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.

A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Development Media Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit (轨道)
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population are 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.

六、阅读表达根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(答语不超过7个字)
Sixteen is a special age in the United States. There’s often a special celebration for a girl’s 16th birthday---a big party called Sweet-16. It is like a wedding party in the number of guests and gifts handed out.
About a month before the party, the girl’s family sends out invitations to the guests. They must buy a special present for the birthday girl and the girl guests find good dresses to wear. A sweet-16 present usually costs $40 to $60. This is about $20 more than the usual-cost of a birthday present.
The party itself is not held at someone’s house. The hostess rents(租赁) a reception hall for the event. Food, cake and a DJ are provided. Around 6 o’clock, guests arrive and meet the birthday girl. Then the girl and her father have a special father-daughter dance. After that, guests dance for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Then there is the most important part of the Sweet-16 party, the candle-lighting ceremony. The sweet-16 hostess stands behind 16 unlit(未点燃的) candles and dedicates(献给) each candle to her friends, family, and anything that she feels is important to her. A lot of crying and hugging goes on at this time.
Afterwards, people sit and eat. Most guests begin leaving around 11 o’clock.
This school year, I have been to two Sweet-16s. I am one of the youngest students in my grade (My birthday is in December). I’ll have to wait another year before I can have my own special Sweet-16 party. I can’t wait for it!
