money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. these seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. however, its far from enough. ladies and gentlemen, weve got to come up with some better ideas to help them.i was very surprised, then, when i read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. a man called nicholas negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. he decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in cambodia.the laptop which mr. negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. one difference is that it is covered in rubber so that it is very strong and wont be damaged easily. as an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle so that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.these special laptop computers will cost less than 100 us dollars and mr. negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. the idea is that these computers will help the childrens education as they will be able to access the internet. these computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving childrens 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 created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. in this way we will be able 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 stone, and that is always a good thing.46its an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because _.a. it reduces waste and can help othersb. it prevents waste and can earn lots of moneyc. it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countriesd. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users47 the author gives the example of mr. negropontes cheap computers _.a. to show what high tech can bring us.b. to illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesc. to show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesd. to give an example of how to help developing countries48which of the following statements is true about mr. negropontes cheap computers?a. his computers dont need any power to function well.b. his computers are covered with rubber so that they are very cheap.c. his computers will help children in developing countries to have better education.d. his computers will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions.49 where does this passage probably come from?a. a magazineb. a newspaperc. a lectured. an advertisementbare morning people born or made? in my case it was definitely made. in my early 20s, i rarely went to bed before midnight, and i would almost always get up late the next morning. but after a while i couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. on those rare occasions where i did get up early, i noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. so i set out to become a habitual early riser. but whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. eventually some sleep research showed me that i was using the wrong strategy. the most common wrong strategy is this: you assume that if youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. it sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. there are two main schools(流派) of thought on sleep patterns. one is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. the second school says you should go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. however, i have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity. if you sleep at set hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. youre wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep. if your sleep is based on what your body tells you, youll probably be sleeping more than you need. also, your mornings may be less predictable if youre getting up at different times. the solution for me has been to combine both methods. i go to bed when im sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. so i always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but i go to bed at different times every night sometimes at 9:30pm, and other times at midnight. most of the time i go to bed between 10-11 pm. however, going to bed only when im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way. if you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.50. according to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to _. a. people who stay up until the next morning. b. people who get up early in the morning. c. people who feel sleepy in the morning. d. people whose productivity is the highest in the morning.51. why did the author want to become a habitual early riser? a. because he / she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. b. because he / she had found that his / her productivity was higher when he / she got up early. c. because he / she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep patterns was right. d. because he / she was told the high relationship between success and rising early.52. the author experienced all the following except _. a. going to bed after midnight b. getting up early occasionally c. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping d. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits53. the passage is mainly about _. a. how to become an early riser b. how to have good sleep c. wrong strategies for getting up early d. main schools of thought on sleep patternsc last year in my high school child-development class，each student had to take the “think-it-over” baby home for a night to get a taste of parenthoodit was a friday night when my turn came to take the 10-pound plastic doll homethe doll really did look like a live baby from a distanceit even had a pleasant baby powder smelli took the baby home and named him tylermy friends and i went out for supper that nightas it was rather cold, i decided to wrap tyler in a blanket and carry him in that waywhen i walked into the restaurant, i noticed some very strange looks and quite a few raised eyebrowsmy friends and i decided to make a game out of the whole situationi stood in the corner pretending to rock tyler to while my friends kept looking into the blanket and said, “oh, how lovely” i could not but laughand although it was funny to my friends and me, some of the people did think it was so funny that i had a babyi overheard one couple say，“why would she put a baby here?” these people were giving me rude looks and forming judgments about because they thought i was a teenage momothers just smiled at me pathetically(同情地) and felt sorry for me because i was only a child with a childduring our meal，my friends and i received strange looks from the others in the restauranti was so glad to finally go homei learned a lot through my experience with the“think-it-over”babythe doll tyler strengthened my thinking i was not ready to be a parent, but it also made me aware of the larger pictureit opened my eyes to the judgments people make about itpeople do not realize that some things are not the way they seemi was only trying it around for a class projectthe people in the restaurant were so quick to judge because they thought i was a teenage momi sometimes catch myself judging people i not know, just because of the first impression they givein reality, i have no idea about real storieswe should all be slower to judge others，and realize that some things are as they seem54the child-development class is meant for students ato take a doll home for fun bto gain experience as a parentcto learn to be a good baby-sitter dto learn to better care for others55what did the writer mainly learn from her class project? ashe should look after homeless babies bshe should take the class project seriously cshe should help those teenage moms at her best dshe should judge people after understanding them better56the last paragraph of the passage is aa description of the class ba conclusion of the projectca comment on the writers experience dan argument against teenage momsdthe wall
