26、   The World Declaration on Education for All (1990)(《全民教育世界宣言》) was mainly about how necessary it is to provide education for all children, youth and adults. It meets their needs and useful skills to their lives. They believe that good quality education, provided by trained teachers, is the right of all children, youth and adults. The basic skills, knowledge, values and attitudes should be included. What's more, creative thinking, problem solving and lifelong learning abilities are also important.

Teachers are important for improving learning. People all know this. They have a powerful influence on the quality of student learning. However, many countries, especially the developing countries, are short of qualified(合格的) teachers—in 1/3 of countries with data, less than 3/4 of teachers are trained to national standards. By 2030, 28 countries will not have enough primary school teachers and over 3.4 million new primary teachers will be needed. Also, teachers are paid poorly. Teacher payment is below US$10 per day in 8 countries.

Quality learning is important and necessary for meeting people's basic needs. It's also necessary for development of the countries. All young people need to learn in active ways. However, 124 million of the children across the world are out of school and 250 million are not learning basic skills as a result of poor quality education. According to a research, 38% of children are not learning the basics in reading and math. And over one-half of them have spent 4 years in school.

Luckily, many countries have realized the importance of quality education and pay great attention to it. There are even some organizations trying to help girls, children with disabilities and children living in poor areas to get an education.

27、   From deserts（沙漠）and beaches to playgrounds， we can find sand everywhere. But you might not know that sand is also useful.

"Sand is the second most-used things in the world after water，" the BBC reported. However， the UN said we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock ， soil and minerals（矿物质）. It can take tens of thousands of years to form（形成）. But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC， we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses， roads and other things. That 's enough to build a 20-meter-high and 20-meter-wide wall around the equator（赤道）every year.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore， for example， is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai， United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

"If people keep using so much sand， it will run out in many places. For example ， Vietnam may run out of construction（建造）sand by 2020"， Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand， they are trying to mine（开采）more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also ，this may affect the habitats（栖息地）of many plants and animals.

【1】From the story ， we know sand___.

A.can only be found on beaches B.is the most-used things in the world

【2】How is Singapore becoming bigger?

B.People build more roads in Singapore.

C.People put sand in the sea to make new islands.

D.People try to mine more sand.

【3】How many tons of sand do we use every year?

A.About 9 ，400 ，000. B.About 2 ，000 ，000 ，000.

C.About 2 ，000 ，000. D.About 15 ，000 ，000 ，000.

【4】What is the reason more floods will happen in places close to the sea?

A.Over mining of sand. B.The weather there.

C..The increasing size of certain islands. D.The death of some plants.

【5】What does the writer want to tell us?

A.The UN said，" Sand is the second most-used things in the world after water.

B.We shouldn't over mine sand.

C.People took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build Singapore.

D.Sand is not being formed so quickly as we are using it.

28、   Do you speak emoji (表情符号)? If you use a smart phone, the 【1】 (answer) is probably yes. Emoji is a visual (视觉的) language. It can express ideas and feelings. Are you hungry? Let your friends know 【2】 sending them food emojis, like rice or pizza.

People use emoji a lot. One of the 【3】 (popular) emojis is the face with tears of joy. It 【4】 (use) more than 1.8 billion times on Twitter.

Emoji is modern, 【5】 the idea is old. History shows that we've used symbols as language for about 5, 000 years. One of the oldest 【6】 (example) of visual language is Egyptian hieroglyphs (象形文字). Ancient Egyptians 【7】 (begin) using language symbols around 3250 B.C, according to John Darnell. He is 【8】 expert from Yale University.

Who invented emoji? In 1999, the Japanese company NTT Docomo took a heart picture off from its mobile system. As a result, it lost many customers. So Shigetaka Kurita, a designer (设计师), put the heart back. And he made more pictures. He called 【9】 (they) emoji, the Japanese word for picture characters.

Some people still do not see emoji as a language, but it does improve our 【10】 (communicate). Don't you think so?
