1．In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston，eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip （點(diǎn)滴） above her to fight her bone cancer．Over her bald （禿的） head，she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes．But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes．
Then a visitor showed up． "Do you want to write a song？" asked Anita Kruse，49，rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard，a microphone and speakers．Simran stared． "Have you ever written a poem？" Anita Kruse continued． "Well，yes，" Simran said．
Within minutes，Simran was reading her poem into the microphone． "Some bird soaring through the sky，" she said softly． "Imagination in its head…" Anita Kruse added piano music，a few warbling（鳴，唱） birds，and finally the girl's voice．Thirty minutes later，she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song．
That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project，Purple Songs Can Fly，one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs．As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital，Kruse said that the idea of how she could help "came in one flash"．
The effect on the kids has been great．One teenage girl，curling （蜷縮） in pain in her wheelchair，stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written．A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It．
"My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses，" says Anita Kruse． "But they also make you happy，when the children are smiling，excited to share their CD with their families．"
Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free．From time to time，she and her mother listen to her song，Always Remembering，and they always remember the "really sweet and nice and loving" lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour．

2．Bamboo（竹子）is one of nature's most surprising plants．Many people call this plant a tree，but it is a kind of grass．
Like other kinds of grass，a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground，but it will grow back very quickly．A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres（4 feet）in 24 hours!Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe．There are more than 1，000 kinds of bamboo．
Not all bamboo looks the same．Some bamboo plants are very thin．They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres（1 foot）across．This plant also comes in different colors，from yellow to black to green．
Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools．Because it is strong，bamboo is also used to build buildings．
Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years．They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built．
In Africa，poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo．These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money，and their fields often die from no rain and no water．Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money．

8．Yesterday，I saw the old lady fall down when I was hurrying to school．I was about to help her up while suddenly a passer-by stop me，saying that I might be accused of knocking her down．Heard his words，I began to hesitate and slow down my steps．At the same time，another student，that saw everything，went up to help．The old lady said nothing but lots of thank to the good boy．I felt ashamed．
As is known to all，help others is forever a good virtue．Even though some old people are becoming immorally，we can't let it to disappear．I have made my mind that I will reach out my hand without hesitation next time．組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5
