These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, its 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 wont 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 childrens education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit 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 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 oneB . has a special handle to access the InternetC . is cheap and can run with extra powerD . can be helpful to find the peoples 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. Negropontes cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to . A . illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB . tell us what high technology can help peopleC . show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD . 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 childrens education immediately.18. （10分）阅读理解（A）Jim went to school to study history, but when he finished his first year, he didnt pass the exam and the teacher said to him, “You have to leave school.”When the boys father heard this news, he was much worried.
