阅读理解

A boy named Yes lived in a small kingdom. He had a brother named No. No was different from Yes, and he wasn't good at anything.

One day, Yes and No's father, Okay, asked his two sons to take it in turns to look after his animals. Yes did his job very well, but No felt bored with it. He just lay down and forgot about the animals. When the animals ran on the road, the King's carriage was passing by. He fell off the carriage and hurt himself.

The King was very angry. He ordered Yes and No to work for him as punishment. Soon he found that Yes was helpful. However, every time he asked No to do something, he always messed it up.

One day, the King decided to have a big party. The first cook said, "I bring my apple pie for the party." The King thought that apple pie would be delicious, so he asked Yes to get it. The next cook said, "I offer the King chicken soup." The King didn't like it. "No!" he shouted. Then No dropped the soup before the King could even smell it.

Nadia Clarke, Seventeen-year-old,talks about her African experience.

Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was interested in studying medicine at university. I thought it was the perfect chance to get some experience and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.

It was a month that changed my life. I saw a world and it is very different to mine in so many ways. I was surprised at how poor so many of the families were there and how difficult their lives could be. But I was also surprised at how actively people face their everyday lives. The way they came together and helped each other touched me a lot, and I think a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten it. I think many of us don't get to know how lucky we are.

My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time cleaning floors and taking temperatures, and I also got to spend some time giving medicine. And I got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about their work. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me more certain to do medicine!

When I finish, I know clearly what I'm going to do: I want to work for an international group like the Red Cross and spend my life helping people all over the world. I can't wait to get started.

 阅读下面短文,请从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Paul Roberts, a 15-year-old boy, lives in New York. Like thousands of other American students, he usually goes away to a summer camp during the school holidays.

These camps are just for teenagers, without their parents, and Paul always has a great time. But this summer he's doing something different-he's going on an adventure* holiday in Hawaii.

It's a camping holiday for three weeks in Hawaii, for kids from 14 to 

18. He's leaving on July 23rd and coming back on August 12th.

First, they're putting on backpacks and hiking through the forest in Hawaii. The place is very beautiful, with huge waterfalls and fascinating beaches. After this five-day walk, they're staying for two days in a valley*. The main activity here will be surfing. Paul doesn't know how to surf, but instructors will teach him how to do it, and he's really looking forward to this.

Then the organizers are providing mountain bikes and they're going for long rides-about 30 miles a day, around one of Hawaii's mountains. And on one day they're meeting a local Hawaiian family and helping them to plant fruit trees on their farm. After that, they're sailing for three days by the coast, and they'll have a chance to swim with dolphins and sea turtles!

This sounds amazing. Finally, they're going out for three days in sea kayaks*-they're visiting sea caves and swimming too.

Every night for the three weeks, they're camping in tents*, usually on the beach. This isn't a holiday for couch potatoes! They say the kids have to be fit, and of course they have to know how to swim and ride a bike. The kids can't use the computer or pad during the three weeks, but it's going to be a really special experience.
