Welcome to our block". Then it will list rules. One rule might be "Do not play ball" or "No loud music".
Neighbours make up block clubs. One neighbor may be the leader who starts it. The person may also ask a few neighbours if they want to start the club. Or they may have a meeting to invite other neighbours to join.
People who join a block club want to have a good place to live. They want their children to be safe and the street to be clean. They want to be friendly. So the signs usually say something like "This is a great block."
When a new family moves into the block, the block club leader will meet with them and tell the rules to them. The new family joins the block club after they know the advantages of the block club.
There are some troublemakers who don't follow the rules on the block.
They sometimes cause problems. The block dub has tried to solve the problems. If it is a serious problem, neighbours may be angry. They may talk with the troublemaker. Or they may send a letter to that person and tell him that he must follow the rules. Sometimes a block club calls the police. They report a problem. The police will come to talk with the people making the problem. They hope they will cooperate.
Block clubs have fun, too. They may have a block party. The children play together. The adults talk about the community. Everyone has a good time. Some people say block clubs are like a big family.
