The Well That Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain. It was very close — only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometers to get water every day And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick ” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help ”
At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbors. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbors and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help ”, but “How can I help today ”. This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality.

Dear Agony Aunt,
I’m in a total mess here-hope you can help me out!
I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I’m crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said.
This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry with my friend. What should I say to him And should I say anything at all to my teammate
Embarrassed and ashamed, I can’t concentrate on anything. Please help!
Dear Ben,
There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. Treated this way, you’re sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we can’t.
But I have to say that it’s partly your fault isn’t it You admit that you were “letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always think before we speak.
Here’s what you need to do. First, apologize to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games (and I’m sure you do!), you need to work together, and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon be repaired.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! Filled with anger, you tend to say whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight, then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own, you’ll soon find everything works out.
8. Why did Ben’s team lose the match
A．The opponents were too strong.
B．The point guard performed badly.
C．Ben didn’t play well in the match.
D．The team were not united.
9. What put Ben in an awkward situation
A．His letting off steam.
B．His team’s losing the match.
C．His not concentrating on studying.
D．His best friend’s telling what he said to others.
10. Which example shows the saying “Loose lips sink ships”
A．An old man often helps those in trouble.
B．What you say may cause a terrible result.
C．People admire Tom for his brave behaviour.
D．A young man talks to others in a polite manner.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A．How to deal with conflicts between teammates
B．Agony Aunt explaining the causes of problems.
C．Agony Aunt helping Ben to resolve some problems.
D．“Loose lips sink ships” meaning causing all kinds of trouble.

Live from the Louvre
Hi, it’s Zack! Greetings from Paris, everyone! This broadcast is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth — the Louvre! Today we’re going to find out about some of the Louvre’s most amazing treasures. Here we go!
Now, at the top of these stone stairs, get a load of that! That huge sculpture you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this is! It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship. Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the result of an ancient battle. And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind! I really can’t believe she’s made of stone. The skill of the sculptor is just incredible.
Okay, I’d better move on. You can see there are so many people here. I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. And you’re really going to love what’s coming up next. It’s the one and only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than you would expect, and is protected by glass. But from here I can get a good view to show you. When I look into her eyes it seems she has a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile. I guess that’s why she attracts so many visitors every day.
And now, it’s time to get up close and personal with one of history’s greatest artists — Rembrandt! He painted this self-portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self-portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th-century selfie Or was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model
About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything! I’ll say bye for now, and hope you can all visit this fantastic place one day to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves. They really do reach out to us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing. By the way, if you have enjoyed this live broadcast, subscribe to find out where I’m visiting next!
12. What can we learn from Zack’s description of the Winged Victory of Samothrace
A．The sculpture was vividly carved.
B．It was made by a famous painter.
C．The artist had lost her arms.
D．The sculptor broke the sculpture’s arms.
13. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．Mona Lisa looks quite beautiful.
B．Mona Lisa often smiles at visitors.
C．The room is crowded with visitors.
D．Mona Lisa is kept at the top of the stairs.
14. Which can exactly explain why Rembrandt painted so many self-portraits
A．He loved his appearance so much.
B．He wanted to take a selfie of himself.
C．He found it cheaper to draw himself.
D．He made the reason unknown to us.
15. What do we know about the Louvre from the last paragraph
A．The Louvre is very large in size.
B．Many artists live in the museum.
C．The visitors are unwilling to leave.
D．More visitors will come to the Louvre.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now ” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money ” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右;
First, he made advertisements.

One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the hearing aid in her ear.

Dear Jack,
How are you doing I’m writing to tell you about the traditional Chinese painting exhibition held in our school hall last Friday.
Many famous paintings were on show. Besides, professional painters gave wonderful lectures on painting skills and culture. Students also communicated with artists face to face.
This activity helped us better understand traditional Chinese art and greatly raised our interest in painting.
Hope you can join us next year.
Yours,

First, he made advertisements. He printed dozens of leaflets and handed them out around the community after school every day. Soon several parents contacted him and asked him to tutor their kids in math and English. Andy devoted all his spare time to tutoring, never wasting a minute. Though tired every night, he kept saving every coin he earned. After months of hard work, he finally saved enough money to buy a hearing aid.
One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the hearing aid in her ear. When Mary woke up, she clearly heard birds singing outside the window and Andy’s soft greeting. Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. She hugged Andy tightly, too moved to speak. Andy smiled, knowing all his efforts were worthwhile. From then on, Mary could communicate with her son easily again, and their hard life was filled with warm happiness.
