• 2．    Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride，Lanarkshire，was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scared her for life.The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.
      Her mother Ruby turned round and，seeing Ammie horribly burnt，called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital.Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree.There，using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body，doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries，an operation that took about six hours.Over the next 16 years，Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.
      When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4，other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her. "I was the only burned child in the street，the class and the school，" she recalled， "some children refused to become friends because of that."
      Today，aged 17，Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars；pain is a permanent part of her body.She still has to have two further skin transplants.Yet she is a confident，outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
      She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children's Club，a charity set up last year.This month，Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity's first summer camp. "I will show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others，" she says.Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops，and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. "I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars，" she says， "I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago."

  A．They were friendly to her.
  B．They showed sympathy to her.

• 3．    Travel allows us to experience the world.But as we travel，we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit.This is why culturally immersive （沉浸） travel is so important.Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world.One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path，interacting with locals，and take you "Beyond the traditional Bucketlist"，if you will.
      People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on.This isn't travel.This is a vacation.But "Immersive Travel" or "Cultural Travel" is an entirely new type of trip.It is about experiencing and preserving the various traditions around the world.It's about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another's shoes.Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you.It's eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses.It's building genuine connections with locals.It's learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
      Often times in today's age， "travelers" will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away，or even just to relax on a tropical beach.But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you're traveling to.
      Beyond supporting the local communities and the preservation of local customs and traditions，you'll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels.There's simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind.You'll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better.You'll also become less judgmental of others the more you travel.
  
  （1）What's the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph？

  
  A．To stress the negative influence of travel.
  B．To describe the importance of cultural travel.
  C．To recommend a totally different type of travel.
  D．To convey his unique feelings about cultural travel.
  （2）What does the underlined word snap in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．look
  B．give
  C．take
  D．show
  （3）According to the author，today's travelers tend to

  .
  A．establish close connections with the locals during the travel
  B．choose a tourist attraction for adventure and exploration
  C．show more interest in the history of a travel destination
  D．post the photos taken in the journey on the social media
  （4）What can be inferred about the culturally immersive travel？

  
  A．It is focused on studying local people's lifestyle.
  B．Its travelers should be open-minded and understanding.
  C．It is a specific way to make judgments of other cultures.
  D．Its major concern is preserving local traditions and customs.

• 9．It was time to go home．"Remember to work on your class speeches for homework，"Miss Walker called as everyone started talking and packing their school bags．Jenny felt sick．She hated having to read aloud in class．She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her．Once，when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary，Lee was even looking at his watch，a silver and blue one which seemed just magical．
      Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school．He seemed so clever，and he had a certain sort of shining confidence．He was just one of those people who were good at everything．Jenny sighed．As she turned the comer，she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path．
      Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him，but she didn't want 10 nm after him．Jenny bent down quickly，picked up the watch and ran home．On arriving home，Jenny put it on almost without thinking．She was surprised it fitted so well．She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech．Words just flooded out of her．"I'm going to talk about swimming．I have been lucky．I've won lots of competitions．But when I'm in a race，I'm not really thinking about winning．I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water…"Jenny laughed with excitement．She walked across the room．She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence．Turning back to the mirror，Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass．The flashes of silver seemed almost magical．So maybe Lee's watch really DID have something magic about it．
      The next day，as the lesson began，Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first．Nobody moved．Jenny slowly raised her arm．Before Miss Walker could say anything，there was a shout from behind．"She's stolen my watch!"Lee said angrily，"It went missing at school yesterday．"
