Thanksgiving Day is always on a Thursday. 1._______________. It is the start of the holiday shopping season， and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.

Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors very early in the morning and try to attract shoppers with low prices. Some things like TVs and clothes are much cheaper than usual. 2.________________. They hope that shoppers will buy more gifts while they are in the store.

Black Friday is a great time for shopping. However， there are problems. 3.________________. Each store has only a few， so the goods are in great need and people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three or four hours before a store opens， but not everyone can get one. Some people leave， disappointed.

This situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have been hurt by large crowd. 4.____________. Still， if you want to go， you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.

So where does the name “Black Friday” come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s， stores tried to change the name into “Big Friday”. It didn’t stick. The name “ Black Friday” continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay. 5.____________. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK， Australia， and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico， stores offer a weekend of low price every year. They call it “ El Buen Fin”， which means “the good weekend” in Spanish. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.

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

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?

B. PlayPump helps turn work into play.

C. Every country in the world is thirsty.
