         Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime.
    More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick
    High School graduate in four years.
         Some people might say, "We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges." But Malaak
    Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, "Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges
    than you do." She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can
    handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick
    kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of
    Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.
         "Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs." Says
    Compton-Rock. "We want them to live a life of purpose and service."
         In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a
    child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens,
    cared for babies and bought groceries.
         "The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been
    abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS," says Queen Clyde, 12. "It's been good to be
    on this trip. But what's also important is what we do when it's finished. That's what counts." " I never
    appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing," says Sadara Lewis, 12 "It's really changed
    my attitude. I want to make a difference."
         The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their
    experience, fund-raising and more.
    1. What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
    [     ]
    A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City.
    B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government.
    C. It is children who suffer most in New York City.
    D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation.
    2. In Compton-Rock's opinion, the Bushwick kids _____.
    [     ]
    A. have few challenges
    B. should be kept out of schools
    C. can learn to deal with their own problems by helping others
    D. are living much better than people in Africa
    3. Compared to Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto _____.
    [     ]
    A. may have bigger challenges
    B. receive no care from the government
    C. are much more independent
    D. are able to lead the family
    4. According to the passage, "Journey for Change" can be best seen as the saying "_____".
    [     ]
    A. God helps those who help themselves
    B. saying and doing are two things
    C. one stone kills two birds
    D. a friend in need is a friend indeed
    5. From the passage we know that _____.
    [     ]
    A. there are few students in Bushwick High School
    B. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time
    C. most children are suffering from AIDS in Soweto
    D. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto

    　　阅读理解

    　　Silence is unnatural to map. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between be does all he can to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If be is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards him self as a failure ,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety nine percent fo human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.

    　　The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas ; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admirted, different qualitics. of buzz;there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made bu a mosquito(蚊子).But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing,forlunately,is pleasnnt to the ear,and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take pert in the buzzing with his neighbors.

    　　Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content it they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time. they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists.

         The Chinese have a set of proverbs that I feel truly reflects what lifelong learning attributes(特征)are.
    The following are some explanations of what they mean.  
        2    
         In Mandarin(中文), it is pronounced "Huo Dao Lao, Xue Dao Lao". Learning is an important part
    of existence. As we live and grow old, we should never stop learning. In every life stage, there are more
    things to learn. It shouldn't stop．
         There Are No Limits To Learning
         In Mandarin, it is pronounced "Xue Wu Zhi Jing". It means there are no limits to learning. The earlier
    lifelong learning attribute speaks about continuity．This speaks about no boundaries. You should not limit
    the fields of what you learn.     3    
         The Love For Learning Never Tires You
         Pronounced "Hao Xue Bu Juan" in Mandarin it is loosely translated, as the love for learning should
    never tire you. The first two lifelong learning attributes talk about continuous learning and no boundaries.
    Learning is dynamic. It is ever moving, ever changing．     4     When you have the perseverance for
    self-cultivation then the rewards are becoming more and more in life.
         Only After Learning, Do You Know What You Do Not Know
             5     Self-reflection is an important process in self-directed learning. In Mandarin it is pronounced,
    "Xue Er Hou Zhi Bu Zu". Translated - it means that only after learning we know what we do not know.
    This lifelong learning attribute of self-reflection creates a sense of insufficiency and thus generates an inner want to learn.
