Wang Weiguo,an award-winning actor of the National Theatre Company of China,was wandering through Beijing's Panjiayuan Flea Market when he found a treasure,20 exquisite(精致的) picture frames.He bought them all.
Inside the frames was a woman's life story.There were pictures of her as a baby and a growing child and pictures with her parents.Wang Weiguo was sure someone had lost them.He contacted the police and media.He showed them to friends and to people living outside China.No one recognized the people in the photographs.
That was 1999.Wang never gave up the search.In 2010 he told the story to a TV host,Zhang Zequn,who suggested he contact China Radio International.Within three months of the story's being posted on CRI,someone recognized Julie Ege in one of the photographs.The wonderful Norwegian actress and model was the mother of the child whose growing years the photos traced.
The child was Joanna Syson.She moved to Beijing in the 1990s to study Chinese.In 1999 she returned to Norway for six months,entrusting(托付) all her belongings,including the photographs,to a friend.When she returned,the friend was gone.So were her belongings.She was heartbroken.
More than a decade passed.Then,thanks to the story posted on CRI and to a visitor to the website,the trail(踪迹) finally led to Joanna Syson.She traveled to Beijing to meet Wang Weiguo,who had searched for her for 12 years,and to recover her treasured photographs.
Syson's Norwegian home was burned a few years ago.All of her family photographs were lost.Now at least,she has the photographs found by a good man that never stopped trying to return them to her.

体裁:谈论文 话题:人与自然 时间:6分钟
Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and,at its best,it makes little environmental influence.But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地) and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places,particularly in crowded low-land Britain.Wherever you are,find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces,and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building.For example,it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,but in England you must ask the landowner's permission,except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation,sleeping outdoors,experiencing bad weather,and making do without modern conveniences.A busy,fully-equipped campsite(野营地) seems to go against this,so seek out smaller,more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches.Better still,find a campsite with no road access;walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep.Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment.Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland,avoid standing dead trees,which may fall on a windy night.Avoid animal runs and caves,and possible homes of biting insects.Make sure you have most protection on the windward side.If you make a fire,do so downwind of your shelter.Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world.Avoid damaging plants.A good campsite is found,not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
【语篇导读】 野营是人们感受自然的绝佳方式,既感受自然又不破坏自然,但我们需要知道该做什么和不该做什么。

体裁:记叙文 话题:社会热点 时间:6分钟
Recently,a student used his Personal Digital Assistant(PDA) to film a female teacher scolding a classmate and tearing his work.The public discussion that the incident caused started on the Internet.However,when it came to the media's attention,it quickly became a major topic in the education circles.The reactions so far suggest that the focus of the debate has been on one question: who is to blame?
Teachers who are anxious to defend their professional dignity have tried to put the blame on the student.They mention their right to privacy(隐私) and for this reason they request the Ministry of Education(MOE) to prohibit PDAs in schools.On the other hand,some parents and students have taken a different position.They feel that the teacher is also at fault.Caught up in the war of words between both sides,people are no longer interested in the “truth” of the matter which seems now unimportant.It is left to newspapers to discover the central point of the controversial issue,by stressing the problems that are not always easily noticed in our educational system.
For those responsible for educating the young,this PDA incident conveys the message that “Times have changed”,a reality that must have been felt even more strongly by the female teacher when reflecting on this unpleasant experience.Different times call for different professional approaches in education.The ability to understand the students they are teaching has always been the quality of successful teachers.Despite some factors,the incident shows that the teacher lacks good qualities on her part.Besides,the rules under the current system to deal with recalcitrant students need to be improved.Also,it is an example which shows the issue we are familiar with: what to do with new technology? With PDAs,the new technology,the interaction(沟通) between teachers and students in the classroom has been changed.
【语篇导读】 同学用PDA记录了老师的不良行为引发了一系列的辩论,是老师,还是同学应当受到责怪?
