Part I

Fast-reading (read the passage below as fast as you can and then fill in the blanks using the correct forms of the given words or with “and”, “but”, “or”, “so”.)

A long, long time ago, there lived a man

(name) Noah. He was a good man,

God loved him. Noah had a wife

three sons. He

his family were happy,

it wasn’t a very happy time on the earth. There was a lot of fighting, lying

stealing. This made God very angry. One day, God said to Noah, “There are too

(many/much) bad people in the world,

I will send a great flood. Everyone will die —

all except you

your family.”

(prepare) for the flood, Noah made a large ship of wood. He put two animals of every kind —

elephants, giraffes, dogs, doves, snakes

even ants —

on the ship and

(lock) the door. When the flood came, they floated for many days and nights.

One day, the rain stopped,

Noah let a dove fly out of the ship. In the evening, the dove came back with a green olive branch in its mouth. This meant that land was near

the danger had passed.

Since then, people have always taken

the dove

the olive branch as symbols of peace. They are used at many world events today. In most opening ceremonies of the Olympics, people fly doves to show their wish for peace

friendship.

Do you think God really want all the people to die by sending the Great Flood?

Try our best to make our world a better place and the most important is to make our school a better place— no fight, no cheat, no dispute.

Heal the world

Think about the generations and, say, we wanna make it a better place for our children and children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them, and think they can make it a better place.

There's a place in your heart

And I know that it is love

And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow And if you really try You'll find there's no need to cry

In this place you'll feel

There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living

Make a little space

Make a better place...

Heal the world

Make it a better place

For you and for me and the entire human race

There are people dying

If you care enough for the living

Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why

There's a love that cannot lie

Love is strong

It only cares of joyful giving If we try

We shall see

In this bliss

We cannot feel fear or dread

We stop existing

And start living

Then it feels that always

Love's enough for us growing

So make a better world

Make a better world...

Heal the world

Make it a better place
