Jack and Dane were great friends. Every evening they played together. They studied in the same class in the same school. They were good students.

One evening, Jack and Dane were playing with a ball. After a while, Jack said, “I am so bored. Shall we go for fishing in the river?” “That is a great idea.” replied Dane.

Jack called out to his mother, “Mama, we are going fishing in the river, okay?”

“Okay,” Jack’s mother said, “but be careful not to get into the water. Your father said there are crocodiles in the river.”

Both the children said that they would not get into the river. They gathered their fishing lines with the hooks (钩), and a can full of fish food. They headed to the river, and soon began fishing.

However, even after a long time, they did not get any fish. They began to feel bored again. “This river looks not so deep. Why does mother say not to swim here?” asked Jack.

“Remember, your mother said there are crocodiles here.” said Dane.

“Well, I don’t find any.” said Jack.

Dane was quiet for a while. Finally he asked, “Do you think we can swim?”

Jack jumped up and shouted excitedly, “Yes, let us swim. Come on, dive.”

The two friends dove in, and splashed (泼水) around happily. They found some logs of wood floating on the river, and tried floating with them. It was then that something unexpected happened.

Dane was playing with a log of wood, and suddenly, the log was caught in a strong current (水流), and he was hit in the head. He became unconscious immediately.

Walking into and volunteering at an orphanage (孤儿院) for the first time, I was filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

As a half-Filipino, I felt a sense of pride and joy to be back in the country where my family was from, but I wasn’t sure what to expect from my time there. Would I be able to connect with the kids? Would I be able to make a meaningful impact? These were the thoughts running through my mind as I walked through the gate.

When I arrived, I was greeted by a group of shy and curious children. They looked out from behind doors and around corners, eyeing me carefully as I made my way through the halls. I was struck by their shyness, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous myself.

I was a stranger in their home, and I knew that it would take time to earn their trust and build a connection with them.

However, as days went by and I spent more time with the kids, I began to see their walls come down. They started to open up to me, sharing stories and jokes, and even asking me to join in their games.

Soon enough, they welcomed me into their home with open arms, quite naturally. From that point on, I had a kid attached to me at all times. They were always eager to hold hands, give hugs, and jump on my back whenever I wasn’t looking. It was hard to believe that these same children had once been so guarded and distant.

These were kids who had experienced more hardship and trauma (创伤) in their young lives than most people could even imagine. And yet, they still found reasons to smile and laugh every day. They were incredibly stubborn and strong-willed, which could be challenging at times, but it also gave them a strong sense of perseverance.

6 . Growing up, I never wore makeup and I was always more afraid of the mirror than anything else. I hadn't thought makeup was meant for me, a disabled woman, until I saw Ulta's new advertisement:a huge full-color photo of a model in a wheelchair.

The world of fashion and beauty is rarely related to disabilities, and even though Hollywood has made steps toward greater inclusion and clothing brand Aerie has featured women with disabilities in their advertisements, seeing disabilities in the mainstream is definitely unusual. The reason why these things make headlines is that they're so rare.

I learned from a very young age that because of my disability, I would never be connected with beauty or charm. I'd spent so long feeling separated from so many parts of society, but Ulta is sending a powerful message with a single photo: It's time to challenge conventional beauty standards because beauty comes in all forms.

We all want to feel included. When it comes to disabilities, it is so important, especially for children and teens with disabilities. I was well into my 30s when I rolled into a makeup store for the first time. I had no idea what I was doing and felt like entering a new world without a map; I felt like I was out of place, as if I was peeking at a club without being invited. Imagine how my experience would have been different if I had seen a model in a wheelchair, smiling, as if to say, “Welcome. Yes, you belong!”

That message of inclusion was loud and clear for Maren Anderson, a 4-year-old girl who has a rare genetic disease and just started using a wheelchair. The moment she spotted the advertisement was caught on camera by her mom Carolyn Anderson, and quickly spread last month on Facebook. “It's just really saying that she feels included, and she feels like she identifies with that, and belongs here just like everybody else. So, thank you, Ulta,” said Carolyn Anderson.

1. What can be learned from paragraph 2?

A．There will be more products for the disabled.

B．Aerie is the author's favorite clothing brand.

C．Hollywood works with Ulta to help the disabled.

D．It's hard for the public to associate beauty with disabilities.

2. What does the author think of Ulta's new advertisement?

A．It creates a new trend in the fashion world.

B．It makes society offer more jobs to the disabled.

C．It helps make the disabled feel confident and involved.

D．It breaks the barrier between the disabled and the able-bodied.

3. How did the author feel when she first stepped into the makeup store?

A．Nervous and embarrassed.	B．Sad and lonely.
C．Excited and proud.	D．Lost and bored.

4. Why is Maren Anderson's photo mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．To expose the condition of the disabled.

B．To show the effect of Ulta's advertisement.

C．To emphasize the sense of belonging.

D．To explore the contemporary beauty standards.

We’re driving along a road and saw a piece of card saying: “Bungee Jumping, 5km” and an arrow pointing to the left. I couldn’t even see a road going left and there was no sign of any bungee jumping, but you insisted.

“We don’t have to do the bungee jumping, we can just go there and see what’s happening. It’ll be interesting!” As usual, you got your way. I gave in and off we went along this dirt road. After driving for ages, suddenly some trees appeared like a small wood. “This must be the place,” you said. We pulled over. As soon as we’re out of car, we heard voices of people shouting and laughing. It sounded like they’re having a good time. In the middle of the wood there were some people. They’re polite and friendly, but I felt like we’re interrupting.

Once there had been a river, but now there was just a dry ditch. A metal bridge crossed the ditch. The bridge didn’t look too stable. I thought the kids had built it. The kids were in the middle of the bridge. They’re all leaning over and looking down into the ditch. They’re shouting and laughing. Another person was hanging from a long piece of elastic rope in the middle of the ditch. He was laughing madly. The other people slowly pulled him up to the bridge. As the guy came to the top he looked shocked but also very happy.

“I want to do that!” you said. And you knew what I wanted to say: What will happen if the rope breaks? I didn’t say it, but I was thinking it. I didn’t say anything, because I knew that you wouldn’t have answers for any of my questions. You’ve always been a lot more adventurous than me.
