The idea may hit you once or twice a year. You come home on a hot summer day, hoping to have a cool bath, and find out there is no water. Then you see how important water is in your everyday life. However, in many parts of the world, water is not just about one’s everyday needs.

In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting water falls on women’s shoulders. Girls are often kept home from school to collect water while their brothers stay at school studying. Studies show Tanzanian girls who live 15 minutes from clean water spend 12% more time at school than those who live an hour away. More time spent collecting water means less time for learning. For these girls, “Knowledge is poweris not just words; it is a sad fact in real life. With less time spent at school, their chances of getting well-paid jobs are small, and they often have no voice in important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often married into poor families. They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children, who often end up dying young. For the baby girls who are lucky enough to live, their life may still center aroundwater,” just like it did for their mothers.

23.
What does The idea mean in the reading?
It is nice to have a cool bath on a hot summer day.
We should not take a bath when there is little water.
Water is not just about one’s everyday needs.
Water is important in one’s everyday life.
24.
What is the reading mostly about?
How water may give a country power.
Why it is hard to get water in poor countries.
Why it is important to save water.
How water may play a part in one’s future.
25.
What do we know from the reading?
Children in poor countries die from drinking dirty water every day.
Girls in countries like Tanzania are often paid less for the same job than the boys are.
Children from poor families are often kept from school to take care of younger children.
Girls who spend little time at school have a harder life when they grow up.
26.
Families in the countries of Benin, Ghana, Guinea and Madagascar deal with the job of water-collecting the same way Tanzanian families do. From the reading, which chart best shows the fact?

Gisele: My dad’s taking me to play the Dye-Out game this Saturday. He asked if you would like to come.

Opal: 30.

Gisele: It’s a popular game these days. The game is played by two teams and can be played inside or outside. You win the game by taking the other team’s castle orkillingall the players on the other team.

Opal: 31?

Gisele: You use balls filled with oil paint to attack the players on the other team. Their clothes will be covered with paint when they are hit by the balls. This way, they arekilledand have to leave the playground.

Opal: Sounds exciting.

Gisele: It is, but 32. For example, you have to buy the clothes, the balls, the masks, and many other things. Also, it can be dangerous sometimes.

Opal: Well, then I have to ask my parents first.

30.
But I’ve never heard of it before
I’d love to join you this Saturday
Your dad has already invited me
But I’m not good at it
31.
How do you take the castle
How do you know where the players are hiding
What do you do after youkilla player
What do you mean bykillinga player
32.
you need a big space for the game
your clothes will get dirty with the paint
it hurts when you get hit
it’s an expensive hobby

Here are the lyrics of a song.

Don’t Ask Him Why

by Tim Blair

He was afraid.
He was knocked on the head.
He was too little to know why Mom and Dad didn’t like him.
He was only five when he was sent to the hospital.

So don’t ask him why he did not cry for help
He was too little to answer the question.
He was too young to know he could ask for help.

Sometimes things go wrong in this world.
Still there must be something we can do
Something to give him hope and love.

So let’s do it. Do it. Do it.
Give him your hand.
Give him your love.
Only you and I can help him.

So don’t ask him why.
Never ever ask him why.

Englishman Robert Scott is known for leading two trips to Antarctica. The first one made him a star; the second 39.

After his first successful trip, Scott decided to be the first person to stand on the South Pole. However, 40. He would be in a race with Roald Amundsen, from Norway. Both left their countries by ship in June of 1910 and arrived in Antarctica in January of 1911.

About ten months later, both teams started their trips down to the South Pole. 41. Amundsen’s team used dogs, and Scott’s team used horses. Because horses weren’t good at traveling on snow, it took Scott’s team 77 days to arrive at the South Pole. They got there on January 17, 1912, and were surprised to find that Amundsen was ahead of them. The news hit Scott very hard, but what he didn’t know was that 42. His team began their long trip home with broken hearts. After days of terrible weather and little food, Scott lost his men one after another, and he himself was the last one to meet the end of his life. No one on his team lived to go back home and tell their story. It was only learned through Scott’s diary.

made his dream come true
opened his eyes
cost him his life
hurt his health
40.
he wasn’t the only one who had this dream
he wouldn’t let anyone else take his prize away
he couldn’t miss the chance to make his country proud
he didn’t want to take this trip with others
41.
And their ways of traveling decided which team would win
But Amundsen didn’t know better about animals than Scott
But there were problems to deal with before they traveled
And Scott used a popular way for his men to travel fast
42.
Amundsen had not been honest
there was still hope
no one ever believed him
the worst had not come yet
43.

I want to go out with Jennifer on New Year’s Day, but I’m not sure whether she wants to go out with me that day.
I need my key to open the door of my house, but I left my key at school.
I need to go to hospital, but there are no hospitals near my house.
I need some special experience to get this job, but I can’t get this kind of experience except from this job.
