When you have a question about something，where do you go? 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(欠发达) 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 Question 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 pushtotalk button to connect a live operator.Rose Shuman explained，“You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to people who are sitting in front of computers，and speak your language.You can ask them any kind of question you want，and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi，or whatever the main language is，and translate the answer back for you.”

In April 2013，Question Box was introduced to Uganda.Forty community(社区) workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala.The community workers went around telling people about the service.They wore Tshirts 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(服务器).That way，the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database(数据库) for answers.

5.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 Joke in the World

D.Rose Shuman—A Professor Helping the Poor

6.In Rose Shuman’s opinion，the greatest advantage of Question Box is that .

A.it is the most popular in the world

B.it is more comfortable to carry

C.it is much easier to use

D.it saves much more energy

7.What can we know from the passage?

A.Question Box is more useful in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.

B.Question Box operators can look for information in any language.

C.Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.

D.Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.

It’s great fun to explore(探索)new places—it feels like an adventure，even when you know you’re not the first to have been there.But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

?Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere.It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn，or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

?Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You’ll need a good map，a compass (指南针)，a raincoat，a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost，and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金).Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.The test is in not getting lost，not in seeing how fast you can go，so always stick together，waiting for slower friends to catch up.

?See if your school or a club or ganizes orienteering activities，in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport，with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C，etc.) in the fastest time，or simply as a sparetime activity.Either way，it’s not only good fun，but a great way to keep fit.

8.Sitting beside the driver，you should .

C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more.A limeknown fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries.For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent.It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society.In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded

as the ones with special knowledge.Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people.As society changes，attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination(歧视) in employment.Lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people.Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort.One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

12.The proportion of older people .

A.is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B.is oneseventh of the population in developing countries

C.will increase much faster in China than in France

D.will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

13.According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

A.The diseases and disability of older people.

B.The longer life and good health of people.

C.The loss of taxes on older people.

D.The increasing respect for older people.

14.It is stated directly in the passage that older people should .

A.be treated differently in different cultures

B.enjoy a similar lifestyle

C.be ignored as society changes

D.be valued by the younger generations

15.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population aging problem?

A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B.Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C.Providing free health care for sick older people.

D.Supplying lifelong learning programs to older people.
