Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual one because he wants to be different.

For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at school. But when staying with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.

During the 1890s, basketball was becoming the most popular gym game in America. But basketball was not a good sport for older people to play, because of much running in the game. So in 1895, William Morgan, a gym teacher in Holyoke, Massachusetts, America, decided to invent a new game that would be good for older persons too. He invented a game which was played with the same kind of ball as basketball, but more like tennis.

At first Morgan called the game “minonette”. But when he watched players hitting the ball back and forth (向前) with their hands, or “volleying (凌空截球)”, he changed the name to volleyball.

Volleyball and basketball, which were both invented in the nineteenth century, have become two of the most popular games. Today, volleyball has more and more players and spectators (观众) around the world.

Li Ruyan, 13 and his classmates in Shanghai did something special last summer. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking(乱穿马路).

As part of the school project. Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community work. After the half day of exhausting work Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore. “I think through community work we get to help others and, more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility(责任感),”he said. Community service is an

important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours of community service before graduation. For those Americans who have finished 1,400 hours of community work, they can be awarded nearly $ 5, 000(33, 000 yuan). Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work.

More than one million children are homeless in the United States. To help them, the 12-year-old Zach Bonner walked hundreds of kilometers from his home city of Tampa to Washington, D.C. “There are still so many children who don’t have homes in this country. It’s terrible. ”

Zach explained, “And it is also surprising that most people know little about the problem.” Zach said, “Because of the economic(经济) problem, people are losing their jobs. That’s a reason why they become homeless. ”

It took him three years to finish his walk, which he began when he was only eight years old. He walked 20 kilometers a day. He also took books with him to go on with his study by teaching himself.

Zach had a long history of helping others. Six years ago a strong storm hit Zach’s home city. He went around his neighborhood with a little red wagon (小车), asking for water and other things to help others.

He called his work “From My House to the White House.” He got tens of thousands of dollars for those homeless children. That also made Zach the youngest helper of America.

The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don't want to, because it is considered (认为) bad manners in the West to leave one's food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he very often refuses (拒绝) the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct (直接的) way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, "No, thanks." When an American dislikes the beer served by the host, for example, he might say, "No, thanks. I'll take some diet Coca-Cola(可口可乐) if you have it." That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

51. From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually _______ to the guests. A. very hot B. rude C. impolite D. cold 52.

What is it like being a film star? What is it like n front of the camera? Students from Steamboat Spring Middle School in the US could tell you exactly what it’s like. They recently got a taste of the life of a star.

A local movie company wanted to produce a film. All the actors in this film were to be students. Fourteen students were chosen from the school. The film, called Ruby vs Wolfgang, was based on the story of little Red Riding Hood(小红帽). It came with a twist(改变), however---the story was told from the perspective(看法) of the wolf.

Zoe Walsh, a seventh-grader, signed up to do behind- the- scenes work. But she soon found herself in front of the camera instead. She played a strange middle school student in the film. “It is just for fun,” she told the Steamboat Today. “Just pretending that you’re someone else.” But there were also difficulties. It was very cold during shooting. Students had to put up with snow and icy wind.

Lack(缺乏) of experience was another problem. The director Michael Staley said he tried to “help each student bring out the wolf ---or Whatever animal they representing---in themselves” Erus Harrington, an eighth---grader, said he played a “nice, silly British guy”. He learned the
