What is the hottest topic at your school recently? In Hangzhou Yongjin Middle School, it’s money. The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend.

Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo(竹子)baskets. 21教育网
Hu Qing’s team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers(城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek(捉迷藏)with the officers for the whole morning, ”said Hu, “Finally we had to give up. ”21·cn·jy·com
Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn’t meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying“For Country Kids”.

He said he wanted to help the children, ”said Wang, “We were touched. ”Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the“Project Hope”office.

There are some places in the world that one wants to return again and again. After my first visit to Boracay, a small island in the Philippines, in March of last year, I knew that I would return soon. I was there again in April this year. 21*cnjy*com
It was on the island that I first tried kite-surfing. The Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of Boracay has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers. I randomly chose a center, which happened to be an affiliation(附属机构)of International Kiteboarding Organization.
The organization has training centers around the world, and some of its courses are tailored for beginners like me. The center on Boracay has different courses, from recreational to professional. In the recreational category, trainees have to do the “discovery” level before they go on to more advanced levels.
My instructor Brian, who was from the United States, adhered(坚持, 遵守)strictly to the center’s rules about levels, and began the training by asking me to set up the kite on the sand, which was the very first step at the ground level of the “discovery” course. I had a teammate, and we both couldn’t wait to have the feeling of riding with the wind on the surface of the water.
But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the movements of our bodies. I was there in March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient maritime trade route. They call the wind Amihan, or trade winds.
From September to May the year before, the hills on the northern and southern ends of the island channel the Amihan wind from the east onshore, and onto the Bulabog Beach on the eastern coast of the island.
25. Which of the following is NOT true about Boracay?
A. It belongs to the Philippines.
B. An affiliation of International Kiteboarding Organization lies there.
C. It has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers.
D. It only offers visitors training of kite-surfing.
26. Which word can best describe the author’s feeling in the training?
A. Disappointed. 　　　 　 B. Excited.
C. Depressed. D. Worried.
27.The best title of the passage is　　　.
A. Boracay—a Beautiful Island
B. Kite-surfing Training Program
C. My Experience of Kite-surfing Training
D. My First Visit to Boracay

Gloria arrived in Barbados on 26 January, 2008 after rowing * across the Atlantic for three months and a half. Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race*. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey *. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3.360 kilometers.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days he became very afraid of the huge ocean and was not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat.

So, for the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic. Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things.

There are some stories behind English words.
You've spent a lot of time studying how to use English in a proper way. But have you ever wondered why English speakers say some of the things they say? For example, why do they say "an easy task" is "a piece of cake"? Why do the two letters "OK" means "all right"?
Many English words and phrases have stories behind them. Sometimes these stories can help us look back into old western history. Let's take a look at a few of the original common English words and phrases:【版权所有：21教育】
OK
"OK" was an American who lived in the 19th century. His name was "Old Kinderhook". In one year he was trying to take the place of the leader of his town. His supporters went around the town shouting " OK! OK!" The supporters thought their future leader was " all right". The expression caught on, and now if something is "all right”, people like to say "OK|"
Boss
Is your boss nice to you? If not, just be glad you weren't living in the old times. Back to that time, bosses could do anything bad to their men and could even beat them! That explains why the word "boss" comes from an old German word meaning "to beat".
A piece of cake
A famous American writer named Ogden Nash lived in the 1930s. Many readers enjoyed his poems and wrote them down in their notebooks. In one of his poems, Nash wrote, "Her picture's in the papers now and life's a piece of cake." His readers found these words interesting and quickly wrote them down. They thought that if one picture in a newspaper could make you famous, wouldn't life be easy? For nearly 70 years, "a piece of cake" has meant any task or activity that is easy.
32. Some of English words can tell us stories about_________.
A. how people learned English B. how English speakers create the words
C. how people spoke English D. how people taught others to speak English
33. The word "boss" in old German means "_________".
A. to work B. to help C. to beat D. to kill
34. "OK" comes from "_________".
A. Old King B. Old Kindman C. Old Kinderhook D. Old Mcdonald
35. In this passage "a piece of cake" means "_________".
A. an easy task or activity B. a difficult task or activity
C. a simple newspaper to read D. a famous picture in a newspaper
