Section Ⅲ　Using language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 My husband Robert and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉) system for bananas in Zambia.The Heart of Africa Mission is run by local Zambians, with a focus on community development.We were there to share our agricultural experience and knowledge with the African farmers. We left snow-covered Alberta, Canada in January.We spent the next four weeks working side by side with the local Zambians in a banana plantation (种植园)．The banana plantation would help make the Heart of Africa Mission self-supporting.It would also teach banana farming to the students there.Students would go on to teach others.It has done that and more.Through the jobs created, several families now have food, education for their children, and enough housing.The plantation is producing well and is a source of great pride for all who work there. My husband worked hard at building the irrigation system.But the story he tells most often is of the young man who stopped us on one of our walks somewhere.He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert, “Look, look, it still works.” Robert had repaired it for him.A bike in Zambia is like a truck in North America — necessary transportation for people and produce.Robert's small effort made a big difference in this man's life. “We sure appreciate your sacrifice (牺牲)，” our organizer often says.For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honor to have the chance to work in a place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts.All this happened while living in a beautiful sunny country in the green of the rainy season, while at home in Alberta, the snow would cover the landscape for months.No, the volunteer work was never a sacrifice.It was only an honor. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫曾经远离家乡，自愿来到赞比亚帮助建立一个香蕉灌溉系统，在那里与非洲农民分享他们的农业知识和经验。 1．What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?
