Ryan Hrejac is a kid 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: the need of safe drinking water in many developing countries.
“Everybody can do something,” Ryan says.
Ryan's efforts didn't begin in a far-off place, though, but right at home in Kemptvlle, Ontario. In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned from his teacher that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. His teacher said that some of the children even died from drinking bad water.
So Ryan decided to take action. He did housework for his parents and for neighbors to make some money. He spoke to schools, churches, clubs about his idea. The word spread, and donations（捐献）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（CPAR）chose a place for the well in the village of Agweo, in Uganda, eastern Africa.
After the first well was built, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan said, “and one goal led to another.”
He founded Ryan's Well Foundation（基金会）four years ago to educate people about the importance of water and help more people get clean water with others' help. Now the foundation has raised more than $1.5 million and built 255 wells that could serve more than 427,000 people in 12 countries.
Its website lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the honors he has received.
Ryan isn't bragging（吹噓）. “The best people I've met are the other kids who want to help, too.” he said. “The only reason I accept honors is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.”
1.What problem does Ryan want to solve?
A.The poor condition of schools.
B.The influence of war on children.
C.The illness caused by pollution.
D.The need of safe drinking water.
2.Ryan himself raised money by ________.
A.starting a website to get donations
B.creating an educational organization
C.doing housework and introducing his idea
D.travelling to a village across the world
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.An Organization of Saving Water
B.A Goal to Help African People
C.A Boy Who Makes a Difference
D.A Well That Brought People Together

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellites kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating (移居) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result. Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West. So these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kids”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kids” means to grow up in such a country, you know you are different and you can’t make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are not here.
1.According to the passage, parents in _______ don’t send their kids abroad.
A. China B. Japan C. Korea D. America
2.“Satellite kids” refer to the Asian kids ______.
A. without parents B. living abroad alone
C. with university education D. not speaking English
3.Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents______.
A. want to leave their own country B. want them to go to university
C. return to their countries to work D. want them to be depend on themselves
4.The following problems of “satellites kids” are right except ___ ___.
A. They grow up lonely. B. The don’t often go to school.
C. They can make friends easily. D. Their parents can not look after them.
5.What is the main idea of the passage?
