Here are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which one do you think is the best?

 

I think health is the   most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we

give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water   supplies and better

health care.

—Robin, aged 16, Birmingham

 

I think the most   important thing is to improve the education of the African countries.

There is an old saying, "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed   him for a day. If you teach

him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime. " We need to   help people to help

themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears(出現(xiàn)).

―Rebecca ， aged 15 ， Liverpool

 

People seem to give a lot   more money to charity(慈善機(jī)構(gòu))when there is a sudden,

huge disaster(災(zāi)難)like the earthquake. It's good for people to   do so. But I also think

that we should give a small part of our salary(工資)to charity as well. If everyone did

that, it would make a big difference.

―Mary, aged 14， Stratford-on-Avon

 

Giving money to charity   can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these

countries need is a good government.

―Bethany, aged 16， Newcastle

 

The best thing we can do   is to send experts(專(zhuān)家)like engineers, doctors and

teachers to help the people to help themselves.

―Robert, aged 16， Cardiff

(       )6. Which two children share the similar opinion?

A. Mary and Rebecca.                                         B. Bethany and Mary.

C. Rebecca and Bethany.                                    D. Rebecca and Robert.


 

(       )7. Who pays more attention to Africans' health care?

A. Mary.                                                                  B. Robin.

C. Rebecca.                                                             D. Robert.

(       )8. What does Rebecca mean by saying "We need to help people to help themselves"?

A.     We should help the teachers in Africa to improve their teaching ways.

B.     We should help people in Africa how to build a good government.

C.     We should help the African people develop skills to make a living.

D.     We should help the African people build more schools. (       )9. What is Mary's opinion？

 

A.     We should usually do what we can to help the African people.

B.     It is not good for people to give so much money to the African people.

C.     It is very important to have a good government.

D.     We can send more teachers there to help the African people. (       )10. Where are these suggestions posted?

A. In a textbook.                                                 B. On the website.

C. In a guidebook.                                               D. In a magazine.

My granddaughter,10. was very happy the day before yesterday because her mother and the mother of one of her classmates took them to a park and a Pizza Hut (比薩餅屋) to celebrate Children's Day. For a whole day,the two girls played heartily―no homework,no extracurricular (課外) skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday,everything returned to normal ： doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend's English and "Olympic mathematics"(數(shù)學(xué)奧賽) courses.

Celia felt really bad. Last month, her friend Linda moved away toItaly. What should she do now? Celia thought hard. Could she keep the book and never say anything because they would probably never see each other again? Or could she find a way to give the book back to Linda?

Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Fd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership―a shop selling cars―was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say " thank you" ，and it meant so much.
