        We were on a visit to Monkey Island. Jim thought we should try water skiing(滑水). We can get a boat and skis at Monkey Island.
        "Don't go water skiing near Monkey Island today," said the woman standing near the boats. "There
    might be sharks(鲨鱼) in the water."
        "I don't think so." said Jim who thought he knew everything.
        "I wouldn't go water skiing in the sea near Monkey Island today," said the man with the woman. "They
    saw sharks in the water yesterday."
        "The sharks won't hurt me," said Jim with a big smile on his face.
        Another man getting out of a boat said, "I'm sure we just saw a shark in the water a few minutes ago."
        "Don't worry about me," said Jim. "I don't worry about sharks."
        Jim and his two friends, Bill and Bruce pushed the boat into the water. Jim was driving the boat. He
    drove very fast and sprayed water on everyone standing near the boat.
        Jim drove the boat to the middle of the sea near Monkey Island. Everyone could see him and the boat. He wanted to show everyone how well he could water ski.
        "You drive the boat, Bill," Jim said. "Bruce, you watch me and the rope while I water ski."
        "What about the sharks?" asked Bill.
        "Forget about the sharks," said Jim. "I'm not afraid of sharks."
        Jim got into the water. He was putting his feet in the water skis. Then Jim felt something large and hard
    touch his leg as it swam past him. Suddenly, a brown fin(鳍) moved through the water towards Jim.
        Later, when Bill and Bruce stopped laughing, they said, "We never saw anyone move so fast! You were running on top of the water to get back in the boat! You even left the water skis in the water.
        "There it is again! Shark! Shark!" cried Jim.
        Everyone laughed----even the people standing on shore.
        The dolphin(海豚) came to surface again, took a deep breath, smiled at Jim and went back down into
    the deep water.

        YOU may feel curious about students in other countries: Do they also have so much homework? What do they do in their spare time?
       On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.
    Who studies hardest?
        
    Chinese students spend the most time studying. Nearly half of Chinese students spend more than two

    Who sleeps most often in class?
        
    Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they sometimes doze off in

    South Korean students don't like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in
    class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%).
    Who is the most distracted (分心的)?
        
    American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with
    friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated (无关的) books in class.
    What do they do after school?

       Have you ever dreamed about a trip to space? Seeds (种子)of some vegetables and crops are a lot
    luckier than you, as they have travelled to space and back.
        China is among the three countries in the world that carry out agricultural (农业的)research in space.
    The others are Russia and the U.S. Since 1987, China has sent about 1000 kinds of seeds into space.
    These include green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and rice. Even on China's first manned spacecraft Shenzhou V there were some seeds from Taiwan.
        "Conditions(条件) in outer space such as radiation(辐射)and low gravity can cause big changes in the
    seeds," said Chinese researcher Jin Xing.
        But not all seeds are better after going to space. After returning to the earth, the best seeds are chosen. These seeds produce much more and also grow faster than normal seeds. As the safety of genetically
    modified(转基因)food is still being talked about, some people are not sure about the safety of these
    "space vegetables" because some of their genes(基因)are changed during the trip to space.
       But Jin holds the more hopeful view. He said, "Unlike genetically modified crops, no new genes are
    introduced to the space vegetables, so they are surely safe."
        Space vegetables are better than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty
    days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the peppers.
    Space peppers have 20 per cent more vitamin C than normal peppers.
        Researchers are considering holding a tomato festival. By the time people will be able to enjoy about 30 different kinds of space tomatoes on their dining tables.
    So far, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has set up three space vegetable base fields, one of which is in
    Shenzhen while the others are in Beijing and Jiangsu Province.
    1. What will happen when seeds of some vegetables are sent to space and carried back?
    A. Some of their genes are changed.      
    B. They are all better than before going to space
    C. No changes are caused in the seeds.    
    D. They all produce much more and grow faster.
    2. Why does Jin Xing have no doubt about the safety of the space vegetables?
    A. Because the seeds sent to space stay the same.
    B. Because the seeds sent to space are the best.
    C. Because no new genes are brought into them.
    D. Because space vegetables are luckier.
    3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. Genetically modified food is completely safe. 
    B. The space vegetables don't belong to genetically modified food in some ways. 
    C. About 1000 kinds of seeds were sent into space on Shenzhou V.  
    D. Seeds back from space must be planted in special rooms controlled by computers.
    4. What is the underlined word "cucumber" in the second paragraph?
    A. A product from Russia.            
    B. A kind of gene. . 
    C. A product from Taiwan.          
    D. A kind of agricultural product.

        Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we
    say to ourselves, "Never give up." These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion ,
    the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should
    never give up.
         One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail
    in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if
    we always give up when we fail , we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
        Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make
    the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
    Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this
    confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin
    to doubt our abilities.
       In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the
    end or not , we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident.
    Furthermore, if we give up , we have no chance of attaining our goals any more , but if we keep making
    great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one
                                                               Topic: Never Give Up 

    Possible meanings and the author's opinions

     
      The words " Never give up" can   1   others or oneself and express one's
    determination.
     A person who wants to   2   should have the quality . So we should never give up.

    The reason

     
      If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve   3   , so when we fail in our first   attempt at something new, we should not disappiont ourselves but try again.
      Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes we've made before and learn the   4   so as not to make the same mistakes.
     To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us   5  ourselves,
    we must not give up but challenge ourselves.



    Conclusions

     If you give up, you will have no chance of reaching your goals. Never give up and
    you will attain your goals sooner or later.
