Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.

A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.

This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.

We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the

greater production of common energy sources(能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.

Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地).

In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.

Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop.

One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.

1.The writer tells about the "special houses" because they __________

A. show the excellent skills of the builders

B. serve as an example of energy conservation

C. are heated by different sources of energy

D. are warmer than other types of houses

2.The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean________

A. renewable source B. underground source

C. heat inside the earth D. temperature of the earth

3.At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃?

A. One km. B. Two km.

C. Three km. D. Four km.

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.

The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.

Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.

Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.

Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.

So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.

1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?

A. 30 minutes. B. 60 minutes.

C. 90 minutes. D. 120 minutes.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.

B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children because they have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.

C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a day playing outside.

D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.

3.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.

B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.

C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.

D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.
