Ryan? Hiljek: Known as the "Soul of Canada", he founded the Ryan's Well Foundation in 2001 with the help of the Canadian Association for International Development. On September 30, 2002, he received the National Medal of Honor from Governor General Clarkson, and in October, he was selected as the only Canadian to be named one of the "Top 10 Junior Heroes of North America". It all started with a small wish at the age of six - to dig a well for children in Africa! At first, he earned the money to dig the well by doing chores alone. Then relatives, friends, and neighbors joined in. ...... Over time, his wish inspired adults in more than sixty countries around the world, and the ranks of those who helped Ryan grew larger and larger, with people giving money to help. By early 2003, the Ryan's Well Foundation had more than $700,000 and had dug more than 70 wells in Africa.
Sentence comprehension:
1. Without saying a word, Ryan suddenly said, "I'll save up for the drilling rig." His voice was small but firm, "I want everyone in Africa to have clean water."
This passage contrasts with Ryan's behavior when he hears the head of the fund-raising program say that it will cost $2,000 to dig a well when he first donates money: at the time, Ryan doesn't know how much $2,000 is, and he just says excitedly, "Then I'll work some more to earn more money!" From "excited" to "determined", on the one hand, it shows that Ryan has grown up quickly in just two months by raising the 2,000 dollars for drilling a well, and he now clearly recognizes the difficulty of buying a drilling rig; on the other hand, it also shows that Ryan's goal of "making every African country a better place to live" has been realized. On the other hand, it also shows that Ryan's determination to realize his dream of "giving everyone in Africa access to clean water" is unshakeable.
