　　Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate (交流) with words. Books, magazines, TV and radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

　　Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”, you nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.

　　Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the sea and many other things.

(1) Which of the following is NOT true?

[　　]

A．It is most popular way for man to communicate with words.

B．Words are the only way for man to communicate.

C．Using radio is one of the ways for man to communicate.

“I thirst”

　　Each day waterrelated diseases killed 3, 900 of the world’s children

　　Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water．More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation．(衛(wèi)生設(shè)備)

　　The combination proves deadly．Each year, diseases related to inadequate(不適當(dāng)?shù)?water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world．Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty．

　　Consider these facts：

　　●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers．

　　●Only 58 percent of children in subSaharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet．

　　●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to waterborne diseases．

　　Here are three ways you can help：

　　(1)Write Congress

　　Current(當(dāng)前的)U．S．foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen．Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad．

　　(2)Sponsor(贊助)a project with a faithbased organization

　　Many U．S．religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad．Simply put a single project by a U．S．organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people．

　　(3)Support nonprofit water organizations

　　Numerous U．S．based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in communityled projects related to drinking water and sanitation．Like the sample of nonprofits noted as follows：some organizations are large, other smallscale, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America．Support them generously．

(1)

The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate(舉例說明)that _________．

[　　]

A．

poverty can result in waterborne diseases

B．

people have no access to clean drinking water

C．

women’s rights are denied(拒絕)in some developing countries

D．

safe drinking water should be a primary concern

(2)

The intended readers of the passage are _________．

[　　]

A．

Americans

B．

overseas sponsors

C．

Congressmen

D．

U．S．based water organizations

(3)

The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to _________．

[　　]

A．

get rid of waterrelated diseases in developing countries

B．

donate money to people short of water through religious groups

C．

fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problem

D．

take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations

Nelson Mandela

　　Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time．His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(種族)oppression(壓迫)in his country won him the admiration(欽慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize．As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反種族隔離)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule．

　　Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊嚴(yán))and hope．He’s a man of true courage．If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition．

　　accomplishments(成就)& fame(名譽)

　　Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president．He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(聲望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W．de Klerk, in 1993．

　　He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F．W．de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002．

　　Mr．Mandela also received dozens of honorary degrees(名譽學(xué)位)from universities the world over, including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, and Oxford, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from the Sorbonne University in Paris(all in July 1996), and Harvard Business School’s Statesman of the Year Award in 1995－to name but a few．He has also been presented(贈送)with the key to cities such as Rome, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dublin, and Sydney, Australia(where he became the first person ever to receive the Freedom of that city)．In July of 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian(公民)award．

　　Model

　　There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society．Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被壓迫者)over the oppressor．He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages．One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A．K．A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984．

　　Personal style

　　As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服飾)of high-ranking government officials： expensive, well-tailored(縫制精致的)suits．Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way．

　　He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(長袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins．

(1)

Mandel was not only admired(欽慕)for his long fight against ________but also for ________．

(2)

How many peaceful prize has Mandela got?He has got________ in 1991, ________in 1995 and ________ in 2002．

WILD WEATHERMAN

　　Name：Sam Champion

　　Hot job：TV Weatherman

　　Where：WABC-TV, New York City

　　When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?

　　I wanted to be a foreign journalist．I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news．

　　How did you finally become a weatherman?

　　My first job in the early 80’s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky．I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news．I put together weather forecasts, and became interested in them．

　　Back then, how did you forecast weather?

　　Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain．The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm．

　　Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?

　　Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar(sound waves used to track storms)have made forecasting more exact．But we still know very little about how weather is shaped．So far, we just have theories．

　　Any advice for children who’d like to become weather scientists?

　　To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world．There are still so many more questions about weather than answers．After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we?Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems．The next generation of meteorologists(weather scientists)will unlock many of Earth’s weather secrets．So get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology(weather science)in college．

　　Thanks, Sam．
