Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals（信号）Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means yes. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means no. If you want the pilot to know that its safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that its not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so its a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isnt hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless youre sure that it cant spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIts a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you cant find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F I need food and water.II I need medicine.I I am badly hurt.X I am unable to move from here.Pilots repliesIf the pilot lowers the planes wings from side to side, this means message received and understood. (At night, the pilot flashes the planes green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means message received but not understood.(At night, the pilot flashes the planes red lights.)However, there is no signal which means message not received. Why not?21 . Which picture means its not safe land?ABCD22 . What can we learn from the passage?ASwinging your arm from side to side means yes.BIf the ground is dark, light smoke cant be seen.CIf you need some medicine, make a symbol II.DThe pilots make replies with a blue light at night.23 . What is the passage mainly about?AThe explanation of building signals on an island.BThe importance of making signals on an island.CWays of sending out signals on a lonely island.DWays of receiving signals from a lonely islandSometimes, little things can bring big changes. Justice and Nathaniel are learning this with music. A cello and a violin brought big changes to their lives. Justice and Nathaniel are in sixth grade. They go to a middle school named Northwest School of the Arts. They used to go to Winterfield Elementary School. Winterfield has a program with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The CSO program teaches kids how to play musical instruments. Justice learned to play the violin. Nathaniel learned to play the violin and the cello. They are the first students from the program to go to Northwest.For the past six years, the CSO has given after-school music classes at Winterfield. Most of the kids in the school come from poor homes. Its difficult for their parents to afford music lessons. The CSO wants the kids to learn about music, and it also wants them to stay out of trouble and get better grades. The program was started to teach kids about music. It wants to help kids in other ways, too. Kids are allowed to take smaller instruments home to practice. This teachers them to take responsibility for something valuable. The program also encourages cooperation(合作). Students must spend time with children they might know outside of the program. And also, the program teaches practice habits. When students get better after practice, they learn that practice is good.Students use the first year to explore and find a “forever instrument.” Justice tried out the clarinet and cello before picking a violin.Nathaniel liked the trumpet but decided on the cello and violin.“When I started, it actually looked easy, but I knew it would get tougher,” says Nathaniel. “Practicing is a pleasure. Im always trying to get a song perfect, so Im playing 15-20-25 minutes a day.”Thanks to music, Justice and Nathaniel got into a good middle school.

Sixteen students stand up, shout their greetings of good morning in Chinese, and start the class.This is a usual Chinese class at Walter Payton College Preparatory High School in downtown Chicago. The 16 students are divided (分成) into small groups, four in each group, to practice Chinese speaking and writing.The four different tones (声调) are one of the most difficult parts in Chinese learning. To make it easier, Xu uses gestures, and asks the students to match gestures with the words she pronounces.Walter Payton is one of the 41 public schools in Chicago that offer Chinese classes. About 60 certified full-time Chinese teachers like Xu are offering Chinese courses in four levels to about 11,000 elementary and middle school students in Chicago Public Schools (CPS).CPS offers 12 foreign languages for students to choose, said Jane Lu, CPS Chinese world language coordinator and director of the Confucius Institute in Chicago. In 2018, Chinese replaced French to become the second most chosen foreign language. Lu thinks it is because of the rapid development and rising of China on the worlds stage.Sixteen-year-old Steven Norinsky is a junior at Walter Payton. He has been learning Chinese since elementary school. He plans to learn it throughout high school. I choose Chinese because I think it is the most important language to learn, Norinsky explained.39 . What do the 16 students practice in small groups?40 . Are the four different tones one of the most difficult parts in Chinese learning?41 . How many public schools offer Chinese classes in Chicago?42 . When did Chinese become the second most chosen foreign language in Chicago?43 .
