2017届广西来宾市高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项练习：5（含解析）

　　Ebola(埃博拉病毒 has struck hard in Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂共和国)．More than one million children have been unable to attend school because the spread of the disease is so fast.But classes are now broadcast on 41 radio stations.The educational programs are airing three hours daily，five days a week.

　　In the country's capital，Freetown，17yearold student Doris Ansumana says radio broadcasts have made a big change from her usual days at school.She says life has become tiresome—not interesting.She misses the social life.She misses going to school and seeing other students.She notes，however，that others do not have the chance to study because they have to work.Her father expresses concern about other young students because many are being forced into labor instead of study.He says some students are selling things because they do not have money to go to school.

　　Brima Michael Turay，director for the Ministry of Education，Science and Technologysays the ideal(理想的) goal is to have the broadcasts take place from eleven in the morning until five in the afternoon.He says the ministry worked hard to get teachers' opinions and advice for the broadcasts.He says parents must understand that the ministry cannot continually protect their children.“This has to be one of their greatest responsibilities.”

　　The broadcasts teach and comfort children.They tell children that they are not alone in the Ebola crisis(危机)．Mr.Turay says the broadcasts also advise children on how to protect themselves and others.“Wash your hands.Do this and do that，so you don't end up losing your life or losing a family member and all of that.”
