Walter Wetzel had met Ryan Lamantia nearly eight years ago in a hospital waiting room. Both were very sick——Ryan with brain cancer, Walter with leukemia (白血病). Ryan, who was 3 at the time, began making silly faces at Walter and chatted about going home to change into his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume. Several days later, Ryan moved to another hospital. Though they saw each other only a handful of times after that, Walter never forgot Ryan.
"He inspired me to fight against my cancer," said Walter, now 17, a football player. Then one day, Walter saw a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt at a mall, which made him decide to search out Ryan. Back home, Walter typed in "Ryan Lake in the Hills brain cancer" on his computer, and a link to a Facebook page for Ryan came up. But, the news was shocking.
Ryan had died on Sept. 8, 2005. He was 6. The Facebook page was for the Ryan Lamantia Foundation, a non-profit organization that Ryan's family formed after his death to raise money for brain cancer research.
Walter left this message right away: ."Ryan is my hero. My trips to the hospital were always horrible, until the day I met Ryan."
Ryan's mom's eyes were filled with tears as she read Waiter's message. "We always knew Ryan was special, but to hear it from somebody else, it really means the world to us," Lamantia said.
Walter wasn't the only person who was greatly impressed with Ryan.
"He was a little superhero," said Wendy Stellpflug, a nurse at Children' s Memorial Hospital. "Ryan always kept his spirits high, even after he suffered hearing loss and experienced 14 operations."
"Ryan didn’ t let his illness stop him. He always had a smile on his face," said Dr. Stewart Goldman, the doctor who treated Ryan.
Walter and his family have been in touch with the Lamantias for the past few weeks. And last week, they met for the first time since Ryan's death. The families told stories of being affected by cancer so young and Walter expressed his hope to volunteer with Ryan' s foundation.

The moment a college student arrives on campus, he or she is bombarded with credit card offers. Advertisements for student credit cards are everywhere: in bags at the bookstore, in the campus newspaper, in your regular mailbox, in the residence halls.
With so many college students graduating with large amounts of credit card debt (figures vary, but most are at least in the thousands), learning how to manage a student credit card can be an important lesson for any student. While using a card wisely can be an important part of building credit and making it through a difficult time, knowing how to use a card wisely can be the hard part.
Stick to the following rules when, and if, you need to use a credit card:
You can repay the charge(s) within the card’s next billing cycle.
You must meet your basic needs, like food, clothing and shelter, but set rules and be aware that you will need to repay those charges at the end of the month.
You can talk to the financial aid office in your school for an alternative in “emergency” situations.
If you do want a credit card, just be smart about it. (They let you in to that school because of your brain, right?) Don’t automatically get the first one you find. Shop around for a card that has the lowest interest rate possible, and consider places that may not be advertising on campus. Additionally, be aware of any card’s repayment options: When will payments be due? How much will they be? A credit card is not like a loan that comes with a grace period(寬限期)after you graduate and waits until you are done with school. That new sweater and nice dinner out will need to be paid back right away.
1.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Be confused by. B. Be terribly hurt by.
C. Be attracted by. D. Be surrounded by.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. A college freshman should be careful when choosing a credit card.
B. Students should take a lesson about how to use a credit card wisely.
C. A credit card will be the only help for students in emergency situations.
D. The author doesn’t appreciate the idea of having a credit card on campus.
3.What’s the best tittle for this passage?
A. Economic Tips for College Students
B. Dos and Don’ts in Using Student Credit Cards
C. Mistakes about Student Credit Cards Use in College
D. Student Credit Cards –– What You Need to Know
4.If this is a passage of a college newspaper, in which column can we read it?
A. Entertainment. B. Advertisement.
C. Economy. D. Education.

Helicopter parenting is an expression that describes parents who are over focused on their child, like a helicopter hovering ( 盤旋 ) closely over him, whether he needs them or not.
__1.__ As family sizes are getting smaller, more attention is focused on the one or two children and some parents have responded by taking more control over their lives. Also, many parents are making an attempt to develop close bonds with their children, often being overly involved in their lives. Also, some parents always fear that their children may fail in what they want to achieve, so they try to prevent the serious consequence, especially if it seems it could be avoided with parental involvement.
Sometimes the practice continues to spread due to what is called “peer (同齡人) pressure”. When parents observe other parents overparenting, it will pressure them to do the same to make sure that their own children don’t fall behind.
__2.__ For example, by always “doing” for the child, the hovering parents don’t give the child a chance to fully develop his sense of independence. As a result, the child may lack the confidence necessary to do well in school. As an adult, he might find it difficult to deal with life’s challenges. __3.__ Research has shown that helicopter parents have more anxiety because they constantly judge their own value by their children’s success.
__4.__ Experts suggest that you should let your child do tasks that he is physically and mentally capable of doing by himself, which will help to build a self-confident kid. __5.___ Gradually, your child will learn inde
pendence as he steps out on his own. Meanwhile, valuable lessons can occur when making mistakes. So if your child is allowed to make mistakes, he’s given the opportunity to learn from those lessons.
A. So how can you avoid being a helicopter parent?
B. There are a number of reasons for helicopter parenting.
C. There may be various consequences of helicopter parenting.
D. The term “helicopter parents” has been widely used in the media.
E. This parenting style also affects the parents.
F. It is also important to let your child struggle while trying new activities.
G. Some parents are just protecting their investment or acting like any other consumer.
