6 . Jakarta, Indonesia (AP)—When a garbage collector came to Ghina Ghaliya’s house in the Indonesian capital and asked if she had an old mobile phone that his children could use to access the Internet, it sparked (引发) an idea for a broader campaign to help students stuck at home by COVID-19.

“He said it does not matter if it is an ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home,” said Ghaliya, a journalist at a national newspaper.

Shortly after COVID-19 hit Indonesia, Ghaliya and 11 other journalists in Jakarta organized a group to provide food and money for people in need. They stared hearing from parents who wanted their children to be able to study online but lacked a way to access the Internet.

Ghaliya and the other journalists decided to shift（转移）their focus to providing mobile phones for underprivileged students, many of whom were still not allowed to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July.

They announced their campaign through social media and the response was strong, with some people donating(捐赠)second-hand units and others giving cash. So far, nearly 300 phones have been distributed to Indonesian students around Jakarta as well as to remote regions like Papua, the country’s most eastern province.

Khaissyah Levi, 16, is a high school student in Depok, who attends online classes in the morning. His father Deny Sayuti had been lending his mobile phone to him for his studies, but that meant Sayuti could only do his work as a motorcycle taxi driver for part of the day, missing out on peak times like the morning rush hour.

Sayuti worte to Ghaliya’s group in August, and his family received a mobile phone a month later. Sayuti believes that his son can now do better with his online studies. “Now I see him more comfortable, and he can directly reach out to his friends and teacher,” Sayuti said.

1. Why did the garbage collector ask Ghaliya for a mobile phone?

A．To play online games.	B．To send a text message.
C．To call police for help.	D．To help his son study online.

2. Which is the closest in meaning to the word “underprivileged” in paragraph 4?

A．Dependent.	B．Desperate.
C．Unfortunate.	D．Unhealthy.

3. What information can we get from the fifth paragraph?

A．People reacted coldly to Ghaliya’s campaign.

B．Papua is a less developed district in Indonesia.

C．Ghaliya’s group advertised a mobile phone brand.

D．Social media was not accepted by the Indonesians.

4. What’s the importance of a mobile phone for Deny Sayuti?

A．He depends on it for online learning.

B．It helps him much in making a living.

C．He contacts his son at school with it.

D．It guides him when traveling abroad.

Amanda just came home. When she turned on her computer, an email appeared on her screen. She was surprised to see it came from her friend brother. A feeling of fear passes through her but she ignored (不理会) it.

“It is probably nothing,” she said out loud as she opened email. The letter was such short that it had only five lines. He did not even use his usually greeting. He simply said that Bridget was injuring in a serious car accident. He would write again with more informations later. Amanda could not believe in her eyes. Bridget was a lively girl which always had something funny to say. Amanda’s eyes were filled with tears that would soon flow down their cheeks.
