   Hank Viscardi was 26 years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be a full five feet eight inches tall.
Hank had been born without legs. Until he was seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. At last he had not legs, but stumps
(残肢)that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.
   Out of the hospital, Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him
Ape Man because his arms dragged(拖)on the ground.
   He went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.
   After graduation, Hank worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, Hank had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.
   Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial
(人造的)legs.
Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.
But this was not the end yet. He had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed the stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War
came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, the man without legs.

    Most Americans believe that someone isnt grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center. 
The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married;  and age 26.2 having a child.
 
There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions, said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.

8. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.   
A. has found a full-time job                    
B. has finished his study in university
C. can make money and support himself after completing his education
D. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation
9. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.   
A. finding a job          B. finding a girl friend
C. making money          D. preparing for his wedding
10. The underlined word
status in the second paragraph probably means ________
A. position       B. rank     C. level        D. situation
11. From the passage, we learn that _________.   
A. being grown-up is just a matter of age
B. being grown-up is a process which takes some time
C. all people think completing education means being grown-up
D. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up

  When asked about the secret of their success, she said, "Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."
  "It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(

Summer safety tips for children

Summer is a time for having fun in the sun! Children should be able to have fun but they should also be safe. Here are some helpful tips all parents should discuss with their children.

Never talk to strangers

Water safety

For children who cannot swim, they should not go into the deep area of the water. And they should also play at places where there are lifeguards. This way if something were to happen, they would have someone there to help them. 18

Dear Editor,

I am a senior high school student. Recently I’ve found that more and more students had mobile phones on their own.

They think them a fashion to have one ever since it’s very easy to keep in touch with their friends. However, some often takes their mobiles to the classroom. Sometimes we are disturbed by a suddenly ring. What’s bad, some even send messages in class wasted much of their time.

Our classroom is what we give all our attention to what we need to learn. The less we are disturbed in class, the better our achievements will be. Therefore, when a lesson is on no mobile phones should be allowed to brought into the classroom.

                                                    Yours,

               Li Hua
