    Elephants use their trunks (鼻子) the way people use their hands. At the end of the trunk are parts that act
like fingers. These allow elephants to do wonderful things. They pick up their food-parts of trees or maybe just
a nut. They use their trunks to drink water or spray the water over their bodies to cool off. Because elephants
do not see well, they use their trunks as "eyes".They do not walk where their trunks cannot feel the ground.

                                              Group Helps Others to Build Houses
     TEPETITAN, EL SALVADOR- Evinor Mira is only sixteen years old, but he is working as hard as an
adult man to help his family get a good house. Evinor lives with his mother and his little brother and sister in
Tepetitan, EL Salvador. His father is dead, and the family is very poor. Their house is a small one of mud
(泥土) and sticks, so Evinor is working with an organization called Habitat for Humanity to build a new home.
     Habitat for Humanity helps people who need houses but do not have much money. Each family buys the
house through monthly payments (每月付款). Their payments help build more houses because banks can then
lend money to other families. Habitat for Humanity volunteers help to build the house, but the families must do
a lot of the work themselves.
     Every morning, Evinor begins at 7:00. He and the volunteer workers from Habitat carry boards (木板),
pound nails (敲钉子), and pour concrete (混凝土) all day, six days a week. The other workers can go home
and rest at 4:00 p.m., but Evinor's day isn't over. He rides on a bus for forty minutes to go to school in another
town. He is in high school and attends classes for four hours every evening. At 9:00 p.m. he has to walk two
and a half hours to get home because there aren't any buses so late at night. Around 11:30 p.m. he arrives
home and does his homework. On Sundays, Evinor works with the Habitat organization to help other families
get houses, too.
     Evinor does not have the easy life of many teenagers, but he doesn't mind working so hard. He is proud
that he can help his own family and others in his community (社区) to have better lives.
1. _______  people living with Evinor in the small house in Tepetitan now.
2. Habitat for Humanity helps poor people to _______.
3. People who need houses can _______ banks.

     It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They
stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain
when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while climbing mountain, losing his legs. But he
never lost his love for life.
     Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand.
They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton
(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening (拴紧) one end of a 50-meter rope (绳子) to the piton, he let the other end of
the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and
fastened a T-bar (丁字铁) to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms
could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above, Peter let out a cheer, "You're on your way."
     For the first four days the two men progressed upward (向上) without accident. But on the fifth day, a
very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up
the T-bar and pulling himself up.
     It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared the group of people
waiting on the top went wild with joy.
     Mark Wellman showed that if you set your heart and mind on something, no wall is too high, no dream
impossible.
1. With the help of his friend, Mark could climb up El Captain about _____ meters in height each day.
A. 300
B. 150
C. 50
D. 30
2. While climbing, Mark _____.
A. carried the T-bar on his back and stepped upward
B. pushed up the T-bar and pulled himself up
C. sat in his wheelchair and pushed himself up
D. held on to the rope drawn up by his friend
3. Which is the correct order of the steps before Mark`s climbing?
    a. push up the T-bar
    b. tie the rope to his belt
    c. hit the piton into the rock
    d. fasten the T-bar to the rope 
    e. tie the rope to the piton

A. c-e-b-d-a
B. e-c-a-b-d

    Scientists think that a weather pattern( 形式)calledE1 Nino( 厄尔尼诺现象)caused the drought( 干旱)in Australia. E1 Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world. It causes a lot of rain and  floods in some places. It causes droughts in other places. Droughts can badly affect people and the land.    Ill Nino lasts about a year.    
    In normal weather conditions, warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the        Pacific Ocean. The winds early storms to Australia. These storms bring rain to Australia.   
    During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction. They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean. The storms no longer move across Australia. So Australia gets very little rain during El      Nino.  
    The drought began in January , 1982. El Nino often Occurs at this time of year. But that year , El         Nino was stronger than usual. There was very little rainfall(降雨量) in eastern Australia. There was also very little water in the rivers. The drought was at its worst in February ,1983 . At that time , the weather     was very hot. The forests and fields were very dry. Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton. Sheep        farmers had no grass for their animals to eat. So many of them died. Because the forests were dry. forest   fires started quickly. Some of the fires burned for a month. Many forests were destroyed. Over 2 , 000    people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died.  
    The Australian drought ofl982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals. The drought cost           the country over $ 3,000,000,000. It was a reminder(提示)to Australians of how the weather could change their lives.
