For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue，N.Y.，today is speech day，and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes，he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
   But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…" Chris trips on the "-ld，" a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher，Thomas Whaley，is next to him，whispering support. "…Vote for …me …" Except for some stumbles，Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion，Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
   A son of immigrants，Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls（回想起） how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
   Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student，" Whaley explains，"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，'I don't know，but I want to know.'"
   Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀） about themselves.
   "Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities，" Whaley says， "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."

  • 3．At 1，345 meters above sea level，Ben Nevis is definitely not the world's most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels，especially if you're a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
       Ben Conway，a 19-year-old art student from London，recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m.，on June 27，and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen，a friend from his art foundation year，who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn't the smoothest experience.
       Halfway up Ben Navis，one of his shoes broke，so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn't make it easy for him either，as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time，and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions，Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.
       Apart from providing a unique art school application project，the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes，like Sal's Shoes，which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
       "Raising money for charity brings happiness to people's lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness，then that's what it's all about"，Ben said.

    （1）What can replace the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 1？

    A．Pleasant.
    B．Boring.
    C．Tough.
    D．Smooth.
    （2）Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben？

    A．To prove nothing is impossible.
    B．To record a special experience.
    C．To promote their friendship.
    D．To assist in Ben's application.
    （3）What does Paragraph 3 focus on？

    A．The difficulties in the climb.
    B．The climbing route.
    C．The terrible weather.
    D．The unexpected incident.
    （4）What can best describe Ben's story？

    A．Puzzling.
    B．Inspiring.
    C．Exciting.
    D．Frightening.
