"Disneyland Paris? You're not serious! " said Tim.

"Yes,I am," said Jenny. "Someone has donated money to the school for a Student of the Year Award. "

Tim,Jenny and William were waiting for morning assembly to start. Everyone around them was talking about the Student of the Year Award.

"How many people can go?"

"I don't know," said William,shrugging his shoulders. "Two maybe. Don't worry,Tim,if you win,it's OK for you to take me. "

" Not likely, " said Tim.

"That's enough talking," said Mrs. Barrow. Arkwright School's new Head Teacher was standing on the stage in front of them. "Can I have your attention,please." she said. She was a small woman with a very powerful voice. When she spoke,the children fell silent.

"I'm sure you have all heard about the new Arkwright School Student of the Year Award. Basically,we want you to think of an activity that will be good for both the school and the local community," said Mrs. Barrow. " Whoever thinks of the best idea for a project will get our Student of the Year Trophy(獎杯)and a family ticket for four people to Disneyland Paris. "

"That's it," said Tim. "I'm going to be Student of the Year. "

"Yes, you and two hundred others," said William. The children were all talking now and it was very noisy.

"And,I haven't finished talking yet, thank you," said Mrs. Barrow. These children laughed and then they were silent again.

"In addition to writing the plan, you actually have to do the project. We want to see results, not just ideas. "

One or two children started to talk again. Mrs. Barrow raised her hand.

"Some announcements. " she said. "Number One. Don't throw litter around the school and especially not in your classrooms. Some of the teachers are complaining. "

"All of the teachers are complaining, " whispered William.

"Sssh," said Jenny.

"Number Two. Please pay at the office if you are going ice skating on Saturday. "

"Brrr. Too cold," said William.

"William. Shut up ! " said Tim.

"And,Number Three,one important thing from the police. There have been reports of thefts in the Wrightham area,and one of our students has lost his phone. Possibly someone stole it. So please be careful. Report any suspicious behaviour to your class teacher, to me,or to the police,and please don't try to catch the thief yourself. "

"You behave very suspiciously, Tim, " said William. "I think I'll report you. "

"Thanks, William, " said Tim. "I'm glad I've got a friend I can depend on! ".

The label(標簽), Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer(零售商), have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.

When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren't rare any more, and anything 'Made in China' shouldn’t be considered in any case.

"When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words," a Chinese American said. "When they see the label 'Made in China,' they will think, 'Why do you send me this?' "

The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes(稅)and import restrictions. However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.

1.What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph?

A. 品牌 B. 明星 C. 生產(chǎn)地 D. 樹枝

2.Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China?

A. Because their Chinese friends cannot speak English.

B. Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China.

C. Because they should give their friends rare gifts.

D. Because they should give their friends fashionable gifts.

3.How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own countries?

A. By developing the qualities of their own products.

B. By telling their shoppers not to buy Chinese goods.

C. By importing more Chinese goods.

D. By using taxes and import restrictions.

During the last week of my sophomore year(大學(xué)二年級), Mom called me, hoping my summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa. My grandparents were both in their seventies, and I knew they really needed the help around the farm.

So I packed my car after the final exam and started my life on the farm. As weeks passed, I gradually settled into a routine of daily work with Grandpa. In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma.

On the last Saturday in June, I went fishing with my grandfather. Unexpectedly, we saw one of the swans was dead by the pond. Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their fiftieth anniversary. "Why don't we buy another one?" I suggested. Grandpa thought for a few moments and finally said, "no... it's not that easy, Bruce. You see, swans mate for life. There's nothing we can do for the one that's left. He has to work it out for himself." A few days later, we drove by the pond and found the other swan lying near the same place we had found the first one. It, too, was dead.

Then July 12 came. Grandma died suddenly that morning of a stroke( 中 風(fēng) ). My grandfather was obviously shaken when he heard the news.

The funeral was held the next day. On the second day after the funeral, Grandpa asked all the people to get back to their own lives. Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others,and we all worried about him.During the rest of the summer, we stayed busy working. I thought there was something different about Grandpa but couldn't tell exactly what it was.

September was nearing, I had to leave. As I drove down the driveway, he waved to me and then walked to the gate to start the morning livestock check. That's how I like to remember him.

Mom called me at school on a windy October day to tell me Grandpa had died. He died of a stroke, the same as Grandma.
