　　"As I stood in front of the grave(墓) of President Richard Nixon, I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United States and China closer together. Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow. "

　　The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing understanding and friendship between young students of the two countries throught visits and discussions. Seventy-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together.

　　Targ Targeting teens

　　Using the web makes teens a target. Posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a thread to your life.

　　As Mary learned, not everyone on the Internet is who he or she says they are. Adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust. They use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.

　　“That’s not the most common scenario(一系列可能發生事件),” says David Finkelhor , a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire. “Only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18 who use the Internet report being asked to meet offline. But the danger is real.”

　　Safety measures

　　Mary’s Myspace profile is set to “private”, which means that only the people she adds under the “friend” category can access her page. She also doesn’t have any pictures of herself on her site. The only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.

　　Stay safe and have fun online

　　Experts say almost 90 percent of U.S. teens online. But not everyone knows how to surf the web in a smart way. With these tips, you can have fun, stay safe, and avoid embarrassment!

　　●Pick a safe password. Make sure your password is something that other people won’t be able to guess.

　　●Pick a safe username. Make sure yours doesn’t say too much about you, “Happy girl 13” is better than “Alice Waters 13”. Don’t include your name, age, or where you are from. Never tell a stranger your name, school, address, age, birthday, phone number, or friends’ name.

　　59.The underlined word “invite” in the first paragraph has the same meaning as______________.

　　A．demand politely

　　B．require C．cause

　　D．wish

　　60. In Mary’s opinion, ______________.

　　A. one shouldn’t trust everyone online

　　B. one shouldn’t trust anyone online

　　C. there are many liars online

　　D. all people online pretend to be others

　　61 .One of the safety measures mentioned in the passage is that ______________.

　　A. one should not chat with strangers

　　B. one should not post his or her photos online

　　C .one should tell his parents about strange information

　　D. one should keep his information as a secret.

　　62. Why are numbers in letters used when we pick a safe password?

　　A. Numbers are easy to write

　　B. Using numbers are cool online

　　C. The safe password is more unlikely to be guessed

　　D. Numbers are popular online

　　D

　　Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.

　　In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”

　　“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”

　　Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.

　　36. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?

　　A. She had seven brothers.

　　B. She felt herself a nobody.

　　C. She was too shy to go to school.

　　D. She did not have any good teachers.

　　37. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.

　　A. work for a school magazine

　　B. run away from her family

　　C. make a lot of friends

　　D. develop her writing style

　　38. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?

　　A. Her early years in college.

　　B. Her training in the Workshop.

　　C. Her feeling of being different.

　　D. Her childhood experience.

　　39. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?

　　A. It is quite popular among students.

　　B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.

　　C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.

　　D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.
