March 22, 20II---Most restaurants in the United States offer their customers a glass of tap water at no charge with their meal, but this week many restaurants are asking dinners to pay a dollar, or more, for a glass of water. Cards on their tables explain that this small amount helps bring clean water to children around the world. It’s called the UNICEF Tap Project.
“UNICEF’s Tap Project is really all about bringing attention to the fact that over 900 million people around the globe do not have access to good, clean, healthy drinking water,” says Cary Stem, who heads the US Fund for UNICEF. She adds that water-borne illness is the second-highest cause of preventable childhood death in the world.
“Each and every day approximately 4,100 children die just because they don’t have that access - 4,100 every single day.”
The public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistic with a simple, affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.
“One dollar buys enough good, clean water for a child for 40 days,” Stem says.
“The tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in New York City. This year, Stem says, about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in the campaign. We raised about $2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,” says Stem. “Last year, we raised over $1 million for the first time. This year we’re hoping to top that.”
Stem credits the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who support the tap project and raise money in their communities.
The UNICEF Tap Project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water, give water. Currently, UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.
Stem hopes that, by participating in the project, more Americans will realize that what they often take for granted is a precious and scarce resource in many other parts of the world.
【小題1】Restaurants began to charge for tap water to _______.

A．increase their profit
B．urge customers to save water
C．raise people’s awareness of the world water problem
D．collect money for those without access to safe water
【小題2】We can learn from the text that the Tap Project ________.
A．began in New York City
B．was started by volunteers
C．is hoping to collect $2.5 million this year
D．provides help for 1,000 countries in the world
【小題3】It can be learned that _______.
A．the Tap Project began in 2006
B．America suffers a serious problem
C．4,100 children die of water pollution every year
D．water-borne illnesses are the biggest killer of children
【小題4】How does Cary Stem feel about the work of the Tap Project?
A．Concerned B．Hopeful C．Disappointed D．Angry

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's new son will be named George Alexander Louis, the royal family says. A statement from William and Catherine's settlement  Kensington Palace said the baby, third in line to the throne(王位), would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
On Wednesday the royal couple took their son to Catherine's parents' house in Berkshire, following a half-hour visit by the Queen. All three names had been among the favourites listed by British bookmakers and the announcement was relatively quick by royal standards. It took a month for the name ofPrince Charles, the heir to the throne, to be announced, and a week for William, his eldest son.
George has been the name of six British kings. The last, George VI, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II and reigned from 1936 to 1952. Alexandra, the female form of Alexander, is one of the Queen's middle names and was also the name of the Queen mate of King Edward VII at the start of the last century. Louis is one of William's middle names and was the given name of Prince Charles's tutor and great-uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979.
The choice of name, relatively short by royal standards, does not necessarily mean the baby will eventually become King George VII. The Queen's father was named Albert, but chose to be crowned as George VI.
"It's interesting that they chose to go with just three names," historian Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News. "It's almost as if the royal family is coming down with ordinary people, who tend to have fewer middle names than monarchs(君主).It is a name that none can find any problems with. George itself can't be shortened in any obvious offensive way. They've probably gone for something that is safe."
【小題1】Which of the following statements can best sum up the passage ?

A．New royal baby named George Alexander Louis
B．The royal couple gave birth to their eldest son.
C．The choice of name was interesting and complicated .
D．The new baby, third in line to the throne .
【小題2】From the passage we can know the father of the new royal baby is ____.
A．Catherine B．George. C．Charles D．William
【小題3】Which of the following is True based on the whole passage  ? 
A．Prince Charles was the third heir to the British throne.
B．George Alexander Louis was the third heir to the British throne.
C．The announcement of the new loyal baby’s name is slow by royal standards.
D．All three names , George Alexander Louis, were unpopular with British bookmakers.
【小題4】The underlined word “reign” in paragraph 4 probably refers to ______
A．resign B．boom C．govern D．retire
【小題5】From what Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News , we can infer in Britain _____
A．the name of an ordinary person is simple but meaningful .
B．George itself can't be simplified in any obvious offensive way.
C．a(chǎn) monarch or a prince has usually more names in the middle than the ordinary people.
D．a(chǎn) person with more middle names must be a monarch or a prince .

Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found. The survey was asked to carried out by Pencourage, a new anonymous（匿名的）"diary-style" social media website.  
Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or twisted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and beautify about an exotic holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write " fibs" included worrying their lives would seem “ boring", jealousy at seeing other people's more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to stay connected on social media, they can in fact be left more isolated. They also said that the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel. According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to dishonesty on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage. Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week. Nearly 30 percent of women lied about "doing something when I am home alone", almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their "relationship status".
"We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling," said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist. "Leaving out the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our 'friends online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized(有同感的)with, resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others. "
【小題1】According to the passage, women tend to lie on social networking sites because        .

A．they have little fun in their daily lives
B．they are not satisfied with their present life
C．they want to entertain their friends and acquaintances
D．they don't want to go out and communicate with others
【小題2】Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in para. 3 ?
A．lies. B．posts. C．diaries. D．impressions.
【小題3】In the view of psychologists, people who attempt to stay connected on social media will
eventually     .
A．feel better about their life B．become a regular liar in the future
C．get more isolated in life D．drink more alcohol in their daily life
【小題4】In Dr Michael Sinclair's opinion,     .
A．we don't have to feel empathized with our "friends" online
B．we cannot get satisfaction by lying on social networking sites
C．it is worthwhile to work hard presenting ourselves to the world online
D．the imperfections of our lives result in a sense of disconnection from others

A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (論壇).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon."
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
