A
DVD decisions — looking for a good movie to rent? Let us help you.
Fiction or reality? The following two classic movies are worth watching — each explores the themes of cinema, fiction and reality.
The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
One reason to go to the movies is to take a break from everyday life and lose yourself in the magic of the silver screen. In The Purple Rose of Cairo, Woody Allen turns this idea on its head.
Mia Farrow plays Cecilia, a New Jersey waitress, who goes to the local movie theater to escape from her boring life. Jeff Daniels is Tom Baxter, the handsome archaeologist (考古学家) hero in a movie called The Purple Rose of Cairo, which Cecilia has already seen several times. One day, Baxter decided he has had enough of being a character in a movie, and he walks out of the screen to join Cecilia in the theater. Can Hollywood find Tom and get him back into the movie or will he manage to stay in the real world forever?
EDtv (1999)
A television studio manager (Ellen DeGeneres) has an idea about how to save a failing TV station — film and broadcast a normal person’s life 24 hours a day. EDtv is born the moment her eye falls on Ed Pekurny, a friendly video store clerk played by Mattew McConaughey.
After the show’s first week on air, Ed’s fame grows and grows, but then conflicts start up, particularly with Ed’s girlfriend and his family. After a while, Ed decides he wants to stop being part of the show, but he finds out his contract (合同) can’t be reversed (撤销). But in a country that turns the TV set on at breakfast and off at bedtime, anything can happen ... Ron Howard’s comedy is well worth watching.
21. Why does Cecilia go to the movies in The Purple Rose of Cairo?
A. To date Tom Baxter.
B. To learn some acting skills.
C. To run away from boredom.
D. To experience the real world.
22. What happens to Ed after the show is broadcast?
A. He ends his contract.
B. He faces some trouble.
C. He loses his best friends.
D. He gets involved in a fight.
23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To suggest two movies.
B. To introduce new actors.
C. To show his taste in movies.
D. To share his thoughts about fiction.
B
A Mexican teacher has been honoured after a video showed her calming pupils as a gun battle raged (肆虐) outside her school.
Martha Rivera Alanis was presented with a certificate (证书) on Monday to recognise her bravery in ordering her class of five- and six-year-olds to lie on the floor of their classroom, before attempting to calm them by leading a chorus (合唱) of a song from television show Barney & Friends.
Rivera Alanis filmed some of the scenes from inside the classroom in Monterrey — the sound of gunfire can be clearly heard — and posted the resulting video on Twitter. It was picked up and quickly spread around the Internet, with the 33-year-old teacher earning the admiration of many.
“Of course, I was afraid, but my kids got me through it,” Rivera Alanis said.
The video shows Rivera Alanis’s 15 young pupils lying face down on the floor. “No, my love, nothing is going to happen, just put your little face on the floor,” Rivera Alanis is heard telling one worried girl, before loud bursts of gunfire can be heard.
In the video, Rivera Alanis attempts to distract the children by leading them in a song from Barney & Friends. “If the rain drops were chocolate, I would love to be there, opening my mouth to taste them,” the class sang as they lay on the floor.
“My only thought was to take their minds off that noise,” Rivera Alanis said. “So I thought of that song.”
Rivera Alanis’s school and those in several Mexican cities hit by drug violence have held emergency drills (应急演练) in the past to instruct teachers and students what to do in case of gunfire. Drug-related violence is said to have killed more than 35,000 people in Mexico over the past four years.
“We do drills constantly, because the area where we are is a high-risk zone,” Rivera Alanis said, adding that the children “behaved in the way we had practiced”.
24. Why was Rivera Alanis given a certificate?
A. To admire her courage.
B. To award her filming skills.
C. To praise her teaching achievement.
D. To reward her efforts to end the battle.
25. Why did Rivera Alanis lead the kids in a song?
A. To comfort them.
B. To practice the song.
C. To make their break fun.
D. To prepare for a performance.
26. What can we infer about Rivera Alanis’s school?
A. It’s full of violence.
B. It has strict discipline.
C. It’s in an unpeaceful area.
D. It provides various activities.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A video becomes an Internet hit
B. Stay calm and stick to the plan
C. Gunfire heard in Mexico primary schools
D. Top class: singing through a shoot-out
C
Although fires are still a danger in every major city today, they were a much more serious problem in earlier centuries. The historic Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause. Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.
In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned out of control for three days, destroying most of the central district of the city. The disaster caused a huge amount of damage — around seventy thousand people lost their homes. At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city. There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the government didn’t record the deaths of poor people in those early times.
When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) outbreak that had begun in 1665. London’s housing troubles were a major cause of the problem. At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings. This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home. In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage. Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas (跳蚤) — the carriers of the plague. Once people caught the plague from flea bites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district. It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.
Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings. It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague. After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas. Whenever possible, they used brick or stone. Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter. Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.
28. Which of the following is TRUE about fires in the past?
A. They mainly happened in large cities.
B. They always had some positive effects.
C. They caused small amounts of damage.
D. They were more dangerous than fires today.
29. Why are there no accurate death records of the fire?
A. The numbers were beyond counting.
B. The government intended to hide the facts.
C. The records were destroyed in another fire.
D. The deaths of poor people were unrecorded.
30. What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ancient.
B. Crowded.
C. Damaged.
D. Popular.
31. Why did the government rebuild the city with brick and stone after the fire?
A. To reduce building costs.
B. To make houses stronger.
C. To keep fleas out of the city.
D. To stop the plague spreading.
D
Lacrosse is an outdoor team sport of Native American origin. It’s played with rackets (球拍) called lacrosse sticks, crosses for short, and a rubber ball. The crosses are long sticks with triangular (三角形的) nets on one end used to catch, carry and throw the ball. The crosses are different lengths depending on the position of the team member. There’re short crosses that are about a meter long, and there’re long crosses that are 1.3 to 1.8 meters long. Lacrosse is played on a field that is 100 meters long and 55 meters wide. In addition, there’re goals at either end that are 1.8 meters by 1.8 meters with nets. All players wear helmets.
Teams consist of ten players each: a goalie, three defensive players, three midfielders and three attackmen. The object of the game is to get the ball into the opponents’ (对手的) goal with the crosses. The team with the most goals at the end of the game wins. The goalie guards the goal, and the defensive players stay near the goalie to help protect the area. The midfielders can go anywhere on the field. The attackmen are usually the players who score the goals.
The game starts with a face-off between two players at the center of the field to see which team gets the ball first. Players then use their crosses to pass the ball to team members, trying to get the ball into the opponents’ goal. The opposing team can take the ball by using the end of their crosses to try and knock the ball out of the net of another player’s crosse. Only the goalies can touch the ball with their hands. Players can use their bodies to bump (碰撞) other players to try to get the ball. This is called body checking, and it’s only allowed above the waist (腰) and below the shoulders.
Men and women play lacrosse, but the rules are slightly different for men’s and women’s teams. For example, the women wear less protective clothes and body checking is not allowed. Rules also differ depending on if the team is a youth team, a college team or a professional team.
32. What do we know about crosses?
A. They can be different sizes.
B. They are used to store the ball.
C. They can help protect the players.
D. They have round nets on the end.
33. What do goalies do?
A. Pass the ball.
B. Score the points.
C. Protect team members.
D. Defend the goal net from shots.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Body checking is against the rules.
B. Attacking opponents’ legs is forbidden.
C. Players can pass the ball with their hands.
D. The game begins with midfielders’ competition.
35. Which of the following is TRUE about lacrosse rules?
A. They apply to all types of team alike.
B. They are different for different teams.
C. They limit protective clothes in men’s teams.
D. They permit body checking in women’s games.

