When Canadian teenager Ryan was six years old, his teacher told him that many parts of Africa, there was no clean water. She said that people often made themselves ill, and even died, just from drinking or bathing in dirty water.

What she said made Ryan upset. He decided to raise money for a well(井) so that people in Africa could have clean water. He did extra chores for his parents and raised $ 70 all by himself. Then he found out that it actually cost $2,000 to dig a well.

Most people would have given up at this point, but not Ryan. He was disappointed, but determined to rise more money. Finally he collected over S 2,000. That money was used to dig the first of "Ryan’s wells".

Since then, Ryan has continued to raise money for more wells. In fact, Ryan has raised over $1,500,000!

Ryan calls himself “a normal boy" and likes to play ice hockey when he's not in school or travelling around the world talking to other students about himself and his work. As for the future, he has said that he isn't exactly sure what he will choose to do. "Something along the lines of a lawyer or a teacher. Maybe a leader!"

1.Ryan’s teacher told him about the water problem in Africa in order to _______.

A. encourage Ryan to dig wells for people in Africa

B. ask Ryan to raise money for poor people in Africa

C. make Ryan feel unhappy and disappointed

D. educate Ryan to care about African people in difficulty

A. He is different from other students in many ways.

B. He never gives up when he has decided to do something.

If you want a more interesting experience when you arrive in a new city or country, here are some better ways to travel, both for you and for the environment.

Way 1 Get out of the car and walk. It’s slower but it’s the greenest way to travel. It’s also the most rewarding(有益的)way to see a city, but remember to wear comfortable shoes.

Way 2 Cycling is also a good choice. Many hotels now offer free bikes to guest. It is convenient for people to travel around the city. Some also provide electric bikes that make it easier to go up hills and no longer journeys. Some cities also have mobikes, and you can pick up one easily. It’s not free but very cheap.

Way 3 If you have to take transport in a city, try to take public transport. Most cities now offer lots of information and very clear maps at the city’s website.

Way 4 If possible, take buses, trains or ships to travel from city to city. They are usually greener than cars and planes.

Way 5 When the only way to travel is by car, rent(租)an electric car. Many car rental companies now offer them, so always ask!

1.Walking is the only rewarding way to see a city.

2.Many hotels and cities offer free bikes to visitors.
