Perhaps every old generation since ancient times has complained about young people, and today is no different. Isn’t it clear that compared with our glorious selves, kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?

However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been restored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and unselfishness — even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.

At age 5, Rachel had her long hair shorn off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.

Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called charity: water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 — which had left her just a bit disappointed.

Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page — charitywater.org/Rachel — and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.

But Rachel couldn’t hear that she had raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had raised for charity: water on his 17th birthday. “I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly had a crush on (迷戀) him,” Rachel’s mom said.

When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children.

Word about Rachel’s last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.

This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively.

1. What does the author think of today’s kids after he knew the story of Rachel Beckwith?

A. They are good at social network.

B. They are unselfish as grown-ups.

C. They can get problems settled effectively.

D. They have narrow minds and care about nothing.

2.When was it that Rachel’s hair was donated for the final time to Locks of Love?

A. At her age of 5.

B. After her death.

C. Right after the traffic accident.

D. Before her ninth birthday.

3.Why did each of Rachel’s friends donate $9 to charity: water?

A. Because she had asked them to do that.

B. Because she set up her birthday page on June 9th.

C. Because she began to raise money from her ninth birthday.

D. Because she died at the age of 9 and they wanted to honor her.

4. The singer Justin Bieber was mentioned in the text, mainly because ______.

A. Rachel collected more than him who she admired

B. he had donated on Rachel’s page on his 17th birthday

C. Rachel would have been overjoyed for his donation

D. Rachel’s mom said she secretly had a crush on him

5.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Rachel’s hair donations.

B. A kind girl, Rachel.

C. The author’s impression of today’s kids

D. A lesson from Rachel.

Plastic is everywhere because plastic is an extremely useful material.It is cheap, strong and lightweight.What’s more, it can take on nearly any form or shape, from soft and stretchy (有彈性的) to hard and glasslike.

Plastic, however, is far from perfect.It may even be bad for us.Studies now suggest that poisonous chemicals can get out of some types of plastic, get into our bodies, and cause a variety of health problems, including cancer, birth defects and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意缺陷障礙).

Two types of chemicals in particular have raised special concern lately.They are called phthalates (鄰苯二甲酸鹽) and Bisphenol-A (二酚基丙烷), BPA for short. Not all plastic products contain them.But the ones that do are surrounded by controversy (爭(zhēng)議).That’s because experts disagree on how dangerous these chemicals are.

Plastic is a single word, but plastic isn’t just one thing.What all plastics share in common are plasticizers -- special chemicals that allow the material to be changed into nearly any shape or texture.Plasticizers (塑化劑) are added to plastic during the manufacturing process.

Phthalates and BPA are two types of plasticizers that work in different ways.Phthalates add softness to things like shampoo bottles, raincoats and rubber.They are also used in perfumes and makeup.BPA, on the other hand, gives a hard, clear, almost glasslike feel to products such as infant bottles.BPA also appears in food and soda cans, DVDs and other unexpected places.

How do these chemicals get into us? When plastic is heated in the microwave or dishwasher, chewed on or scratched, the chemicals can seep (滲透) out of the plastic.Even though we can’t see them, we eat them, drink them and breathe them in.

Scientists and parents are especially worried about young children, who tend to chew on everything, including plastic.Dozens of countries, including the European Union, Japan, Canada and Mexico have already banned phthalates from products made for children younger than three.California and Washington have done the same.And a number of other states are considering similar rules.As for BPA, Canada became the first country to ban the chemical from baby bottles.A dozen states are considering it.

1.What can we know about the plastic from the first paragraph?

A.Its characters and effects.

B.Its wide use and bad points.

C.Its importance and chemicals.

D.Its popularity and advantages.

2.Which of the following products contains BPA?

A.A soft plastic cup. B.A pencil eraser.

C.A baby milk bottle. D.A new perfume.

3.Phthalates and BPA can get into us __________.

A.through mouth or nose

B.through blood transfusion

C.by feeling plastic products

D.by heating in the microwave

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.A new ban on plastic products.

B.Problems caused by the plastic.

C.Good points of the plastic.

D.The use of plasticizers.

Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. Thirty minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.