For most Americans, plastic bags are a necessary part of any shopping trip. 36 But plastic bags that end up in oceans and on beaches are harmful to fish, birds and other wildlife. Several cities around the U.S. have either banned single-use plastic bags, tax (征税) them, or find other ways to limit their use. Those who support a bag tax say it encourages people to bring reusable bags. 37 But critics argue that taxing the use of plastic bags puts unfair stress on low-income families. Here two students share their views.
Grant Gordinier, 11, from San Diego, California, says, “ 38 Every year, 485 billion plastic bags are not recycled. Some end up in the ocean and can cause harm to sea life. Placing a small tax on plastic bags might encourage shoppers to bring their own reusable bags to stores. Reusable bags would cut down on waste in the environment. Businesses would also save money by not having to provide as many plastic bags to customers.”
However, Elle Belperio, 12, from Los Angeles, California, has different opinions. “ 39 Some grocery stores (杂货店) have bins for shoppers to recycle used bags. Other stores reward individual efforts. They give a small refund (退款) every time a shopper uses his or her own bag. If you reuse and recycle your plastic bag properly, you will not be hurting the environment. I know many families reuse them to pick up after their dogs. 40 Instead, the government should educate people in ways to reuse and recycle them.”
A. New York City will also ban plastic bags.
B. There are many ways to reuse plastic bags.
C. In my home, we find many uses for the bags.
D. Besides, they think it helps cut down on wastes.
E. Communities should limit the use of plastic bags.
F. I don’t think communities should tax plastic bags.
G. Many people seldom think of the bags’ influence on the environment.

