    What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?

    It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer． Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals．

    Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK． It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm．

    Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event． Tickets for the event sold out within three hours． Performers

    included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone．

    Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities．

    Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty （贫穷）． In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously （同时） in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin． Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight （强调） international poverty and debt．

    What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?

        A． The festival has achieved growing success．

        B． Great efforts have been made to hold the festival．

        C． The festival has brought in a large amount of money．

        D． There have been thousands of fans attending the festival．

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

        A． The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis．

        B． Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price．

        C． Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families．

        D． In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free．

    We can learn from the last paragraph that _____．

        A． the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts

        B． the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London

        C． London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals

        D． some superstars are concerned about global poverty

    What is the best title for the passage?

        A． How to have a good time B． Charity events around the world

        C． The Glastonbury Festival    D． Superstars’ performances in charity events

    Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation. (卫生设备)

    The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.

    Consider these facts:

    ●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.

    ●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water., and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.

    ●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.

    Here are three ways you can help:

    Write Congress

    Current U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.

    Sponsor a project with a faith-based organization

    Many U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply put a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.

    Support nonprofit water organizations

    Numerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows: some organizations are large, other small-scale, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.

    72. The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate that________.

       A. poverty can result in water-borne diseases

       B. people have no access to clean drinking water

       C. women’s rights are denied in some developing countries

       D. safe drinking water should be a primary concern

    73. The intended readers of the passage are________.

    A. Americans                       B. overseas sponsors

    C. Congressmen                     D. U.S.-based water organizations

    74. The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to _________.

       A. get rid of water-related diseases in developing countries

       B. donate money to people short of water through religious groups

       C. fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problem

       D. take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations

    75. What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?

       A. A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.

       B. A list of nonprofit water organizations to make contact with.

       C. Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.

       D. A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.
