for many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like google or yahoo. but what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the internet? a business and international development professor in california, rose shuman, found an answer for them: question box. question box is a service that provides answers-free of charge-for people who cannot search the internet directly. the users of questions box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the internet. question box began three years ago in india. people used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. rose schuman explained, “you just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. you can ask them any sort of question you want, and theyll look it up in english or in hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.” the service is currently offered in two villages. the latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. rose shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “it is very efficient (效率高的). rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the internet, the idea was to make a technology that even grandma could use.” in april 2009, question box was introduced to uganda. forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in kampala. the community workers went around telling people about the service. they wore t-shirts that said “ask me.” but internet service in uganda proved slow and undependable. so question box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. that way, the researchers in kampala could quickly search the database for answers.64. the best title for the passage is _. a. question box - taking the place of the internet b. needing an answer? - asking question box c. question box - a great invention in the world d. rose shuman - a professor helping the poor65.in rose schumans opinion, the greatest advantage of question box is that _. a. it is the most advanced in the world b. it is more convenient to carry. c. it saves much more energy d. it is much easier to use 66.the underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to _. a. the users b. the operators c. the researchers d. question box workers67. what can we infer from the passage? a. question box costs the users much less than the internet. b. question box operators can look for information in any language. c. question box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas. d. question box can work without the help of the internet in uganda.d why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?the answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. to the egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for muslims, it means heaven. red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. in china, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the new year. for many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions toward them. green is said to be the most restful color. it has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. people who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches. red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites . many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “buy now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye. blue is another calming color. unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. so if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help. the next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.68. muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their . a. cultural
