Niger, in central Africa, is a country that has very little rain. And 80% of people have no running water at home. So water is very important in people's lives, but sometimes kids can't do well at school because they have to find water for the family.
It's hard for the children to study. They go out on donkeys(驴）and travel about ten kilometres to get water. And then they are late for school, or they don't go at all. Sani, 11, gets water for his family in the morning and usually gets to school at 10 o'clock—two hours late. “Some of the other children are lucky,” he says. “They don't have to get water. And so they learn more quickly than me.”
One girl, Badjeba, says, “I get up at 4:30 to get water, five kilometres away. Then I take it home. Then I walk to school. I'm so exhausted that I get to sleep in class. And after school, I have to go and find water again.”
In one classroom, the teacher Dalia asks, “How many of you are often late because you have to get water?” And about 90% of the kids put their hands up. Their families ask them to get water—school is important, but water is life.

D篇
本文主要讲述了波比为照片日准备了新裙子却不小心弄脏了。她担心戴眼镜会影响照片效果。到了拍照当天，裙子缩水，但她意识到每个人都有不完美之处，决定接受自己的不同。最终，她戴着眼镜拍了一张满意的照片。
第15题:主旨大意题。根据倒数第四段Poppy thought about taking off her glasses. Then the photographer smiled at her and said, "Nice glasses!" Poppy smiled back and looked at her classmate. They couldn't move away a bad haircut or a broken arm. They all had their difference. That's what made them unusual. Poppy left her glasses on.（波比想摘下眼镜。然后摄影师对她微笑着说:"眼镜不错!"波比笑了看着她的同学。他们无法摆脱糟糕的发型或手臂骨折。他们都有各自的不同之处。这就是他们与众不同的原因。波比继续戴着眼镜。）以及最后一段可知，我们能从这个故事中学到，即使我们不完美也没关系。故选B。
