Passage Two 

    Well ,it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar , a 13-years-old student from Olathe , Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009(2009 全美拼字大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee,taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes. 

    Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bieyeling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance . 

    Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition . The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tench. Eighth and fourth. 

    However ,this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long . Her last challenge was to spell out“Laodicean”. The word “Laodicean”means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the word on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly. 

    After winning Kavya exclaimed, “I can’t believe it happened ……It feels kind of unreal.”Her family was there to support her through the competition . Her father , Mirle Shivashankar said, “The competitiveness is in her….but she doesn’t show that .She still has that smile. That’s her quality .”He went on to say that this was “the moment”they had been waiting for so long. It was like “a dream come true” for them. 

40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?

B.A 13-year-old girl planning to become a star dancer.

Passage Three 

    Nothing says Happy Birthday!”like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局)，and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coins in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday. 

    Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issued starting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor,and no one could have predicted his later importance,the actual cabin is long gone.Therefore the design is based on the “symbolic cabin”displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky. 

    The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U.S.Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation. 

    The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value . Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909:a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc .In addition, I the world of “bigger”money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.
