I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.However(然而), the moment that really reached my heart occurred in a village(村庄) deep in the mountains. I was interviewing(采访) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(领导层) of the village.Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched.

Thousands of people try skydiving(跳伞)each year. Some only jump once, while others go on to experience lifelong adventures, flying and turning over through the air. Skydiving is a method of leaving an airplane and returning to the earth with the help of gravity, then slowing down by using a parachute (降落伞). It may include more or less free-fall, a time during which the parachute has not been used and the body gradually accelerates (加速) to the highest speed. There are three choices for the beginners. However, before you try skydiving, a ground course on safety is required. The first method is accelerated free-fall. You jump out of the plane while being held by two coaches, one on either side. They hold onto you until you open your parachute. The second method is called static line. After jumping out, you will experience free-fall for a second or two. Then the weight of your body will pull the line tight, opening the parachute. Tandem (串联) is the most popular because it is the easiest. You and the coach are tied together, the coach behind, with you in front. You jump out of the plane together, and the coach takes care of opening the parachute. For each of these three methods, the coaches give instructions in the air. They give hand signals (信号). If you are eager to try something challenging and would love to feel the freedom of flying, skydiving might be an adventure for you. Who knows? With risk and excitement mixed together, skydiving might just change your life. 71. How many people try skydiving each year? _72. How many choices are there for the beginners? _73. How long will you experience free-fall after jumping out by using static line?_74. Why is tandem the most popular? _75. How do the coaches give instructions in the air? _六、词汇运用（共15题，每题1分，计15分）(A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写单词，使句子完整76. If _(必要), you can ask Mr. Wang to go with you.77. Its rude to push in before others in _(公开地).78.

Luo Yong, who has worked hard for 9 years as a worker in Nanchang, Jiangxis capital city, finally managed to find a seat for his son at a well-known primary school in the city. In September, the boy was sent into a crowded first-grade classroom at the primary school which belongs to Nanchang University. Whatever the cost, I want my son to live a better life than mine better schooling and better work in the city, says 32-year-old Luo. I didnt get a good education when I was a child, and thats why I can only find low-paid jobs here, he adds. The move by a growing number of migrant workers to take their children to cities has led to losses of students for schools in the countryside. Located 35 kilometers away from Nanchang, the Dazhuang Village Primary School in Luos hometown has seen the number of its students drop by more than half in the past four years, according to Principal Xiong Guilian. With 22 students now, the school has been changed into a “teaching spot(教学点)” that only offers the first three grades. Most rooms in the two-floor schoolhouse are left unused. “Every time a new term starts, I find a few children missing because they have been taken to the town or city by their parents,” Xiong says, describing her feeling as “bittersweet”.
