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 p

15、eople could drink clean water. They dont 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

16、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

17、 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 easierand even boys join in.

She reached into her change pu

23、rse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act(举动) would change their lives. Sarah didnt realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier un

24、til the next morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, but also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had. Bill Kre

25、jci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet. That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is

26、 generous instead of living in the streets. And thats not all thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years.

30、 in life. Four out of ten babies born in the United States do not form a strong relationship with either parent, and they will pay for that in the rest of their lives.New research from Princeton University confirms what other researchers have already found: the number of babies who are lack of the c

31、lose relationship is rather big, which prevents them having a fair chance of having a successful life.That finding is supported by many other research projects, including a study from the University of Rochester showing that nearly one third of US parents dont know what to expect from their newborns

32、, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. Babies, as others have pointed out, dont come with an owners guide book.The basic problem, according to the Princetons study, is that 40 per cent of babies in the US live in fear or distrust of their parents, and that will turn into agg

33、ressiveness (侵犯), defiance (违抗) and hyperactivity (多动) as they grow into adults.Of that number, 25 per cent dont have a close relationship with their parents because the parents dont satisfy their needs. And 15 per cent find their parents are so troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible.

34、That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence, but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.“They can overcome(克服) it,” sociologist Sophie Moullin of Princeton, the leader of that study, said in a telephone interview. “Its not a make-or-break situation, but they might f

35、ind it harder to control their behaviour.”Moullin, alongwithhis teammates from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England, studied more than 100 research projects, to reach their conclusions.Many reasons lead to the problem, including poverty(贫穷), ignorance(无知), and stress among pa

36、rents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can deal with.Yet strong relationships, the researchers say, are amazingly simple to achieve.1According to the writing style of the passage, it may be a_.Anews reportBbook reportCnovelDreview2Which of the foll

39、p strong relationships with a baby.4Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AIts harder to control childrens behaviourBWhat a little love means to a little oneCThe problems of the parents in the United StatesDThe problems of the babies in the United StatesD16、We all long for frie
