It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
I really only meant it as a joke.  I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹噓) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download (下載) the newest 41 off the internet."Then he 42everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 43 .
44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反應(yīng)). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指責(zé)) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 55 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

Welcome to the Amazing kids Website! Here you can read about clever children all over the world.

Fourteen-year-old Bren used to love running until he had a serious car accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn't even expect to walk again. Now he's an athlete who has recently completed a marathon. "After my accident I wanted to give up," he says. "But now I'm happy to be alive and able to continue running."
Helga has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town.

A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don't you look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.
During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.
As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she
wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.
Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.

Doctors Without Borders (國界)
Chris is not a traditional explorer— he usually works in an office for a large organization. However, Chris' job can be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders. Since 1971, MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters (遭受災(zāi)難), such as wars and illnesses. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people.
At the moment,  over 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF projects. The organization received the Nobel Peace _ Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF's work is in Africa. When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency(緊急的) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.
But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience they have is a great help in their life. What's more, just like the explorers of the past, they need to keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people they meet One thing that they can say at the end of any task is that they have made a real difference to people's lives.
【小題1】What may MSF's work be like?

A．Tiring and boring.	B．Exciting and dangerous.

【小題3】Why would doctors like to join MSF?

A．Because they can get a good pay.

B．Because they can have a comfortable life.

C．Because they can help others and get experience.

D．Because they can travel abroad with their families.

【小題4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Chris is a doctor who has organized programs to help people.
B. MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize for helping poor countries.
C. Volunteer doctors make a real difference to their own lives in MSF.
