Every week, tw cnverted blue buses packed with children’s bks carefully drive alng the streets f Kabul, aviding areas where deadly explsins are cmmn. These travelling libraries stp ff at schls in different parts f the city, delivering a wealth f reading material directly t yungsters wh have limited access t bks.
“A lt f schls in ur city dn’t have access t smething as basic as a library,” says Freshta Karim, a 27-year-ld Oxfrd University graduate wh was inspired t start Charmaghz, a nn-prfit rganizatin, in her hme city having grwn up withut many bks herself. “We were trying t understand what we culd d t prmte critical thinking in ur cuntry.”
While fr many peple a bus r train jurney presents a rare pprtunity t get stuck int a bk, in sme cities public transprt is being used as means f getting bks t cmmunities that need them mst. Afghanistan, fr example, has ne f the wrld’s lwest literacy rates, with nly three in 10 adults able t read, accrding t UNESCO. The majrity f public schls in Kabul d
nt have libraries and the city’s libraries d nt ffer many children’s bks. Fr Karim, buses were a cst-effective, efficient way t get bks t children.
Charmarghz rents them frm a state-wned bus cmpany. “We g t nearby schls,” she says. “We try t stp inside cmmunities rather than n the main streets where explsins ften happen.” The rganizatin is funded by dnatins frm lcal business and cmmunities, and als rents a third bus that acts as a mbile cinema. Over 600 children visit the buses each day t read, scialize and play games. “They are ften very excited,” she says. “Our biggest challenge is that s many
children want t cme inside the bus, but we can’t have all f them in ne day.”
Why des Freshta Karim set up the rganizatin?
T raise mney fr the pr.
T recycle abandned buses.
T build libraries fr the lcal schls.
T ffer the children mre reading pprtunities.
What is special abut Charmarghz?

C. It buys buses frm a cmpany.D. It aims t inspire critical thinking.
What is the mst urgent prblem fr Charmarghz?
Deadly explsins.B. Pr public transprt system.
C. Shrtage f travelling libraries.D. Lack f supprt frm the gvernment.
Which f the fllwing best describes Freshta Karim?

Psing fr a picture and flashing the V sign may expse yur fingerprints, giving criminals an pprtunity t steal yur imprtant infrmatin.
Researchers with the Natinal Institute f Infrmatics in Japan successfully gt fingerprint infrmatin frm a picture during an experiment, even thugh the subject was phtgraphed frm three meters away, accrding t the newspaper.
“Once yu share them n scial media then they’re gne. Unlike a passwrd, yu can’t change yur fingers.”
Bimetric(生物统计的)security is reaching the mainstream with mre than 50 percent f mbile phnes set t include fingerprint recgnitin fr the first time in 2017. The technlgy is als used in immigratin cntrl and fr access t high-security cntrlled areas.
Phts that include bth peple's faces and fingers run a higher risk f revealing persnal infrmatin, and the risk fr celebrities is even higher.
Chinese experts in fingerprint identificatin cnfirmed the pssibility. "Technically, we can use high-definitin vide cameras t btain peple's fingerprints," said Dr. Yin Desen f the First Institute f the Ministry f Public Security. He als said that peple's external features are easily recrded. Hwever, cmpared t vide, it is mre difficult t btain fingerprints thrugh just ne pht.
Accrding t experts, criminals are able t use cunterfeit fingerprints t cmmit crimes such as stealing fingerprint passwrds and signing agreements. Yin warned that peple shuld pay mre attentin when they leave fingerprints r use them as passwrds.
What is the difference between passwrds and fingerprints?
Passwrds can be changed.
It is simple t recgnize fingerprints.
Fingerprints have a higher security level.
Passwrds depend n users’ experience.
Which f the fllwing statements is nt mentined as the use f bimetric security?
Fingerprint recgnitin.
Immigratin cntrl.
Vehicle identificatin.
High-security cntrlled area.
What des the underlined wrd “cunterfeit” prbably mean in the last paragraph?
Reliable.B. False.C. Genuine.D. Unique.
What can we infer frm the text?
Peple shuld use passwrds.
All the phts run a high risk f expsing persnal infrmatin.
Passwrds can be mre easily stlen than fingerprints.
It’s easier t give away infrmatin f fingerprints thrugh vide.

