Ma Yan is not really a writer. But this 15-year-old girl has written a book that has moved many people around the world. Ma Vans Diary tells us about Ma's life. She lives in a poor village called Zhangjiashu in Tongxin,Ningxia,and she has no money to go to school. But she is brave and has a strong desire (欲望) to go to school.
Her mother gave her diary to a French reporter,Pierre Haski,when he went to Zhangjiashu in 2001. Now it has been published in France,Italy,Germany,Japan and China.
Ma is now a Junior Three student at Yuwang Middle School in Tongxin. But she had to leave school twice before. The first time she had to quit school because her mum told her there was no money for her to go to school. She worked for 21 days and saved 13yuan. With this money she continued her study. The second time,her family told her she had to leave school so her two brothers could have enough money to go to school.
"I want to study," Ma wrote in her diary. "Why can boys study but girls can't? It would be wonderful if I could finish my study at school."
Ma loves school so much because she wants to have a better life.
"My parents work hard in the fields but they are still poor. They have no knowledge. Most girls in my village leave school early and get married young. I don't want that kind of life," Ma said.
After her story became known,many French students sent money to her. Ma's dream is the same as ever. She hopes to go to Tsinghua University and become a reporter. " Then I can find poor kids like me and help them," she said.

Many years ago,there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha.

Who Influences Teenagers?
"Teenager" means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they're young,they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these: Should I go to college? What kind of jobs do I want? However,other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here's what they said.
It depends on the kind of choices. When teenagers buy things,friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows,advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things,parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it's best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James,a seventeen-year-old boy says he's just "a crazy man". He also says, "Parents are really important because they can tell you what's right and wrong."
But teenagers also feel they need to make choices by themselves―to make their own mistakes. As one teenage girl said, "If our parents don't let us make our own choices,maybe in the future we won't know how to do it. " And they feel friends can also be a big help,and sometimes friends know more about their situation (处境) than their parents do.
Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever you depend on,the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand.
( ) 1. People from 13 to 19 can be called teenagers.
( ) 2. When teenagers buy clothes and music,friends are the most important influence.
( ) 3. TV shows and advertisements can't influence teenagers.
( ) 4. In more serious things,friends are probably the most important influence.
( ) 5. Sometimes friends know more about teenagers' situation than their parents.

科目:初中英语 来源: 题型:
When I was growing up,I had an old neighbor,Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor Fd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard,but he was a very kind person.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives,he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked him why. He said that watering plants spoiled them,and that if you watered them,each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker,so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow (浅的) roots,and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves.
Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak,and instead of watering it every morning,he'd beat it with a rolledup newspaper. I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then,I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twentyfive years ago. They're very big and strong now.
I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much,whenever a cold wind blows in,they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed,I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere,so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart,so when the rains fall and the winds blow,we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.
( ) 1. We know from the reading the doctor .
A. didn't know how to plant trees at all
B. wasn't good at his own medical job
C. had his own ways of planting trees
D. had nothing to do but plant trees
( ) 2. When Dr. Gibbs said upick out the weaker trees early on",he meant that .
A. some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
B. he would choose the weak trees to water earlier
C. the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
D. he would not plant weak trees so early any more
( ) 3. The passage tells us that the writer .
A. should beat his trees with a rolledup newspaper
B. didn't often water his trees
C. didn't have a large field
D. took too much care of his trees
( ) 4. The writer wants to change his prayer,hoping that
A. his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs'
B. his trees will not be beaten down
C. his sons will be better at planting trees
D. his sons will be able to face difficulties
( ) 5. Which can be the best title of the reading?
A. Watering Trees. B. Growing Roots.
C. Doctor and His Neighbor. D. Father and His Children.