Michelle was eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Jack, now only an infant（婴儿）.. He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack the baby now but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mom. "Only a miracle can save him now.”
At the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took out all the coins from her little moneybox. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out the back door and made her way to the drug store six blocks away . . .
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist（药剂师）turned around and asked her. “And what do you want?”
“Well, it's' about my brother,” Michelle answered . “He's really, really sick . . . and 1 want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon?”said the pharmacist. “His name is Jack and he has something very bad growing inside his body and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don't sell miracles here, little girl .I'rn sorry but I can't help you, ” the pharmacist said. “Listen, I have money to pay for it.” And with these words, Mich poured out all the coins from her pockets. At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down and ask the little girl. “I'm selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents, ” Michelle answered in a low voice. “And it's all the money I have, but I can some more if I need to.”
“Well, ” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents— the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. Show me the place where your brothers lives.”

Dear Peter,
Recently I have some trouble with my English learning. So I'm waiting to ask for your help.
Learning English now seems to become increasingly boring for me and consequently I often fail to concentrate in class. Besides, finishing my homework on time is sometimes a terrible struggle, leading to my confidence significantly decreasing. As a result, my grades begin to fall sharply, which makes me really anxious.
I would be truly grateful if you could offer me some tips on how to develop my passion for English again. Many thanks!
Yours

Paragraph 1 :
Holding the man's hand firmly , Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. Later, the little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents and it wasn't long before Jack was home again and doing well. Michelle was very happy. Now she knew the exact price of a miracle . . . one dollar and eleven cents . . . plus the faith of a little child.
Paragraph 2 :
When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed , “when I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I finally decided to help the family out of trouble. It doesn't matter how much money she actually had with her; what matters is her faith, a faith that miracles do exist.”

M: Here in the USA, college life can be as interesting as you can imagine. It is time to experience new things and studies alone do not satisfy the students. This is where out-of-class activites come in. These activities range from clubs, organizations and groups to sports. They are all directed by students themselves. Each organization has an advisor, but student members plan all activities and events. In a university there are as many as hundreds of student organizations for students to choose from. Each student is sure to have a club or group that fits his needs or interests. The clubs range from religion to community service, sports and hobbies. For example, there are ski clubs, yoga clubs, dance clubs, etc. If you cannot find a club that you are interested in, you can have an idea for a new club, and form one youself. All you have to do is to pass the idea through the school nd find an advisor and if the school agrees, you’ll have a new student organization!
Clubs and organizations help students explore their interests, which may turn into lifelong hobbies or even become their careers in life.

