And they go to a lot of places，all around the world.And not only do they travel a lot，but they perform with some superstar singers and celebrities (名 2 人) for heads of state.But this is not what makes the choir so special. Like New Yorks PS22， they do not just sing，but truly put their hearts，souls and bodies into their words.But what is unique about the choir is that it offers hope，education and confidence to children who live in extreme poverty.For example，the kids in the choir are mostly from the poorest countries in the world，such as Uganda.Many children live in oneroom homes and walk more than 2 miles to get water for their family.Most of the children have lost one or both of their parents because of wars or diseases. Through its music and education，the African Childrens Choir changes the lives of its children.It allows them to see the world.It gives them hope and confidence.It shows them that everything is possible.The choir even pays for their education through college.In 30 years，it has educated and changed the lives of over 50,000 children. And，in turn，the children return to their hometowns with new thoughts and new skills to help improve their family and community.These children are truly helping to build a better Africa. 语篇解读 本文是说明文，话题是励志教育类。非洲儿童合唱团由非洲一些贫困儿童 组成，他们给听众带来希望和信心，他们自己的命运也得到了改变。 1What can we learn about the members of the African Childrens Choir?

Before the invention of planes，travelers arrived by boat and got quite a greeting：hula dancers，a band，photographers and，of course，lei givers.In modern times，tourists are met by a smiling local who places the lei around their shoulders and kisses them on the face.The latter，by the way，is a mainland custom；Hawaiians prefer to touch their noses or breathe a sigh on each others face，called a “ha.” Hawaiians give leis to each other for special occasions，like 4 graduations，birthdays，weddings and other holidays.Pleasant ginger flowers in either while or yellow are most frequently used to celebrate these occasions，with a few exceptions.For weddings，the bride (新娘) wears a lei made primarily of pikake with small decorative additions (附加物) of maile，a vinelike flower.The lei worn by the groom (新郎) is the opposite；its primarily made of maile with small additions of pikake.Each member of the rest of the wedding party wears a different lei.Interestingly，the grooms lei is open，like a scarf，while the brides is closed. Usually，pregnant (怀孕的) women shouldnt be given a closed lei，as its believed to bring bad luck to the newborn.The lei of welcome shouldnt be given to sick people because frangipani grows wild in the places where dead people are buried.The hala lei is believed by some to only be given at the end of a venture (a new business activity)，not the start.Besides，when you wear a lei，you should never take it off in front of the giver，as its seen as very impolite. 语篇解读 本文是说明文。绚烂芬芳的夏威夷花环不仅仅用来迎接客人，而且还有很 多其它用途。 5In the beginning，leis were used to honor_.
