举一反三
I’d always dreamed of exploring Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan(《人猿泰山》)comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari(东非游猎)and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s minister of water and wildlife development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I toured the school, I was shocked. The leaky(漏的)roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit.
It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face.
I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.
It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country.

A.He was curious about what Africa was like.
B.He was concerned about the Africans’ miserable life.

D.He hoped to lead a movement that would transform his country.
小题2:After his tour to the school, the author found that the kids there were ________.
A.in need of help
B.not interested in studies
C.not used to the rainy season
D.in low spirits
小题3:What is the main purpose of Kids of Kilimanjaro?
A.To make sure the African kids are mentally healthy.
B.To spread knowledge among the African kids.
C.To build new schools for the African kids.
D.To protect the African kids from hunger.
小题4:What is the correct sequence of the following events?
a.“I” founded “my” first company.
b.“I” founded Kids of Kilimanjaro.
c.“I” read “my” first Tarzan comic.
d.“I” moved to San Francisco.
A.a, c, d, b

Dennis couldn’t 5 seeing the dog suffer. He and his men immediately treated the wound, and gave Nubs oral medicine. Nubs pulled through but was still 6. The next day, the team had to leave. Ten days later, Dennis’s unit was back and so was Nubs. He was still 7, but the men fed him and played with him.
Before long the unit once again 8 an outpost (前哨) 70 miles away. Nubs, slowly but 9 tracked them far into the trackless wasteland until the men lost 10 of him. Two days later, beyond Dennis’s 11, he saw Nubs just outside the outpost. The dog had 12 him across 70 miles of frozen desert to meet the friend who had saved his life. From then on Nubs and the men slept in the same place, and ran around in the same ruins.
Until a(n) 13 came down from above that they should not be allowed to have pets, Dennis decided to make sure the dog 14 continue to live the good life. So he quickly 15 $4,000 from his family and friends to fly Nubs to 16.
A month later, when Dennis and the dog were 17 in California, at first Nubs didn’t recognize the guy. 18 within seconds , the dog flew into Dennis’s arms, 19 up again and again to lick his friend’s face.
A little care and concern in the middle of war will not save a 20 world. But small stories, like the story of a soldier and a dog, hold a promise of a harmonious world.

It was the    9   sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song of a very small  10 . After the child stopped singing she explained to the lady, "My mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away, and she made me    11  to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me   12   ." "See," she exclaimed, "it did, and now my eyes are13 !" As the woman turned to go, the little girl grabbed her sleeve, "Madam, can you 14 a minute? I want to show you something." "Of course," she answered, "what do you want me to see?" Pointing to a spot on her dress, she said, "Right here is where my mommy   15  my dress, and here, "pointing to another spot, "and here is another kiss, and here, and here. Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my   16  so that I would have her kisses for every booboo (错误) that made me cry." Then the lady realized that she wasn"t just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a  17 who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the   18   that she knew her daughter would get. So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress that her child now so proudly 19  . She no longer saw a little girl in a    20   dress.
