Dear Karen,

Julie’s going to pick her up from school as usual on Friday. But Julie will not take her home. She will take her to the Palace Hotel, the big modern one near the station. We will have a meal there.

The survey was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) done among 29,760 students at 100 US high schools. The results suggest that in the past year, 30% of US high school students have stolen from a store. And 64% may have cheated (作弊) on a test.
However, 93% of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students said they were pleased with their honesty. And 77% said, “When it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know.”
Some teachers were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unhappy about the survey results. Some, however, defended today’s students.
“The competition is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )greater and the pressures (压力) on kids have increased greatly,” said Mel Riddle, a high school teacher. “It is the pressures that make it easy for students to be dishonest.”
“I think these student ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are better than other generations,” he said. “I find them more active, better to work with and more thankful for support.”
He added, “We have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to create situations where it’s easy for kids to do the right things.”
( )36. According to the survey, US teenagers 　　　　 today.
A. have trouble getting jobs
B. don’t get along well with their parents
C. are not so honest as older generations

Wherever travelle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs go, cameras are sure to follow. It’s great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.
There’s Aunt Sarah ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Slowly, people may lose interest in Aunt Sarah’s slides because they know what Aunt Sarah looks like and what Europe’s great landmarks (地面标志物) look like.
But a young man nam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist’s eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architecture. Instead, he took pictures of farmers working in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests (牧师) bending over their Bibles. He captured (抓住) the colour and the character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more. Any amateur (业余爱好者) can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity. When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.

What ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) does the underlined word “slides” probably mean in Chinese
A. 故事. B. 幻灯片.
C. 风景. D. 路线.

A. takes a camera with him
B. knows the history of a place
C.
is inter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ested in not only the landmarks but also the people of a place
D. learns how to draw pictures of a place

One possible version:
Great swimmer — Michael Phelps
Michael Phelps ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was born in Baltimore, Maryland on 30th June 1985. When he was seven years old, he started swimming and received lots of hard training. At the age of 15, he got fifth place in the 200-metre butterfly at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. In 2008 at the Beijing Olympic Games Phelps realised his 8-gold-medal dream and broke seven world records. In April 2012 he announced his retirement from swimming. I think he is the best swimmer. I’ve learnt a lot from him.
