If you are given only 1 yuan, could you live in a city for one day? It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it.

On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June.

To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Queue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually (逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.

Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jincheng , 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.

Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt (酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,” he said. They will give all of the money they made to poor schools in Tibet.

  My mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didn’t have a bike with her, she walked next to me. I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier(行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “ Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”

I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back, ” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar(车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar.

My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”

However, my mom only said, “ What have you done to your face? Vanessa, look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “ I love you, sweetie” type.

Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand—she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “ You did it—deal with it and learn from it. One day, the results will be greater and I won’t be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”

8．We can learn from the text that _________.

A．Vanessa fell because she didn’t hold the handlebar

B．Vanessa and Mary rode the bike in turn

C．Vanessa was blown down by the heavy wind

D．Vanessa and Mary were both injured

9．In the author’s opinion, her mother _________.

A．was always gentle to her B．encouraged her all the time

C．was cold sometimes D．didn’t care about her at all

10．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Vanessa’s mother was strict with her.  B．Vanessa understood her mother’s love.

C．Vanessa’s mother would leave her.  D．Vanessa wasn’t eager for her mom’s hug any more.

(D)

Are you dreaming of taking a trip on your own? Here is some advice on how to make your once-in-a-lifetime journey and how to stay safe when you get there.

Before you begin to look at places, activities and plane tickets, you must set a budget. When you search through the websites about travelling, it can be so easy to add another week here or there, or choose an extra activity. Setting a budget can avoid（避免） creating a huge bill, which starts very small.

With so many countries on this planet, it is difficult to decide where to go. By narrowing down your search to voluntary (自愿的) work or a relaxing holiday, you can save a lot of time looking through websites.

After deciding where to go, you need to research the country. Find out when each season is. It would be disappointing if you were taking part in an outdoor-based activity and it rained most days. Look into medical information, as you may need certain medicine for certain countries. Above all, make sure you can afford to go to this country and take part in the activities you have dreamt about. Don’t raise your hopes too high before you know for certain it is within your budget.

By carrying a credit (信用) card with you at all times,  it is possible to stop yourself getting lost. Mobile phones are very important as well. However, do not depend completely on them, since electronic machines can break without warning. Therefore, always carry a list of emergency (紧急情况) phone numbers, names and addresses. Finally, learn a little of the language. Do not expect that the people there speak your own language. After all, you are in their country.

11．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Take a Relaxing Trip  B．Save up to Travel Alone

C．Create a Pleasant Trip D．Prepare for Travelling Alone

12．From the text, we can know that ________.

A．travelling in a foreign country costs a lot

B．deciding on where to go is an easy job

C．a volunteer can help you choose where to go

D．you need to know what the weather of the county you’ll travel is like

13．What does the word “budget” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．记录      B．生意      C．预算      D．决定

14．According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．You needn’t research the country you’ll travel before setting off.

B．Making a budget is important when making a travel plan.

C．It is funny to take medicines when travelling.

D．Bad weather can never influence your trip.

15．The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．reasons why mobile phones aren’t reliable

B．ways to stay safe when travelling alone

C．the importance of carrying a credit card

D．the advantages of learning a foreign language

书面表达 (满分20分)

As we all know, class is a place where students ought to work hard to realize their dreams. However, there are some students not using class properly, making things go from bad to worse. For example, some students play mobile phones or sleep in class, wasting quantities of precious time. What's worse, some students enjoy chatting with others. Not only does it affect their own study, but also it will do harm to others.

As far as I am concerned, the main reason is that they don't realize the importance of study. To solve this problem, they have to understand making full use of class is the best way to improve the efficiency of study. After all, time waits for no man.
