I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard(果园),looking up at the branches above me.It is one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmother’s apple pie,and how I used to make it with her.She died last year,before the apple harvest,and I have not had her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about,visiting the late summer flowers.The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes.Above me,big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the w ind.School starts in another week,and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!”calls my grandfather.“Is that you?”I stand up,take his hand,and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard.We talk about apples,and bees,and Grandma.He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough,brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close.“You know,Sophie,”he says,“I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼),and you’ll never guess what I found.It’s the recipe(烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie.I used to help her make it sometimes.I can’t do it all alone,but you used to help her too.Maybe between the two of us,we ca n work it out.Want to try?”
“But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“That’s true,”he says,“but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still,I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say?” I nod yes,and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen,making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

阅读下面短文并回答问题, (请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1]One person can make a difference. Just ask Ryan Hreljac, who is 15 and lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America, and India might never have been built. He travels the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: _______ in many developing countries.
[2] In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. Some even die from drinking bad water in some developing countries, his teacher says. So Ryan decided to act. He spoke to schools, churches, and clubs about his goal. The word spread, and donations began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $2,000, enough to dig one well. An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief chose a location for the well in the village of Agweo in Africa.
[3] After the first well, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan says, “and one goal led to another.” Its website (www.ryanswell.ca) lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the awards he has received. “The most impressive people I’ve met are the other kids who want to help, too,” he says. “The only reason I accept awards is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.”
[4] Asked if he ever feels discouraged that many people still lack good water, Ryan says, “It’s important to be an optimist. I had a small dream, and I stayed with it. Everybody can do something.”
