【題目】Recently, a 17yearold girl named Cassandra Hsiao becomes hot in the world. Living in California，the girl has received offer letters(錄取通知書) from all eight Ivy League colleges(常春藤名校), including Harvard, Princeton and Yale.

Cassandra's father came from Taiwan while her mother was from Malaysia(馬來西亞). She was born in Malaysia, and her family moved to the United States when she was five. The family suffered a lot in the new country. Luckily, Cassandra works hard all the time. Cassandra wrote their stories on their hard struggles(奮斗) in the college essay, which was really touching the world.

“Your personal identity(個(gè)人身份) and sense of belonging(歸屬感) are two of the most important problems that people from other countries must face. I wanted to share a piece of our home life, my relationship with my mother and both of our stories，” she told BBC News.

“I miss Malaysia. Growing up, I loved flying kites, going to markets and setting off firecrackers(煙火). I spent my childhood talking in a mixture of Chinese, Malaysia and English，” she said lovingly.

It's difficult to deal with language difficulties. Once her mother was laughed at by her teacher and classmates for using wrong English in an English paper. But a kind girl stood up and argued with the classmates. She fought them back and help my mother correct her language mistakes.

“Later my mother asked me to teach her proper English starting with pronunciation. It has not been easy. I believe this article really shows values I hold close to my heart: Standing up for those without a voice, even when you think you haven't quite found your own yet，” said Cassandra.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

Starting a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start.

When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through different kinds of activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult.

Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.

Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation.

Please don’t forget the most important thing— the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.

After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.

【題目】A poor boy once went to a ragged(破舊的) school, where his face was well washed. When he returned home, the neighbors looked at him in surprise.

They said, “That looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it can't be, for he is so clean.”

After a while, his mother looked at him, and seeing that his face was so clean, she thought that her own face was dirty, and she washed it at once.

The father soon came home from his work, and, seeing his wife and his son so clean, he thought that his face was dirty, and so he followed their example.

Father, mother and son being clean, the mother began to think that the room looked dirty; so she went down on her knees to scrub the floor clean.

A woman lived next door. Seeing so great a change in her neighbors, she thought that her face and her room were very dirty; so she, too, quickly set about cleaning them.

This story shows how two houses and their families were made tidy and comfortable, simply by the example of the clean face of one ragged school boy.
