So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,” he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do throat singing, which has few words and much sound.Their art is influenced by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions, and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here,” Ambrose said.71. From the tales told by the Inuit, people can learn _. A. about their life as early as thousands of years agoB. why they tell the stories in a throat-singing wayC. how cold it has been where the Inuit liveD. how difficult it is to understand the Inuit72. According to the writer, which of the following is not true? A. Storytelling once stopped in Wales.B. Storytelling has a long history in Wales.C. Storytelling is always well received in Wales.D. Storytelling did not come back until 1993 in Wales.73. The underlined words “in good hands” mean_. A. controlled by rich peopleB. grasped by good storytellersC. taken good care ofD. protected by kind peopleBMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded (repayed). When I left a 20-year job in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.74. The passage is meant to _.A. warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people its unrealistic for writers to seek wealth and fameD. encourage young people to seek good jobs75. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.76. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing work?A. He wasn't able to produce a single book.B. He hadn't seen a change for the better.C. He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He found his dream would never come true.CCaptain GoodfellowDo your children enjoy interesting stories, funny games, or exciting dances?

The 13-year-old American girl won the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her two-year hard work collecting discarded (废弃的) batteries for recycling.In 2003 Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There, she saw an exhibit about how poisonous chemicals affect plants and animals in Lake Erie. She felt she had to act. "The amount of fish that were dying scared me," she said. Haggerty learnt that discarded batteries give off poisons into the environment and that recycling was an easy solution. "I think everybody can do it, because everyone uses batteries, and it can make a big difference." With these words, she began to increase awareness in her area. She talked to her county government and school board. She got permission to start a recycling programme in schools as well as the public library, hospital, and churches. With help from her family, friends, and local waste-management officials, she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made an educational video. Over the past two years, four tons of batteries have been collected. They are sent for recycling
