Ralph Wiley was born in 1926. There were eight boys and four sisters in the family, yet he says it wasn’t a hard life. His father worked in a sawmill in the woods. When Ralph was in the fifth grade, the teacher told him to go outside to get a whip, because she wanted to whip one of the students.
He walked outside, got the whip and stood in the doorway with it. “If you want it badly enough,” he told the teacher, “come and get it, because I’m not coming back in.” That was his last day of school.
Ralph never did marry. He lived with his brother, Cliff. And he worked on a farm, with fifty white faced cows.
Then he started collecting bottles and cans for the recycling center.
Then his brother died, and Ralph developed diabetes （糖尿病） and lost both legs. Now he lives here in Bradbury Manor Nursing Home, and he likes it. He rolls around in his wheelchair all over the place. He’s a happy person who feels life has been good to him.
Why? After all, so many people would feel disappointed if they had never married ... if they hadn’t finished school ... if they were old and lost both their legs and were living in a nursing home. Why does Ralph Wiley feel life has been good to him?
“I just do,” he says, “I get in bed by myself. I go to the bathroom by myself. I made my bed myself yesterday.”
We all make our own beds, and we all have to lie in them. Ralph has made his bed exceptionally comfortable, which is why he shall surely rest in peace.

The college entrance exam may not be far away, but Senior 3 student Li Weijia spent last Saturday exploring Beijing Jiaotong University.
This doesn’t count as a day off, though. The 17 - year - old girl wanted to see the campus for herself rather than make a blind choice in selecting a university.
“A campus tour gives me the chance to experience university first hand before I start,” explained Li, who must make a final decision in two months time. “It also helps me to focus on my goals and, therefore, inspires me to study harder.”
Tens of thousands of Senior 3 students and their parents are busy doing the same thing this month as up to 20 universities and colleges in Beijing open their doors to would - be - freshmen. This is the third time that universities in the capital have run campus tours. Other cities, such as Shanghai and Guangzhou have introduced similar programmes.
In the past, the only way graduating high school students could get information was through the yearly university and college fairs.
“For many students, these fairs were like a blind man touching an elephant,” said Liu Mingli, deputy （副的） director of Peking University’s Enrollment Office. “You couldn’t get enough information about a university or a major you were interested in.”
On a campus tour, students can see their future domitories （宿舍）, chat with their future classmates and get a taste of the place where they could spend at least the next four years. Peking University will open some departments, libraries, dormitories and dinning halls to high school students on April 25, and introduce certain major.
Education experts suggest that students should make full use of these tours by searching the Internet for basic information about campuses and preparing some questions in advance. Students are also advised only to visit the campuses they are most interested in. 39. Why do Senior 3 students do campus tours by themselves?
A. They like traveling where they want to live a college life early.
B. They want to know more information and details about universities and colleges. C. They are forced to do that by their parents. D. They like traveling.
40. How many times have the universities and colleges in Beijing carried out campus tours? A. Four times. B. Five times. C. Three times. D. Many times.
41. Is there other cities besides Beijing that have a campus tours?
A. Yes. B. No. C. No, but some cities will do. D. Maybe. 42. Will Peking University introduce all its majors to the Senior 3 students who come? A. Yes, it will. B. No.

Kenya Wildlife Park
Ah, Africa! My favorite place in the whole wide world. It’s the only place where you can lie in bed at night and listen to hyenas （土狼） and lions. That’s exactly what I did on a recent trip to Kenya plus a whole lot more.
My friend Pat and I visited the Maasai Mara. Many other wildlife parks compete for the title of “most famous” or “Most popular”. But the Maasai Mara boasts the largest wildlife population in East Africa. If you like wildlife, it’s a must - see tourist destination (visited place).
We made a 400 - km trip to the park from Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, by car. We know we were getting close to the park when we started seeing the antelope （羚羊） right next to the road. We also saw many Maasai people － men, women and children dressed in red, driving their cows along dirty roads.
We checked in at our camp and then headed out into the park. We returned with plenty of photos of what we’d seen: elephants, three lions, antelopes and more.
The next morning, we readied ourselves for our next big adventure: a hot - air balloon ride! From high in the air, we saw giraffes （长颈鹿）, elephants and many different kinds of antelope on the ground below. After almost an hour in the air, we touched down for breakfast beside the Mara River.
Later that day, Pat and I drove to the western side of the park. Philip, our guide, didn’t just tell me where to drive. He also pointed out at least 15 lions!
After an exhausting (tiring) day, Pat and I were more than happy to check in to a Maasai - style hotel and relax. The next day, from the window of our hotel room, Pat and I observed the animals in the valley below. We saw two lions hunting an antelope. And we watched the hippos （河马）, giraffes and elephants in the valley below for hours. Though the animals were too far to hear us, we couldn’t help but whisper! It was the most serene scene neither of us had ever experienced.
Would I go back? Definitely!
