My stay in the rainforest

Last year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, " I would love to do something like that, " and I say, "If you want to, just do it. " They always reply, "I can't." But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.

After three day's training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The accommodation (住宿) was very basic and we had to build our own 'bedroom' . It had a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.

It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging (挑戰(zhàn)的). There were things that we didn't think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best - it made me feel alive. I didn't miss my home comforts as much as I'd thought I might. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good talk. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn't need any more.

Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people like me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I wear.

【答案】

2At three days' training

3It had a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.

4No, it wasn't.

5What clothes she wore and who bar friends were.

【解析】

本文主要陳述的是作者雨帶叢林的一段經(jīng)歷。經(jīng)過三天的訓練后,作者適應了那里的簡單生活。在那之前對于作者覺得穿什么以及我的朋友是誰很重要。而在這兒,人們喜歡我是因為我是誰,我所信仰的和所想的,而不是因為我所穿的。

1題意:Claire從這份在Borneo的工作中能得到錢嗎?由文中原句Last year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest可知,作者去那兒工作是沒有工資的。故答案為No, she didn't。

2題意:Claire何時開始在這個環(huán)境項目中工作?根據(jù)原句After three day's training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people可知,是三天訓練后開始。故答案為At three days' training

3題意:在雨帶叢林中,Claire的臥室有什么?根據(jù)The accommodation (住宿) was very basic and we had to build our own 'bedroom' .It had a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out。其中itbedroom可知。故答案為It had a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out

4題意:在雨帶叢林中的生活是危險的,是嗎?根據(jù)句子It was never dangerous there可知,在那兒不危險。且問句為反義疑問句。故答案為No, it wasn't.

5題意:在ClaireBorneo之前,什么對于她來說是重要的?由文中描述Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were可知,在那之前對于作者覺得穿什么以及我的朋友是誰很重要。故答案為What clothes she wore and who bar friends were.

6題意:你愿意像Claire一樣生活在雨帶叢林中嗎?為什么/為什么不?答案應個人觀點而定。

【題目】Have you ever heard of tandem? The word itself means a bicycle built with saddles for two riders sitting one behind the other. However, when we learn a foreign language, we can find a native speaker

who wishes to learn our languages. So we both get a chance to practice. This is the tandem exchange.

For example, I’m a native English speaker but I want to learn Spanish. So I go to a tandem meeting. There I can find a native Spanish speaker who wants to improve his or her English. Then we become “tandem” partners. I speak English with my Spanish tandem partner for about an hour and help him or her with some English problems. After that, we speak Spanish for an hour, too. The idea of this language exchange is great because we can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class. This is the main reason why we can choose the tandem exchange as a way to learn a new language.

In the tandem exchange, we can also read passages with our partner. This way we can not only practice our pronunciation but also understand the meaning of difficult words in other languages. We can then have conversations about the passages in order to practice our speaking and listening.

So I advise you to participate in the tandem exchange. If there’s no foreigner around you, online tandem exchange is also a good choice. Join in the tandem exchange and enjoy the opportunity of learning new languages and understanding the cultures of other countries!

【1】Which of the following is a tandem bicycle?

A. B. C. D.

【2】What is the main reason for choosing the tandem exchange?

A. We can make more friends.

B. We can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class.
