The first week of my summer campaign has been quite an experience! I'm learning the ups and downs of guiding this new journey,and I'm soon finding my footing in the wonderful world of support raising. Some may ask: Why do you choose a job where support raising is necessary? Why not just find a ministry that will support you without having to do any extra work? I had a wonderful support meeting this week where I was able to have some very good conversations with the lady I was sharing with.It blessed my soul to see her eyes light up with the same passion（热情）I felt in my heart about the ministry I was sharing with her.I kept thinking in my head "I've shared my passions with her,and she gets it."At the end of our meeting she decided to become a donor,but she gave me something extra that I haven't received from anyone else.She gave me a handmade wooden cross,small enough to carry with me. As soon as she handed it to me,I knew it was a gift sent from God,through an act of friendship.It's a symbol of a partnership that is developing through this journey,a symbol of how God can send us messages and a symbol of new friendships to come throughout the summer and my time in the middle east.Finally,it's a symbol of the example of what it looks like to build relationships with people who will join you in sharing with the world.It's something I'll treasure through the rest of my summer campaign,through my service in the middle east,and the rest of my life. 1.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. He is a quick learner. B. He enjoys trying new journeys. C. He regrets joining in the summer campaign. D. His summer campaign is delivering support. 2.What does the author's job require him to do? A. Help others. B. Raise support. C. Share with others. D. Work extra hours. 3.What did the lady do for the author? A. She inspired passion in him. B. She found a ministry for him. C.

There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands,and in cities like Amsterdam and The Hague up to 70% of all journeys are made by bike. The BBC's reporter,Anna Holligan,examines what made everyone get back in the saddle（车座） Before World WarⅡ,journeys in the Netherlands were mainly made by bike,but in the 1950s and 1960s,as car ownership increased quickly,this changed.As in many countries in Europe, roads became increasingly crowded. The jump in car number caused a huge rise in the number of deaths on the roads.In 1971 more than 3,000 people were killed by motor vehicles,and 450 of them were children.In response a social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children was formed.Called Stop de Kindermoord,it took its name from the headline of an article written by journalist Vic Langenhoff whose own child had been killed in a road accident. The Dutch love of the motor vehicle was also shaken by the Middle East oil crisis of 1973,when oil-producing countries topped export to the US and Western Europe. These twin pressures helped to persuade the Dutch government to invest in improving cycling infrastructure（基础设施）and the Dutch urban planners started to change from the road-building policies designed mainly for cars. To make cycling safer and more inviting,the Dutch have built a vast network of cycle paths.These are clearly marked,have smooth surfaces,separate signs and lights for those on two wheels,and are wide enough to allow cycling side by side and overtaking. Even before they can walk,Dutch children live in a world of cycling.As babies they travel in special seats on bikes.As the children grow up they ride their own bikes.And,as the Dutch are not allowed to drive until 18,cycling offers teenagers an alternative form of freedom. The state also plays a part in teaching,with cycling lessons a compulsory（必修的）part in Dutch schools.All schools have places to park bikes and at some schools 90% of pupils cycle to class. 1.What does Anna Holligan intend to find out? A. Why cycling is popular in the Netherlands. B. How journeys are made in the Netherlands. C. What's the main means of transport in the Netherlands. D. What makes the children like cycling in the Netherlands. 2.Stop de Kindermoord is aimed at__________. A. advising people to travel by bike B. calling on more children to cycle C. improving cycling conditions for children D. asking the government to invest more in cycling 3.What resulted in the Dutch government's changing road-building policies? A. More cars and road accidents. B. More cars and higher oil prices. C. Road accidents and oil shortage. D. A social movement and oil crisis. 4.What do we learn about the Dutch children? A. They must get a license to ride a bike. B. They are not allowed to drive until 16. C. They must have cycling lessons at school. D. They don't use bikes when they are very young.
