Passage 1
How much do you know
about your neighborhood? Can you recognize your
neighbors‟ faces? Teenagers from Live
Oak in California, US would say yes.
They took photos of their neighbors and put them
on city walls.
The kids took part in an
international photography experiment called the
Inside Out Project. It calls on
(
号召
) people
around the world to take black and
white photos to discover and share something about
where they live. People can upload
pictures to the project‟s website.
Large prints are then made and sent back to people
to show in their communities.
In Live Oak, you see big pictures on
the walls of an art studio
(
工作室
) and a supermarket.
Nicholas Gonzalez‟s work
covered most
of one wall. The 13-year-old took a photo of an
elderly Latino man.
“We
call
him
„The
Superman‟,”
said
13
-year-
old
Casey
Sustaitapaz.
“Ni
cholas
took
that
picture
right
outside
the
supermarket down the street called
„Super‟.”
“It‟s been really
great,” said Sustaitapaz. “We‟ve gotten to learn a
lot about our community and meet people we never
met before.”
Dyana Aquilera, 13, a student at
Mission Hill Middle School, learned about the
project through her mom and wanted to
take part.
“I really like
being a part of something so big,” she
said.
Greg
Stein
is
the
headmaster
of Shoreline
Middle
School.
He
also
attended
the
event
and said
he
wanted
to start
a
similar program at his school.
“Live
Oak
needs
some
beautification,”
Stein
said.
“This
would
really
bring
a
lot
of
flavor
(
风味
)
and
life
to
the
neighborhood.”

Passage 2
Dear Mr and Mrs Green,
Thank
you for voicing your concerns
(
关心
) about your daughter,
Amelia Green, and the lunch menu at our school. As
the schoolmaster of the school, I am
always happy to hear any thoughts you might have
about your daughter‟s educational
experience.
Y
ou
say in your letter that you do not believe that
the cafeteria offers enough healthy options
(
选择
). Y
ou also
mention
that you would like us to
monitor what your daughter buys from the school
cafeteria. Unfortunately, I do not believe
the
school can meet your
demands.
First, regarding the health of
school lunches, I must say that there are many
healthy options available to students. This
week, for example, some of our options
included salad, pasta and noodles.
Second,
for
a
monitoring
system
(
监控系统
)
in
the
school,
I
do
not
think
that
this
measure
(
措施
)
is
within
the
school‟s budget
(
预算
). We also do not have
enough workers to monitor your child at lunchtime.
It might be possible in the
future, but
now we focus on improving teaching buildings. We
will, however, keep your suggestion in
mind.
I
would
greatly
enjoy
the
chance
to
meet
with
you
and
discuss
these
options
further.
I certainly
understand
your
concerns, and I would
like to have the opportunity to relieve
(
减轻
) any worries you might
have about the cafeteria in our
school.
Please call my office at 555-555-5555
to set up a meeting or to discuss these issues
over the phone.
