3. The old couple were thinking of

__________
after they retired.

donate a day’s
pay for the miners killed in the accident.
operated on him six times
5. They had ________
before he was a year old.
Imagine you and your classmates want to
donate some of your pocket money to help
those in need in another country. Work as a
team and decide how much of your pocket
money you would like to donate. What would
you do with your group’s donation? Do you
think the gifts like those in “The World’s
Most Useful Catalogue” are a good idea?
Give at least two reasons for your answers.
A: I’ll donate 100 yuan, because I have
to pay for my textbooks myself next
term. And our group donate 500
yuan altogether, which equals $65.
We would like to buy Water for a
family ($65). Maybe that’s not too
much money.
But we can do our best to help, even to
save. Therefore, I think it is a good idea
to have “The World’s Most Useful
Catalogue”. If everyone in the rich
countries of the world does the same
things, a lot of people will be saved
instead of dying of hunger or thirst.
Topic two:
Add to the gift list on the Internet
page three more gifts that you think
might be important for those in need in
another country. Share your choice with
another group and give at least two
reasons for your choice.
B: We would like to add to the gifts: a
wireless radio, a TV set, a computer.
With these three, they can know
more about the world and learn
more about science and technology.
They can even get distance
education, or got to school
in the air. Another group told us that
they would like to add condoms to the
list. As far as I know, more and more
people in poor countries are infected
with AIDS. Condoms can prevent them
from being infected with AIDS.
Topic three:
Do you think your class would like
to raise money to buy a gift from “The
World’s Most Useful Catalogue”? Take
a vote on it. Imagine your class has
raised $250. What gifts from the
catalogue would you buy for those in
need in another country?
C: We believe our class will agree to raise
money to buy a gift from “The World’s
Most Useful Catalogue” and I’m sure
we can raise more than $250. With the
money, we will buy school books ($20),
Basic health-care services ($30), one
year of primary schooling for three
($35×3), and
a loan to set up a small business ($85).
I think, after one year of primary
school, they can read books and
improve their living. Thanks to the
knowledge they get from the books,
they may set up a small business, on
condition that they are healthy enough.

developing countries?

African health clinic, she saw children
with illnesses that could be prevented.

Malawi, why did the children die?
Because the clinics didn’t have enough
medicines.

impossible for Mary to get to the
clinics when the rains came?

that they spent most of their time
digging the car out.
4. Why were conditions in the clinics in
the Sudan challenging?

be nearly impossible to get to the
clinics when it rained; the clinics were
very basic and the only tools she had
were a stethoscope and her hands.

otherwise may not get help.
