(共103张PPT)
主题语境：公益事业与志愿服务
However，not everything lived up to① Zhang Tian's hopes.The school was much smaller than he had expected，with only three classrooms.In front of the classrooms，there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days.[1] Living in the village was also more challenging② than he had thought.The power and water supplies③ were unstable，so he could only shower every three or four days，and he had to learn how to cook.The thought of leaving once flashed④ through his mind，but he quickly gave up on the idea and found ways to deal with⑤ the challenges.[2]
The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher.The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese.To make school life healthier and livelier for his students，Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the school—music，art and PE.It is not surprising that PE is the kids' favourite subject！Their school lives are now more attractive and interesting，and they enjoy playing football in the playground，as well as⑥ singing songs they've learnt.The school is now full of laughter and music.Zhang Tian is planning to organise the first-ever school concert！Everyone is very excited.

The Well That Changed the World
1 As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy，Ryan had trouble① believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn't get enough clean water[1].He looked across② the classroom at the drinking fountain③.It was very close—only ten steps away.So，Ryan asked himself，“Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every day？And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick？”[2]Young Ryan thought，“Life is easy for me，but hard for those people.Why don't I help？”
[1]spoken by his teacher是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰the words，相当于which were spoken by his teacher。that引导同位语从句，解释the words的具体内容。
[2]本句包含了“so...that...”引导的结果状语从句；makes them sick为“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。

②look across (强调从一边看到另一边)眺望；往对面看

2 At first，his plan was to earn money④to build a single well somewhere in Africa[3].He cleaned windows and did gardening⑤for his family and neighbours.He soon reached his first target⑥of $70，but when he gave the money to a charity，he was told that it actually cost $2，000 to build a well[4].Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump.Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn't help the children.What they needed[5]was a well dug near their homes[6].
[3]动词不定式短语作表语，其中“to build a...Africa”为动词不定式短语作目的状语。
[4]“it costs (sb) some money to do sth”句式，意为“做某事花费(某人)……钱”。

④earn money 挣钱
earn/ n/v.挣(钱)
⑤do gardening 做园艺；做园艺工作

3 Two thousand dollars was a lot of money[7]，but Ryan didn't give up.He was determined to⑦ help other children have clean water.He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to⑧ donate⑨ money.At the same time，a friend of Ryan's mother helped make his story go public⑩[8].After several months，Ryan had raised the $2，000，with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda[9].The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water.They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
[7]表示时间、距离、长度、价值、金额、重量等的可数名词复数作主语时，常被看作整体，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。

4 In Uganda，Ryan at last saw the finished well[10] with his own eyes.But that was not all.He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him.They sang and danced happily.Some even offered him food and gifts.At first Ryan was nervous，but soon a great warmth filled him.He really had made a difference for these children.He broke into a joyful smile .
[10]过去分词finished作前置定语，修饰well。
delighted adj.高兴的，愉快的，快乐的
turn out 出席，在场
break into a smile 突然笑起来
break into...突然开始……
5 Later，Ryan's experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help[11].Many inspired people gave him their support.Ryan's foundation continues to attract support from more and more people，so the work of building more wells can go on .Today，over 800，000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean，safe water.

6 Now，as an adult，Ryan says that the question to ask[12]is not “Why don't I help？”，but “How can I help today？”.This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality .
[12]动词不定式作后置定语，修饰the question。

【参考译文】
改变世界的井
1 年仅六岁的加拿大男学生瑞安难以相信他的老师说的话——在欠发达的非洲国家，许多人都喝不到足够的干净的水。瑞安的目光掠过教室，望向喷泉式饮水器。它是那么近——只有十步远。因此，瑞安问自己：“为什么有的非洲孩子每天不得不步行十公里去取水？为什么水会那么脏，以至于他们喝了会生病？”年幼的瑞安想：“我的生活很舒适，可他们的生活却很艰难，我为什么不去帮助他们呢？”
2 起初，他的计划是挣些钱在非洲某个地方建一口单井。通过帮助家人和邻居擦玻璃、做园艺，他很快就达成了他的第一个目标——挣了70美元。但当他把这笔钱交给慈善机构时，却被告知建一口井实际上要花费2 000美元。70美元只够买一个手摇泵。瑞安明白，一个手摇泵无法帮到(非洲的)孩子们，他们需要的是在离家不远处打一口井。
3 两千美元可是一大笔钱，但是瑞安没有放弃。他下定决心要帮助其他孩子获得干净的水。他开始向他的同班同学和邻居求助，劝说他们捐款。与此同时，瑞安妈妈的一位朋友帮忙将他的事迹公之于众。几个月后，瑞安筹到了2 000美元，用这笔钱在乌干达的一所小学旁边建了一口井。这所学校的孩子们再也不用走几小时的路去打水了。他们非常感激瑞安，邀请他前来参观。
4 在乌干达，瑞安终于亲眼见到了已经完工的井。但是不仅如此，他还看到了几百名兴高采烈的学生出来迎接他。他们高兴地又唱又跳，有的学生甚至为他送上了食物和礼物。刚开始瑞安还很紧张，但很快一股暖流涌上了他的心头。他真的改变了这些孩子的生活。他的脸上露出了愉快的笑容。
5 后来，这段经历促使瑞安建立了一个基金会，以鼓励更多的人伸出援手。许多深受鼓舞的人都向他提供支持。瑞安的基金会不断吸引着越来越多的人给予帮助，从而使建造更多水井的工作能够继续。今天，这份能改变人一生的礼物——干净、卫生的水——已经惠及了非洲16个国家的80多万人。
6 如今，瑞安已长大成人，他说现在的问题不是“我为什么不去帮助他们？”，而是“如今我该如何去帮助他们？”。这份领悟，始于一个有勇气和毅力实现梦想的六岁男孩那颗坚定不移的心。

Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
A
Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，while others think that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying.But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper，has made a northern German city believe in fairytales.
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group.It contained 10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名的) envelopes，each containing 10，000，then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming，and so far at least 190，000 has been distributed.Last month，one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office.It came after a story it published about Tom，a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident.The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside，with a copy of the article.The name of the family was underlined.
“I was driving when I heard the news，” Claudia Neumann，the boy's mother，told Der Spiegel.“I had to park on the side of the road.I was speechless.”
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
“For someone to act so selflessly，for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself，was astonishing，” Mrs Neumann said.Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character，taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung，said，“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die.We just do not know.” However，he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero，for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

People who give，live longer，studies have shown.Now，a new study by University of Michigan shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.
For the study，Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3，376 people.Overall，they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died，compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers.They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died，compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.
But what really made a difference were people's motives for volunteering.The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering，and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need，the more likely they were to be alive.Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died，and just as likely to die as those who didn't volunteer at all.These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact，to escape their own problems，or to explore their own strengths.
Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it's good for them.“Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations.Some groups say that it's okay to want benefits for yourself，and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests.Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added，“Of course，it's reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves.But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person's main motive.”