DVD decisions — looking for a good movie to rent? Let us help you.
Fiction or reality? The following two classic movies are worth watching — each explores the themes of cinema, fiction and reality.
The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
One reason to go to the movies is to take a break from everyday life and lose yourself in the magic of the silver screen. In The Purple Rose of Cairo, Woody Allen turns this idea on its head.
Mia Farrow plays Cecilia, a New Jersey waitress, who goes to the local movie theater to escape from her boring life. Jeff Daniels is Tom Baxter, the handsome archaeologist (考古学家) hero in a movie called The Purple Rose of Cairo, which Cecilia has already seen several times. One day, Baxter decided he has had enough of being a character in a movie, and he walks out of the screen to join Cecilia in the theater. Can Hollywood find Tom and get him back into the movie or will he manage to stay in the real world forever?
EDtv (1999)
A television studio manager (Ellen DeGeneres) has an idea about how to save a failing TV station — film and broadcast a normal person’s life 24 hours a day. EDtv is born the moment her eye falls on Ed Pekurny, a friendly video store clerk played by Mattew McConaughey.
After the show’s first week on air, Ed’s fame grows and grows, but then conflicts start up, particularly with Ed’s girlfriend and his family. After a while, Ed decides he wants to stop being part of the show, but he finds out his contract (合同) can’t be reversed (撤销). But in a country that turns the TV set on at breakfast and off at bedtime, anything can happen ... Ron Howard’s comedy is well worth watching.
21. Why does Cecilia go to the movies in The Purple Rose of Cairo?
A. To date Tom Baxter.
B. To learn some acting skills.
C. To run away from boredom.
D. To experience the real world.
22. What happens to Ed after the show is broadcast?
A. He ends his contract.
B. He faces some trouble.
C. He loses his best friends.
D. He gets involved in a fight.
23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To suggest two movies.
B. To introduce new actors.
C. To show his taste in movies.
D. To share his thoughts about fiction.

