21、Everything about Pakistani (巴基斯坦的) trucks is lively, from the colors to the designs to the wood carvings on the doors. Each one is carefully decorated, and no two trucks are alike. The drivers hope people will look at their truck with love. Every driver wants his truck to be the most admired vehicle on the road.
Just off the main road between Islamabad and Rawalpindi, there are artists, welders, metalworkers, horn sellers and electricians, all busy refurbishing (整修) and decorating the massive vehicles parked in the yard. Their space, called the carriage factory area, is devoted to the maintenance and care of trucks that serve the purpose of transporting goods from one place to another while looking and sounding as impressive as possible.
Scholars have traced evidence of decorated transport in Pakistan back thousands of years. The Pakistani practice of truck painting began gaining widespread popularity soon after the country’s independence.
Trucks are covered with designs, colorful stickers and fanciful paintings—hearts, flowers, peacocks, movie stars, folk singers, animals, politicians, angels and army generals. Chains dangling off the bottom jingle and sway with the truck’s stops and turns. There are lines of poetry expressing the loneliness of the trucker.
Drivers also have their choice when it comes to the horns. In his shop, Javed Iqbal vocalizes (使发声) some of the horn sounds for visitors. Many drivers request the “rail wallah” horn, he says, the one that sounds like a train. And for those who don’t want to choose just one sound, he sells a single horn with multiple effects.
Thanks in part to the efforts of Khan, the anthropologist and filmmaker, Pakistani trucks also serve a social good. She helped launch an award-winning project in 2019 in which a small number of trucks carry portraits (画像) of missing children, along with a number to call for Roshni Helpline, a Karachi-based nonprofit dedicated to recovering them. Of the 20 or so missing children whose portraits were painted on trucks, at least five were found.

A．They show off their talent in poetry in this way.
B．They follow the tradition of decorating transports.

【3】What is the case when it comes to the horns of the trucks?
A．Many of them sound like trains.
B．Each truck has more than one horn.

22、 It is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.
Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.
Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.
“Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”
Yohannes first worked in the children’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”
He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.
“What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.
“The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly.
【1】How do the children feel when they see the donkey mobile Library ______.
A．Curious.
B．Surprised.
C．Interested.
D．Excited.
【2】We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A．Ethiopian children have no idea about their future.
B．Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences.
C．donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and tools.
D．most books in the donkey mobile library were brought in America.
【3】Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?
A．A news report.
B．a book review.
C．A historical story.
D．An advertisement.
