Tony’s sister enjoys ________(listen) to music and she often goes to concerts.

When the sun rose and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals ( 目标 ) like climbing the mountain. ” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience( 耐力 ).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing; but as time went by, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “ You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life. ”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal( 水晶 ).

A ． hard B ． enjoyable C ． painful D ． comfortable

These days,teenagers are heavily influenced by the media.Many of them have watched thousands of TV.That's more time than they spend with teachers at school.And we haven’t yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers.

However,several studies have shown a serious problem:today's teenagers lack media literacy（媒体素养).In other words，they have difficulty critically thinking about the information they see，One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.

 Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects.He tries to help his students  learn media literacy.The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important.In the example ，two news stations report a snowstorm.One focuses on（关注）the terrible road conditions.The other focuses on kids playing in the snow."With a news story，news stations tell you what they feel are the important details（细节）.These details mostly depend on the opinions of the news director，”said John.“A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time.There is more going on.”

Some experts think school is the best place to teach media literacy.Others believe everyone —from parents to reporters—should help teenagers learn the skills.

As for the best time to start learning media literacy,many experts suggest the age of 12.But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier.“It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,”John said.

Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）. Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!

Luckily, her neighbours, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. “We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help, “said Sam Adams, one of the boys. “That's the least we could do.”

When Mrs Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears（感动得落泪）. “I cannot believe this, “she said. “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn't even know their names. “As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.

How can I become a better person? This question has been in my head for long. As students, we spend most of our time studying. I know learning at school, of course, makes us better persons, but I always dream of doing more.

Last year, I got to know a group of autistic(患自闭症的）children. We called them "the Snails(蜗牛)". It was hard to communicate with them at first, because they wouldn't like to. After a two-week training, I became more skilled. I got closer to them day by day. To my surprise, I found that every one of "the Snails" had his or her own talent And their colorful pictures on the wall attracted my special attention, though it was difficult to tell what they were trying to express.

Moved by their pictures, I decided to hold a charity (慈善） sale. We walked on the busy street, selling their creative pictures. We sold 60picturesthat day. People thought their pictures were full of imagination.

Back to the question about how to become a better person, I think I am lucky enough to get my own answer.

65. Do "the Snails" have their own talents?

66. How many pictures did they sell that day?

67. What is the writer's answer to the question "how to become a better person"?

68. Do you think that selling pictures on the busy street is a very good way to help "the Snails"?

Why or why not?

Two little girls,14-year-old Cindy and 12-year-old Lucy, wrote to a newspaper office, asking some fast food restaurants to stop giving away free plastic( 塑料 ) toys. Many people read the letter and supported them.

“We have been learning all about the environment at school and the problem of plastic. It made us very sad to see how plastic harms wildlife and pollutes the ocean, and we want to change this.That’s why we want the fast food restaurants to think of the environment and stop giving away plastic toys with their kids meals.” the two girls wrote in their letter.

“We like to go to eat in fast food restaurants, but children only play with the plastic toys they give us for a few minutes before they get thrown away.
