As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked（钩）a 41 from my parachute to a steel（钢制品）ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute 42 after I jumped. “Get ready, Henry,” Harry said. I moved carefully to the door.

A. boring B. bad C. no D. interestingB Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But thats not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “Im interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. Theres also world news: from international problems to pop stars. Read the newspaper carefully, well find different types of articles on the pages: News stories these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers ideas. Opinion writing opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isnt just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers. Advertisement Dont get happy too early when you read them.

However, without proper planning, your dream visit to Disney World could become an endless problem. A few tips can help both you and your children enjoy the visit. Disney World needs a great deal of walking, and unless(除非)you arrive during the off-season, the lines are often quite long. Thats going to make your children tired and angry. So make sure the kids have comfortable shoes and bring a stroller(婴儿车)if you have a small child. Bring along some snacks such as fruit or biscuits for times when they get angry. As for waits in line, it helps to have a few small toys to keep your children busy. Disney Worlds parks all have rides for young children. They also have rides children should not go onusually because they are not safe. For situations in which adults want to go on a fast ride such as Space Mountain or the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Disney has a “child swap” system that allows your group to keep in line togetherwhen you reach the ride, half of the group can take it while the rest stay with the children; then the groups exchange places. Think about each ride carefully and choose those you feel are best for your children. Besides, nothing is more important than safety inside the parks. Children can easily become lost among the crowded and finding them again may be a tough thing. So be careful to keep your children nearby and always watch their location.51.

The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude(态度) towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers(障碍). Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (无知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person(个人) and their ability, not their disability, which counts.54.
