24、 For many kids in Africa， the colorful PlayPump(踏水车）is the first playground thing they have ever seen. When the children give it a push and jump in for their first ride， smiles of wonder appears on their faces.

The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. The wonderful invention doesn’t only change the kids’ play time， but also makes a big difference to the people’s lives.

As the merry-go-round starts， it pumps(泵送）clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank(桶）. People are welcomed to come and help themselves to get the water for free. They are very happy these days.

In the countryside of Africa， very few people could drink clean water. They don’t have machines that can get water in their homes. Instead， they often walk a long way to carry water back.

Patricia Molope， a fifteen-year-old girl， explains that before her village in South Africa got a PlayPump， people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes. “ Sometimes the taxi drivers were so busy that we would have to stop taking showers in order to save water. It was so far to walk there， but at present we have our own clean water in the village， and the life is better， too.”

The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls. Carrying water for miles and hours each day is such a heavy job that it sometimes prevents girls from being able to go to school.

Thanks to the PlayPump， getting water is quicker and easier-----and even boys join in. The pumps have become a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water.

A boy named Khumalo， twelve years old， says， “ I have seen many kinds of water pumps， but have never seen one that can keep water. When I grow up， I want to be an inventor so I can also invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country.”

So far， more than 800 PlayPumps are being operated in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries， providing water for almost two million people.

【1】To get water from a PlayPump， people need to ______________.

A. walk for a long way B. push it first

C. make it in a circle   D. use a big tank

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to____________

A. pump     B. merry-go-round

C. PlayPump   D. underground

【3】For Patricia Molope， getting water used to be hard because____________

A. She didn’t know how to use a PlayPump.

B. She had no money to pay a taxi driver.

C. The only place to get water was far away from home.

D. There was not enough water in the well.

【4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE about PlayPump?

A. People need to pay for the clean water from PlayPump.

B. Both children and parents enjoy the ride on PlayPump.

C. PlayPump makes the life of the Africans much easier.

D. About two million Africans are using the water from PlayPump.

【5】What is the main idea of the story?

A. PlayPump can bring people together.

B. PlayPump helps turn work into play.

C. Every country in the world is thirsty.

D. PlayPump is a great invention in the world.

One day， Miss White’s voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve! Listen carefully!” Steve turned to look at her， fixing his eyes on Miss White， as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You all did pretty well，” she told the class， “except for one boy， and it breaks my heart to tell you this， but...” She hesitated， her eyes searching his face. “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!” She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes.

“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly， Steve got it! Someone cared about him! Steve went home from school， thoughtful， that afternoon. Walking into the house， both parents were out. He， quickly， gathered up a jar of peanut butter， a loaf of bread， a bottle of water， and this time...his schoolbooks.

27、Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self­driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

【1】According to the text, living in a “smart” city ______________.

A. is not a green way B. will be far from you

C. will soon become true D. is completely impossible

A. Cisco. B. IBM. C. Siemens. D. Microsoft.

Leaving your mark in the world

Einstein is a world-famous scientist. In 1899, he studied at a famous university in Zurich (苏黎世). His teacher was rofessor Minkevsky.

Once Einstein asked Minkevsky, “How can a person, like me, leave his clear footprints on the road ofs【1】 and make a great contribution?” Minkevsky said that it was a “complicated”(复杂的) problem and he had to give him an a【2】 later.

Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was coming! B【3】 he didn’t say anything. They walked toward a building site. He asked Einstein to set foot on a concrete (混凝土) road that the workers had just f【4】.

All the workers shouted at him. Einstein was very confused(困惑的). “Sir, are you leading me the w【5】 way?” he asked.

“Think a【6】it,” Minkevsky said. “Can’t you see? Only the new concrete road surface can l【7】 deep footprints. The old road surface has been hard for a long time. Many people leave steps on the old road. You cannot find your footprint there.” Hearing that, Einstein thought for a long time and nodded.

After that, a very strong sense of innovation(创新) b【8】 to guide Einstein’s thinking and action. He tried again and again to discover new theories(理论). Nobody could tell him what to do. N【9】 book could guide him. But he said, “I never remember what dictionaries carry. My brain only remembers those things that are not i【10】 in books.” It was because of this that Einstein left his shining footprints in the history of science.
