[单选题]Passage 1 Hidden Valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There′s a lake, some soccer fields and horses. But the campers make the difference. They′re allAmerican parents who have adopted kids from China. They′re at Hidden Valley to find bridgesfrom their children′s old worlds to the new. Diana Becker watches her 3-year-old daughter Mikadance to a Chinese version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." "Her soul is Chinese," she says, "butreally she′ s growing up American." Hidden Valley and a handful of other "culture camps" serving families with children fromoverseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7,093 in 1990 to 15,774 lastyear. Most children come from Russia (4,491 last year) and China (4,206) but there are alsothousands of others adopted annually from South America, Asia and Eastern Europe. After cuttingthrough what can be miles of red tape, parents often come home to find a new predicament. "At firstyou think, ′I need a child′," says Sandy Lachter of Washington, D. C., who with her husband, Steve,adopted Amelia,5, from China in 1995. "Then you think, ′What does the child need′" The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions. Most grewout of local support groups; Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Familieswith Children from China, which includes 650 families, while parents address weighty issues likehow to raise kids in a mixed-race family, their children just have fun riding horses, singing Chinesesongs or making scallion pancakes. "My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything,as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents," says the director, Peter Kassen, whoseadopted daughters Hope and Lily are 6 and 4. The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. "When we rented out a theater for′Mulan,′ it was packed," says Stephen Chen of Boston, whoseadopted daughter Lindsay is 4. Classes in Chinese language, art and calligraphy are taught byexperts, like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. "Our mission is to preserve theheritage," Lu says. Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complexheritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton ofBoulder, Colo., when he was 7. "I went through a stage where I hated India, hated everything aboutit," he says."You just couldn′t mention India to me." But after six sessions at the East IndiaColorado Heritage Camp, held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park, Colo., he hopes to travel toIndia after he graduates from high school next year.

[不定项选择题]共用题干 Motion Sickness

Living in space looks like lots of fun.You can do certain things in space(like floating
around,or pushing huge objects)that you cannot do on earth.But being in space can do
things to you,too.If you stay too long in a gravity-free environment,your bones could
become weak,and a small spaceship just might annoy you after a while,because space
travel could make you seasick!
On July 4, 1982,after seven days orbiting the earth,astronauts Thomas K. Mattingly
and Henry W. Hartsfield returned home.Although not all of the experiments on board
worked properly,the flight basically seemed to be a success except for one"little"thing:
early in the flight,astronaut Hartsfield became"seasick".
Thomas Mattingly,who is also a jet pilot and is highly resistant to motion sickness on
earth,did much better.Mattingly sailed through space with a steady stomach.But no one
knows why Hartsfield felt uneasy and Mattingly did not.
So far it seems there is no reliable way to predict who will become motion sick in
outer space and who will not.In all,at least four astronauts have suffered from space
motion sickness. Russian and American scientists are working together to try to
understand and solve the motion sickness.Space program officials worry that if so
many highly-trained pilots get sick in space,what will happen when civilians start flying
in the shuttle?
Motion sickness is a disagreeable feeling that comes from the pitching,rolling,
swaying,or just the moving of the object you are riding in or on.Symptoms of motion
sickness include:dizziness,headache,a sinking feeling in the stomach,and vomiting
（呕吐）.
Why does motion make some people ill?
Doctors believe that motion sickness is caused by a disturbance in the inner ear.Our
ears do more than give us hearing.A part of the ears gives us a sense of balance and helps
make us aware of whether we are right side up or upside down.
If you know that you get carsick or seasick,what can you do?
Speak to your doctor. There are certain medicines available that can help stop that
uneasy feeling.But many of them can also make you sleepy.Usually they work best taken
before you begin feeling ill.
Some people also recommend water,ice cubes,mints,or plain toast.But these
remedies do not always work for everyone.
Perhaps,since motion sickness is such a big problem in outer space,researchers
may soon find a way to cure the astronauts一and those of us who stay on earth. People suffering from motion sickness during space travel can alleviate its symptoms by eating or drinking something.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
