【题目】 When Canadian teenager Ryan was six years old, his teacher told him that in many parts of Africa there was no clear water. She said that people often made themselves ill, and even died, just from drinking or bathing in dirty water.

What she said made Ryan upset. He decided to raise money for a well() so that people in Africa could have clean water. He did extra(额外的) chores for his parents and raised $70 all by himself. Then he found out that it actually cost $2,000 to dig a well.

Most people would have given up at this point, but not Ryan. He was disappointed, but determined to raise more money. Finally he collected over $2,000.That money was used to dig the first of “Ryan's wells”.

Since then, Ryan has continued to raise money for more wells. In fact, Ryan has raised over $1,500,000!

Ryan calls himself “a normal boy” and likes to play ice hockey when he’s not in school or traveling around the world talking to other students about himself and his work. As for the future, he has said that he isn’t exactly sure what he will choose to do. “Something along the lines of a lawyer or a teacher. Maybe a leader!”

【题目】 Life in 20 years will be very different from the life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?

The population will grow fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live much longer than people live now.

People will not take money with them when they go out. There will be a chip(芯片) in their body. All the information about the person will be put into the chip. You needn't pay cash(支付现金) or use a bank card when you buy things. You can just stand in front of a special electric machine to finish your payment.

Intelligent robots will be everywhere. You will have fewer things to do, because the robots will be able to do almost everything for you, even drive a car or sweep the floor. Maybe we’ll be much more relaxed then and have more free time.
