25、When 82-year-old Masako Wakamiya first began working, she still used an abacus（算盘） for maths. But today she is one of the world's oldest iPhone app developers.

"As you age, you lose many things: your husband, your job, your hair, your eyesight. Life seem boring. But when you learn something new, such as programming or playing the piano, it will become meaningful.” She said.

She became interested in computers in the 1990s when she retired from her job as a bank clerk. It took her months to set up her first system before she built her skills on a Microsoft PC, Apple’s Mac and iPhones.

Soon after, Masako developed “Hinadan” --- one of Japan’s first app games for the elderly. The tasks in the game require a good memory—that’s a brain challenge for users. Therefore, “Hinadan” is well-received in Japan and it has already been downloaded 42,000 times. Hundreds of the users think highly of it.

The achievement has brought Masako much popularity. Apple once invited her to attend their Worldwide Developers Conference where she was oldest app creator present. Mr. Cook, the CEO of apple, praised Masako as “a source of inspiration”.

Masako says that programming is difficult, but she is sure that many old people can learn.

“Most old people have given up learning, but in fact, learning is really good for them.” said Masako, who also took up the piano at 75.

26、One day Peng Xianzhe learned he would go to the Mashan School in Guizhou. The 16-year-old boy tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes with water，or you will be punished（惩罚）. ”

Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.

Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.

The project idea came from Peng’s principal（负责人）. One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School，who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3，000 students made over 10，000 donations of water，books and clothes.

Peng and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.

Ding Zhentao，16，was worried about the school’s poor learning environment. “The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use，”Ding said. “Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. ”

Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度）towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.

“They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies,” Chen said. “You can see the passion(热情）in them. I believe it will make a difference. Their futures will be bright. ”

27、The Spanish flu also known as the 1918 Mu pandemic was a deadly pandemic in recent history. It spread worldwide during the year 1918—1919. The virus infected 500 million people about a third of the world’s population at the time.

The outbreak of the Spanish flu was caused by an HIN1 virus with genes of avian (禽类) origin. Historians now believe that World War I could have been partly responsible for spreading the virus. Lack of hygiene(卫生) and malnourishment(营养不良) may have also been responsible for weakening the immune system.

There is no agreement about the origin of the virus. The 1918 flu was first observed in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia before swiftly spreading around the world. It is believed that censorship(新闻审查制度) was the main reason why this pandemic was referred to as the Spanish flu. To maintain morale(斗志), World War I censors(审查官) reduced early reports of illness and death rate in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. However, because Spain wasn’t at war with any country, newspapers were free to report the epidemic’s effects in Spain, such as the serious illness of King Alfonso XIII. These stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name ‘Spanish flu’. Historical and epidemiological (流行病学的) data are not enough to identify with certainty the pandemic’s geographic origin, with varying views as to its location.

In 2015, nearly a century after the Spanish flu struck, the World Health Organization (WHO) called on scientists, national authorities and the media to follow best practices in naming new human infectious(传染性的) diseases to reduce unnecessary negative effects on nations, economies, and people. More modern terms for this virus include the “1918 influenza pandemic”, the “1918 flu pandemic”, or variations of these.

Unlike most influenza outbreaks that largely kill the very young and the very old, with a higher survival rate for those in between, the Spanish flu pandemic resulted in a higher than expected death rate for young adults. The death toll was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide, possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the severest pandemics in human history.

【1】What was the world’s population at the time of the 1918 flu pandemic?

A．Around 500 million.

B．About 1.5 billion.

C．At least 150 million.

D．As high as 3 billion.

【2】What is NOT believed to be responsible for the spread of the virus?

A．WWI.

B．Lack of hygiene.

C．Malnourishment.

D．Censorship.

【3】Why is there no agreement about the origin of the virus?

A．Because the flu was first found in more than one country.

B．Because the WWI censors tried to cover the truth.

C．Because of weak historical and epidemiological support.

D．Because stories in the Spanish media misted the people.

【4】What might be included in WHO’s best policies of naming a new human infectious disease?

A．Geographic locations.

B．General descriptions.

C．People’s names.

D．Cultural references.

【5】Which group of people was far more likely to be hit hard by the 1918 flu?

A．Young adults.

B．The very young.

C．The very old.

D．The gold and young.
