Hello, children and parents. Thank you all for coaling to this meeting. I’d like to start by confirming that we will receive some money from the government for our school trip to Indonesia. We will receive approximately $ 1,300 per child, which will reduce the overall cost to you.

Now that we are sure to get the money, it is time to do some serious planning. We are sure that the trip will be very exciting for the children, especially if they have not traveled overseas before. There are many benefits to having some exposure to different places and cultures. Your children will be able to learn a lot about other people and cultures on this trip.

Leanne is with us tonight. Leanne, where are you? Put up your hand, Leanne, so that the people can see who you are. Thank you. Leanne went on the trip last year and will be happy to tell you of her experiences and answer any questions you might have. We will hear from her a bit later in the meeting.

We only have five months to organize the trip. From past experience I can tell you that this time will go very quickly! So we need to start organizing the trip.

This is the agenda for tonight' s meeting:

* Passport: when and how to apply for one

* Schedule: what places we will visit

* Health matters: what precautions you need to take, plus any special needs that your child may have

* Studying: description of the school and type of lessons your child will attend

* Money: paying for the trip, plus how much money your child should take

* Hotel: where we will be staying

* Clothing and personal items: what your children should take with them

Are there any other items that you would like to place on the agenda?

I first visited hutong as part of a tourist group several years ago. We rode on a trishaw（腳踏三輪車） with a guide explaining the history, architecture and lifestyle of the local inhabitants.

Having visited the "must-sees" of Beijing, like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Drum Tower and the Summer Palace, going into the hutong home of some famous ancient families gave the “Beijing experience” a human element.

My curiosity has sharpened over the years from reading about them at every opportunity. During the preparation for the Olympics I was eager to learn that some siheyuan courtyards in hutong were turned into accommodations（食宿） for visitors. I wished to stay in one someday.

Preparing for a recent trip to the capital, I eagerly sought one out. On my limited teacher’s salary, I settled on an affordable option, though I looked longingly at the more upscale courtyard accommodations.

As usual, I ended up having something closer to a true experience. A real family still lives in the courtyard, which is closer to the original. The rooms all opened into the central courtyard. Flowers were blooming, beans and peas were climbing up the bamboo fence, and the cat was napping in the sun. Every day after exploring the city, I'd hurry back to the hutong, take a quick shower and join the cat – snoozing（小睡） in a bamboo-made chair with a book ready nearby.

As the other guests came back we’d greet one another. There was a mother and young daughter from France, a guy from Canada, a mother and teenage daughter from the Netherlands, a teacher from England and several guests from various parts of China.

Coming and going through the narrow alleys（小巷） of the hutong, the residents would smile and give cheery “ni hao” （hello）. Laughing children were playing under the watchful eyes of the neighbors. I felt right at home in this friendly neighborhood.

The main idea of the passage is about ______________.

A. hutong days realize my desires to live local life

B. Trishaw is the only way to visit the hutong

C. living in the hutong with other visitors

D. exploring the deeper of Beijing

When did the author have the idea to visit Beijing hutong?

A. As early as he was a little child

B. when he was reading the text books at school

C. during the preparation for the Olympics

D. the author doesn’t mention it specifically  

The underlined word “upscale” in the fourth paragraph means _________.

A. inexpensive    B. high-class    C. appropriate    D. secondary

What is the impression of the author about the people in hutong?

A. They came from all over the world.

B. They all wanted to enjoy the old life of Beijing.

C. They are living together in harmony.

D. They are living in a heavenly peace life.

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers(障礙) to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.
Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking(模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
【小題1】The author thinks music________.

A．can make children calm down
B．Can connect heart to heart
C．Is difficult for pre-school students
D．Is a good means to find a job
【小題2】According to the second paragraph, Vanessa________.
A．Got used to singing songs
B．Was too shy to speak
C．Was the youngest in the class
D．Enjoyed the author’s classes
【小題3】When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh, yes!”, the author felt________.
A．SurprisedB．HappyC．FrightenedD．Satisfied
【小題4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.
B．Vanessa became as healthy as other children.
C．The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.
D．Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream.
