I hope you will join us to develop the project£®The idea struck me in early 2017£®We were sitting in our class when our head teacher announced£®¡°There¡¯11 be a new boy starting school tomorrow£®He comes from the circus so he¡¯11 be with us for a while£®¡±Immediately I heard remarks like¡°Those are dirty people¡±£»¡°They eat raw meat¡±£»and¡°Watch out your bags¡±£®The teacher must have heard them and said in a very serious voice£¬¡°Jake is our guest£®Make sure you treat him well£®¡±
It was the first time I had met anyone from a circus£®Fortunately he sat in the only spare seat next to me£®Of course I didn¡¯t want to mind others¡¯business£¬but I couldn¡¯t help looking at him sideways£®I noticed Jake was smaller than me and had dirty finger nails£®His shirt was clean but had been repaired in many places and his trousers were held up by a wide£¬leather belt£®As he was sniffing loudly£¬I passed him my handkerchief£®Immediately the boys began to whisper¡°Leave him be!¡±From my left a slight movement showed that Jake must have heard the remarks too£®He seemed to be having great difficulty with his maths work and was struggling to hold his pen correctly£®He looked around as if for help£®I looked around too£®The teacher was busy so I offered to explain the problems to him£®As he listened he smiled£®His eyes lit up and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm£®He finished them quickly and proudly presented them to the teacher£®¡°Well done£¬Jake¡±£¬she approved£®Jake smiled£®
I thought about how Jake¡¯s life would be£®I remembered seeing the campsite and thinking how poor the facilities(ÉèÊ©)were£®So I decided to help£®As it was my turn to suggest a project for our grade£®I put forward this idea£®Our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plans to improve the campsite£®Hope you will join us£®
25£®Why did the students dislike Jake even before they saw him? A£®A newcomer was not welcome at that time£® B£®They always judged a person by what he looks like£®
C£®The teacher hadn¡¯t introduced Jake to them beforehand£® D£®They must have heard terrible stories about circus people£® 26£®What¡¯s the author¡¯s attitude towards Jake? A£®He copied the other boys¡¯behavior£®
B£®He was distant about what Jake¡¯s life was like£® C£®He had sympathy for the people who were in need£® D£®He couldn¡¯t ignore what other people said about Jake£® 27£®With the help of the author£¬Jake became more_______£® A£®friendly and brave C£®easygoing and helpful
B£®confident and proud D£®optimistic and warm-hearted
28£®What¡¯s the author¡¯s main purpose in writing this passage? A£®To call on more people to help Jake£® B£®To show what is in need for a circus£® C£®To ask the readers to join in his project£® D£®To argue circus people should be fairly treated£®

Reading can be a social activity£®Think of the people who belong to book groups£®They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them£®Now£¬the website BookCrossing. com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group£®
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share£®BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book£®Then the person leaves it in a public place£¬hoping that the book will have an adventure£¬traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it£®
Bruce Pederson£¬the managing director of BookCrossing£¬says£¬¡°The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read£®BookCrossing combines both£®¡±
Members 1eave books on park benches and buses£¬in train stations and coffee shops£®Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it£®
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it£®E-mails are then sent to BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been
found£®Bruce Peterson says£¬the idea£®is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home£®
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the¡°real¡±and not the virtual(ÐéÄâ)£®The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries£®