Mr. Fang is nw the wner f 56 greenhuses prducing rganic vegetables in the Gbi desert in Nrthwest China’s Gansu prvince. He is ne f the beneficiaries f the Gbi Farming Prgram f Gansu prvince that is building rws f greenhuses in the desert t help transfrm lcal farming and reduce pverty.
Grain prductin in Gansu is greatly affected by the climate and the utput is unstable. Agricultural prductin there relies heavily n rivers, and grundwater irrigatin( 灌溉). If traditinal agricultural prductin cntinued, it culd gradually narrw the living space.
In 1995, a lcal cmpany risked using Israeli technlgies t build greenhuses fr vegetables grwing in the desert. Such individual pilt prjects encuraged the Gansu gvernment t launch a prvincial-level Gbi farming prgram in 2017 with a target t build up a cntrlled-envirnment agriculture f abut 20,000 hectares by 2022. Sme cities in the prvince, which include Fang’s village, have already been experimenting with Gbi farming fr several years.
Despite the harsh envirnment, farming in the Gbi desert has its advantages: the extended amunt f sunlight prvides adequate energy fr crps, a significant temperature difference between day and night helps crps accumulate(积累) nutrients and the Gbi’s ht and dry air means fewer pests and crp diseases. New technlgies f irrigatin can cut water cnsumptin by almst 50 percent cmpared t a nrmal farm. The greenhuses are als ec-friendly, as they use recycled materials fr silless cultivatin(无土栽培).
With the greenhuses, Fang earns arund 70, 000 yuan annually. Data frm Suzhu, district f Jiuquan shwed the greenhuse prgram has helped bring an average prfits f abut $ 72,500 per hectare t lcal farmers. Large scale greenhuse farming is an investment-intensive prject and cannt be sustained nly by gvernment financial supprt. Therefre, the lcal gvernment has been encuraging villagers such as Fang t take the lead t rent greenhuses r build their wn.
It is nt an easy task, and many villagers still want t wait and see. Hwever, mre and mre are starting t jin in, either t run their wn greenhuses r wrk as hired wrkers fr greenhuse wners. Starting frm managing fur greenhuses in 2009, Fang nw is als a partner f a greenhuse farming cperative running 120 greenhuses.
The relatively lw cst f large-scale land use in the Gbi desert has als encuraged large firms t start their Gbi farming pilt prjects in Gansu. If the Gbi farming prves successful, it culd prvide experience fr cuntries in Central Asia linked with Gansu by the ancient Silk Rad as well as its mdern versin f the Belt and Rad Initiative.
What affects grain prductin in Gansu mst?
Mney.B. Sunlight.C. Air.D. Water. 33.What des the Gbi Farming Prgram aim t d?
Change the lcal climate.
Make the lcal residents rich.
Prtect the traditinal agricultural prductin.
Help university students start their wn business. 34.What can we infer frm the text?
The harsh envirnment is gd fr crps.
At first, Fang nly ran fur greenhuses.
With the greenhuses, Fang earns arund $ 70,000 annually.
Mr. Fang nw wns 120 greenhuses prducing rganic vegetables. 35.What can be the best title fr the text?
The Belt and Rad Initiative
A Great Adventurer — Mr. Fang
The Gbi Farming Prgram f Gansu
The Advantages f Farming in the Gbi Desert

The first day that Devi went with her class t the pl, she had n idea what she was in fr. What culd be s difficult abut swimming? Devi cnfidently slipped int the water and held nt the side f the pl, expecting t be able t tuch the bttm with her feet. But when Devi let g f the side f the pl, she slipped under the water—the whle pl was ne big deep end! Devi threw
her arm tward the side f the pl and grabbed the ledge (池壁), ut f breath. “I really can’t swim! Everyne’s ging t laugh at me!” she thught t herself in a panic.
On the next field trip t the pl, Devi sat n the side n a bench, numb with fear. She huddled with a twel ver her shulders, t embarrassed t try again. When she came hme, her mther nticed right away that Devi was upset. “Hney, I’ve signed yu up fr Angela’s swimming lessns at the lcal pl. Sn yu’ll learn hw t swim just like everyne else,” she assured Devi, shwing phts f Angela with her prize-winning students.
