Ryan Hrejac is a kid who is 15 and lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America, and India might never have been built. He travels the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: the need of safe drinking water in many developing countries.

“Everybody can do something,” Ryan says.

Ryan's efforts didn't begin in a far-off place, though, but right at home in Kemptvlle, Ontario. In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned from his teacher that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. His teacher said that some of the children even died from drinking bad water.

So Ryan decided to take action. He did housework for his parents and for neighbors to make some money. He spoke to schools, churches, clubs about his idea. The word spread, and donations（捐献）began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $2, 000, enough to dig one well.

An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief（CPAR）chose a place for the well in the village of Agweo, in Uganda, eastern Africa.

After the first well was built, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan said, “and one goal led to another.”

He founded Ryan's Well Foundation（基金会）four years ago to educate people about the importance of water and help more people get clean water with others' help. Now the foundation has raised more than $1.5 million and built 255 wells that could serve more than 427,000 people in 12 countries.

Its website lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the honors he has received.

Ryan isn't bragging（吹噓）. “The best people I've met are the other kids who want to help, too.” he said. “The only reason I accept honors is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.”

24. What problem does Ryan want to solve?

A. The poor condition of schools.

B. The influence of war on children.

C. The illness caused by pollution.

D. The need of safe drinking water.

25. Ryan himself raised money by ________.

A. starting a website to get donations

B. creating an educational organization

C. doing housework and introducing his idea

D. travelling to a village across the world

26 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. An Organization of Saving Water

B. A Goal to Help African People

C. A Boy Who Makes a Difference

D. A Well That Brought People Together

C

We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G technology might change our lives in the future. 5G promises internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than the present 4G systems. The technology is also built to deal with many more users without slowing services down. Such improvements are sure to be popular for 5G users worldwide.

While 5G is set to start in some limited areas of the United States this year, much of the rest of the world is not expected to receive such service widely until 2023.

One project called 5G Rural First in Britain, though, is already testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of internet users-cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate（自动化）the milking process.

Testing areas are set up at farms in three countries of England. The cows are fitted with 5G devices（装置）that connect to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors（传感器）and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each cow. It then sets machine to the right height for milking. During the process, machines give food to the cow in return.

In one of the test areas, about 50 of the farm's 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart devices and health-watching sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors allow farmers to immediately discover any problems such as health problems.

Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that turn on when the cow touches them. Sensors also control the supply of light in the cows' living areas depending on the weather. And an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.

Nick Chrissos works on the project. He said the system can connect every cow, and every other animal on the whole farm. “That's what 5G can do for farming—really free the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.”

27. What's Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. How the system automates the milking process.

B. How the technology knows when to milk cows.

C. How the designers connect 5G devices to cows.

D. How the testing areas were set up in the countries.

28. According to the passage, 5G smart farms _________.

A. effect huge changes on the animals

B. improve the cow operations in many ways

C. make the internet speed slow down greatly

D. test the technology on both cows and people

29. What's Nick Chrissos' attitude towards the 5G technology?

A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Doubtful.

D

Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping（形成模式化观念）.

A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not.

One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing（i.e. thinking）we have to do when we meet a new person.

Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true.

When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls.

Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors.

30. The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________.

A. boys and girls prefer different toys

B. boys and girls are treated unfairly

C. people sometimes mix children's likes

D. people have fixed ideas on things

31. Which of the following stereotypes is useful?

A. Making friends by his appearance.

B. Boys do better in science than girls.

C. Youth easily do unreasonable things.

D. Red signs on the road warn us of danger.

32. The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.

A. fail to notice B. fail to trust C. fail to search D. fail to face

33. What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping?

A. Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides.

B. It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations.

C. Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard.

D. Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes.

四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。

In England, people buy bus tickets on the bus. In France, they buy them at a bus station. In Australia, they can buy them from a magazine store. Books on cross-cultural communication make us curious by focusing on differences between people across the world: in social behavior and the importance of their body language, etc.

For example, how close you stand to someone when you are speaking to him is different in different cultures. Surveys in most countries tell us that the proper distance（距离）of two people standing in a social situation is between 1. 2 metres and 3.5 metres. But in China, this distance seems to be smaller, while in Sweden, people usually stand farther.

The message sent by the way you stand or sit is another condition. For example, it is quite common in European countries to sit with your legs crossed. But people in Arab countries hardly ever sit in this way—because they might show you the bottom of their shoes, and it is thought to be impolite.

Such information fills the pages of guides for travellers and international business people. Clearly it is important to know a little about eating customs and the rules about basic greetings—whether you should bow or shake someone's hands. But under the surface, we are not so different. There are many signs that are common in the emotions（情感）that they communicate.

Smiling is the best known of these, but not the only one. Scientists have proven that all over the world, people show sadness in a similar way. People look down with their face “falling” and mouth corner turning down. There are also common factors when people are bored. They will look at other things in an distracted（漫不经心的） way--their watches, for example. Their feet will begin to move restlessly showing that they want to escape.

Understanding these body languages and acting properly is the real key to cross-cultural communication. If we all pay just a little attention, it is impossible that we will cause lasting inconvenience by using the wrong body language or standing too near to strangers and then make them feel uncomfortable.

34. Where do people in England buy bus tickets?

35. What is the proper distance of two people standing in most countries?

36. Why do people in Arab countries hardly sit with their legs crossed?

37. How do people around the world show sadness in a similar way?

38. What is the passage mainly about?
