    Mrs. Knowles with her three sons was driving from her home in Perth to Adelaide in the early hours one morning when she saw a strong light on the road. She slowed down, thinking that it was a traffic light. Suddenly, a strange light seemed to be on the top of the car, trying to pick the car up away, and off the road, before dropping it again. Terrified and out of control, the family noticed some black powder(粉末)coming into their car and it smelt terrible. Just at that moment, they saw something else in the light it looked like a man. Maybe it was an alien. It had a black body with a white face and two white hands. But luckily it was gone in a short time.

    The family were very surprised and scared. They drove to the nearest town and reported the strange thing to the police. At first, the police thought that the woman must have been so tired that she was dreaming. They only gave her a cup of tea to calm her down. Finally, the police agreed toinspectthe car, and to their surprise, they saw the powder, smelt the terrible smell and also found some small dents(凹痕)on the top of the car. And another driver on the same road, said he had also seen the strange light in the distance.

      If you want to do a school project on children's rights (权利), you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.

     The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:

    ◆Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered (庇护) by their family. If their family can't do so, the government should takeresponsibility.

    ◆Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.

    ◆Children must not be cruelly punished (惩罚) by their parents or any others.

    ◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse（虐待）and neglect (忽略).

    ◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.

    ◆Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.

     In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.

     The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

  Hi, my name is Mei Shan. I study in a high school now. It seems that my life has changed a lot in the past few years. For example, I used to be short but now I am tall. I used to have long hair, but now I have short hair because I have no time to take care of it. I used to be afraid of the sea because I didn't know how to swim, but now I am a good swimmer in our school. As for eating, I used to have meat and eggs but now I like eating more vegetables.

  When I was young, I didn't use to read any books, but now I often read some storybooks. When I was in primary school, I used to play ping-pong with my friends after school, but now I have to go home right now and do my homework. I didn't like math and I used to be terrified of tests, but now I like all the subjects and never mind any tests. In the past, I used to have time to chat with my friends online, but now I am too busy to do it. How I miss my old days!

    Margaret Porter is a violinist and music teacher. According to her, the best age to start learning the violin is between three and six. She says, “It's the time when you are learning about the world.” Margaret, who was born in London, likes to take pupils at three and four. However, she has made lots of exceptions (例外) for five-year-olds. She started teaching the violin in 1972 and she taught her children's five-year-old school friends at first.

    In Margaret's opinion, it's important for one to know why music sounds the way it does. Without knowing it, one can't become a great musician at all. So from the earliest lessons, pupils in her class learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years. Margaret says that her method is not to produce great violinists. She always suggests that pupils should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

    I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French—speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.

    On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine(测定)our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.

    I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.

    On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style(欧式的)buildings, and learned some stories there.

    Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed(沉浸)in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
