题目内容
When I crossed a small road on my first day in
Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭). It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw(人力黄包车).He stopped and picked up two children from the 
front
door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in
Kolkata has many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way
through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can
always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market
and waits for you. Then he loads (装载)all your
things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload. No other type of
public transport offers this kind of service.
From June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In some parts of the city, the roads flood (水淹), and anything with an engine(发动机) is useless. But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.
But not everyone thinks rickshaws
are a good thing. The local government want to ban rickshaws. They believe it
is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in
the city. However, there is a problem
with
this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job
they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw. If the city bans rickshaws,
these men won't have a job. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go
by rickshaw.

A. The rickshaw drivers carry things for local people in Kolkata.
B. Parents need rickshaws for taking children to school in Kolkata.

Li Ruyan, 13 and his classmates in Shanghai did something special last summer. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking(乱穿马路).
As part of the school project. Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community(社区)work.
After the half day of exhausting work Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore.
“I think through community work we get to help others and, more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility(责任感),” he said.
Community service is an important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours of community service before graduation. For those Americans who have finished 1,400 hours of community work, they can be awarded nearly $ 5, 000(33, 000 yuan).
Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work. It will become part of their school grade.
