Six-year-old Amar Lal was never concerned with what year,month,week or day it was.His routine was the same.Every morning the family would pack their belongings and move from quarry(采石场) to quarry,where they began a day’s work.As the colours of the sky changed from blue to orange to black,the family would break stones.
Needless to say,school was a distant dream as was permanent housing.But one day in 2001,Lal’s destiny changed when Nobel Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi paid a visit to the quarry.
Recalling the fateful day in 2001 when Satyarthi was conducting a gathering in his village—an education march part of the “Save Childhood Movement”—Lal says Satyarthi spotted him carrying heavy stones.A short conversation later,Satyarthi had convinced Lal’s parents that their child was meant for greater things.
“I vividly recall Satyarthi asking my parents whether I went to school.But not my parents,grandparents or even great-grandparents had ever been to school.They looked at him with a puzzled look because a nomadic(游牧的) lifestyle was the only one we knew.Work was all we were taught to do,” the 27-year-old lawyer Lal shares.
His parents were interested by this “angel” who assured them that a better world lay outside this quarry—a world where their children could play,laugh and learn.They decided to trust Satyarthi.And several days later,Lal went to Satyarthi’s centre for children.Thus began Lal’s second chapter of life.
“My education at Satyarthi’s centre taught me that child labour is a serious problem and children around India are subjected to cruelty under the banner of ‘work’.I was really grateful that I was given a chance at a new life which thousands of children dreamed of.I wanted to give other children the same.”
Since Lal graduated as a lawyer in 2018,he has been working with Satyarthi on cases and practical assistance,and in turn,giving hope to many more children.
4.How was Lal’s life before meeting Satyarthi?
A.He worked as a labourer.
B.He led a comfortable life.
C.He was abused in the family.
D.He liked to observe the sky.
5.Who is Satyarthi most likely to be?
A.An advocate for children’s rights.
B.An owner of a big quarry.
C.A Nobel Prize winner in medicine.
D.An expert in children’s behavior.
6.How might Lal’s parents react to Satyarthi’s question?
A.They felt annoyed.
B.They were confused.
C.They felt unhappy.
D.They were disappointed.
7.Which of the following can best describe Lal?
A.Grateful and generous.
B.Reliable and determined.
C.Ambitious and modest.
D.Lucky and responsible.

Ⅵ.七选五
Many people truly want to help a friend who is in pain.But words often fail us at times like these,leaving us stammering(结巴) for the right thing to say.Some people are so afraid to say or do the wrong thing that they choose to do nothing at all. 1 There’s no one perfect way to respond or to support someone you care about,but there are some good ground rules.
2 You are not supposed to be a central figure when your friend feels sad.You may say you would have done things differently if this unlucky thing had happened to you.Of course,I hope you don’t get the chance to find out.The unhappiness belongs to your friend.So follow their lead.
Keep in mind that being with someone who is in pain isn’t easy.Your friend cannot show up for their part of the relationship very well,and you will likely get hurt.Don’t take it personally. 3 In fact,one of the best things you can do for a friend in sorrow is to forecast their needs.Don’t say,“Call me if there’s anything I can do,” because your friend will not call.What you should do is to make concrete offers:“I will stop by each morning on my way to work and take your dog for a quick walk.” Then show up and do it.
4 Hug your friend,rub their back,and touch their arm.Comfort them with small physical gestures that let them know you care and calm them.
Give them hope.Give your friend hope that things will eventually get better. 5
A.Show your love.
B.Keep your friend at ease.
C.Instead,please be tolerant of them.
D.Remember to play a supporting role.
E.After all,the future will be full of hope.
F.Their heart will heal and life will go on.
G.That’s certainly an option,but it’s not often a good one.
