Many years ago, when I was a student, the radio studio manager at WXBN interviewed me and it changed my life.
“How old are you?”he looked down at _______.
“Fifteen,” I said.
“And you want a job in radio?” Shouldn’t you be _______?”he asked.
How could I explain? I’ve always _______ the radio. When I was four or five years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. _______ the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations.
As I grew older, my _______ in radio grew. One day I learned about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favoutite music from my father’s computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.
Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to _______. We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report.
“OK, _______ with me,” the WXBN manager said, I followed him into the studio. Then I sat down in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall.
“OK, let’s do a second check. Just tell me _______ you had for breakfast.”
All radio presenters begin work with the same _______.
“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”
“OK, that’s great,” the man behind the glass said.
And this was how my first real job in radio began.

With only fish and birds for company, Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.
But crossing the Pacific is only part of his incredible journey. Eric has decided to go all the way around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.
As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropical rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where it's safe and dry.
Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s all part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started. That's why I gave myself two years to finish.”
Protein bars(蛋白棒) give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A solar-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but only when the sun shines. When that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in buckets.
He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people - especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.
小題1:Why is Eric making this trip?
A.To encourage children to reach for their goal.
B.To learn more about the world around us.
C.To have many great adventures in strange lands.
D.To honour the memory of a fellow climber.
小題2:What does Eric plan to do on each of the six continents he will visit?
A.Visit schools to share his story.
B.Study the culture of the local people.
C.Climb the tallest mountain.
D.Cycle from one end to the other.
小題3:When does Eric expect to finish his journey?
A.July 2009.B.June 2010.
C.January 2011.D.July 2011.
小題4:Which of the following words best describes Eric’s character?
A.Determined.B.Intelligent.
C.Fearless.D.Lonely.

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like dark cloud and seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding quickly without knowing how to escape the group. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping quickly, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his fear increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive(敏感的) to bee stings (蜇). Last time a sting had put him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a dangerous situation, don’t panic. Stay calm, use your brain and think your ways out of it. ”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly from the chimney(煙囪) of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining around. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He guessed that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a small pond used by Mr. Nelson to water his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he jumped, disappearing below the surface and away from the bees. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees have gone. Pulling himself out of the water, he walked up the hill and rang the doorbell. Mr. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover(恢復(fù)),” laughed his mother. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.
小題1:Andy was attacked by a huge group of bees on his way to ________.

小題2:Andy failed to notice the bees because ________.

小題5:Andy succeeded in getting rid of the bees by ________.
A.waving some smoke towards them

In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings(警報(bào))about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tom, principal(校長(zhǎng))of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.
Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well.             (我們對(duì)它的工作感到很高興),”William Tom said. “The parents were as well.”
The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.
Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes(龍卷風(fēng))and some hurricanes(颶風(fēng))take place in the U.S., so the warning radios are very useful.
