For many kids in Africa， the colorful PlayPump(踏水車）is the first playground thing they have ever seen. When the children give it a push and jump in for their first ride， smiles of wonder appears on their faces.

The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. The wonderful invention doesn’t only change the kids’ play time， but also makes a big difference to the people’s lives.

As the merry-go-round starts， it pumps(泵送）clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank(桶）. 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 people could drink clean water. They don’t 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 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 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 easier-----and even boys join in. The pumps have become a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water.

A boy named Khumalo， twelve years old， says， “ I have seen many kinds of water pumps， but have never seen one that can keep water. When I grow up， I want to be an inventor so I can also invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country.”

So far， more than 800 PlayPumps are being operated in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries， providing water for almost two million people.

1.To get water from a PlayPump， people need to ______________.

A. walk for a long way B. push it first

C. make it in a circle D. use a big tank

2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to____________

A. pump B. merry-go-round

C. PlayPump D. underground

3.For Patricia Molope， getting water used to be hard because____________

A. She didn’t know how to use a PlayPump.

B. She had no money to pay a taxi driver.

C. The only place to get water was far away from home.

D. There was not enough water in the well.

4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about PlayPump?

A. People need to pay for the clean water from PlayPump.

B. Both children and parents enjoy the ride on PlayPump.

C. PlayPump makes the life of the Africans much easier.

D. About two million Africans are using the water from PlayPump.

5.What is the main idea of the story?

A. PlayPump can bring people together.

B. PlayPump helps turn work into play.

C. Every country in the world is thirsty.

D. PlayPump is a great invention in the world.

閱讀下面的短文，并完成短文后的任務。

Playing is serous business for children. In fact， it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it， and kids will probably say， “Because it’s fun!” But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.

78）Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight(視覺).

When small children choose which toy to play with， they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.

Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.

Crayons， paints and Play-Doh (彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to crate. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.

79）Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. Many valuable(有價值的) lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share， take turns and play by the rules.

_________________________________________________________.

2.What kind of toys do children love?

Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other. Here’s a simple test. Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o’clock. What time should you expect your foreign business friends to arrive? If they are Germans, they’ll arrive on time. If they are Americans, they’ll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Englishmen, they’ll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.

Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and they don’t drink at lunchtime. The Germans like to talk business before dinner. The French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.
