Give water, save lives
A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾)areas in China.
Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China.Some places, especially in Yunnan.Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought.Crops(庄稼)died, the land cracked, and wells(井)and rivers dried up.More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.
After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things.
Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League(共青团员)and Young Pioneers(少先队员)were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas.Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity.In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money.They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.
The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water.
Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.
“I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don' t have enough drinking water.They have to drink muddy(含有泥土的)water.I feel really sad about that," said one student.“I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water.”he said.

Sunday wants to write about West Hill in Sunshine Town for her history project. She is interviewing Mr.Hu, a 60-year-old man, who lives in West Hill. Read their conversation.
Sandy: |
How long have you lived in West Hill, Mr.Hu? |
Mr.Hu: |
I’ve lived here all my life. I met my wife here and we got married. This area was called Taihe Village before. |
Sandy: |
When did they change the name? |
Mr.Hu: |
5 When the West Hill underground station was built, the government started to take down the wooden houses in this area. Since June 2000, Taihe Village has become history. |
Sandy: |
What do you miss most about Taihe Village? |
Mr.Hu: |
10 I miss many things about Taihe Village. I was a dentist and everyone in Taihe Village knew me well. Now, I'm old and I can only sell medicine to people in the street. In the past, there were many stone and wooden houses around here. Also, there were big trees in the village. The air was very fresh. |
Sandy: |
Did you have noise pollution from cars and trains? |
Mr.Hu: |
15 Yes, but not very serious. |
Sandy: |
I’ve heard that the food stalls were very famous here. Is it true? |
Mr.Hu: |
20 Yes. The food stalls sold very good snacks but they all moved. That's why it was easy to find mice here before. Everyone in the village was used to seeing mice. We weren’t surprised to see mice in the street at night. |
Sandy: |
That's terrible! |
Mr.Hu: |
25 We're glad that it has improved so much but I really miss everything here in the past. Many of my friends moved because the government gave them new flats in new towns. I sometimes feel lonely. Every time I see a chessboard, I think about them. |
Sandy: |
Mr.Hu, thank you so much for the information. Although the village has disappeared, it is still beautiful in your heart. |

查看习题详情和答案>>A famous study was done in a school by a professor (教授) from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average(中等),and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become top students?The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success,and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said,“Johnny,you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class,she met with Johnny after school and said,“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude(态度) toward children.
1.The professor started his research(研究)by _______.
A. teaching the five children himself
B. asking the five children to find a new teacher
C. telling the five students to work harder than ever before
D. telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class
2.The five average students became top students mainly because of ________.
A. the professor’s study
B. the teachers’ hard work
C. the change in the teachers’ attitude
D. the change in the professor’s attitude
3.Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?
A. To let us know how good his new teacher was.
B. To show the importance of encouragement.
C. To show that the boy was clever enough.
D. To let us know the famous boy.
4.The writer writes the passage mainly by ______.
A. giving reasons and result
B. giving result and examples
C. describing what he thinks
D. asking and answering questions
5.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. If you want to get more,you should have new teachers.
B. A professor’s study can help you score highest.
