【題目】
Five middle school students, all wearing "I choose kindness" T-shirts, sit around a table discussing how to turn that message into action.
It was a class called "Ready, Set, Give!" in West Suburban Summer School, Minnesota, US.
For five days, from 8:30 am to 4 pm, Hannah, 13, Annette, 12, Allison, 12, Adelaide, 13 and Ben, 13, designed activities that could turn their kindness into action.
They learned a lot about service projects. For example, after hearing about "Beyond the Yellow Ribbon", a program that provides care to soldiers (士兵), the students made cards for soldiers themselves. They filled care packages (愛心包裹) with nuts, beef jerky, toothbrushes, even fresheners.
The best part, though, was choosing their own service projects. Adelaide is planning to set up a lemonade stand to help the homeless. Annette is interested in protecting animals.
She plans to create posters to help people understand the dangers of ocean litter, pesticides and pollution. Hannah and Allison are paying attention to protecting the rights and health of young people. Ben wants to help people do a better job of recycling plastic ( 塑料回收 ).
The students also visited Prism, a social service agency (服務機構) in Minnesota. They worked for five hours, sorting donations, putting food on shelves and doing some cleaning.
Sarah Bailey, the activities' organizer, is confident that the students' projects will be successful.
"These guys are ready to take action," Bailey said. "It's more than I hoped for."

France is well known for its fine art, tasty food and romantic scenery(風景). About 75 million visitors come here every year.
France is the largest country in Western Europe. It has a population of over 66 million. The country is home to many famous places of interest, like the River Seine as well as the Eiffel Tower.
Many visitors also come for the country’s art. Sculptor(雕刻家)Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here. If you visit France today, it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway.
No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre, one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Inside, there are 35,000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue(雕塑)David by Michelangelo. It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces.
Besides, French food is world famous. Bread is very important in France. The best known French bread is called a baguette(法棍面包). They are long, delicious and taste salty. Snails (蝸牛)are also a must-have here. French people eat 40,000 tons of snails every year!
But France is not always good. Paris, the city of light, may also show its dark side to visitors. Chinese visitors feel sorry about the crowded subway in Paris.

【題目】
Growing up in the Chinese community in Vancouver, Canada, I had full time to experience both Canadian and Chinese culture during my childhood.
In my community, many traditions and cultural traits brought by Chinese immigrants(移民)remain alive. For example, interactions (互動) between Chinese neighbors: People greet each other warmly and sometimes stop for a chat. Families also stay mostly the same after crossing the ocean. Elderly members still live with their children instead of in care homes.
Another similarity is that many of us celebrate traditional Chinese holidays, such as Spring festival. Although it's in a different country, the holidays are still commemorated with the same foods, entertainment ( 娛樂活動 ) and values as they are in China. My family makes sure to watch the Spring Festival Gala each year, for example.
While many ways of Chinese culture truly remain in Vancouver, there are also certain ways that the Chinese and Canadian cultures have mixed to create something new and special. Many children of Chinese immigrants, like myself, study in English at school and speak Chinese at home, leading to communication without any trouble in both languages. Chinese communities also celebrate Canadian holidays, like Halloween, which are not often celebrated in China.
Canadian culture has even taken on some Chinese foods and language. Chinese dishes are very popular throughout Canada, many people are very interested in trying them. More and more non-Chinese Canadians are learning the language in order to enjoy Chinese holiday celebrations and communicate with their Chinese of the same age.
As someone who grew up Chinese Canadian, I'm very proud of my special background and how it has made me the person I am today.
【1】According to the passage, what are Chinese immigrants in the writer's community like?
A.They seem too busy to stop for a chat.
B.Elderly people prefer to stay in care homes.
C.They also remain many Chinese traditions and values.
D.Their lifestyles remain unchanged after moving to Canada.
【2】What does the underlined word commemorated probably mean?
A.made.B.started.C.described.D.celebrated.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Canadians are open to Chinese culture.
B.Many Canadians can't get well with Chinese immigrants.
C.Canadians usually do better than Chinese people at school.
D.Canadians are unhappy with the influence of Chinese culture.

On a rainy weekend in March, Hangzhou in Zhejiang welcomed a special group of guests. From March 23 to 24, 31 young people from 30 countries and regions gathered in the city, sharing their experiences and exchanging ideas at the Belt and Road Youth English Speaking Competition.
