Hope for a Safer World Close your eyes. Make a wish. What is it? You may want to have a cool schoolbag or do well in school work. Some teens in Beijing have a different wish. They want a peaceful world. In it,everyone can live happily.

There is an environment group,Roots and Shoots (才艮與芽) in Beijing. And,it had something for the teens to do on Sundays. It asked the teens to make a wish for World Peace Day. So,the young people got together to sing peace songs. They also "flew" some peace doves outside. That white bird means peace and love around the world.

The large doves were not real doves. They were made out of pieces of cloth. Students took them outside. Many countries do things like this for World peace Day every year.

In 1981,the United Nations (UN，聯(lián)合國(guó)) decided to have a World Peace Day. In 2001,September 21 became that day. Liu Xuesong is a Junior 1        student in Beijing. " I saw the children in Iraq (伊拉克) and other places on TV," she said, "I want to write letters to them and help them."

Many students also made kites. Zhang Yongzheng,13. from Beijing Xicheng Foreign Language School,made a kite in three days. She drew a lotus (荷花) and a bottle on it. In Chinese,lotus and bottle sound the same as the word "peace".

Her classmate,Zhao Chenning,drew some countries' flags on her kite. "We are a big family," she said. "I want the kite to fly high!Then everyone can see it and know my wish."

Pan Ziheng,a Junior 2        student at Beijing Yucai School,said ," I want to stop wars,so the lovely animals and plants can live well. I wish to work for the UN when I grow up. Now I will just be a good boy and be nice to everybody."

(   ) 11. How often do the members in the environment group meet?

   A. Every day. B. Every other day.

   C. Every week. D. Every month.

(   ) 12. What do the members in the environment group do?

(   ) 13. What do you know about the doves that the students fly from the passage?

   A. They are real doves that the students keep.

   B. They are real doves that the students bought.

   C. They are made of pieces of cloth.

   D. They are paper doves.

(   ) 14. Which of the following can't be seen on the kites made by the students?

   A. Doves. B. Bottle.

   C. Lotus. D. Some countries' flags.

(   ) 15. Which of the following is NOT the wish of the students?
