A

In April 2014，the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean！The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.

A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel，Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.

The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps，dated May 17，1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible（字迹模糊的），the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.

From the address，researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz，who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group，he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough，they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter，Angela Erdmann，who still lives in Berlin.

“It was almost unbelievable，”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message.“That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face.\"

Erdmann never knew her grandfather，who died in 1946，but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.

The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1 ．After that，the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest

of the message.

When I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.

Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.

Determined to do this on my own ，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a

job. However，I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.

of the skin.

In America，many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health

experts advise against what is called“tanning”because of its links to akin cancer. In the African

country of Senegal（塞内加尔），some women take health risks trying to do just the o te.

An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and

soaps. The World Health Organization says that 25％of Senegalese women use skin-lightening

production a usual basis. These products can contain chemicals，like mercury（汞）， hydroquinone（对苯二酚），etc. These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and

possibly other physical damage to the akin. They can actually burn the eyes and skin. Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise

fast results. She users a cream that is made from carrots，not the strong chemical，hydroquinone.

She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her. Some women want to be black

every day，but for her，she likes to be a shade of brown.

Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the

world make changes to their appearance. They say they want to look beautiful，to find a husband，

to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event.

used the most

shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman says

that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man，to he loved or they

want to please society，to succeed.\"

Ms. Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and the sale of

skin-lightening products. But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.

A. beauty is just a personal choice B. a cream from carrots is healthier C. it is beautiful to be black every day D. a product can make you beautiful quickly

34 ．We can infer that women in Senegal ．

A. attract attention with shockingimages B. don't consider dark skin to be beautiful

C. find it hard to understand the true beauty D. put beauty in the first place in their heads

35．What is Sall's attitude towards skin-lightening products? A. Unsupportive. B．Casual. C. Responsible. D. Positive. 第二节（共5小题海小题2分，满分10分）

I was walking to school this morning when I caught sight of an old woman with a walking stick lying on the ground. I quickly ran over to help her up and asked her what was wrong with her. She told me she slipped and fell due to heart trouble. I was worried and decided to take her to a hospital. And then I went to a department store near the hospital and contacted her family. Soon her son and daughter came to the hospital. They thanked and praised me for my kindness by writing me a thank-you letter. Although I was late for school today, I felt very proud of what I had done.