A Mexican teacher has been honoured after a video showed her calming pupils as a gun battle raged (肆虐) outside her school.
Martha Rivera Alanis was presented with a certificate (证书) on Monday to recognise her bravery in ordering her class of five- and six-year-olds to lie on the floor of their classroom, before attempting to calm them by leading a chorus (合唱) of a song from television show Barney & Friends.
Rivera Alanis filmed some of the scenes from inside the classroom in Monterrey — the sound of gunfire can be clearly heard — and posted the resulting video on Twitter. It was picked up and quickly spread around the Internet, with the 33-year-old teacher earning the admiration of many.
“Of course, I was afraid, but my kids got me through it,” Rivera Alanis said.
The video shows Rivera Alanis’s 15 young pupils lying face down on the floor. “No, my love, nothing is going to happen, just put your little face on the floor,” Rivera Alanis is heard telling one worried girl, before loud bursts of gunfire can be heard.
In the video, Rivera Alanis attempts to distract the children by leading them in a song from Barney & Friends. “If the rain drops were chocolate, I would love to be there, opening my mouth to taste them,” the class sang as they lay on the floor.
“My only thought was to take their minds off that noise,” Rivera Alanis said. “So I thought of that song.”
Rivera Alanis’s school and those in several Mexican cities hit by drug violence have held emergency drills (应急演练) in the past to instruct teachers and students what to do in case of gunfire. Drug-related violence is said to have killed more than 35,000 people in Mexico over the past four years.
“We do drills constantly, because the area where we are is a high-risk zone,” Rivera Alanis said, adding that the children “behaved in the way we had practiced”.
24. Why was Rivera Alanis given a certificate?
A. To admire her courage.
B. To award her filming skills.
C. To praise her teaching achievement.
D. To reward her efforts to end the battle.
25. Why did Rivera Alanis lead the kids in a song?
A. To comfort them.
B. To practice the song.
C. To make their break fun.
D. To prepare for a performance.
26. What can we infer about Rivera Alanis’s school?
A. It’s full of violence.
B. It has strict discipline.
C. It’s in an unpeaceful area.
D. It provides various activities.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A video becomes an Internet hit
B. Stay calm and stick to the plan
C. Gunfire heard in Mexico primary schools
D. Top class: singing through a shoot-out
C
Although fires are still a danger in every major city today, they were a much more serious problem in earlier centuries. The historic Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause. Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.
In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned out of control for three days, destroying most of the central district of the city. The disaster caused a huge amount of damage — around seventy thousand people lost their homes. At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city. There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the government didn’t record the deaths of poor people in those early times.
When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) outbreak that had begun in 1665. London’s housing troubles were a major cause of the problem. At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings. This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home. In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage. Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas (跳蚤) — the carriers of the plague. Once people caught the plague from flea bites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district. It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.
Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings. It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague. After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas. Whenever possible, they used brick or stone. Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter. Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.
28. Which of the following is TRUE about fires in the past?
A. They mainly happened in large cities.
B. They always had some positive effects.
C. They caused small amounts of damage.
D. They were more dangerous than fires today.
29. Why are there no accurate death records of the fire?
A. The numbers were beyond counting.
B. The government intended to hide the facts.
C. The records were destroyed in another fire.
D. The deaths of poor people were unrecorded.
30. What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ancient.
B. Crowded.
C. Damaged.
D. Popular.
31. Why did the government rebuild the city with brick and stone after the fire?
A. To reduce building costs.
B. To make houses stronger.
C. To keep fleas out of the city.
D. To stop the plague spreading.
D
Lacrosse is an outdoor team sport of Native American origin. It’s played with rackets (球拍) called lacrosse sticks, crosses for short, and a rubber ball. The crosses are long sticks with triangular (三角形的) nets on one end used to catch, carry and throw the ball. The crosses are different lengths depending on the position of the team member. There’re short crosses that are about a meter long, and there’re long crosses that are 1.3 to 1.8 meters long. Lacrosse is played on a field that is 100 meters long and 55 meters wide. In addition, there’re goals at either end that are 1.8 meters by 1.8 meters with nets. All players wear helmets.
Teams consist of ten players each: a goalie, three defensive players, three midfielders and three attackmen. The object of the game is to get the ball into the opponents’ (对手的) goal with the crosses. The team with the most goals at the end of the game wins. The goalie guards the goal, and the defensive players stay near the goalie to help protect the area. The midfielders can go anywhere on the field. The attackmen are usually the players who score the goals.
The game starts with a face-off between two players at the center of the field to see which team gets the ball first. Players then use their crosses to pass the ball to team members, trying to get the ball into the opponents’ goal. The opposing team can take the ball by using the end of their crosses to try and knock the ball out of the net of another player’s crosse. Only the goalies can touch the ball with their hands. Players can use their bodies to bump (碰撞) other players to try to get the ball. This is called body checking, and it’s only allowed above the waist (腰) and below the shoulders.
Men and women play lacrosse, but the rules are slightly different for men’s and women’s teams. For example, the women wear less protective clothes and body checking is not allowed. Rules also differ depending on if the team is a youth team, a college team or a professional team.
32. What do we know about crosses?
A. They can be different sizes.
B. They are used to store the ball.
C. They can help protect the players.
D. They have round nets on the end.
33. What do goalies do?
A. Pass the ball.
B. Score the points.
C. Protect team members.
D. Defend the goal net from shots.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Body checking is against the rules.
B. Attacking opponents’ legs is forbidden.
C. Players can pass the ball with their hands.
D. The game begins with midfielders’ competition.
35. Which of the following is TRUE about lacrosse rules?
A. They apply to all types of team alike.
B. They are different for different teams.
C. They limit protective clothes in men’s teams.
D. They permit body checking in women’s games.

