The outstretched(伸出的) hand caught my eyes immediately. I’d fallen on the sidewalk, having tripped on the curb(路边). A hand was there, ready to help me. Then, warm smile and, “ Are you OK?”
I’d fallen on my hands and knees, and I was fine. But I loved seeing that hand reaching toward me. The woman helped me up, made sure I was all right, and we both went our way.
As I remembered this incident during the next few days, it became a symbol of the significance of helping another one. In the grand scheme of things, such help may often seem small, but at the moment it’s needed, it can feel very significant.
One of my most meaningful lessons on how to help others came at the end of a week-long music workshop. At that final gathering, we each had the opportunity to perform for the other participants. A woman who was  much more experienced and accomplished(技艺高超的)than I ---- a piano teacher who attended the workshop in order to learn new teaching techniques- invited me to play the piano with her. I'd actually been quite happy as part of the audience, watching the other students perform. My piano skills were elementary, and my confidence was low.
When she asked, though, it was almost as if she’d taken me by the hand and led me to the piano. As I plunked out a melody(旋律), she played a lovely accompaniment. Hearing that accompaniment to my melody moved me to tears. She was helping my music be beautiful—helping me play my song. But the lasting impact of that experience related to much more. I took away with me the lesson that we are each here to help one another “ play our songs” --- live our lives to the fullest, be the individuals whom we are.

    May 26, 2011—Cities and provinces along the Yangtze River in central China are struggling with the country’s worst drought in more than 50 years. Resource analysts say, the drought highlights(突出，强调) not only the impact of climate change, but also China’s long-lasting problem of lack of water and how it must balance that with the country’s enormous demand for energy and economic growth.

     Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and is just one example of how serious the drought has become. The lake, which is located in Jiangxi Province along the Yangtze River, has become smaller to less than half its usual size, and the lack of water has had a major impact on nearby fishing and farming.

    With water levels so low, stretches of the Yangtze River have become impassable for cargo vessels(货轮), destroying supply chains that fuel factories along the river, and transport manufactured products and agricultural goods. Analysts say the river is used to transport about 100 billion tons of goods each year.

    There is a lot of hydropower(水力发电)in the Yangtze River basin. For example, the Three Gorges Dam and power production from those sources have gone down by 20 percent according to some estimates(估算值) as a result of this drought. Any company that relies on that power is feeling the impact. Some are even being forced to ration their power use, he said.

    According to Chinese state media, the drought has affected more than one million hectares of farmland in seven provinces in central China. Local government officials reportedly have fired more than 4, 000 cloud-seeding rockets into the sky to try to bring rain to dry regions along the river. The forecast, however, continues to be for little rain until at least next month.

64. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The Yangtze River.

B. The serious drought of the Yangtze River.

C. The negative effect of the drought along the Yangtze River.

D. The cause of the drought.

65. The areas along the Yangtze River haven’t had so serious a drought for _______.

A. 50 years                                        B. more than 50 years

C. 10 years                                      D. more than 20 years

66. Which of the following isn’t the cause of the drought?

A. The impact of climate change.

B. Long-time lack of water.

C. The increasing demand of energy and economy.

D. People’s attitude towards water.

67. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ration” in Paragraph 4?

A. Increase.                 B. Limit.                C. Affect.                  D. Stop.
