Claire Wyatt，a 24-year-old British volunteer，led eight Cambodians living with disabilities on a 155-mile bike ride from Phnom Penh，the nation's capital，to Siem Reap to raise money and deliver supplies to those in need amid the coronavirus pandemic （新冠病毒大流行）.
   "Leading this trip was an incredibly special experience for me，" said Claire. "Not only was I inspired by the determination of each and every rider，but also the team taught me every day not to focus on their disability."
   When she was first asked to lead the excursion，Claire admitted，she was feeling nervous about her team traveling such a distance in just a few days，because cycling with a disability can come with added physical and emotional challenges.
   One team member named Dy，who lost an arm in a landmine （地雷） accident，biked using just one arm to balance.Another named Vulta could only pedal on one side due to paralysis from polio （脊髓灰質(zhì)炎）.Despite all the difficulties，Claire realized quickly that she didn't have to worry about her team.She saw them deal with rough terrain （不平地形） that she had seen abled cyclists give up on before.
   The volunteers covered the distance in just four days，not only helping so many people across the country，but also overcoming huge barriers （障礙） to get there.
   "The best thing about this ride is that the riders have all volunteered their time to do this.They are so passionate about Cambodia and raising money for others in need，" said Claire. "The money raised will feed 99 families in Siem Reap."
   Claire recalled her favorite moment of the experience，when one of the cyclists pushed a shattered teammate up a hill for 2 miles. "One moment that stood out for me was when Naret，our only female rider，was feeling tired，" she said. "Her fellow rider gently put his hand on her back and pushed her for 2 miles!They were encouraging each other to push through the tiredness."

2．Hunter ran his first 30 kilometres.It was not easy for him，but he made it.Months earlier，he wasn't in any condition to run five miles，let alone 18.6 miles，the distance of a 30 kilometres.
   One day，early in the morning，my wife Lisa discovered that our older son，Hunter，had been playing video games since he got home from school the previous day.What she found angered both of us.
   We were sick of the amount of time Hunter spent playing video games.He would often sleep until 2：00 p.m.on Saturdays because he stayed up playing games until 3：00 in the morning.
   Driven to break our son's life style，we tried several different approaches，like limiting the amount of time he was allowed to play games each day，but we couldn't find anything that worked consistently.He always seemed to go back to the game，especially when we were not there to monitor him.
   It's not that I'm against video games；I am just against playing them every waking moment at the expense of exercise.In an attempt to ensure that our kids did not become addicted to games，I came up with an idea：Game time in our house would have to be earned，just like money.Each mile run equals 30 minutes of video-game play.We put no limit on the number of miles Hunter could run in a day，so the only limit to the amount of time he played was based on how far he decided to run.The first couple of days didn't go very well.Hunter got sick of the idea and refused to run at all.Eventually，Hunter decided he would give running a shot.
   It never occurred to him that running was giving him a sense of purpose.Hunter even planned to join a marathon and hoped to become the youngest family member to complete one.It was my hope that running teaches him to invest his time in worthwhile causes，not just video games.I never want him to stop challenging himself.

（1）What do we know about Hunter？

A．He was dishonest.
B．He was academic.
C．He was lazy.
D．He was a video game addict.
（2）What's the author's attitude towards video games？

C．Favorable.
D．Opposed.
（3）How did Hunter like running in the end？

A．It was meaningful.
B．It was tiring.
C．It was boring.
D．It was skillful.
（4）What is the best title for the text？

A．To Run or Not

3．"Like a monster，it destroys everything."That's how one schoolgirl described a tsunami（海嘯）.
   On Dec.26，2004，a magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Indonesia set off a massive tsunami.It killed more than 290，000 people across a dozen countries and cost an estimated ﹩10 billion in damage.
   Nov.5 is World Tsunami Awareness Day and at the United Nations，disaster risk reduction was high on the agenda.
   "What I can tell you is that the tsunami wave cannot be stopped，" said Bulgarians U.N.Ambassador Georgi Velikov Panayotov.He was on vacation in Thailand in 2004 and survived the tsunami. "What we can do is build early warning systems and，of course，educate the population about the damaging power of the tsunami wave，" he said.

   "When the big earthquake hit Japan in 2011，people thought that we were prepared for it，" said Japan's U.N.Ambassador Koro Bessho. "It caused severe damage.We had dams；we had drills.However，we had been counting on something that hits every 100 years and the earthquake was of the size of possibly every 500 years or thousand years，"he said.
   These two events sent the countries of the region into overdrive to review and improve disaster preparedness.In 2015 the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was born.It aims to help create a better understanding of disaster risk and improve preparedness for an effective response.
   Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands which are disaster prone（災(zāi)害頻發(fā)區(qū)）.Willem Rampangilei，head of Indonesia National Board for Disaster Management，said his government now has plans for every disaster prone city.
   Countries at risk are also expanding their education programs.Children from an early age are taught how to react in case of a tsunami and then go with their classmates to higher ground away from coastal areas to avoid the walls of water the tsunami triggers.
