About ten years ago, I was on a plane going west, and a young woman 1and sat across the aisle (過道) from me. I noticed her for two reasons. She was very attractive, and she was holding a teddy bear about half her2. I teased her by asking if she had a3for the bear.She laughed and said no.
About halfway through the flight she4over and told me she was going to Tucson to enter rehab(康復(fù)治療). She5to share her life story with me. She had been working as a dancer in a nightclub. That6had led her down a dark7to drugs and alcohol. As I listened to her story, I was 8at all she had gone through. I listened to all she shared and told her I was sure she was going to9it. At the end of the10, she thanked me for listening to her.
A few years later, I got a11in the mail saying, “Wow, it’s been five years since we met on that plane. It is12how you touched my life.” She went on to tell me that she had13to stay away from drugs, and had been working for a radio station. She felt she had achieved things she could not have14that
day on the plane. We agreed to set up a time to get15.
When I saw her, she was16 the attractive young woman I remembered. She told me that that little17we had had turned her life around. She had got on the plane18anything would work in her life, and my affirmation of her as a person and of her19had given her the last bit of20she needed to work through her problems.
The young woman taught me it’s never too late to make a new start in life.

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

         Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. Schools were completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(個(gè)人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

    “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

    At the same time, In America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize(批評(píng)) American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two.

1.The world exchange programme is mainly to ________.

A.help teenagers in other countries know the real America

B.send students in America to travel in Germany

C.have teenagers learn new languages

D.let students learn something about other countries

2.Fred and Mike agreed that ________.

A.American food tastes better than German food.

A.there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings

B.students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

C.students usually take fourteen subjects in all

D.there are a lot of after-school activities

4.After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _________.

科目:高中英語 來源:2010年江西省高三10月月考英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

Scientists in Canada say big fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of industrial(產(chǎn)業(yè)的) fishing in the 1950s. The scientists found the numbers of some kinds of large fish have dropped by ninety percent in the past fifty years.

The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.

The scientists say the common method called long line fishing ravages the populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be nearly one hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish.

Long line fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. But long line fishing boats now might only catch one fish per hundred hooks.

The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years.

Ransom Myers and Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with the University of Kiel in Germany. Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete reorganization of ocean life systems. Meyers says the decreased numbers of large fish are not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors. He says not only are there fewer big fish, but also they are smaller than those of the past.

  It’s the end of this program ,Thank you for your listening.

D. Scientists spent ten years studying the populations of large fish.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. The number of big fish started to drop greatly about fifty years ago.
