American teenagers were able to do just that. The teens-two males and one female-got an all-expenses paid,
yearlong hike to five continents.
This trip didn"t include any five-star hotels or shopping funs. Eighteen-year-old Jamie Fiel from Keller,
Texas, 17-year-old Arsen Ewing from Canyon, California, and 16-year-old Tyler Robinson from Lincoln,
Massachusetts, didn"t expect fancy treatment. They signed up for the experience of a lifetime, which included
hard work, often uncomfortable accommodations, and encounters (遇到) with some of nature"s most
dangerous animals and environments.
Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler were among hundreds of high school kids nominated (提名) by their science
teachers to take this trip. Earthwatch Institute sponsored (赞助) this adventure. Each year, Earthwatch
employs thousands of volunteers worldwide to help with scientific research projects. The group went all
around the world to get a close look at the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Their assignments
were as varied as their locations, and included measuring and attending pink flamingos in Kenya"s Great Rift
alley, and tracking giant sea turtles in Costa Rica.
As they worked with the Earthwatch scientists, Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler began to understand that we are
at a critical moment in the life of our planet. Time for change is running out. As the teens went from country
to country and witnessed different environmental dangers and challenges, they understood that solutions to
important environmental issues start with the power of one person"s actions. They realized that each of them
can make a difference.
B. to bring the kindness of America to the other parts of the world
C. to go on sightseeing around the world
D. to call on more teenagers to join Earthwatch Institute

| Brodie"s unusual story began in 1984 when she lost her right front leg in a hunting accident. Just two years old at the time, Brodie recovered quickly and had no trouble getting around on three legs."Most people meeting her for the first time didn"t know that she had only three legs because she was so quick," says Mrs. Willey, Brodie"s owner. Bad luck struck Brodie again at the end of 1989 when she developed bone cancer in her right hind (后面的) leg. To stop the cancer from spreading to the rest of her body, the leg had to be amputated (截肢). Mrs. Willey and her family considered putting Brodie to sleep, as owners often do. But Mrs. Willey believed that Brodie was brave enough to succeed at walking on two legs." I knew that if any dog could make this situation work, it was Brodie, and if any owner could, it was me." Soon after Brodie was brought home from the pet hospital, Mrs. Willey began walking the dog by tying a towel under her body and holding it like a sling (吊带). Brodie"s left front leg was already strong to keep the front of her body balanced. Mrs. Willey said it was only a matter of time until Brodie was strong enough in her left hind leg and we let go of the sling. It has now been a year since her operation, and Brodie gets around like any four-legged dog. Mrs. Willey says," It just proves that you can"t give up anyone or any dog." | |||||||||||||||||

| It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. 1 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salisbury. I was going along 2 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a 3 scream- " Help!" I looked round, but the only 4 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking (可疑的) car just 5 a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I 6 speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw 7 me. As I drew near, the girl"s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with 8 . "Let me go, you coward; you"re hurting me. Oh! Oh!" I felt my 9 boil. The fog was coming down 10 now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no 11 that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry. "Drop that knife, you fool. Oh!" Then a cry and a groan (***). If I was to save her, it was now or 12 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn"t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to 13 . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its 14 , and its brakes (煞车) screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and 15 into the ditch (沟) at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out. "You fool!" he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was 16 than he. I put all I could into 17 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It 18 him right on the point of the chin; his 19 slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car, 20 open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice. "You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately." | |||||||||||||||||
