• 2．A new TV documentary is being made which charts the lives of three children who are making a home in Britajye.ai.In each case，the children have travelled to the UK alone to join their mothers after a separation of several years.
     Imran is 11 and lived in Pakistan with his grandmother before coming to a village near Peterborough in the East Midlands to join his mother and his new stepfather，whom he had not met before.He speaks Urdu and Punjabi，but not a word of English.Imran soon gets into trouble at school because he is at a disadvantage among his confident English-born classmates.The other children tease him because they think he is not cool，so he covers up his awkwardness by playing the fool.After school he sits drawing a picture of himself with tears on each cheek.
     Like Imran，10-year-old Altynay from Kyrgyzstan，spoke no English when she arrived at her new home in Penistone，Yorkshire，but she was lucky to have Kanykei，who has lived in England for three years，to interpret for her.Even so，this little girl，who was the head girl at her old school，found her first few months here very hard.Early in the film she is shown laughing and dancing with Kanykei，while later she appears to be homesick and disappointed by the language barrier at her village school.But that was a few months ago.Kanykei confirms that Altynay is happier now because she has learned more English.
     Compared with the two，Marshal has a huge advantage，having been educated at English-language schools in Zimbabwe.He is also outgoing.When asked if settling into a new country is hard for him，he shakes his head， "No，it was not hard for me.I am a brave person." But his new life is not without difficulties. "It is his reading I am worried about，" says his mother Josephine. "He didn't have my support when he needed it."

• 3．Africa Water Week - nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water，and that lack of clean water association with improper hygiene and shortage of toilets kills 3.3 million a year.And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world，but its effect is not widely known，according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
     As part of the World Water Day tradition，the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington，D.C.The films describe a variety of conflicts over water.
     "The challenge in presenting these films，" says Peter Sawyer，project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting，"is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water." "Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there，" he says."We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important."
     In Dhaka's Challenge，filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.He says one-third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited.Each year 400，000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor.City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority （WASA）comes at a price，available only to land owners.The film records how a non-profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.
     Diabalok Sing Ha，who is the group's founder，said， "A win-win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand，poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap，so they immediately buy in. "
     "My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives， " says Sapienza.
  
  （1）Which of the following is the main purpose of the films？

  
  A．To show the number of people lacking clean water.
  B．To let more people know the serious water problems.
  C．To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts.
  D．To get people to have a good knowledge of water.
  （2）What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？

  
  A．Ways to get cheap water.
  B．The film Dhaka's Challenge.
  C．Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza.
  D．A non-profit group.
  （3）Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with？

  
  A．Most people can't afford the water supply.
  B．Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once.
  C．Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water.
  D．Dhaka WASA will see soon the economic advantage.
  （4）What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge？

  
  A．The problem of water can possibly be solved.
  B．All the people cannot get city water from WASA.
  C．A win-win situation is expected by every filmmaker.
  D．Dhaka WASA is very popular with the local people.
