Almost every child in cities has the chance to go to school, but not all children in the countries are so lucky.

There is a girl called Xiao Fang. She is eight years old and lives in a small village in Guangxi. When she was young, she wanted to go to school. But she could not, because her family was too poor to afford the school fees for her, so her parents had to keep her at home. Instead of studying, Xiao Fang worked in the fields with her parents every day. Then Project Hope heard about Xiao Fang. It agreed to help Xiao Fang to go to school. Her wish of study came true, and now she is studying in a school.

Unluckily there are many thousands of children who can not go to school. You can join in Project Hope and help these children. You know all the good work needs money. Project Hope needs your help.

If you give Project Hope￥300 each year, it can pay for one child to go to school for a whole year. With more money, Project Hope can build new schools, buy good desks, chairs, blackboards and books. Let’s help the children together and give them a chance to have a good start in life.

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.

One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.

How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.

1.When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______.

A．food             B．beds             C．rainwater         D．hope

2.One family once had an accident at sea, because _______.

A．their boat met bad weather               B．their boat hit a big rock and it was broken

3. People can catch _______ for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.

A. fish and birds                    B rainwater

C. both sea water and rainwater        D. both A and B

4.From the article (文章) we can know that ______.

A．It’s not interesting to sail around the world.

B．Fish in the sea are so dangerous.

C．we must have a strong desire（愿望）to live when we are in danger.
