Every night in Jinan University in Guangahou， a group of students plays diabolo（空竹） as a crowd watches on in amazement.

Chen Zhelun，25，a malaysian-chinese started the diabolo club， which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country＇s cultural heritage（遺產(chǎn)） by starting clubs.

The diabolo， which came from China， is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia.

“We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone to

play with in China， but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop

it.” says Chen

To Chena surprise， the old game has interested a huge crowd-more than 1，000 students have joined the club.

“It keeps your body strong and it＇s fun， ＂says Chet

Fan Dongling， 21， a student in Shenzhen University， says it＇s a shame that young people no longer enjoythe beauty of Chinese characters.

Although her club is quiet， Fan says it keeps members healthy， mentally and physically

Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some piece oftechnology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget， though， is just how useful andpowerful technology can be when we want to help others

There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（設(shè)備） lying around init. Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into myliving room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on. At the same time， I usuallyhave my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone， Even when i＇m not at home I amalways using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on myipcop.

I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteering

The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to helpothers and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From usingyour language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， thereis so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The UnitedNations， in fact， has a huge page with ＂Volunteers Recruited＂ on its website.

This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many organizations onlyrequire you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can reallyhelp make a difference to those in need.

I have come to realize that life is a long journey. Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.

When I was a little boy, I always looked forward to the next trip or the next holiday. Maybe it is because we lived in a small and boring town. When I finished school, I kept moving. In the first year out of school, I travelled with a friend and we visited over 17 countries in Europe, working in different jobs as we went. After this, I started studying. I studied at three different universities and lived in five different towns. That was my life. There was always someone else to get to know. All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family. When you stay in the same place, with the same persons, you start a whole new journey.

Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There you are challenged to face life, doing things such as trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it up and traveling again.

So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.

1.Why did the writer like moving around when he was a boy?

A. Because he liked being with friends.

B. Because he wanted to know about the world.

C. Because he lived in a boring and small town.

D. Because he didn’t love his family.

2.Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer went to Europe alone when he left school.

B. The writer kept moving during his whole life.

C. After the writer got married, he tried different jobs.

D. The writer thinks staying still is as important as traveling around.

3.What is the best title?

A. Go traveling B. Life is a long journey

C. Stay still D. Travel makes you better

“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, yet what power they have!

A boy named Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid(蓋子) of a pot move up and down. The boiling water makes steam. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. He went on thinking and thinking. When he grew up, he improved the steam engine(發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat or a steam train, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been the hard thinking of someone.

James was a poor farmer’s boy from Scotland. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he thought, “I am sure that I could make a watch too.” He kept thinking and then made a wooden clock which kept good time. In a few years while still a small boy, he made enough money to support his father. When he grew up, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to come and listen to him speak. His motto was “I will think of it” which means that he would be able to think of how to do something. In this way, he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.

Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think in a way that solves your problems, and the problem of others.

A. The boiling water made the lid of a pot move up and down.

B. Watt liked to sit quietly by the fireside, watching water.

C. He got a high education and learned a lot about water.

2.What do the people mentioned in the passage have in common?

D. They were rich and worked hard.

3.The underlined word “discouraged” in the last paragraph means _______________.

The Smith family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Smith children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many advantages to knowing more than one language.

If you can speak more than one language, you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.

Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.

Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.

It’s clear that knowing more than one language is really good. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

1.The passage begins with the experience of the Smith family in order to_______.

A. discuss the need for teaching a new language

B. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers

C. describe the advantages of moving to another country

D. show the problems of speaking only one language

2.The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 4) means “people who know ______.”

A. their mother language B. a new language

C. more than one language D. body language

3.According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?

A. Not knowing another language.

B. Forgetting one’s mother language.

C. Refusing to learn another language.

D. Failing to communicate with others.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The advantages of learning other languages.

B. The reasons why people come to America.

C. The importance of learning English

D. How to learn another language
