20、lpHowever, its far from enoughWe have 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 countriesA man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electr

21、icityHe 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 shopsOne difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and wont be damaged easi

22、lyAs 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 and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machin

23、es in the first year of productionThe idea is that these computers will help the childrens education as they will be able to access the Internet.

29、s will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions28Where does this passage probably come from?AA novel BAn advertisement CA newspaper DA lectureC A recent trend in Californian restaurants shows new eating habits among those out to have an interesting dining experience. Appetizers

30、(开胃品) seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants, bars and cafes. In this way, in the course of an evening out, you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of

31、town, to a bar with some live music at the other end, then for a coffee, and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer. Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently, each with their own particular type of food and special atmo

32、sphere, combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days, when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza, creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on. Prices

33、 for appetizers are not equal to a full meal; however, their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly, for that special occasion, a meal in a nice restaurant, complete with the piano performance, is hard to beat. However, if we see that this trend for

34、 butterfly eating- moving around several different places in one evening - continues, then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well!29.

Charging more for food. D. Using healthier mixture.32. Appetizers used to be seen as_. A. cheap meal B. relative

37、ly important C. a full meal D. an expensive mealD Maybe you have ever seen a cross. A cross can be a piece of jewelry or an image ina painting. But do you know the cross is a very popular symbol for Christmas？ It came from the story of Jesus death on the cross two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. Je

38、sus was Jewish，and at that time Jewish people were under Roman rule. Jesus was badly punished because he declared to be the Son of God and the King of Jews. Surely，the Son of God could have saved himself from the death！But the Bible says that Jesus had a reason to die that day. It was in Gods purpos

39、e that it would happen. Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”. At first，it is hard to understand how a terrible day could ever be called good. Well，the story does not end there. Jesus died and he was buried. But three days later，Jesus was alive，and the whole world was changed.Today，C

40、hristians everywhere remember this important time. They celebrate Easter. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. After his death on the cross，Jesus body was placed in a tomb. On the third day from then，God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many p

41、eople saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven.

42、, though he did nothing wrong. Christian believe that Jesus was Gods substitute(代表) for humans， because humans all do wrong. He died because of humans and he died for humans. Christians often wear crosses around their necks or hang them in their homes because they believe it is a very important sign

43、. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them. It helps them remember how much his Son had to suffer.
