The title of the article is “The $100 Distraction Device”， a response to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) program, originally known as the $ 100 Laptop.The article does ultimately reach a conclusion. Merely having computers doesnt necessarily improve academic performance. Far more important is how computers are used in peoples lives. The article builds on Fismans personal experience as well as new research by economists Ofer Malamud and Cristian PopEleches, who had access to results from the Euro 200 program that gave poor families computers in Romania. Fisman also recounts the billions that the government spent helping to equip schools with computers. The result of this is that there has not been much improvement.Fisman concludes that if children have computers on which they just play games, they will perform poorly in school. If they do academic work with them, of course they might have different results. Marc Prensky and others might take issue with Fisman, as they see tremendous educational value in some video games. The bigger point is that merely giving computers to people or pushing them into classrooms will just waste more money and will not help poor students. Merely spreading the OLPC program across the developing world wont help.But there are many ways computers can have a tremendous impact if used correctly. If the OLPC program is used not as an end, but instead as a means, it could have exciting results. To do this, the OLPC must be used as a way to connect students to learning opportunities through interactive software. If it is done correctly, we might see that although computers dont help poor kids, computerbased learning does.语篇解读：针对一项给贫穷的孩子送电脑的计划，Ray Fisman发表了一篇文章，他持什么样的观点呢？1What does Ray Fisman think of the One Laptop Per Child program?AHe thinks it has little effect.BHe thinks it does harm to kids health.CHe thinks it is a brilliant idea.DHe thinks it doesnt involve enough people.解析：选A。推理判断题。从第一段的“Ray Fisman writes about why giving poor kids laptops doesnt improve their scholastic performance”可知答案。2Ray Fisman based his article on _.his own experiencenews that he had readreports of the One Laptop Per Child programresearch on the Euro 200 programA BC D解析：选D。细节理解题。从第二段的“The article builds on Fismans personal experience as well as new research by economists . who had access to results from the Euro 200 program .”可知答案。3According to the passage, Marc Prensky _.Ais against children using computersBthinks poor children dont need to buy computersCbelieves some video games can help children learnDwants to promote computer education across the developing world解析：选C。推理判断题。从第四段的“Marc Prensky and others might take issue with Fisman, as they see tremendous educational value in some video games.”可知答案。4What does the writer think of the OLPC program?AHe/She thinks it is a total waste of money.BHe / She believes it needs improvement.CHe / She thinks it will end soon.DHe / She believes it has made a wonderful impact.解析：选B。推理判断题。从最后一段的“If the OLPC program is used not as an end, but instead as a means, it could have exciting results.

The 16yearold had already been married for a year. “She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, I had to drop out of school，” Robinson said in a telephone interview. “That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Irelands president and former UN. High Commissioner for Human Rights. “Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended.”Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an everincreasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon. “European countries are concerned about aging populations, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said. “Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge.”Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in SubSaharan Africa. In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year more than double Asias 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africas population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility, improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each childs life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature. 语篇解读：人口的快速增长困扰着世界。有关人士指出，控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。6In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by _.Agiving an exampleBexplaining the authors opinionsCdescribing the poor educa
