Section B 2b Read the passage and answer the questions.

Crossing the River to School

过河上学

How do you get to school? Do you walk or ride a bike? Do you go by bus or by train? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for the students in one small village in China, it is difficult. There is a very big river between their school and the village. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats. So these students go on a ropeway to cross the river to school.

你怎样到学校？你步行还是骑自行车？你乘公共汽车还是乘火车去？对许多学生来说，到达学校是容易的。但对中国一个小村庄的学生来说，却是困难的。在他们的学校和村庄之间有一条很大的河 （河上）没有桥，而且河水湍急，不宜小船摆渡。所以这些学生靠滑铁索来过河上学。

One 11-year-old boy,Liangliang, crosses the river every school day. But he is not afraid because he loves school. "I love to play with my classmates. And I love my teacher. He's like a father to me."

亮亮，一个11岁男孩，每天过河上学，但他并不害怕，因为他爱学校。“我爱和我的同学们玩耍，而且我爱我的老师。他待我就像父亲一样。”

Many of the students and villagers never the village. It is their dream to have a bridge. Can their dream come true?

许多学生和村民从没有离开过这个村庄。拥有一座桥是他们的梦想。他们的梦想能实现吗？
