Leo Walsh participated in the design of the minivan, a kind of vehicle, which revolutionized the way families travelled 40 years ago to generations of Americans.
After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in Engineering in 1956, Walsh was hired by Chrysler in Detroit. “That was the best decision I ever made, because if I’d gone to GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry,” Walsh said. The engineer proved his ability while making $485 a month. “I was the youngest chief engineer at Chrysler at that time,” Walsh recalled.
Walsh was approached by the manager in 1976 to design a vehicle unlike any other. Walsh’s team didn’t waste time. “We designed a prototype (原型) by cutting down the big vans,” Walsh explained. But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf collecting dust. “We kept proving that it was workable through the prototypes,” Walsh said. Then eight years later, Chrysler’s new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project. “He thought it was a product that needed to be on the market,” Walsh said. “It was decided to produce it in 1984.” With its extra cargo (货物) space and roominess for passengers, the Chrysler minivan was an instant hit. “It became the cash cow of Chrysler Corporation,” Walsh said.
After 32 years in Chrysler, Walsh retired in 1988 just four years after the first minivan was produced. “The world’s best minivans and that is true,” Walsh said. “It was a landmark vehicle.” 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the minivan, proving good ideas get good gas mileage. The 93-year-old doesn’t take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings high praises for his talented team.
Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I have got to say,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of my career. I am very fortunate to be there at the beginning.”
( )1.What can we infer about Walsh from Paragraph 2
A.He once had the idea of working for GM.
B.He wasn’t valued in the company initially.
C.He joined Chrysler to design the minivan.
D.He learnt engineering because he was poor.
( )2.What was the attitude of the CEOs before Lee Iacocca to Walsh’s prototype
A.Unclear. B.Approving.
C.Tolerant. D.Dismissive.
( )3.Which best describes Walsh as a team leader
A.Strict. B.Modest.
C.Ambitious. D.Humorous.
( )4.What can we learn from Walsh’s story
A.A winner is one with a great effort of will.
B.Gaining success helps you become an expert.
C.Your success comes from loving what you do.
D.Success means getting personal desires satisfied.

As the founder of the Global Water Policy Project and lead expert for National Geographic’s Freshwater Initiative, Sandra’s goal is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of the Earth’s freshwater resources.
Sandra says she grew up in New York as a Long Island beach kid. She was always aware of the “comfort, peace, and balance” offered by the natural world, especially the environments of wetlands and rivers. Before starting work on a project, Sandra considers an area’s “geography of water”: the amount of water in the area’s basin, the population, and the agricultural use of water. The geography of water helps Sandra determine an area’s water stress. Water stress is the situation where a community is using more water than nature made available.
Sandra first became aware of the concept of water stress after reading Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark’s book Water for a Starving World. This groundbreaking work linked water use, food and population. As Sandra began to understand water stress, she realized it affects everything, from a community’s development to its political security. “So many great civilizations developed alongside rivers and lakes,” she says, pointing to the ancient civilizations of Ur (between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), Egypt (which developed on the Nile), and the Indus River Valley.
Today, Sandra points out, more than 200 rivers are shared between two or more nations. Dams and other river management techniques implemented (实施) by nations upstream have a huge impact on nations downstream. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers have their sources in Turkey, for example, but their basins are in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. River management from Turkey would impact the fresh water available to these countries for drinking, hygiene, industry, and transportation.
Water management has become part of many nations’ foreign policy. Sandra points to the Mekong River Commission. The headwaters of the Mekong River are in China, although the basin is nearly 800,000 square kilometres and includes the nations of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Many governments are members of the Mekong River Commission, which promotes sustainable development of the water supply.
( )5.What did water mean to Sandra as a child
A.It represented a kind of spirit.
B.It caused stress to her life.
C.It brought many obstacles to her.
D.It offered a way for transportation.
( )6.What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A.Water stress was perfectly settled.
B.Water contributed much to the world culture.
C.Water had no impact on the steadiness of a nation.
D.Water crisis was recognized before Malin’s book.
( )7.What inspiration can we get from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
A.Upstream countries have priorities.
B.Every country has its policy for rivers.
C.Rivers across countries are decreasing.
D.Source governance of rivers is critical.
( )8.What’s the purpose of the author taking the Mekong River as an example
A.To show its importance to the locals.
B.To emphasize its great volume of flow.
C.To show the power of cooperation.
D.To tell its challenges to related nations.

Leo Walsh participated in the design of the minivan, a kind
of vehicle, which revolutionized the way families travelled 40
years ago to generations of Americans.
After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in
Engineering in 1956, Walsh was hired by Chrysler in Detroit.

“That was the best decision I ever made, because if I'd gone to
GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry,” Walsh said. The
engineer proved his ability while making $485 a month. “I was
the youngest chief engineer at Chrysler at that time,” Walsh
recalled.
Walsh was approached by the manager in 1976 to design a
vehicle unlike any other. Walsh's team didn't waste time. “We
designed a prototype (原型) by cutting down the big vans,”
Walsh explained. But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf

collecting dust. “We kept proving that it was workable through
the prototypes,” Walsh said. Then eight years later, Chrysler's
new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project. “He thought it
was a product that needed to be on the market,” Walsh said.
“It was decided to produce it in 1984.” With its extra cargo
(货物) space and roominess for passengers, the Chrysler minivan
was an instant hit. “It became the cash cow of Chrysler
Corporation,” Walsh said.

After 32 years in Chrysler, Walsh retired in 1988 just four
years after the first minivan was produced. “The world's best
minivans and that is true,” Walsh said. “It was a landmark
vehicle.” 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the minivan,
proving good ideas get good gas mileage. The 93-year-old
doesn't take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings
high praises for his talented team.
Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way
of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I

As the founder of the Global Water Policy Project and lead
expert for National Geographic's Freshwater Initiative, Sandra's
goal is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of the
Earth's freshwater resources.
Sandra says she grew up in New York as a Long Island
beach kid. She was always aware of the “comfort, peace, and
balance” offered by the natural world, especially the
1

environments of wetlands and rivers. Before starting work on a
project, Sandra considers an area's “geography of water”: the
amount of water in the area's basin, the population, and the
agricultural use of water. The geography of water helps Sandra
determine an area's water stress. Water stress is the situation
where a community is using more water than nature made
available.
Sandra first became aware of the concept of water stress
after reading Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark's book Water
1

3

for a Starving World. This groundbreaking work linked water
use, food and population. As Sandra began to understand water
stress, she realized it affects everything, from a community's
development to its political security. “So many great civilizations
developed alongside rivers and lakes,” she says, pointing to the
ancient civilizations of Ur (between the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers), Egypt (which developed on the Nile), and the Indus River
Valley.

Today, Sandra points out, more than 200 rivers are shared
between two or more nations. Dams and other river
management techniques implemented (实施) by nations
upstream have a huge impact on nations downstream. The
Tigris and Euphrates rivers have their sources in Turkey, for
example, but their basins are in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and
Syria. River management from Turkey would impact the fresh
water available to these countries for drinking, hygiene, industry,
and transportation.

Water management has become part of many nations'
foreign policy. Sandra points to the Mekong River Commission.
The headwaters of the Mekong River are in China, although the
basin is nearly 800,000 square kilometres and includes the
nations of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Many governments are members of the Mekong River
Commission, which promotes sustainable development of the
water supply.
