William Lindesay, a British traveler and writer, has been exploring the Great Wall—one of the human’s most wonderful building projects. Not even a Chinese knows the Great Wall of China as well as he does.

When, as a schoolboy, Lindesay announced his plan to explore the Great Wall, nobody took him seriously. But Lindesay achieved his goal, by spending 25 years on the Great Wall and has become one of the world’s most famous experts on its rich history. Lindesay now lives and works in Beijing. This year his new book has come out, The Great Wall Explained, with a lot of photographs and articles.

Running on the Great Wall was a brave trip and Lindesay had already run 3,000 kilometers along it! During those years, he got to many villages along the way. He was often helped by friendly villagers, although they didnt quite understand why the Englishman would have such interest in the Great Wall.

Why is clean water so important to developing countries? A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation(衛(wèi)生)conditions. In those countries, women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health. In this case, there is an urgent(迫切的)need for people in developing countries to have access to(有機(jī)會(huì)或權(quán)利使用)clean water to improve their health.

Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari, a 12-year-old girl in Niger. Having access to clean water changed her life. She learned about the importance of hand-washing when the school first received clean water three years ago. That evening, she told her father, “You shouldn’t eat with me unless you clean your hands.” Her father was very angry and shouted at her, “It’s not up to you to tell me what to do!” Stunned(目瞪口呆的),Hadjara sat in silence. But she knew she was right. In protest, Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night. After her father questioned Hadjara’s head teacher, he understood the importance of hand-washing and his daughter’s intentions(目的). The girl really wanted her family to live longer and healthier lives.

For people in developing countries, clean water can change many things, especially improve their health. So, from now on, let’s avoid wasting water and take action to save water, which is important to people all over the world.

1.According to the recent report, poor water and low sanitation conditions can cause _______.

A.traffic problems B.forest fires C.many illnesses

2.The key to improving people’s health in developing countries is _______ in Paragraph 1.

B.Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night in order to lose weight.

C.Hadjara’s father understood his daughter’s love and care for him later.

4.The underlined word “protest ” in this passage means _______.

A.抗議 B.保護(hù) C.節(jié)約