For most Americans, plastic bags are a necessary part of any shopping trip. 36 But plastic bags that end up in oceans and on beaches are harmful to fish, birds and other wildlife. Several cities around the U.S. have either banned single-use plastic bags, tax (征税) them, or find other ways to limit their use. Those who support a bag tax say it encourages people to bring reusable bags. 37 But critics argue that taxing the use of plastic bags puts unfair stress on low-income families. Here two students share their views.
Grant Gordinier, 11, from San Diego, California, says, “ 38 Every year, 485 billion plastic bags are not recycled. Some end up in the ocean and can cause harm to sea life. Placing a small tax on plastic bags might encourage shoppers to bring their own reusable bags to stores. Reusable bags would cut down on waste in the environment. Businesses would also save money by not having to provide as many plastic bags to customers.”
However, Elle Belperio, 12, from Los Angeles, California, has different opinions. “ 39 Some grocery stores (杂货店) have bins for shoppers to recycle used bags. Other stores reward individual efforts. They give a small refund (退款) every time a shopper uses his or her own bag. If you reuse and recycle your plastic bag properly, you will not be hurting the environment. I know many families reuse them to pick up after their dogs. 40 Instead, the government should educate people in ways to reuse and recycle them.”
A. New York City will also ban plastic bags.
B. There are many ways to reuse plastic bags.
C. In my home, we find many uses for the bags.
D. Besides, they think it helps cut down on wastes.
E. Communities should limit the use of plastic bags.
F. I don’t think communities should tax plastic bags.
G. Many people seldom think of the bags’ influence on the environment.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写， 使之构成一个完整的故事。
Michelle was eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Jack, now only an infant（婴儿）.. He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack the baby now but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mom. "Only a miracle can save him now.”
At the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took out all the coins from her little moneybox. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out the back door and made her way to the drug store six blocks away . . .
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist（药剂师）turned around and asked her. “And what do you want?”
“Well, it's' about my brother,” Michelle answered . “He's really, really sick . . . and 1 want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon?”said the pharmacist. “His name is Jack and he has something very bad growing inside his body and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don't sell miracles here, little girl .I'rn sorry but I can't help you, ” the pharmacist said. “Listen, I have money to pay for it.” And with these words, Mich poured out all the coins from her pockets. At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down and ask the little girl. “I'm selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents, ” Michelle answered in a low voice. “And it's all the money I have, but I can some more if I need to.”
“Well, ” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents— the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. Show me the place where your brothers lives.”

Dear Peter,
Recently I have some trouble with my English learning. So I'm waiting to ask for your help.
Learning English now seems to become increasingly boring for me and consequently I often fail to concentrate in class. Besides, finishing my homework on time is sometimes a terrible struggle, leading to my confidence significantly decreasing. As a result, my grades begin to fall sharply, which makes me really anxious.
I would be truly grateful if you could offer me some tips on how to develop my passion for English again. Many thanks!
Yours

Paragraph 1 :
Holding the man's hand firmly , Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. Later, the little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents and it wasn't long before Jack was home again and doing well. Michelle was very happy. Now she knew the exact price of a miracle . . . one dollar and eleven cents . . . plus the faith of a little child.
Paragraph 2 :
When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed , “when I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I finally decided to help the family out of trouble. It doesn't matter how much money she actually had with her; what matters is her faith, a faith that miracles do exist.”

Each organization has an advisor, but student members plan all activities and events. In a university there are as many as hundreds of student organizations for students to choose from. Each student is sure to have a club or group that fits his needs or interests. The clubs range from religion to community service, sports and hobbies. For example, there are ski clubs, yoga clubs, dance clubs, etc. If you cannot find a club that you are interested in, you can have an idea for a new club, and form one youself. All you have to do is to pass the idea through the school nd find an advisor and if the school agrees, you’ll have a new student organization!
Clubs and organizations help students explore their interests, which may turn into lifelong hobbies or even become their careers in life.
