    When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.

    A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.

    This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.

Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.

(1)、The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means      .
A、吹风 B、给……上发条 C、摇上 D、利用空气……使……
(2)、The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed      .
A、will be damaged much easier than the normal one B、has a special handle to access the Internet C、is cheap and can run with extra power D、can be helpful to find the people's own solutions
(3)、According to the passage,what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?
A、We can reduce the waste to protect the environment. B、We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones. C、it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users. D、It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.
(4)、Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to       .
A、illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries B、tell us what high technology can help people C、show how to find business opportunities in developing countries D、give an example of how to help developing countries
(5)、Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?
A、We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves,not just throw money at the problem. B、We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals. C、We should think about giving help to developing countries more often. D、We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.

Zhao Li, 51, is known as "the Chinese Fabre". He is famous for writing the "Chinese version (版本) of Fabre's Book of Insects (《昆虫记》)" and setting up Asia's largest insect museum – the Insect Museum of West China in Sichuan.

Much like the French naturalist (博物学家) Jean Henri Fabre, Zhao's story with insects dates back to his childhood. In his early years, Zhao started making butterfly specimens (标本) with the help of his parents. In high school, the butterfly specimens he collected were enough to support his first specimen exhibition.

Zhao's love for butterflies is nearly crazy. During his college years, he went into the forests of western Sichuan every summer. In 1991, the then 19-year-old cycled over 500 kilometers, living in farmhouses, eating dry food, and sometimes even sleeping in temples or on big rocks along the way. Finally, he discovered a new butterfly species – Lethe bipupilla (舜目黛眼蝶). It's reported that this was the first time a new butterfly species (种类) in Sichuan had been discovered by a Chinese person.

The discovery trips can sometimes be dangerous. In 1992, Zhao came across a mudslide (山崩) in Mount Gongga, Sichuan province. Luckily, a tree got in the way of a big rock coming toward him and saved him. However, the dangers didn't stop him from looking for butterflies. To find the nationally protected Teinopalpus aureus (金斑喙凤蝶), Zhao camped for seven days on the highest peak (山峰) in southern Hainan. He became the first person in China to successfully take a detailed photo of this butterfly species,which help people see clearly how beautiful the butterflies are!

Zhao is often called "Prince Butterfly". But he said, "I am not a prince, just someone who loves insects."

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园)on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.

One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village."Who are they? "I asked."They are good men from our government," my grandma replied.

Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.

One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程)was completed, a policy(政策)was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays,people work hard to live in a big city. However,we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

Everyone dreams of traveling to Europe. Whether you' re taking your first trip by yourself, going there with a little money, or just looking for new cities, cultures and food, Europe is something for everyone

Europe is one of the most interesting continents(大陆) you can visit. It has a deep- rooted history and welcomes cultures from all over the world. And it's one of the easiest places to travel around with the convenient transportation ( you may take the subway and taxi easily in Europe).

There are several parts of Europe: eastern Europe, northern Europe, southern Europe and western Europe. Among these, the eastern Europe is a good choice for travelers who want to save money. Northern Europe is known for its natural phenomenon(现象)- the Northern Lights. If you want to see them, you need to visit in winter only when conditions are at their best. Southern Europe is made up of all the countries close to Mediterranean Sea and it's known for its natural wonders and ancient history. Western Europe is the most popular part of Europe, and it has lots of famous spots, like the Eiffel Tower, Van Gogh Museum and Big Ben.

If you are backpacking through Europe, the best time to travel is from November to March, when you'll find cheap tickets for planes and hotels. However, if you're planning a ski vacation or you want to visit the

Christmas Markets, you'll find large crowds of travelers. The busiest time of year for Europe is summer. From June to August, travelers from all over the world go to this place to enjoy the good weather.

①Recently, a short video series named Escape (逃离) from the British Museum came out on Bilibili and became a big hit in Chinese network. The video tells the story of how a Chinese relic escapes from the British Museum and finds its way back to China. A girl acts the role of an ancient Chinese jade (玉石) teapot. The teapot came alive and tried to find a way home. Later, she happened to meet a reporter on the street. The reporter's black eyes and yellow skin made her feel warm. With the help of this reporter, she finally went back to China. After returning home, the teapot quickly visited local museums and read "letters" written by other relics that are still in the British Museum.

②"My family, I have been lost for a long time," and "One day, I will finally be back." are lines (台词) in those letters. They moved the viewers deeply.

③The series were made by two Chinese young vloggers. They got this idea at the beginning of this year from a suggestion online. It advised creating a cartoon about relics coming to life and returning for Chinese New Year.

④They turned this idea into a video and stayed in the U.K. for three months, looking for information and making it. They said they are so glad that people are caring more about those Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum. That is also what they really want to do—making the young people care more about Chinese culture and history.

⑤In fact, some other countries also share the same calls for the return of their relics. Many African and Asian countries questioned about the rights for the British Museum to hold their relics as well. ____
