　　第I卷（选择题）

一、阅读理解

　　　Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea

　　　The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It's also very foggy (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!

　　　U Bein Bridge, Myanmar

　　　This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it's certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!

　　　The Trift Bridge, Switzerland

　　　At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn't have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you'd better do it quickly!

　　　The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

　　　In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It's one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school --imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It's made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙)between them. Step carefully!

　　　Anjali Mishra is a rising junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. At 17, she is president and founder of her school's UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) USA club, and a member of UNICEF's national council (委员会). She also volunteers her time in different communities.

　　　How did Anjali develop such a passion (热情) for helping others? When she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude. She was invited to a cousin's wedding in India.

　　　"My mom kind of forced me to go," Anjali says. "When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child. I was able to get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied."

　　　Anjali asked herself: "What can I do to help? UNICEF stood out to me because it's always on the front lines helping children in need."

　　　After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded actively. She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF's national council.

　　　"UNICEF really liked my work," she says. "Out of 3,000 applicants, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them."

As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNICEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.
