The HOPE IS A GAME--CHANGER PROJECT will deliver unbreakable soccer balls to kids who, all too often, see things horrible, broken and not survive the simplest of circumstances. The project started taking form well before anyone knew where it would lead –which is to test the power of like-minded people working together to turn inspiration into action.

Four years ago Bobby was in Rwanda offering help to the people there and taking photos of a child soldier named Moise with his “soccer ball”，which was a pile of rubbish tied together with a string. This “ball” was the only thing Moise could call his own --- no family, no home, no place to go. Forced to fight in the Congo and having killed three people at the unbearably young age of seven, the boy’s spirit was broken. And Bobby knew, as he took one photo after the next, that he’d never forget him. In fact, he returned the following year to tell Moise he had stayed deep within his heart ---but he was gone.

I recently helped Bobby launch his new book The Power of the Invisible Sun which features a photo of Moise, his ball, and kids from war-torn areas around the world. All of his earnings go towards the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT for the kids he visited over the past decade. They caught the emotional landscape from heartbreak to joy, but share the undeniable longing for recovery and hope.

Bobby and I share the unchangeable belief that delivering hope is really a game-changer, especially to a child. We believe that each indestructible ball will come to represent a lasting symbol of hope. A light no matter how small---The Power of the Invisible Sun.

This holiday season, I ask you to think about whether you are doing enough to help someone else in the world. Or as Bobby likes to put it, consider “taking a concrete baby step”, which added together, can create transformational change. It’s my great hope that the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT will change the lives of children the world over --- one book, one ball at a time.

Earthquakes are the shaking, rolling or sudden shock of the earth’s surface. Earthquakes happen along “fault lines” in the earth’s crust. Earthquakes can be felt over large areas although they usually last less than one minute. Earthquakes cannot be predicted —— although scientists are working on it!

Most of the time, you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground. You may notice hanging plants swaying or objects wobbling on shelves. Sometimes you may hear a low rumbling noise or feel a sharp jolt. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation was like riding a bicycle down a long flight of stairs.

The intensity（強(qiáng)度）of an earthquake can be measured. One measurement is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes below 4.0 on the Richter scale usually do not cause damage, and earthquakes below 2.0 usually can’t be felt. Earthquakes over 5.0 on the scale can cause damage. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is considered strong and a magnitude 7.0 is a major earthquake. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province in 2008, was magnitude 7.8.

Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes, shakers or seismic activity. The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON. So remember to DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER and HOLD ON during the shaking.

Which statement about earthquakes is Not correct?

A. Earthquakes are the result of the sudden shock of the earth’s surface.

B. Earthquakes usually can be felt because they can last for a long time.

C. There are usually some signs for people to notice an earthquake.

D. People can feel an earthquake over 6.0 because it is very strong.

A. was riding a bicycle                 B. was just climbing the stairs

C. heard a low rumbling noise                  D. felt like riding a bicycle

What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Most of the time, people can not feel or predict the earthquakes.  

B. Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes shakers or seismic activity.

C. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province in 2008 caused serious damage.

D. When an earthquake happens, it is important to drop on the floor immediately.

Advertising Everywhere

      1      Now that messages can go around the world at high speed，the world is becoming smaller and products can be sold everywhere．But it is true that the problems of international advertising—problems of language and culture—have become larger than ever．For example，Braniff Airlines wanted to advertise its fine seals，but when its advertisement was translated from English into Spanish，it told people that they could fly without wearing clothes!

    To avoid problems in translation，most advertisement firms are now writing completely new ads．In writing new ads，international advertisers must choose different methods of advertising for different countries．In some countries，an advertisement usually gives a description of the product

and explains why it is better than others．      2      But in Japan，the message is based more on situations and feelings than on words．For this reason，many television advertisements broadcast in Japan show people at a party，picnic，or in some other pleasant situations．They will

not say that a product is better than others．Instead，the goal will be to create a good feeling about

the product

                3      For instance，certain countries will not allow TV advertisements on Sundays，and others will not allow them for children’s products on any day．The world advertiser who does

not understand such laws aud customs will soon have problems．

    Finally，there is the choice of what to advertise．      4     So the best advertisement in the world means nothing if the product is not suitable for the market．Comparing such as McDonald’s in Hawaii，you will find Chinese food provided on the menu．If you stop at a McDonald’s in Germany，you can order a beer with your meal．

All of these products must be sold with the right kind of message      5      But no matter how difficult this job may be，it is very important for global advenrtisers to do it well．Knowing how to advertise in the world market can help companies for success．

A．People around the world have different likes and dislikes．

B．This is true in the United States，Britain，and Gemany

C．They just show how the product is made

D．In the advertising industry，selling products is the most important goal

E．International advertisers must also consider differences in laws and customs

F．It can be explained by a word，a passage，or even a picture

G．It can never be an easy job for advertisers to create message
