【推荐2】As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.

“My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.

In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.

“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.

She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.

There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said.

1. What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese?

A．制止

B．同情

C．想念

D．忍受

2. What happened to Barry in 1995?

A．Something went wrong with her car.

B．Rosie didn’t arrive home on time.

C．She got to know the Smith family.

D．Rosie fell off an amusement park ride.

A．Afraid.

B．Most of them put safety first.

C．They cause a large number of deaths.

【推荐1】During the Warring States Period（475—221 BC）, King Zhao of the State of Yan wanted to get talented people to work for him. When he asked a scholar（有学问的人）named Guo Wei for some suggestions, Guo told him the story of buying horse bones（尸体）with 500 pieces of gold.

There was once a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1, 000 li a day. It was called Qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.

One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard about a Qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.

The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!”

The man answered calmly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone（更不必说）a live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.”

That was true. Within a year, many Qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.

Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am valued, more talented people will be willing to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a respected teacher. Soon, more talented people came to help the king and made the state strong.

【推荐1】I am my mother’s third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then, he gave her some advice, “Don’t treat her any differently from the other girls.” And she did!

There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, “Mom, I can’t peel(削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.” “You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkeybar(攀爬架). When it was my turn, I said “No”. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.

The next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget when I was crossing the bar, the kids were standing there with their mouths open.

Doing chores is good or bad for children.

So many parents don’t know if they should give chores to their children. But I have no trouble with that. I tried to ask my children to do some simple chores when they were only three years old. They had two chores at first.

Making Me Coffee

This needed them to count out 8 spoons of coffee beans (豆) into a coffee grinder (研磨机); then grind them for 20 seconds (they had to count slowly to 20). Next, they should pour the coffee grinds into the basket; count out 8 cups of water and pour it into the machine.

As you can see, there was a math exercise behind. As they grew older, the chore (making coffee) would become more difficult.

Cleaning the Dishes

Cleaning the dishes needed three steps in our house. I let one of my children brush the dishes. The other one washed the dishes with water carefully. And I would dry and put away the dishes. Through the cleaning, they could learn how to work together. In order to make the chore interesting, I even wrote a song called “Keep the Washing Going!” My children always felt excited when they sang the song with me.

At 11 years old, they now do chores such as cleaning the floors, taking out the rubbish and giving the dog a shower every day. What makes me happy is that they can have fun when doing chores on their own.

1. The writer began to make her kids do chores when they were ________ years old.

A．2

B．3

C．8

2. Making coffee was helpful to the kids’ ________

A．hobbies

B．team spirit.

C．math

3. How did the writer make cleaning the dishes interesting?

A．By singing a song.

B．By working with the kids.

C．By counting the number.

4. How do the writer’s kids feel about doing chores now?

A．Bad.

B．Interesting.

C．Strict.

5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．It took 20 seconds to make a cup of coffee.

B．The writer’s children do the most chores at home.

C．The children can learn a lot from doing chores.

【推荐3】Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.

However, he went to work at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.

“I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over,” Grennan said in the Huffington Post.

However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into an unusual experience. It was in 2018 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year’s long around-the-world trip. His first three months were spent in Nepal.

When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children’s Home, he was faced by the excited children.

The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked (被拐卖的) children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids’ families. “I started walking with photos of the kids,” he told the Reuter’s reporter. “I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families.”

At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.

Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”

He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.

Grennan’s fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

1. At first, Grennan simply wanted to _________ by volunteering in Nepal.

A．write travel stories

B．learn the skills

2. When Grennan came to the Little Prince Children’s Home, _________ .

A．18 children were ill in bed	B．the children there felt excited
C．he decided to give up his job	D．he’d lived in Nepal for a year

3. From the passage we can learn that Grennan _________ .

A．found the kids’ families easily	B．was good at taking pictures
C．wrote the book Little Prince	D．asked others to go to Nepal

4. Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Volunteering changes a lot	B．Volunteering is with the kids
C．A volunteer becomes a writer	D．A volunteer travels in Nepal
