I thought you might see that I have Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), and that you wouldn't like me. My mom thinks that's silly. "Have you ever met anyone who didn't like you because you have Down syndrome?" she asks me. She's right, of course. When people ask me what Down syndrome is, I tell them it's an intellectual disability (智力残疾) that makes it harder for me to learn things. I just want to be like everyone else. But having Down syndrome is what makes me "me". And I'm proud of who I am. I'm a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends. A lot like you Even though I have Down syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I'm on the swim team and in chorus at school. Some of my classes are with typical (正常的) kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have a helper who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me advice on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also make myself do well. For example, my goal (目标) was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. And that's exactly what happened this year! Dream job: singer I try not to let anything get me down and just think of all the good things in my life, like that I've made two songs. Right now, someone else is singing my songs, but someday, I want to be the one singing. See me But I still have to tell myself all the time that it really is OK to just be myself. I can't change that I have Down syndrome, but one thing I would change is how people think of me. I'd tell them: Judge (评价) me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Respect (尊重) me and accept me for who I am. Most important, just be my friend. After all, I would do the same for you.24.

Some people can find and learn to show it early, while others might discover it later in life. We are all creative, and we need to create as much as we need to eat, breathe and sleep. Creativity has different meanings for different people, but unluckily a lot of things may stifle the development of it. And the importance of creativity is not valued as much as it should be. However, it has a powerful effect (影响) on one's overall ability to get true happiness and success in life. If we stifle our creativity or lower its importance, we may create blockages (阻碍) in other parts of life. This can stop us from improving things like health, work and personal relationships. No matter how busy one is, it is very important to leave some time to develop creativity. Trying out different hobbies is a great way to discover one's creativity because it can be very enjoyable. Some people find one hobby and fall deeply in love with it. Some people prefer to try different hobbies for short time, or change them up each season to stay interested and keep trying different things. One great thing about a hobby is that there are no set rules. Each person gets to decide how often they want to do it and whether they want to keep it for a long time or move on to something else after trying it for a few weeks or months. Another cool thing about hobbies is that one can enjoy them quietly when spending some free time alone, or as a way to fit in a community (集体). Book clubs, art or cooking classes, gardening clubsnearly every type of hobby offers a chance to meet with other people with the same interest and build relationships. This could be helpful on both a personal and a professional (专业的) level. Hobbies can be a great way to create a community among co-workers. Sometimes if co-workers are not getting along, having them take part in a seemingly non-work-related hobby can be great for creating common ground. Usually, the simple act of developing hobbies can provide a chance for a person to find and show his or her creativity, which will produce great active changes. When people experience something as simple and great as creating something beautiful through hobbies, they begin to look at the worldand daily environmentsin a fresh, new way.28.

The Ross family is a busy one. The parents, Margy and Scott, both work for big companies and usually spend lots of time traveling for their jobs. Their daughter, Katie, is busy with schoolwork. Needless to say, great family time is hard to come by. So, vacations are very important. They can help the family grow together. When Scott didn't have vacation in 2004, Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor (劳动) along with a cultural experience. By searching for international volunteering (志愿服务) chances on the Internet, she found Global Volunteers. Together, Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica. They really loved being part of the tiny local community and part of a team with like-minded people from different countries. Six months later for their Christmas trip, they went back, taking Scott this time. Since then, the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each year. As Margy says, "It's almost like summer camp for the family." For Scott, this kind of volunteer work is different because it provides chances to give back and brings personal satisfaction. "You can really see the fruits of your labor-school dining room and community center," he says. "And one of the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community; it's great to see the community become a better place." There was an especially unforgettable experience for the family one year when they visited their local volunteer leader Roberto, who was badly ill. "Katie and I visited Roberto every day for fifteen minutes. On the last night of our trip, Roberto told us he was thankful because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers," recalls Margy. Thinking about the experiences, Scott suggests that families do volunteering together on vacations for many reasons. "There are no expensive hotels," he says, "but it's a great way to model some great behaviors (行为) for your kids. I never expected this impacted (影响) Katie. She's now taking two language classes in high school and hoping to learn about international development in college."(1) What did Margy plan in 2004? (2) Where did Margy and Katie take part in the building project? (3) How long does the Ross family vacation last each year? (4) Why did Roberto feel thankful for his volunteering work? (5) What are the advantages of family volunteering vacations? 33. 我每天收拾我的房间。（ tidy up） 34. 过去，我们依赖信件进行交流。（depend on, communicate） 35. 英语俱乐部已经赢得了很多学生的喜爱。（club, win the hearts） 36. 老师们说他们很期待 Bob 参加足球比赛。（expect, match） 37. 请根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50 词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。假如你是李明，你们学校将要组织题为“My best friend”的英语演讲比赛，请你写一篇英文演讲稿，内容包括：你朋友是什么样的人，你们为什么会成为好朋友，以及从他/她身上你学到了什么。提示词语：tall, kind, help, share, care提示问题： What is your best friend like?
