I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack.About a week after his death,she shared some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.
As the late afternoon sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over,she moved a few things aside on her desk and sat down there.With a gentle look of reflection(沉思)on her face,she said,“Before class is over,I would like to share with all of you a thought that has nothing to do with our class today,but I think it is very important.Each of us is put here on earth to learn,share,love and enjoy.None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end.It can be taken away at any moment.”
Her eyes beginning to water,she went on:“So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on,on your way to school,or on your way home,find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see,it could be a scent---perhaps of newly baked bread coming out of someone’s kitchen,or it could be the sound of the soft wind slightly touching the leaves in the trees...”
The class was completely quiet.We all picked up our books and went out of the room one by one silently.That afternoon,I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had in a whole term.
Take notice of something special on your lunch hour today.Go barefoot(赤脚)or walk on the beach at sunset.For as we get older,it is not the things we did that we often regret,but the things we didn’t do.

I gave the young man I had rescued bread,raisins(葡萄干)and water.After his run and hiking to the cave,he was tired out.I showed him a pallet(草垫子)and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep.
As I studied him,I guessed his age at around twenty-six.He was tall with straight,strong limbs(肢).The young man slept for only about a half hour before crawling out of the cave. Again he made gestures(手势)to show that he was grateful to me.
We communicated primarily by gestures at first.Soon my new servant showed himself much better at learning my language than I was at learning this.I called him Friday,for it was on Friday that I rescued him.He quickly learned“yes”and“no”and the names for various items.
We spent a full day at the cave,then returned to the beach to see if his captors(野人) remained.They had gone.Over time,Friday told me that when two tribes(部落)went to war, the victor always took away the bravest warrior(士兵)of the enemy tribe.They even ate him to get the ferocity(残暴)and courage of the warrior.I felt sick after hearing this,it sounded more than a little disgusting to me.However,Friday felt it was as natural as breathing.
---Extracted from The Adventure of Robinson Crusoe

B.raisins
C.bread
D.water

Recently,a group of college students have translated the lyrics
of over60Chinese songs into English in order to help foreigners
better understand and enjoy local music.The team,named Melody
C2E,is made up of some students from Shanghai International
Studies University who share a love for Chinese culture,the English
language and music.
Pan Jianghao and Lin Hongying are the two founding members of Melody C2E.While Pan is mainly translating and singing these songs,Lin operates their WeChat account.”We feel that many Chinese people are quite familiar with the latest English songs while foreigners are not that familiar with Chinese songs,especially songs with a deep cultural background or complicated lyrics(复杂歌词),"said Lin.
To bring out the beauty of Chinese songs and introduce them to foreigners,they posted their first song on WeChat in September2016.Through sharing and re-posting,the song received warm feedback(反馈).More students got to know the group and have recognized their efforts.Together they founded a student association(社团)which now has over70members.
According to the team members,they are not only translating but also recreating the song and its lyrics,looking for the right words to fill in the gaps(隔阂)between the two languages. Now,they release a new song every Saturday via WeChat,along with its vocabulary and translations,as learning material for other students.Some of their recreated songs have gained over tens of thousands of views on social media.
After their graduation,both Pan and Lin will begin new careers.Melody C2E,however, will live on."I hope we will hold onto our original aspiration(最初的愿望),which is to bring touching Chinese stories and songs to people around the world,"said Pan.
62.Some college students have translated Chinese songs into English in order to______.
A.practise their skills
B.help foreigners have a better understanding of Chinese songs
C.get ready for their graduation

A.An English student who is the best in his classroom.
B.An American student who is good at sports at school.
C.A Japanese student who does well in writing songs.

B.There are more than70members in the student association.

In Nanjing there are many buses going around the city,and they cost only1or2yuan to take.So many people like taking a bus to school or to work.But when an elderly person gets on the bus,are you willing to give your seat to him?
Some people on the bus don’t like to help the elderly.They just close their eyes,listen to the music
without looking at the elderly.Some will turn their faces to look out of the windows.Even when the bus driver keeps asking people to help the elderly,they are still on the seat.
However,we should help each other because anyone may need others’help.Next time,please try to help the person who needs help on the bus.You can let the elderly people get on the bus before you,or give your seat to the people with children.Then all the people will live a happy life.。
