Question

英语阅读：取标题和主旨和文章大意

In 1999, Ryan Hreljac (hurl-jack) and Jimmy Akana became pen pals. They lived on two continents, thousands of miles apart. Their lives could not have been more different. Ryan lived with his family in Kemptville, Canada, while Jimmy, an orphan, lived in Agweo, Uganda. Jimmy's life was in constant danger because rebel troops would raid his village. Fate, and Ryan's determination to help others, brought the pals together.
When Ryan was 6, he learned that millions of people in Africa did not have access to clean water. He decided to change that. To raise money, Ryan did chores for four months. He earned $70, but that was not enough to build even one well. "I realized that I couldn't raise $ 2,000 by doing chores," he told TFK. "So I started doing public speaking." To date, the Ryan's Well Foundation has built 238 wells in 11 countries. "We've helped almost 400,000 people and raised $ 1.5 million," Ryan says.
The foundation's first well was built in Agweo, where Jimmy lived. For the first time in his life, Jimmy was able to get clean drinking water without having to walk for miles. The boys met in 2000, when Ryan traveled to Uganda. "We had a connection from the beginning," says Jimmy of that meeting.
Four years ago, the Hreljac family adopted Jimmy and brought him to live in their home. Ryan, 15, and Jimmy, 17, speak to communities and schools all over the world about the importance of having clean drinking water. They tell the story of the well that brought them together in Ryan and Jimmy, a new book written by Herb Shoveller.

请有耐心看完。

What is the best title of the passage?
正确的是Pen Friends for Life 我选的是The Ryan's Well Foundation
我觉得吧，文章主要就是以两人的友情为线索，讲述了Ryan创立基金会的故事。而标题就是大意，自然是选The Ryan's Well Foundation啦？（请顺便说说英语标题到底要涵盖什么？大意还是主旨或是其他什么的……）

What's the main purpose of the passage?
A.To tell the growing frendship between the two boys.
B.To call for action to support the Ryan's Well Foundation.
我选A，错了。哎，我完全就晕了，你标题是Pen Friends for Life。结果这里我选个A还错了？（这类题往哪个点儿答呀。。昏昏昏中）

愿意详细讲的，请加QQ443459608，分只是个形式，希望大家真心帮帮我，弄明白了，我有多少分都可以给的~~呵呵

Answer 1

我觉得是这样子嘀，文章主要讲的是两个人成为了笔友，Ryran知道了Jimmy没有干净水喝的事情。于是他就开始想办法去挣钱，让Jimmy有水喝。就这样一点点地他成立了这个基金会，后来jimmy被Ryran家里收养了，他们和别人说着他们的故事，让更多的人来支持基金会。对于一篇文章来说，题目的作用：让大家知道讲的是什么，吸引别人注意力。基金会的建立也是在他们成为笔友的基础之上。Pen friends for a life.不仅仅是说一辈子的笔友，还有一种隐含的情感在里面：笔友改变了生活。所有，用pen friend for a life更加形象，更容易吸引别人注意力。比起The Ryan's Well Foundation更好一些。
第二题呢，根据结尾，可以推出文章的目的不仅仅是讲他们的友情，而是通过对他们友情的渲染，让更多的人知道他们的基金会，博取感性上的精神支持，从而支持基金会。可以这么说，他们友情的故事是一个广告。所以，目的还是要支持基金会的。
不知道这么说你能明白不，嗯，不清楚的我们再讨论啦！
