Hans Christian's father once made him a toy theatre.His mother made clothes for his toy actors and actresses.Hans wanted to become an actor.But unfortunately he didn't have a gift for acting nor was he good­looking.When he danced everybody laughed.

Hans Christian recited poems though not very well.But he could sing.By the time Hans Christian was fourteen，he left for Copenhagen.People were kind to him but they told him he  couldn't do well in the theatre.Then after his fifteenth birthday，his voice  changed.He couldn't sing very well any longer.He decided that，since he  couldn't sing or act，he would write plays for other actors instead.

At first his plays were not a success but then a very important person in Copenhagen，Jonas Collin，read them and thought they are interesting.He became interested in him and he wanted to help Hans Christian's first play.

The first thing to do was to send Hans Christian to school.Although he was able to read，he knew nothing about grammar or spelling.Collin helped Hans Christian to get through these long，difficult years.

His first book was a collection of poems and then he wrote a novel.While he waited for his books to publish，he was writing fairy tales.As time went by，Andersen became a friend of the king.Indeed he became the friend of all the famous writers in Europe.

He returned to Odense several times to see his mother before she died and one day he went there as someone special.The people wanted to honor this famous son of their city.There were beautiful，bright lamps in all the streets and squares the night he arrived.

Later when he came to write the story of his life，he said：“That night was like a fairy tale.”Indeed it was.Hans Christian was born in a very poor family but he became a famous writer.

If you could have one superpower，what would it be?

Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds，see through walls，or have superhuman strength may sound silly，but it actually gets to the heart of what_really_matters_in_your_life.

Every day in our work，we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.

They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

We're not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor.Your lives are busy enough doing homework，playing sports，making friends，seeking after your dreams.But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself.Find an issue you are interested in and learn more.Volunteer or，if you can，contribute a little money to a cause.Whatever you do，don't be a bystander.Get involved.You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you're older.But why not start now?

Our own experience working together on health，development，and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives.It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。作者告诉我们，在我们周围有一些人每天都在激励着我们，这不是因为他们有超能力，而是他们通过做出色的事情，使这个世界变得更美好。因此，我们要做的就是花点时间和精力去帮助别人，这也会对我们的生活产生重大的影响。

【答案】　B

9．Why does the author say they are inspired every day?

A．They possess different kinds of superpowers.

B．They have got the power to change the world.

【答案】　C

Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented.Here，based on coverage of theme park safety，are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.

If you are visiting with children，take a moment to explain the ride to them，and tell them how they should behave.They are  depending upon you to keep them safe.Set a good example to them by following the rules of the park，and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules，too.

Tell them to stay seated，to hold the grab bar or put their hands on the laps，and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle.Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride，too.

And never put a crying child on a ride.If your child starts to cry，let others pass you in line until your child is calmed.Or，gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.

Young kids can't keep an adult's pace in a theme park.Let them take plenty of breaks.

“Kids get tired，” said TPI reader Matt Johnson，a father of four.“Tired kids make parents even more tired.And tired kids and parents may get hurt—physically and emotionally.”He advises that parents plan a mid­day break，perhaps a swim back at the hotel，to avoid mid­day heat and crowds.“You will see cranky(急躁的) families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”

13．If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride，you should ________.

A．tell him to be relaxed

A. he doesn't like to visit a theme park with his children

B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park

C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park

D．visitors  should  arrange  everything carefully before starting
