These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to helpHowever, it's far from enoughLadies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help themI 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 electricityHe decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in CambodiaThe 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 neededThese special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and MrNegroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of productionThe idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the InternetThese 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 termAnother idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used againIn the UK, and, probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every yearThe waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle themIn this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same timeWe will reduce the waste we produce and help othersIn other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one stone', and that is always a good thing41It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because _Ait reduces waste and can help others Bit prevents waste and can earn lots of moneyCit can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countriesDit is good for the environment and very educative for phone users42The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers _Ato show what high tech can bring us Bto illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesCto show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesDto give an example of how to help developing countries43Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers?AHis computers dont need any power to function wellBHis computers are covered with rubber so that they are very cheapCHis computers will help children in developing countries to have better educationDHis computers will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions44Where does this passage probably come from?AA magazineBA newspaperCA lectureDAn advertisementBWe all remember seeing hitchhikers搭便车的人, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people dont have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why cant they afford cars? Why cant they take the coach or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves its still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldnt help stopping.The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out(actually, I didnt do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people-will stop.In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I dont think Ill make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, Im ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wifes hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish Id got that tank commanders mobile number.45The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because .Athey were not heading towards Manchester Bthey thought most hitchhikers were dangerousChitchhiking had been forbidden and they didnt want to break the lawDhe was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous46Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?AThat some people refuse hitchhikers may reflect the safety fear.BCar ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.C40% of UK people dont have access to cars.DIncreased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking.47The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves in Paragraph 3 most likely means .Amurderous hitchhikersBfriendly and talkative hitchhikersCtypical hitchhikersDstrange hitchhikers like the author48According to the author, future hitchhikers are more likely to .Avisit websites and find people to share cars with Bstand by roads with their thumbs sticking outCstick out signs with their destinations written on Dwait for some kind people to pick them up49From the last paragraph, we know that the author .Afrequently hitchhikes in Britain Bplans to hitchhike across EuropeCthinks public transport is safer for travel Dis going to contact the tank commanderCBobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side. But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor. Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls(试戏通知) - and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. "I wasn't a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life," he says. He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender. "My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.' But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft. Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay. His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By , he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching(推销) it. Studio executives电影公司经理, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America. Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco del
