Ankita Agarwal:
Your article made me ashamed. I’ve always thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed teenager, but I guess I was wrong. While I sit in my large, warm and cozy house, wishing for the shoes and clothes I see in teen magazines, there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water. Thank you for reminding me about people who would be more than happy with what I have.
Janet Tejada:
What about the relationship between population, consumption and resources? After all, poverty , most simply defined, is not having enough resources. The steady growth of the global population, overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U. S. , and increasing levels of consumption among the growing middle class in many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet’s already dwindling resources to go around.
Tadaship Kawabe:
Lixtreme poverty is so tragic. Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize a large number of people and money for a short period of time, while the slow but massive wave of poverty and death in Africa doesn’t attract the world’s attention in the same way. When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty, however, we shouldn’t focus on the overwhelming number of the dead but simply try to do something good for others.
Jane Thomas:
The poor should be trained to organize, set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their own community plans into action. What your article proposes is the conventional top-down way for doing things; outsiders determine the priorities and solutions, then throw money at them. To actually help, we must first develop our own skills and understanding. We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of the problems are. We have to listen to poor people.
Sanjay Kathe:
Concerned and sensible people’s endeavors to reduce poverty in underdeveloped countries are deserving of high praise. It is sad, however, that only a small part of the funds raised for the poor actually reach them. The generous people who donate money to reduce poverty would be more successful if they spent time in the poor nations to check first-hand the use of their funds.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate, statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Ankita Agarwal [A] What we should do is to help the poor help themselves.
62. Janet Tejada [B]I have always been deeply grieved by the tragic disasters.
63. Tadaship Kawabe [C]The root of poverty lies in the unfair distribution of resources.
64. Jane Thomas [D]The situation in Africa has been overlooked by the world.
65. Sanjay Kathe [E]The use of donated funds should be put under strict control.
[F] People living in prosperity should cherish what they have.
[G] It’s our duty to end global poverty.
选项
答案
F
解析
主旨题。Ankita Agarwal认为自己坐在宽敞温暖舒适的房子里,渴望着更多的鞋子与衣服,而有的人却连最基本的饮用水都没有,相比之下,忽然觉得自己很幸福,与F项的“繁荣中的人们应当珍惜当下的生活”表示相同的意思。故选F。
