【改编自人教选必四U4】
Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world, helping other countries to develop. We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in
Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka. And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics, and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world. And some people may ask, “Is it worth it Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development？”
I had the same questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. You see, my mother is a medical doctor, and for the last two years, she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government.
To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset. My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me. But more importantly, she was my best friend. We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart. So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input.
But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune. Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania. And, while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted，such as electricity, running water, cars and good transport systems, and supermarkets.
1．What can we see Chinese people doing on TV in far-off places

Steve Iseman and Jim Redmond started their bike tour on June
25, 2022, in Victoria, British Columbia.They are receiving support and help on the way by friends Mike and Loghrin and his wife Darlene.
Iseman and Redmond were both fit before they were diagnosed (诊断) with early Parkinson's disease and decided to keep active and push themselves.This is the message they wish to convey to those
100，000 Canadians who have also been diagnosed.
Nine out of ten Canadians with Parkinson's are short of support and live in silence and alone.As the number of those diagnosed is increasing each year, this brave team wants to give these people confidence.On August 2, the riders were in Thunder Bay, Ontario, over halfway through their three-month ride.They are being interviewed by local news stations and podcasters (播客) along the way, hoping to get the word out and to raise money for research.
Both Iseman and Redmond had to work hard to feel happiness on the bike.“When I got on a bike it was like lightning struck.Although I was not fast, I felt like I was fast and, more importantly, I felt free，” Redmond explained.
This two Canadians want to inspire others to do the same.To ride with Parkinson's, people may have to make a few changes, but the rewards are boundless, being great for mind, body, and feelings.“I can now cycle again.I go as fast as I can, play in the wind, conquer hills, and race with no finish line.The joy is back，” said Iseman.

(2024·武汉武钢三中高一检测)When you buy something for yourself, you probably spend hours shopping around for the best deal on the highest quality product.Some of you may even desire to know how a brand operates as a company.However, when we donate money to one of the countless charities out there, most of us don't conduct
such research.We have absolutely no idea about where that money goes, what it buys or who it helps.At least that is the case for the majority of charities.Perhaps you should start to take a greater interest in the winding path that your charitable donations take, because many of them may lead to dead ends.
You really should ask the question: will my donation to this charity actually help the people or cause Sometimes it makes matters worse.For example, many charities help African people install water pumps to deliver clean water to their communities.Money has been invested over the past 20 years to install a total of 60，000 pumps across Sub-Saharan Africa.However, today 40% of those have failed to work at some point.They have been left there, like expensive but useless decorations.
One of the least effective means of giving is when charity sends endless shipping containers full of material goods to underdeveloped nations.For instance, Kenya imports more than 100，000 tons of clothes from global charities each year.The issue is that these mountains of regularly imported clothes have completely destroyed local textile industries, which have previously supported local economies.
Ultimately, to whom and how much you give is your choice.It is important to provide highly specialized services instead of material goods.As a general rule of thumb, the more your donation matches the need of the receivers, the better it will be for the long-term prosperity of those you want to help.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了慈善捐助应该符合被捐赠者的需要，这样才算是真正有帮助的捐助。
5．What do most people do when they donate
A．They keep track of their donations.
B．They neglect the process of charities.
C．They select products of highest quality.
D．They do research on application of funds.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We have absolutely no idea about...for the majority of charities.”可知，许多人捐款的时候并不知道捐的钱去了哪里，买了什么，帮助了谁等这些问题，即忽视了慈善的过程。

6．Why is the example of water pumps mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To stress effective giving.
B．To illustrate a fault investment.
C．To confirm a charitable failure.
D．To complain the pumps' quality.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“You really should ask the question...Sometimes it makes matters worse.”可知，慈善机构的捐款有时会让事情变得更糟，由此可推知，下文列举了慈善机构帮助非洲安装水泵的例子，是为了证实有些慈善捐款是失败的。

Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world, helping other countries to develop. We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in
Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka. And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics, and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world. And some people may ask, “Is it worth it Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development？”
I had the same questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. You see, my mother is a medical doctor, and for the last two years, she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government.
To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset. My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me. But more importantly, she was my best friend. We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart. So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input.
But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune. Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania. And, while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted，such as electricity, running water, cars and good transport systems, and supermarkets.

(2024·武汉武钢三中高一检测)When you buy something for yourself, you probably spend hours shopping around for the best deal on the highest quality product.Some of you may even desire to know how a brand operates as a company.However, when we donate money to one of the countless charities out there, most of us don't conduct
such research.We have absolutely no idea about where that money goes, what it buys or who it helps.At least that is the case for the majority of charities.Perhaps you should start to take a greater interest in the winding path that your charitable donations take, because many of them may lead to dead ends.
You really should ask the question: will my donation to this charity actually help the people or cause Sometimes it makes matters worse.For example, many charities help African people install water pumps to deliver clean water to their communities.Money has been invested over the past 20 years to install a total of 60，000 pumps across Sub-Saharan Africa.However, today 40% of those have failed to work at some point.They have been left there, like expensive but useless decorations.
One of the least effective means of giving is when charity sends endless shipping containers full of material goods to underdeveloped nations.For instance, Kenya imports more than 100，000 tons of clothes from global charities each year.The issue is that these mountains of regularly imported clothes have completely destroyed local textile industries, which have previously supported local economies.
Ultimately, to whom and how much you give is your choice.It is important to provide highly specialized services instead of material goods.As a general rule of thumb, the more your donation matches the need of the receivers, the better it will be for the long-term prosperity of those you want to help.
