Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals (罪犯)are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.‎ There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn't change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.‎ One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help theft friends ill time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started" Vision Quest". ‎ He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.‎ The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance. w*w*w*k*s*5*u*c It's hard work on the road. The work starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.‎ Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day_____________. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today. Americans still say, " Go west, young man." ‎ ‎1.What’s the main idea of the passage? w*w*w*k*s*5*u*c*o*m ‎ ‎   ‎ ‎2.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?‎ The criminals are very unfortunate ,because they have single parent or they are orphans ‎  ‎ ‎3.Please fill in the blank in the passage with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within ten words) w*w*w*k*s*5*u*c*o*m ‎ ‎  ‎ ‎4.What do you think of the meaning of the travel to the young men in the old days according to the passage?(within 30 words)‎ ‎  ‎ ‎5.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.‎ ‎  ‎ 单元反思与总结 ‎ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Part Ⅲ Homework w*Yi So-yeon, an engineer from Seoul, returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson.‎ ‎ A technical problem turned a routine (常规) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members' stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about ‎420km (260 miles) wide of their target.‎ ‎ "During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere," Yi said.‎ ‎ "At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too."‎ ‎ Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. ‎ ‎ "In fact, they are the heroes right now," Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. "I'm just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero." She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS.‎ ‎ "I sang 'Fly Me to the Moon" Yi said about the 1950s pop song. "It's my favorite song from university although at that time I didn't know I would be an astronaut." ‎ ‎ The capsule's so-called "ballistic" re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere.‎ ‎ Whitson told reporters that Saturday's ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency.‎ ‎ "The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but I'm sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed," she said.‎ ‎ In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia's first space tourist touched down about ‎200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.‎ ‎ The Soyuz is the world's longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.‎ ‎ Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.‎ ‎1.
