Miya volunteered abroad in Costa Rica with World Endeavors assisting at an orphanage(孤兒院)and teaching English at a school．

As a freshman at Yale University, Miya had plans to go to medical school．Knowing that her next two summers would be occupied doing research, Miya decided to go abroad the summer after her freshman year．“I wanted to improve my command of the Spanish language and learn about the culture and history of another country,” she explained．In the summer of 2014, Miya volunteered for six weeks in the World Endeavors program in Atenas, Costa Rica, working in an orphanage and teaching English to children in grades one through six．

“A long time before I left, I had positive expectations for the trip,” said Miya．But as the date grew closer she found herself getting more and more nervous．“I thought, what if my host family doesn’t like me? What if I get sick?”

Her fears, as fears often are, turned out to be unfounded．“The people were so supportive and loving,” said Miya．“I felt like I was part of the family．”

Miya’s host family had a large network of cousins who all lived within shouting distance． The family would cook together, and at night would go dancing, talk or eat ice cream．She noted that the World Endeavors staff on location—Diego and Mercedes, and Mercedes’ husband and daughter –were particularly helpful, taking her right to her neighborhood from the airport, and checking up periodically to make sure everything was going well．

While her nights were spent dancing, cooking, and talking with her host family, Miya’s days were occupied with the children of her host city．“I would teach in the morning, and work in the orphanage in the afternoon,” said Miya, whose placements were within walking distance from her host family．While the children were a lot of work, Miya felt a strong connection to the kids in the orphanage．

Miya noted that Costa Rica is one of the more developed countries in Central America． A nearby Internet café, for example, helped her to stay in touch with her family while she was away．And now, back in the United States, the Internet helps her keep in touch with her host family．Their correspondence continues in Spanish．And her host parents, Rosario and Jorge, recently sent Miya a Christmas card through the mail．

Back at school, Miya continues to pursue her instinct to improve education through volunteering． She participates in a mentoring group and works on a community health education program for high school students．Her time in Costa Rica, she says, “fits right into my interests in global health．”

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年廣東佛山第一中學(xué)高二10月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (圖章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.

What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”. We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff we got was really just to replace what we’d lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.

Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.

Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn’t my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one,” she said, smiling.

Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.

The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.

1.The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “_________”.

A. fashionable B. available

C. practical D. renewable

2.When she got the ring back, the writer was about _________.

A. 13 years old B. 15 years old

C. 26 years old D. 28 years old

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer’s family moved several times.

B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.

C. The writer’s ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.

D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. My New Ring B. Lost and Found

C. Lost and Replaced D. An Expensive Ring

Pronunciation Tips

These English pronunciation tips will help you get the most out of your Pronunciation Power program.

★ 1.

For example, “threw” and “through”, although spelled differently, are pronounced the same. Also, identical（相同的） letters or letter clusters（字母組合） in words do not always produce the same sound. For example, the “ough” in “though” and “through” represents a different sound in each word. 2.

★ Imagine a sound in your mind before you say it.

Try to visualize（想象)）the positioning of your mouth and face. 3.

★ Listen to and try to imitate the Pronunciation Power instructor.

In addition to listening for specific sounds, pay attention to pauses, the intonation（語(yǔ)調(diào)） of the instructor's voice and patterns of emphasis. 4.

★ The English language has many different dialects, and words can be pronounced differently.

It is important, however, that you pronounce words clearly to ensure effective communication.

★ Finally, the Pronunciation Power program is a tool to help you.

But you must practice what you are learning! Remember that you are teaching your mouth a new way to move. You are building muscles that you do not use in your own language. 5. Use the program to exercise your mouth a little bit each day.

A. Read these words over and over again and try to learn them by heart.

B. This can be just as important as the pronunciation of sounds.

C. Learn to practice what you hear, not what you see.

D. So you should force yourself to do what you really don’t like to do.

E. Do not confuse pronunciation of words with their spelling!

F. It is like going to the gym and exercising your body.

G. Think about how you are going to make the sound.

A． How inner beliefs can help

B． Why are habits so important

C． How to develop positive habits

D． Improve your life

E．You can do it

F．Action plan

The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day．It is as simple as that．Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not．If you have strong and healthy positive habits，it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run．

1._________________________________

Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day，a single positive action will not change your life，but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life．For example，if you go to the gym one time，you won’t see a big difference in your life．However，if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period，you will see a big difference in your body．The same principle applies to finance，health，relationships，work，career，and school．Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run．

2._________________________________

There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits．You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit．If you want to develop the habit of running，run almost every day．If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy，eat healthy every day．If you want to develop the habit of reading，read every day．Habits are created by repetition．The more you do an action，the easier it becomes in the long run．

3.__________________________________

If you want to be successful in changing your habits，you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits．For example，your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed． I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed． ”If you keep this belief，you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long．Instead，you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed． Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body．Yoga makes me happy．” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits．The same is true when you try to form positive habits．If you want to start eating healthy food，here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health．It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good． ”

4.___________________________________

It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits．Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of．For each positive habit，write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit．For each negative habit，write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks．Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise，healthy food，reading，saving，studying，healthy relationships，hard work，etc． Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling，drug and alcohol abuse，overeating，shyness，etc．

5._____________________________________

Everybody can change．All it takes is courage and commitment．Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits．Take action right now！Don’t be afraid． Yes，you will probably make mistakes along the way．But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life．If you refuse to quit，success will be yours．
