Brittnie Pemberton listened attentively as Jim Herrick took her and her mother, Tanya, on a brief tour of San Diego State University on Thursday. Her dream is much closer to reality after she received a promise from the university. The university promised that she would get a full four-year scholarship to the school as long as she met the entrance requirements.

Brittnie, 10, laughed. Her mom cried.

They live at the Salvation Army Door of Hope, a living center for homeless women and their children. Photojournalist Linda Solomon met them in August when she came to the facility and taught boys and girls, ages three-and-a-half to 13, how to take pictures. She gave them all disposable cameras and told them to capture images that reflected their dreams. The children's images - a big house, a church, a playground, a backyard and more - are kept. This is a project called“Pictures of Hope" organized by the Salvation Army

"I wish to go to college, so I took a picture of the sign out in front of San Diego State University," Brittnie said last month. The Fletcher Elementary School fifth-grader was pointing to the Christmas card bearing her photograph.

Adrienne Finley, development director at the Salvation Army, hosted a reception for Solomon, who told Finley about the president of a small university who gave a child the scholarship she dreamed of last year.

Finley called his old friend, Herrick, who serves as the SDSU President. "We have a wonderful opportunity here to make a difference in a little girl's life," Finley said. Soon her mom and Brittnie were face to face with SDSU President Jim Herrick.

"You must be Brittnie," he said, reaching out to shake her hand. She quickly pulled her hands out of the pockets of the new SDSU sweatshirt she had been given that morning.

They sat down at a table in his office and talked about college, about science, about her love of math and his hope that she and other girls wouldn't lose interest in those subjects, as happens to many girls as they grow older.

Then they talked about how much discipline she would need over the next eight years to make her dream come true. Both signed the paper outlining their agreement to the terms of the scholarship. Back outside on the sunny campus, Brittnie admitted she's tempted sometimes not to do her homework. "But not anymore," she said.

According to the first paragraph, we can know that________.

A. it is certain that Brittnie will be admitted into SDSU

B. Brittnie will not need to pay for her university education if she can study in SDSU.

C. Jim Herrick promised Brittnie’s mother to offer her a job in SDSU.

D. Brittnie made a promise that she would never give up her dream. .

The Salvation Army Door of Hope is intended to ______.

A. recruit young men and young women to help others

B. provide shelters for homeless moms and their children

C. carry out some projects to help those who are in trouble

D. help homeless people no matter who they are

According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.

A. Linda Solomon taught children photography to inspire them.

B. Children told people about their dreams through their pictures.

C. Brittnie took a picture standing at the gate of SDSC.

D. Brittnie’s picture was so good that it was printed on a Christmas card.

From what Ferrick said to Brittnie, we can infer that_______.

A. Ferrick has a strong belief that Brittnie will be a scientist in the future.

B. Brittnie, as well as some other girls, is interested in both science and math.

C. some girls would not be so good in science and math as boys as they grow older.

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. __. There are over eighty of them scattered(分散,撒布) along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__ __. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever. ___. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. __. Nevertheless(然而), by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. ____. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere.

pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.

Advertisements can be placed nearly everywhere to catch our attention, they have even become popular on the Internet. That means that customers can see them at any time and from any place. In cities, you can see them on the sides of buses, taxis and trains. There are advertisements high up on the sides of buildings. The names of famous brands, like Nike, Pepsi, Guess and Apple, appear on shoes, clothing and bags. So when people use these branded products in their daily life, they are helping the products to sell more of them.

Every company gets you to recognize its name. The company name is always printed in the same way, using the same letters and the same colors. So, when customers see the same “l(fā)ook” of the company name day-in and day-out, they begin to recognize it without having to read it.

We cannot predict the future of advertising, but one thing is certain- advertisements are here to stay and will always change the way of our life.
