AHelping SeniorsMatt Posted 5/15 4:53 PMI created TeensHelpingSeniors with my friends.The group has about 200 volunteers.The volunteers deliver food or other supplies for the elderly in town.I spend six to eight hours a week buying food and making deliveries.By now we have completed 350 deliveries.Linda Posted 5/15 6:25 PMI organised MittlerSeniorTechnology,a programme to help the elderly learn how to use computers and smartphones.Now there are 50 local seniors in the weekly technology classes.I want to make sure that the seniors could stay connected to the world.Jordan Posted 5/16 5:20 PMI came up with a way to help lonely seniors with my friends.We call it Joy4AllProject. By dialing 569-4255,the elderly can hear pre-recorded jokes and poems.The hotline has received more than 1,800 phone calls.Kathy Posted 5/16 7:46 PMI heard that the seniors in the nursing home couldn't see their families and friends very often,so my friends and I have decided to cheer up the elderly by writing letters to them.We want them to know that nobody is being forgotten.By now more than 100 students in my school have joined us.1.Who created TeensHelpingSeniors?A.Kathy.B.Linda.C.Matt.D.Jordan.答案C解析细微环节理解题。
Unit 1 The Straight StoryVideo1Talia: It's all so incredible, Mom. I‟m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford…. No, that's the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.[ Knock on door ]Talia: Look, Mom, I have to go. I‟II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Y es, yes, me, too. Bye．Nick: Hi．I came as soon as I could．What‟s up?Talia: I‟ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again:When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?Nick: I‟ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting．Talia: Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．Nick: Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch．Talia: Y es, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.Nick: Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.Talia: Y eah. Y ou told me they‟re called Kicks.Nick: Right. And she explains that I, II have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.Talia: OK. Can you think of anything else?Nick: Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．Talia: A commercial? What commercial?Nick: I told you about that, didn‟t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．Video2Talia: Hang on a second. Y ou never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear mo re about this. Don‟t leave out any details. This could be important．Nick: OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…Jackie: So, you‟ll wear our shoes when you play. And we‟ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick: Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?Jackie: Uh, yeah, that‟s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we‟ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.Nick: Cool!Jackie: In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?Nick: Sure.Jackie: OK. Picture this. Y ou‟re sitting in a park. On a bench. It‟s a beautiful spring day.Nick: So far, So good.Jackie: OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, “Hey! Aren‟t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?”Nick: Uh—huh.Jackie: And you say, “That‟s me. ”Or something like that．Nick: Right．Jackie: And then the kid says, “Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?” And you say, “Kicks. What else?”Nick: That‟s it?Jackie: That‟s it.Nick: So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?Jackie: That‟s all you have to do.Talia: That‟s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch. Then she edited the tape, So it sounds like you‟re accepting a bribe.Nick: Oh. wow!Unit 2 A Hot LeadVideo1Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story.Tony: Come in. What‟s going on?Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn‟t take a bribe.

Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement. Talia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Gower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just - found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him.I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.。
