forget - I wanted to be able to remind other adults and myself when the time came. I began consciously
thinking this at quite an early age.
As soon as I was fully aware of myself, I regarded me as a little person and liked adults who thought
of and treated me the same way. I didn"t have a doll and I didn"t want one. I wanted animal toys, even a
single animal. Why wouldn"t my parents give me the one thing I wanted? 2
Instead, my dad somehow managed to buy me a full set of encyclopedia (百科全书) and books with maps and color pictures long before I could read. Well, guess what? I learned to read without realizing it! Later, I found out when I started school and it all came so easy especially geography. 3 Because of all
the books my father bought me, I knew a lot of words that other children didn"t know at my age.
I love words. They opened up new worlds for me. 4 Parents, please make sure your kids have a
computer. Let them explore-as safely as possible-let them do their own things and discover the world.
Now, most kids lead a happy life. They can get what they want from their parents. But children should
learn to be independent. 5 Be independent to do your own things.
A. Because of them, I read and thought, and today, I write.
B. When I was a child, I promised myself to try to remember as much as I could.
C. I listened and heard everything, even if I didn"t understand everything.
D. I nearly knew every place on the map like the teacher.
E. But more than anything, it made me feel uncomfortable and I knew it wasn"t nice.
F. Later, I knew we didn"t have much money, but how expensive could a toy be?
G. Be independent to learn some useful knowledge.

starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had
wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program.
The Senate"s amendment (修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of
servings of potatoes or other vegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a
potato-growing state, supported amendment. "USDA"s proposed rule would have put significant and
needless costs on our nation"s school districts at a time when they can least afford it," Collins said.
Those in favor of potato limit say that children get enough potatoes already and should be encouraged
to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the
restrictions. "USDA"s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this," said the Center"s Margo Wootan, "Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes."
The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted.
Some schools have criticized the USDA"s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can"t
serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead.
Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less
grease (油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways.
The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next
year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato-growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. "This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and
affordable school meals." he said.

C. Supporting serving potatoes in school.

on Friday. The title came from an amazing speech about the beauty of the island in Shakespeare"s play.
Oscar-wining filmmaker Danny Boyle, the ceremony"s artistic director, said the theme was inspired by
a passage from William Shakespeare"s comedy The tempest.
Boyle, whose Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars, said he was trying to keep the details of the
July 27 ceremony under wraps, but he gave away the first details of the event, set to be watched by one
billion TV viewers.
Boyle said that he had had the biggest ringing bell made in Europe, which will hang at one end of the
Olympic Stadium and be rung to start the opening ceremony. Boyle told BBC that he wanted people to
hear it for hundreds of years.
Fellow film director Stephen Daldry, the creative director for the London Olympics opening
ceremony, told reporters the opening show would project a journey which will celebrate who we are ,
who we were and who we wish to be.
However, Boyle admitted that London would not rival (与……匹敌) the breathtaking opening
ceremony staged at the Beijing Olympics four years ago, due to the tougher economic times.
It was announced the ceremony in December that the budget for the opening and closing ceremonies
had been doubled to 81 million pounds.
Boyle also promised that the ceremony would be more intimate(个人的) than the splendid
performance of drummers and dancers in Beijing"s Bird"s Nest stadium.
Boyle also promised that the show would be armed with a British sense of humor.
B. A sports officer.
C. A film director.
D. A ceremony organizer.
B. It will be started by the ringing of a big bell.
C. It will include part of the play The Tempest.
D. It will be held on July 27th, 2012.
B. more impressive than the Beijing opening show
C. funded by the British government
D. presented with a British-style humor.
B. In a yearbook.
C. In a travel guide.
D. In a biography.
people went there in search for gold. Panning (淘洗) for gold has a rich and interesting history.
Nowadays some people continue to pan for gold in California. Although it cannot be regarded as a
method for earning income, taking on gold-panning as a hobby can give you a feeling of being in the old
west and get you out into nature.
The only tool that is required to pan for gold is a gold pan. You can use a regular old flat pan, but
"officially" gold pans are quite cheap so you may as well buy one that is made for the task. Most sold
pans come in either plastic or medal.
Once you have your pan you will want to start practicing your gold panning technique. Panning for
gold works because gold is much heavier than most rocks. To pan for gold you add rock and dirt form
the bottom of a stream to your pan and then gently let water flow through the pan. The lighter-weight
rocks are slowly swept away while any gold will be left behind in the pan.
To start panning for gold, first you will need to find a good location. Try checking maps of your area
and old history books to find location where there were gold mines in the past. Even though most of the
gold have already been removed, there are likely to be small leftovers that you can find. Once you have
found an area thatlooks promising, look for any small stream or river where you can try out panning for
gold.
Panning for gold requires patience and it may be a long time before you hit anything of value. However, it is an enjoyable hobby and provides a great opportunity to get outdoors, so don"t give up too quickly.
B. How gold-panning works.
C. What tools are needed.
D. A promising area for panning.
B. Indifferent .
C. Positive.
D. Neutral .
B. Health.
C. Travel.
D. Sports.

Drugs: No
Alcohol: No
Sports/ Activities: I used to do a lot of ballet and stage work, my ambition was to be a professional
dancer before I got sick. Nowadays I love to read, and other stuff like that, as well as spending a lot of
time with my family and friends.
Grades: I finished high school last year, and I haven"t started college because I"ve been sick. But I got
subject prizes in three subjects and high as in the rest.
Favorite Subject: I loved Music, English, History and Biology. Hard to pick a favorite - they"re all so
different.
Volunteer Work: It all depends on what you call "volunteer". Nothing really official, but I spend a lot of
my time working and playing with really sick kids, and they come to me for advice a lot.
What My Future Goals Are: I"d either like to go on to do stage work, or work with kids with serious
illnesses. I haven"t decided which, yet.
What I do in My Spare Time: Talk to my friends and my family. Hang around with my hospital friends. Watch TV. Go to the movies when I can. I love going on picnics and other outdoorsy stuff.
How I"d Change the World: No question. Cure cancer. Eradicate it forever.

C. She often visits hospitals in her spare time.
D. She has her own homepage on the Internet.
I can"t even remember what happened.
In the past nine years, I"ve seen her twice, and each time we"ve been polite but distant. And that
troubles me because we were once inseparable. I"d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and
continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you"ve lost throughout the years?
Linking to your past
The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn"t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past.
"Friends from years ago are custodians (监护人) of our past," says Sandy Sheehy.
Although you can share information about your past with friends you"ve met recently, you don"t have
a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with
them.
But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or
fear that the other person doesn"t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn"t be.
Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.
Searching for friends
Fortunately, finding lost friends isn"t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our
experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:
Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.
Contact your high school or college alumni (校友) office to request current address information.
Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend"s hometown.
Network with other friends who might have known your friend.

find the company"s website and search the directory of personnel.

D. By putting an advertisement in your friends" local town.
