think about giving help to developing countries we often think about giving 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 it s far from enough Ladies and gentlemen we ve 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 won t 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 children s education as they will be able to access the Internet These computers might not help 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 5 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 46It s an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because A it reduces waste and can help others B it prevents waste and can earn lots of money C it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries D it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users 47 The author gives the example of Mr Negroponte s cheap computers A to show what high tech can bring us B to illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries C to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries D to give an example of how to help developing countries 48Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mr Negroponte s cheap computers A His computers don t 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 advertisement B B Are 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 couldn t 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 you re going to get up earlier you d 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 you re tired and get up when you naturally wake up However I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity 6 If you sleep at set hours you ll sometimes go to bed when you aren t sleepy enough You re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep If your sleep is based on what your body tells you you ll probably be sleeping more than you need Also your mornings may be less predictable if you re getting up at different times The solution for me has been to combine both methods I go to bed when I m 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 I m 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 habits 53 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 patterns C C 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 parenthood It was a Friday night when my turn came to take the 10 pound plastic doll home The doll really did look like a live baby from a distance It even had a pleasant baby powder smell I took the baby home and named him Tyler My friends and I went out for supper that night As it was rather cold I 7 decided to wrap Tyler in a blanket and carry him in that way When I walked into the restaurant I noticed some very strange looks and quite a few raised eyebrows My friends and I decided to make a game out of the whole situation I 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 laugh And although it was funny to my friends and me some of the people did think it was so funny that I had a baby I 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 mom Others just smiled at me pathetically 同情地 and felt sorry for me because I was only a child with a child during our meal my friends and I received strange looks from the others in the restaurant I was so glad to finally go home I learned a lot through my experience with the Think It Over baby The doll Tyler strengthened my thinking I was not ready to be a parent but it also made me aware of the larger picture It opened my eyes to the judgments people make about it People do not realize that some things are not the way they seem I was only trying it around for a class project The people in the restaurant were so quick to judge because they thought I was a teenage mom I sometimes catch myself judging people I not know just because of the first impression they give In reality I have no idea about real stories We should all be slower to judge others and realize that some things are as they seem 54 The child development class is meant for students A to take a doll home for fun B to gain experience as a parent C to learn to be a good baby sitter D to learn to better care for others 55 What did the writer mainly learn from her class project A She should look after homeless babies B She should take the class project seriously C She should help those teenage moms at her best D She should judge people after understanding them better 56 The last paragraph of the passage is A a description of the class B a conclusion of the project C a comment on the writer s experience D an argument against teenage moms D D The Wall Street Journal
