Language School, still can"t believe her 10-day free training (训练) camp in the Alps in Switzerland last month
was true!
But how did she achieve this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Last October, a piece of short world news in a newspaper—"Have a chance to see the world, for free",
caught her eyes. When she asked her friends if the story was real, they laughed at her, for they thought she
was day-dreaming. However, Li decided to apply (申请) online the following weekend.
"Opportunity is everywhere. I"d like to keep my eyes open and catch the chance." she told herself. What
happened next was tests on health, hobbies and awareness (意识) of environmental protection. She passed all
of them very easily.
On December 14, Li Jun surprised her friends with an invitation letter from the program, the Pangaea
Young Explorer Selection Camp set up by South African explorer Mike Horn.
On January 11, Li left for Switzerland, with several newly bought ski-suits in her suitcase. Over the
next week, she and 15 other teenagers from around the world took part in exciting training and lessons. They
took day-trips up the Alps to an altitude (纬度) of 3,200 meters, went sledging (滑雪橇) at night using modern
equipment. They were also encouraged to complete difficult journeys up mountains, down hills, and through
forests.
Because of her performance during the training, Li was chosen as one of the eight young explorers to
join Mike Horn in the South Island of New Zealand in May. She will write for the newspaper and share her fun
experiences there with readers.
B. They didn"t think it was true.
C. They all wanted to get the chance.
D. They had no idea of the news.

"Well, then," said the Minister, "how did you (15) make your choice? Did you choose the one that gave

answered the man, "I chose the company that I thought would do the work best and most cheaply, of course."
stop smoking.
He warned Maureen Harkavy, "Put that cigarette out, or I"ll land the plane and have you arrested."
Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline"s chairman. But his replay was evenruder.
"You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours"s atmosphere," wrote John
Ferriday of Paramount Airways.
(a) Said Maureen, "I only found out about it when I was checking in. I"m a nervous flyer so I lit a
cigarette during the filght. A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as
there was no rule against smoking on the plane." She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.
(b) I"ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, "I don"t think I"ll ever fly again." But there was a
funny side. Maureen explained, "We were offered duty-free (免税的) cigarette from the stewardess on
the plane!"
(c) Mr Ferriday went on, "Believe me, you haven"t. Expecially when you travel on my planes." Maureen
and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount filght just before they left Portugal. But they were
not told of the company"s (公司的) no smoking policy.
(d) "He was loud and rude,"said Maureen. "He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at
Bordeaux and hand me to the French police." Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen
wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

deer-hunting season, they took their guns and went off into the forest.
One Saturday they were sitting on a stone eating their sandwiches (三明治) and drinking their coffee
when they saw a man walking through the snow towards them. He was dressed in deer-hunting clothes,
but he had no gun with him. When he got nearer, the two friends saw that he was following a deer"s foot
prints. They were both very surprised to see a man following a deer without a gun. So when he reached
them, they stopped him and asked him whether any thing was wrong and whether they could help him.
The man sat down beside them, accepted a cup of coffee and told them his story.
Like them, he had gone out deer-hunting that morning with a friend. They had seen a deer with very
big horns (角), and had followed it for some time. Then he had fired at it, and it had fallen just where it
stood. He and his friend had run over to examine it, and he had said to his friend "This deer"s horns will
make a wonderful rack (架子) for my guns when I get it home." He had then put his gun in the deer"s
horns and stepped back to see exactly how they would look as a gun rack on the wall of his study. He
had been admiring the effect when the deer had suddenly jumped up, shaken itself and ran away, carrying
his gun firmly stuck in its horns.
Ｂ: a hunting experience of George and Peter
Ｃ: how a hunter lost his weapon while deer-hunting
Ｄ: how deer sometimes fool their hunter
schoolmates up to start a babysitting circle.
Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a
company with a ￡30000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than 15000 by next summer.
He set up Peter Backborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now
students all over the UK are using.
"I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative, " he says "I believed
that I could do a better job and decided to have a go."
Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies
course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his
business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one
holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
"Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get
a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company because that is what will
support me next year, after I leave college."
Friends believe that Blcakburn will make ￡1 million within 5 years.
He is not quite so sure, however, "There"s a lot to be done yet," he says.
a. He spent his holiday preparing a plan.
b. He collected newspapers.
c. He set up his own company.
d. He asded the bank for money.
e. He set up a babysitting circle.
Ｂ: b,e,a,d,c
Ｃ: b,e,d,a,c
Ｄ: b,e,c,a,d
Ｂ: already had a business brain.
Ｃ: was already managing director of a company
Ｄ: already set up his own business
I"m the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that"s not (1) now. I was the mid-field player because, as I

I had a lot on my mind (9) the game today. I don"t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game.
I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn"t sleep at all (10), and when
the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where (11) just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But
then when the game started, my mind became (12). I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn"t hear the
crowd, I didn"t feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the (13), and it was just me
and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light (14) me the way to, and it was a beautiful, empty feeling.
It"s all over now, and it"s really getting cold here. It"s starting to snow. The sun"s almost gone, and I can
(15) see the goal. Now it"s dark and I"m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it"s time to say good-bye and move
