Ebola(埃博拉病毒) has struck hard in Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂共和國(guó)).More than one million children have been unable to attend school because the spread of the disease is so fast.But classes are now broadcast on 41 radio stations.The educational programs are airing three hours daily,five days a week.
In the country's capital,F(xiàn)reetown,17-year-old student Doris Ansumana says radio broadcasts have made a big change from her usual days at school.She says life has become tiresome—not interesting.She misses the social life.She misses going to school and seeing other students.She notes,however,that others do not have the chance to study because they have to work.Her father expresses concern about other young students because many are being forced into labor instead of study.He says some students are selling things because they do not have money to go to school.
Brima Michael Turay,director for the Ministry of Education,Science and Technology,says the ideal(理想的 goal is to have the broadcasts take place from eleven in the morning until five in the afternoon.He says the ministry worked hard to get teachers' opinions and advice for the broadcasts.He says parents must understand that the ministry cannot continually protect their children.“This has to be one of their greatest responsibilities.”
The broadcasts teach and comfort children.They tell children that they are not alone in the Ebola crisis(危機(jī)).Mr.Turay says the broadcasts also advise children on how to protect themselves and others.“Wash your hands.Do this and do that,so you don't end up losing your life or losing a family member and all of that.”
The Education,Science and Technology Ministry will continue to present more programs.It has also planned to bring solar-powered radios to areas of Sierra Leone without electricity.

Imagine being told not to drink,shower,or brush your teeth with tap water.That's what happened to people of Toledo,Ohio,and parts of Michigan after tap water coming from Lake Erie was found to be unsafe.Hundreds of thousands of people were affected.
As a temporary solution,bottled water was trucked into the area and the Ohio National Guard was purifying(凈化) water for people.But by Monday morning,the ban had been removed.“Our water is safe,” said Toledo mayor D.Michael Collins.“Families can return to normal life.”To reassure people,he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.
Toledo is Ohio's fourth largest city.News about the water ban came after tests at one water-treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin(微囊藻毒素).Algae(藻類(lèi)) caused the toxin.Following the warning,Ohio Governor John Kasich declared a state of emergency.Drinking the contaminated water could cause vomiting,cramps,and rashes(嘔吐、腹部絞痛和疹).
To try to solve the problem,city officials added carbon and chlorine(氯) to the water.Test results on Sunday showed that the toxins had probably reached a safe level,but Mayor Collins said two tests had come back “too close for comfort”.It wasn't until Monday that the mayor announced that six new water samples had come back clean and safe to drink.
Tap water accounts for two-thirds of the drinking water consumed in homes across the US.Officials test the quality of the water to make sure it is healthy for people to drink.During the emergency in Ohio and Michigan,officials began to talk about how to stop pollutants from polluting Lake Erie.The lake supplies drinking water to 11 million people and the toxins that polluted the region's drinking water didn't just suddenly appear.
Toledo mayor D.Michael Collins said that,going forward,scientists and political leaders need to come together and figure out how to solve the algae problem in Lake Erie.

A.compare it with purified water

答案 D [推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“‘Families can return to normal life.’To reassure people,he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.”可推知,柯林斯市長(zhǎng)之所以喝自來(lái)水,是為了證明自來(lái)水已經(jīng)可以安全飲用,以此來(lái)打消人們的顧慮。]
7.What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Polluted.
B.Clean.
C.Dirty.
D.Improved.
答案 A [詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞上文“News about the water ban came after tests at one water-treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin.”可知,禁水令開(kāi)始于一水處理廠的測(cè)試顯示水中超標(biāo)的微囊藻毒素。再根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞下文“cause vomiting,cramps,and rashes”可知
