23、Below is some advice given by the English children on how to help Africa. Who do you agree with?

I think being healthy is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.

---Robin, aged 16, Birmingham

I think the most important thing is to improve the education in the African countries. There is an old saying, “ If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you’ll feed them for lifetime.” We need to help people to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.

---Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool

People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster like the earthquake. It’s good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their money to charity. If everyone does that, it will make a big difference.

---Mary, aged 14, Stratford

Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.

---Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle

The best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.

---Robert, aged 16, Cardiff

【1】Which two children have the similar ideas?

A.Mary and Rebecca. B.Bethany and Mary.

C.Rebecca and Robert. D.Rebecca and Bethany.

【2】What does Rebecca mean by saying “ We need to help people to help themselves”?

A.We should help the teachers in Africa to improve their teaching methods.

B.We should help people in Africa how to build a good government.

C.We should help the African people develop skills to make a living.

D.We should help the African people build more schools.

【3】Where can you possibly find the advice?

A.In a travel guide. B.On a website.

C.In a student’s textbook. D.In a sports magazine.

24、Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the color of dust. She did not like her ugly color. She was attracted by the color of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the color of that beautiful lake very much.

Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.

Now Coyote was a trickster (骗子) —and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended (伪装) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.

Convinced (确信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped (滑到) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes has the dull color of dust to this very day.

【1】How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?

A．Three times.

B．Four times.

C．Five times.

D．Six times.

【2】Why was Coyote a trickster?

B．He wanted to eat B1uebird but pretended to be curious.

C．He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.

D．He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.

【3】Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?

A．To the lake.

B．To the tree.

C．To the cave.

D．To the hill.

【4】Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?

A．Because his fur had the dull color of dust.

B．Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.

C．Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.

D．Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.

【5】What words does the writer use to help you imagine the color blue?

A．Sky, lake, mountains.

B．Bird, coyote, storm.

C．Flapped, climbed, bathed.

D．Fur, feathers, dust.
