When Canadian teenager Ryan was six years old, his teacher told him that many parts of Africa, there was no clean water. She said that people often made themselves ill, and even died, just from drinking or bathing in dirty water.

What she said made Ryan upset. He decided to raise money for a well(井) so that people in Africa could have clean water. He did extra chores for his parents and raised $ 70 all by himself. Then he found out that it actually cost $2,000 to dig a well.

Most people would have given up at this point, but not Ryan. He was disappointed, but determined to rise more money. Finally he collected over S 2,000. That money was used to dig the first of "Ryan’s wells".

Since then, Ryan has continued to raise money for more wells. In fact, Ryan has raised over $1,500,000!

Ryan calls himself “a normal boy" and likes to play ice hockey when he's not in school or travelling around the world talking to other students about himself and his work. As for the future, he has said that he isn't exactly sure what he will choose to do. "Something along the lines of a lawyer or a teacher. Maybe a leader!"

A. encourage Ryan to dig wells for people in Africa

-Would you like to go to a picnic with me this weekend.

-Sorry, I stay at home and watch TV. It’s too hot outside.

A. had better B. would like C. would D. prefer to

D 【解析】句意:——这个周末你愿意和我一起去野餐吗?——对不起,我更喜欢呆在家里看电视。外面太热了。考查动词短语辨析题。had better最好做某事,后接原形动词;would like愿意做某事,后接不定式或动名词;would将要,表打算;prefer to宁愿/较喜欢,表选择。根据句意语境,可知是在“呆在家里”和“去野餐”两者之间做个选择,故选D。

If you want a more interesting experience when you arrive in a new city or country, here are some better ways to travel, both for you and for the environment.

Way 1 Get out of the car and walk. It’s slower but it’s the greenest way to travel. It’s also the most rewarding(有益的)way to see a city, but remember to wear comfortable shoes.

Way 2 Cycling is also a good choice. Many hotels now offer free bikes to guest. It is convenient for people to travel around the city. Some also provide electric bikes that make it easier to go up hills and no longer journeys. Some cities also have mobikes, and you can pick up one easily. It’s not free but very cheap.

Way 3 If you have to take transport in a city, try to take public transport. Most cities now offer lots of information and very clear maps at the city’s website.

Way 4 If possible, take buses, trains or ships to travel from city to city. They are usually greener than cars and planes.

Way 5 When the only way to travel is by car, rent(租)an electric car. Many car rental companies now offer them, so always ask!
