1 . September 5 is the “Charity Day” in China. It started because of China’s charity law, which came into effect seven years ago. This year, China has witnessed how technology plays a bigger role in the country’s charity career.

There are over 85 million disabled people in China. With the development of technology in the country, more charity organizations and people have realized the importance of using it to help people in need.

Huang Shuai is the director of Chuangshan Community. He is running special projects to create mobile apps and provide help for people with physical challenges. “For a lot of disabled people, daily actions that are necessary in today’s world, like using a mouse, typing on keyboards or using smartphones, can be very hard to finish,” he said. In Chuangshan Community, many of the volunteers are middle school students. They try their best to solve the problem for people in local charity houses.

Tech professionals have realized that technology is a game changer in the world of charity. Tencent started a charity activity called “99 Giving Day” and set up programs for donations to deal with all kinds of challenges that cause problems for the local and international community. They’ve offered all kinds of tech kits (装备) and cloud services to many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) , local communities and colleges. Engineers can go and work as technology officers at NGOs and provide hands-on technology support.

Technologies, especially those that can be used by NGOs, and disabled people, will not only make our lives more convenient, but will also bring power and courage to people and connect our communities together.

B．Technology has entered people’s everyday life.

D．Many people can’t afford new technology.

2 . More and more people are using crowd-funding to pay for their projects and create new products. Crowdfunding is when a per-son or business gets many small payments from a large number of people. Usually, the way to do this is to use the Internet. In-stead of trying to get a few people to give thousands of dollars, you get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, to give a few dollars. But this is still not easy. You want people to see the value of your idea. How will you get them to give the dollars they earn to you?

*Successful projects are those that got the money they wanted.

There are websites that make this opportunity possible. Kickstarter and GoGet-Funding are popular. You create a short video to explain your project. The most important part is getting your message across. Just because you’ve made your idea known doesn’t mean you will get the money you need. You still need to sell your idea. Many people begin by explaining what the product is and then telling why people need it. For example, one of the most popular crowdfunded products is a watch. The Pebble watch connects with in-formation on a smartphone that will send information to the watch. More than 65,000 people gave money for this product.Crowdfunding raised $10.3 million for it.However, it’s not just products that people use crowdfunding for. People use it for their music, film, art, or writing projects.

Projects usually get from 25 to 40 per-cent of their money from crowdfunding sites. Who is giving all the money? When people need money, they often ask their friends and family. Crowdfunding often works the same way, but once you create your video and message, your friends share it with their friends. If you’ve created a message that people can connect to, you get many more people to give. Why do these people give? First, there is the “feel-good” factor. Giving money makes people feel good. Second, many small businesses offer rewards to people. Third, sometimes the reward is simply getting to use the product. And this is part of the success of crowdfunding. You could make a difference.

1. Where do people usually get crowdfunding?

A．In newspapers.	B．On the Internet.
C．On the streets.	D．In shopping centers.

2. Which project type is the least successful according to the Bar Graph?

A．Art.

B．Music.

C．Publishing.

D．Film and video.

3. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．People use crowdfunding only for products.

B．The Pebble watch sends information to the smartphone.

C．You can post a short video for crowd-funding on Kickstarter.

D．You will get the money you need once you get your message across.

4. People give money to crowdfunding projects because of the reasons EXCEPT        .

A．They feel great	B．They will receive praise
C．They can use the product	D．They will get some rewards

5. What’s the main purpose of the text?

A．To give advice on crowdfunding.	B．To persuade people to give money.
C．To help people to get more money.	D．To give an introduction to crowd-funding.

3 . The kids of the community got started early at the fair (露天游乐场) on Friday, making their way through the chicken house and corn box before heading over to the rides. The children enjoyed a few hours of free rides, sweets and food.

Organiser Barry Dishman said, “We started this programme 24 years ago. The reason we always have done Fair Day is that it’s a huge tradition for most Warren locals. So it has become a tradition for the children who couldn’t afford to go to the fair.” He added, “We usually get sponsorship (赞助) for those children every year, so they can do unlimited rides. Some of the food booths (摊位) are just wonderful and give us free meals for the children.”

The kids stayed from about 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. on Fair Friday and ended the day with either a free cotton candy or candy apple. About 125 children came to the fair to take part in various festivities, such as ball games, dancing and riding. Over 20 volunteers were present to help lead the kids in groups.

The kids of the community have programmes throughout the year after school, on Saturdays, on school vacation. According to Dishman, the children coming to the fair spend about 30, 000 hours in June and July with the programmes.
