It is 4:45 am in Samasati village in north-western Zambia and the Chimwanga family, champion beekeepers of the village, are already on their way to collect honey from one of their many hives（蜂房）. Samasati has been famous for beekeeping but it is only in the last ten years that the business has begun to make a difference to the lives of the producers, since they began to trade through an organization guaranteeing them a fair price for their crop.
Samasati is a beautiful place, where nature provides and pollution is non-existent. Here, 61 miles from the nearest telephone or source of electricity, the 322 inhabitants support themselves from the forest and rivers and the only income available to the villagers is from selling their honey.
It is a half-hour walk from the Chimwangas’ house to the hive. On reaching the site, the Chimwangas tear off low, leaf-covered branches from nearby trees. They place these in a pile on the ground as a bundle（捆）and put some dry plants in the middle. A match then sets the plants alight and thick smoke is produced as the fire spreads from the dry plants to the green leaves.
Mr. Chimwanga climbs quickly up the tree trunk and moves carefully along a branch towards the hanging hive, carrying the smoking bundle with him. When he reaches the hive, he waves smoke into the entrance to calm the bees. The bees circle his head continuously. Unafraid, he pulls up a bucket and fills it with the precious delicious honey, fragrant but not too sweet ‒ the result of hundreds of wild flowers the bees have enjoyed in the forest.
This honey is sold straight to the exporting company, North West Bee Products, through Bon Malichi. He is the vital middleman for the beekeepers. Bob believes the honey is Zambia’s future. “Our honey is produced without adding anything.” he says. The honey is transported to Dares Salaam, in neighbouring country Tanzania, for export. Within a month of a Zambian beekeeper climbing to his hive, his honey can be spread on bread anywhere in the world.
1.What are the Chimwanga family going out so early to do?
A.Look for bees.
B.Get honey in the forest.
C.Make honey for trading.
D.Sell their honey crop.
2.Mr. Chimwanga lit dry plants in order to ________.
A.get light and see the hives clearly
B.scare away the bees by thick smoke
C.produce smoke to protect him from the bees
D.keep warm by the burning plants
3.Why does Bob believe the honey is Zambia’s future?
A.It is popular for its superior quality.
B.It has a large quantity of production.
C.He can guarantee a fair price for it.
D.He can help export it to neighboring countries.
4.What can we learn about Samasati from the text?
A.It enjoys beautiful nature and less pollution.
B.It has an abundant supply of electricity.
C.It is well known for processing honey.
D.It is a small, poor and backward village.

Frederick Phiri is the junk⁃art king of Zambia: at just 22, he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap metal（金属废料） found in his community.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
“I introduced him to a local welder（焊工）,”Beattie told Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind:“I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said,‘Make something with this.’And he did. It was wonderful.”
Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him — keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals — elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons — and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.
“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,”Phiri said“. And then to make very large sculptures.”
1.What is Phiri known for?
A.Serving his community.
B.Collecting works of art.
C.Being the king of Zambia.
D.Turning trash into treasure.
2.What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2?
A.He had an unhappy childhood.
B.He paid for his primary school.
C.He had to support his grandfather.
D.He missed school to do part⁃time jobs.
3.How does Phiri feel about his future?
A.Uncertain. B.Confident.
C.Depressed. D.Satisfied.
4.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.A Rough Road to Success
B.The Junk Art King of Zambia
C.A Young Man’s Wildest Dream
D.The Modern Junk Works of Art

“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That’s an old proverb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that.
Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.
Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.
Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s team, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.
Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.
It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential.
1.The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______.
A. All the people in a village should give food to a child.
B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility
of shaping a child’s future.
C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they were born.
D. Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised.
2. The text was written mainly for _______________.
A. parents and members in organizations
B. teachers and students
C. newspaper reporters and developing electricians
D. education experts and government officials
3. Students can get developed in practical working skill through ______.
A. parental involvement B. community activities
C. business training D. school teaching
4.Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Parents play an important part in children’s education.
B. Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal.
C. Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.
D. Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.
