Ladies and Gentlemen,thank you very much for coming to this concert.I hope you have enjoyed
the entertainment.As you may know,all the performers have donated their time to help us.
The purpose (目的)of this concert is to raise money for children in Africa.Every day hundreds
of children in Africa die because they have diseases or have not had enough to eat.
There are two main reasons.First, there is no work for the children’s parents,so they have no
money to buy food or medicine.Second,the governments in many African countries do not have
the money to take care of the poor.
Most African countries are poor.The land is not good for growing food and the weather is also
bad for farming.There are many organizations trying to help these poor people.The organization
we are trying to help,The Feed Africa Fund,spends millions of dollars every year on food for poor
people in Africa.This money comes from people like you—kind,generous people who do not want
to see children die of hunger.
All the money you give this evening will go to The Feed Africa Fund.Just one dollar can buy
enough rice or corn to feed a family of four for three days.Think about it:only one dollar can feed
four people for three days.
How much do you spend on food every day?Ten dollars?Twenty dollars?I am sure you can
spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for The Feed Africa Fund.
Ladies and Gentlemen,we will now take a collection.Please be generous.
36.What did the people probably see before this speech?
A.Some performers.
B.Animals doing tricks.
C.A movie.
D.Some musicians.
37.What will the money be raised for?
A.Children without parents.
B.Children without food.
C.Countries without money.
D.Countries without bad water.
38.If a person gave five dollars,how long could the money feed four people?
A.Three days. B.One week.
C.Half a month. D.One month.
39.How would you describe “generous” people?
A.People who get sick often.
B.People who give money easily.
C.People who are thin with hunger.
D.People who work hard.40.Why are most African countries so poor?
A.Because the weather is bad for farming.
B.Because the land is not good for growing food.
C.Because the governments have no money.
D.Both A and B.
D
From middle school to college,I volunteered in many places.And I really feel happy as a
volunteer.41.

teacher and the look of joy on the children’s faces when they could work out math problems.Most
of all,I was happy that they did very well in the math tests.
43. They liked to tell me their dreams or future plans.44.
Looking back at those days,I learned much more from the three years’ experience than I gave
to the children.45. Because I know it’ll bring me more happiness.
