Ⅱ.阅读表达
(2022·成都一诊) In the spring of 2021，Carly Zalenski's eyes were filled with tears as the dusty bus ran down a dirty road in southern Vietnam.The 14－year－old girl and her family had travelled by plane from Canton，Ohio，to Ho Chi Minh City and then by bus deep into the Mekong Delta.Now，as they approached the village，hundreds of cheering schoolchildren lined the entrance to the Hoa Lac School，a two－story concrete building that Carly had raised money for.
Carly started helping others when she was eight，handing out thanksgiving baskets at church to families in need.It was a snowy day，and she saw that one girl was wearing a pair of broken shoes and others didn't have warm coats.The next November，she went door－to－door asking for used coats，hats，gloves，and scarves，and then handed them out with the baskets.
But Carly wanted to do more—she wanted to “change lives，” she says.She remembered that her grandmother's Rotary club had，years earlier，raised money to build a school in Vietnam.That was it，she decided.She'd build a school，too.
She put together a PowerPoint presentation on the people and culture of Vietnam.At 12，hardly able to see over the platform，she gave her first fund－raising speech.“The kids in rural Vietnam don't have good schools，” she told a room of 200 Rotarians.“That's not fair.I want to raise money and improve the school condition to make their life better.”
In two years，Carly set off with her family across Ohio，visiting three or four Rotary clubs a week.“We travelled like crazy people to all these meetings，” recalled her mother，Kris.
Finally，Carly raised $50，000，which was matched by the Vietnam Children's Fund.At the donation ceremony in Hoa Lac，the school principal was impressed with the ninth grader.“How wonderful，” he said through a translator，“that a girl wanted to do something for kids of her age so far away.”

答案　Because she wanted to help the people/the children in need.或者Because she wanted to give them/the clothes to the people/the children in need.
3．What made Carly determine to build a school in Vietnam? (no more than 12 words)
