Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of
people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk.
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me," they attract conversationalists, who one evening included
a mental patient, and men in business suits. They don"t collect money.
They don"t push religion (宗教). So what"s the point?
"To see what happens," said Liz. "We simply enjoy life with open communication (交流)."
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington,
a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with
strangers after their return.
"It started as a crazy idea," Liz said. "We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life
stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything."
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two
days, to let the two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind," Marcia said. "To be
able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over
the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have
expressed interest in a book, something they say they"ll consider.
B. Setting up street signs.
C. Telling stories to strangers.
D. Organizing a speaker"s corner.
B. normal
C. crazy
D. successful
B. They happened to meet the writer of the text.

C. They agreed immediately.
D. They find it hard to do that.

present given by one of my students when I attended (参加) the "Go-to-the-countryside" program last
summer holiday. Every time I open the notebook, it brings back happy memones.
Last summer vacation, for the purpose of serving society and meeting other social communities, nine
students, including me, formed a group as a service team heading for a school in the remote (偏远的)
mountain area of our country.
We spent one week there, mainly teaching the students English, as planned. We had known ahead of
time that their English was rather poor. And what was worse, they didn"t like leaming English. So we came
up with a logo and carefully chose four topics for our students. The logo was:I"m not shy; I can speak
English loudly. The four topics were:my dream, my family, my hometown and what a wonderful world.
We intended to encourage their interest in leaming English and help them build the confidence in speaking
English. We created a very active and relaxed atmosphere (气氛) while teaching. In addition, the topics
were fit for us to communicate with them and build up a good relationship.
At the beginning of each class, our students were asked to shout out the logo. And it was clear that they
were very happy to shout in English. The content of our lessons was closely related to the four topics. We
also covered moral (道德的) education while teaching. In class, we showed great happiness for any progress
made, such as a correct pronunciation, the right spelling, a brave answer, etc.
Altough the time we spent together was short, we and our students became good friends. When we had
to leave them, they gave up lots of little gifts expressing their appreciation of our teaching. The notebook
was the one I liked best.

C. A Valuable Notebook
D. A Good Service Team

or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3 000 meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell farther
and farther behind.
"Hooray!" shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meeting. The first-place runner
was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.
"Maybe I should 7 ," I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I
ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn"t be worth it, 11 my foot did heal.
When I finished, I heard a cheer 12 than the one I"d heard earlier. I turned around and 13 , the boys were
preparing for their race. "They must be cheering for the boys."
