a Thai beach hit by a tsunami in 2004 and had been named Child of the Year (2005) by readers of a French
children"s newspaper.
She came ahead of a South African Aids orphan, a six-year-old girl who survived a kidnapping by pedophiles
(有恋童癖的人) and a young Parisian pop singer to win the Mon Quotidien award.
Tilly had studied tsunami with her geography teacher, Andrew Kearney, shortly before flying to Thailand
for a holiday with her parents and younger sister last year.
As she watched the waves suddenly begin to fall back, and the sea was bubbling, she wamed her mother,
Penny, that the beach was about to be struck by a tsunami. Mrs Smith and her husband, Colin, alerted other
holidaymakers and hotel staff and scores of people were cleared from Maikhao beach at Phuket.
Tilly, now 11, and back in Thailand for anniversary commemorations of the disaster, said:"It"s re- ally good,
just to know about tsunami or any natural hazard in case you are in one. I"m very glad that I was able to say on
the beach that a tsunami was coming. And I"m glad that they listened to me."
She had earlier said that the state of the sea, which was "sizzling (发出咝咝声) and bubbling", was "exactly
the same as in my geography lesson."
Tilly read a Thai poem entitled Tsunami at a candle-light vigil to commemorate (纪念)victims of the disaster.
She is unaware of her remarkable (非凡的) popularity among French children. Her picture appears on the
front page of Mon Quotidien, which is read by 10 to 14-year-olds.
"Our readers chose Tilly because they could identify with her," said Francois Dufour, the editor-in-chief.
"To be a pop star at 11 seems impossible, and the idea of having Aids or being kidnapped is remote from their
lives."
B. children from Britain
C. people from France
D. government in France
B. Two
C. Three
D. Without limit
B. Water rising suddenly with huge sounds.
C. Waves receding suddenly and bubbling.
D. Waves rising and fishes turnig over.
the most famous novelist of his day. Busy as his social life was, he worked on two novels at the same time-
Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers. He was particularly proud of Pickwick Papers, which was a huge success
and was regarded as a comic (喜剧) masterpiece (杰作). "If I were to live a hundred years and write novels
in each, I should never be so proud of any of them as I am proud of Pickwick Papers," he said.
It has been said of Dickens that he grasped (抓住) the imagination of" his readers because his imagination
grasped himself. The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry. When writing
Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin, the wrongdoer (做坏事的人), had been hanged.
Dickens" marriage to Catherine Hagarth, with whom he had nine children, ended unhappily in 1858. He
started to travel about giving readings of his works. His interest in theater gave his novels the qualities that
made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage. A tiring trip to the United States affected his health. On June

the unfavorable images (形象) of mice and rats. But with his efforts in the 20th century, an American young
man Walt Disney changed people"s view.
Born in 1901 in Chicago, Walt Disney was a newspaper seller, and was fond of drawing pictures. Later
he went to study arts in a Chicago institute. One day when he was thinking hard how to draw a picture in a
building, several mice crawled (爬) onto the drawing board. Walt fed them with bread bits, and they played
happily.
Suddenly an idea struck Walt. He drew a mouse on the paper and named it Mickey. Then Walt began to
make cartoon films based on Mickey. He also made use of the newest skill in dubbing (为....配音) in his
cartoons so that Mickey was able to talk. In 1932 a Walt Disney cartoon film won the Oscar.
In mid-1950s, Walt planned a Disneyland in California, and within 10 years, Mickey, the little mouse,
helped him to make 200 million dollars. Then another Disneyland was set up in Florida, Mickey Mouse seemed
to become the symbol (象征) of American amusements.
In the Mickey Mouse films, when Mickey did anything wrong or foolish, letters of protest (抗议) would
soon be sent to Disney. He then created Donald Duck and Pluto to do the silly things so that Mickey was
always pretty and honest. With Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney challenged the worldly view that it was able to
change the nature of anything born in dirty surroundings.

comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult
mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problem.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought
he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told
Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆形).
Then Halley set to work. He figured out (解决, 计算出) the orbjts of some of the comets that had been
observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607,
and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley
thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He
decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back
again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction (预言) of what would happen
in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before
Halley"s prediction could be tested.
In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since
then that comet had been called Halley"s comet, in his honour.
B. the same comet appearing at different times
C. three different comets appearing three times
D. several comets appearing at the same time
B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the work of other scientists
D. by chance
B. 1705
C. 1706
D. 1707
B. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley
D. Halley and his discovery
B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C. Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.
D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of a triangle.
