题目内容
14.The International Painting Contest on Google's homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange,but it spotlightings a very serious issue:clean water,which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.Audrey Zhang,a fifth-grader from Levittown,N.Y,is the winner of this year's Doodle 4Google contest,rising to the top of some 100,000entries on the theme of"draw one thing to make the world a better place."
Her piece,titled"Back to Mother Nature,"describes a detailed water-cleaning machine.Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使…生动)her drawing.
"To make the world a better place,I came up with a transformative water purifier,a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,"Google quoted Zhang as saying."It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers,lakes and even oceans,then massively transforms the water into clean,safe and pure water.When humans and animals drink this water,they will live a healthier life."
She created a whole world around the device-one populated by humans,a whale in a top hat and dragons.
Zhang,s piece is"so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,"Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post."Every leaf seemed to have life in it."
Along with having her artwork featured on Google's homepage,Zhang wins a 30,000 dollars college scholarship.In addition,her school will receive a 50,000dollars Google for Education technology grant,and the company is donating 20,000dollars in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.On Sunday,the night before her work was revealed on net,Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win,but said she wouldn't be awake when her art first went online at midnight.
"I have school-tomorrow,so I can't stay up late,"she told the paper.

I was (27)pleasedto do it.At age five,this dull task brought me such (28)joy.I would excitedly turn the tap (29)on and brush the comb carefully.Satisfied that I'd done a good job,I would happily return the comb to Dad.He would (30)smileaffectionately at me and place the comb on his wallet.
Two years later,Dad started his own (31)business,which wasn't doing so well.That was when things started to (32)change.Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to.Mum and I became(33)madwith him for placing our family in trouble.With(34)time,an uncomfortable silence grew between us.
After my graduation,Dad's business was getting back on track.On my 28th birthday,Dad came home (35)early.As usually I helped him carry his bags into his study.When I turned to leave,he said,"Hey,would you help me (36)cleanmy comb?"I looked at him a while,then (37)tookthe comb and headed to the sink.
It hit me then:why,as a child,(38)helping Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure.That routine(习惯) meant Dad was home early to (39)spendthe evening with Mum and me.It (40)meant a happy and loving family.
I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me and (41)carefullyplaced his comb on his wallet.But this time,I noticed something (42)different.Dad had aged.He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled,(43)yethis smile was still as (44)heartwarming as before,the smile of a father who just wanted a good (45)life for his family.

As she rounded a sharp bend,it suddenly(38)grew cold-very cold.Alice's breath became puffs of white cloud and her legs so cold that it became hard to ride.
With her heart beating fast,she struggled so hard to move(39)backward that she didn't hear the car which suddenly appeared beside her.She stopped by the road.The big black car also (40)stopped.Slowly,the passenger-window began to slide down.Alice held her breath.In the soft light inside the car,something(41)started.Then,the light brightened and Alice was staring at a sweet,grey-haired old lady."Hello,dear,"said the old lady."I need(42)help.I'm afraid I'm lost.I need to find the nearest airport.I must be there in the next five minutes."
