Last weekend，Emma Zeiger,10, rode her bike ten miles in the pouring rain at the first annual Newton?Needham Pan?Massachusetts Challenge(PMC)Kids Ride. Nothing, not even bad weather, could stop her from making a difference.
This June, Emma and thousands of other kids across the Northeast participated in nearly 30 PMC Kids Rides. PMC Kids Rides raise money for the Dana?Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. Created ten years ago by Ryan Wilkinson,17, and his sister Hattie, 15, the rides are a more kid?friendly version of the annual Pan?Massachusetts Challenge.
The Wilkinson family first got the idea to create a PMC Kids Ride in 1998 when Ryan, then 7, wanted to ride in the Pan?Massachusetts Challenge.
Ryan and Hattie’s grandmother had been diagnosed with a brain tumor(肿瘤). “We were experiencing cancer for the first time，”Ryan said, “So that was on my mind when I said I wanted to ride. ”Unfortunately, PMC participants have to be at least 15 years old to ride. Ryan was only seven. So, the Wilkinson family decided to start a children’s version of the PMC.
In just a couple of weeks, the Wilkinsons organized the Wildwood Challenge, the very first Pan?Massachusetts Challenge Kids Ride. Thirteen kids rode around a neighborhood block 25 times. They raised $1,600 for cancer research. On June 21, Ryan and Hattie will celebrate the eleventh annual Wildwood PMC Kids Ride.
Since 1998, PMC Kids Rides have grown significantly. Every year, more and more kids participate. To raise money, kids do extra chores, babysit，host car washes, and send out letters asking for donations. “Every penny counts，”Hattie Wilkinson explains. “All of the money goes to a good cause. It’s really great to be able to ride for people with cancer and to represent them and raise money for them. ”Since 1998, the Pan?Massachusetts Kids Rides have raised more than $1 million for cancer research and treatment.
【解题导语】 孩子们用自己的行动来帮助那些患有癌症的人。
1. Why did Emma ride her bike ten miles in the pouring rain?
A. She did that for her grandmother.
B. She did that for the sake of her health.
C. She did that for people with cancer.
D. She was asked to do so by her parents.
解析：选C。细节理解题。由第一段的Nothing. . . could stop her from making a difference 以及第二段的PMC Kids Rides raise money for the Dana?Farber Cancer Institute可知，Emma 在大雨中骑自行车是为了帮助那些患有癌症的人。
2. When Ryan Wilkinson started PMC Kids Rides，he was only ________.
A. seventeen years old B. fifteen years old

解析：选D。细节理解题。第二段谈到PMC Kids Rides是由Ryan Wilkinson在10年前创立的，他现在17岁，故他创立PMC Kids Rides的时候，只有7岁。
3. The idea of creating a PMC Kids Ride was inspired by ________.
A. Ryan’s sister Hattie

4. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the first PMC Kids Ride was held in 1999

(2009年福建检测)“You’re going to the United States to live? How wonderful ! You’re really lucky！”
Does this sound familiar? Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But does it seem true all the time? Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting? A great many facts show that it’s not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture. They have to experience culture shock.
What causes culture shock? Maybe the weather is unpleasant. Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone，post office, or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. If you don’t look similar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel as if everyone is watching you. In fact, you_are_always_watching_yourself.
Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another. But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries. They were active and successful in their community (社区). They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self?image.
Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation (晕头转向), which may be homesickness, imagined illness, or even paranoia (妄想症). When people feel the disorientation of culture shock, they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture. Familiarity and experience are the long?term ways to settle the problem of culture shock.
【解题导语】 在人们看来，移居海外是件非常幸运的事情，然而由于气候、风俗、语言等方面的差异而造成的“culture shock”是件令人头痛的事情，文章向我们介绍了新移民们应该如何适应这些差异。
5. Who is the passage mainly for?
A. The family and friends of those who came to the US.
B. Those who have got rid of culture shock.
C. People who have just moved to a foreign country.
D. People who can easily adjust to their life in the US.
解析：选C。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们介绍了来到异国他乡，应如何克服“culture shock”，适应新环境的问题，也就是说是写给那些刚移居国外的人的。
6. The underlined part“you are always watching yourself”(in Paragraph 3)means ________.
A. you are always feeling homesick
B. you are always worried too much about yourself
C. you are always looking at yourself in the mirror
D. you are always nervous about meeting other people
解析：选B。由上一句“You may feel as if everyone is watching you. ”可以看出这种感觉是因为对自己过度担心而造成的。
7. Which of the following would be a case of culture shock for newcomers?
A. They have trouble using public telephones.
B. Their positions or hobbies stay the same.
C. They are active and successful in the new community.
D. They have got used to the life in the new country.
解析：选A。细节判断题。由第三段中的“Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone. . . ”可得出答案。
8. Which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security?
A. A new identity.
B. Local food.
C. A new self?image.
D. Strange environment.
解析：选D。细节理解题。由倒数第一段中的“They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security. ”可知答案。
9. The best way for the newcomers to overcome culture shock is ________.
A. to stay inside to protect themselves
B. to make a study of new hobbies
C. to adapt themselves to the new environment
D. to ask people for help when having difficulties
解析：选C。推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“They have to build a new self?image”及文章的最后一句话可以推出战胜“culture shock”的最好的办法就是：适应新环境，创造一个新的自我形象
