6 . The nine women of Bella Mondo win over yet another audience. The group is one of just a handful of all-women ensembles (乐队) in Ivory Coast.
It all started in 2007, Prisca Allou was a music student. A music producer came to see her. He said he wanted to make an all-female ensemble to keep a promise to his late mother.
Allou got on board and was charged with recruiting (招募) other members. “It wasn’t easy at first. Some parents were against it. You know, in Africa, the place of women is often seen as being either in an office or at home. That was the fixed image.” Allou spread the word and took out ads in local papers. Most of the girls she found were not professional players. “I just played some tamtam. I learned to play drums when I joined Bella Mondo.” The girls spent the next four years learning to play their instruments. Many gave up along the way, but eight of them soldiered on with Allou, and Bella Mondo was founded.
The band plays original songs and covers. Their music spans a wide range of styles: funk, reggae, pop music. They released their first album in 2013... and have performed in Paris, Dakar, Cotonou and, of course, here at home in Abidjan.
You can see them nearly every Thursday at this bar, the same place that gave the band its start years ago. “Oh yes, I was surprised at first. A woman singing, you see that every day, but an entire band, playing all the instruments and everything? It was extraordinary. I was dumbstruck. Bella Mondo is a great band.” The women are now working on their second album.

9 . Changing the definition of a library
Now that the Internet provides us with direct access to all kinds of information, some people say we don't need public libraries.
Finnish designers have used the new concept of a useful public space.
Antti Nousjoki, one of Oodi's architects, said the idea is to make the place “an indoor town square.”
Of course, Oodi still serves as a traditional library, with a catalogue of about 100,000 books.
While most libraries around the world offer Internet access and other services, Finnish libraries often differ themselves in services, including access to e-publications, power tools and even karaoke.
“Oodi has been designed to give citizens and visitors a free space to actively do what they want to do —not just be a consumer," said Nousjoki.
| A．Oodi goes even further. |
| B．It attracts many visitors with each new month. |
| C．Oodi has many advantages over traditional libraries. |
| D．Since opening, Oodi lends out 5,000 books each day. |
| E．Library Oodi pushes the boundaries (边界) of what a library can be. |
| F．This may be why some public libraries are finding new ways to serve the public. |
| G．The building was designed without inner support columns(柱子), so the inside is mostly a large open space. |
10 . Earth Hour is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature. It's a big event usually at the end of March every year. On this evening, people “go dark”.

But on another level, a large number of people’s acting together sends a powerful message to governments and companies.
The logo(标识) of Earth Hour is “60+” .The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour.
| A．But this is only the beginning. |
| B．Earth Hour represents every hour of every day. |
| C．After all, everyone has to answer for what they have done. |
| D．Besides turning off the lights, people get involved in other events. |
| E．It pushes them to take urgent measures by making changes to policies. |
| F．That is, they switch off all unnecessary lights at the same time for one hour. |
| G．The plus invites people to continue their action even after Earth Hour is finished. |
