More and more dancers were knocked out. I was still there with my friends. Then we were asked to do a jeté en l’air (41): stand on one leg, kick the other one up and out as close to a split as possible, and then do a turn in the air. Hopefully, you’d land on both feet.

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzhemier’s—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.
He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.
My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a
while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.

One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone（无人机） into a remote-controlled pollinator（授粉媒介） by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees—but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.
Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t
dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high Miyako said.
v iscosity,”
The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen（花粉）. He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from
one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.
The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.
Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.
What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?
A. Hardness. B. Stickiness. C. Flexibility. D. Purity.
We can learn from the passage that .
bees disrupt both agriculture and economy
scientists have invented self-powered robot insects
bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction
Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance
A drone works best in picking up pollen when .
its body is made like a bee’s
its GPS works more efficiently
some flowers are coated with the gel
horsehairs with the gel are attached to it
According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones .
are not yet ready for practical use
may eventually replace bees in the future
are much more efficient than bee pollinators
can provide a solution to economic depression

“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.
Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means we should acknowledge that we're probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.
The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions ( 错 觉 ) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding – and the more easily we can recall
an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites
that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they
recognise that their own opinions might not be valid.
At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias – the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully.
The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people tum into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes.
The passage is mainly about .
the harm arrogance does to us
the key elements to a fulfilling life
the significance of intellectual humility
the way people access information online
Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it .
enables people to think critically
offers too much unreliable information
allows easy access to abundant information
makes it hard for people to recall information
According to Para. 4, intellectually humble people .
value others’ opinions more than their own
use online information to better themselves
are unwilling to show their strengths
prefer to solve difficult problems
The author will probably agree that .
intellectual arrogance is the result of evolution
intellectually arrogant people often lack team spirits
successful people are often unaware of their limitations
circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people

Financial Education-Awareness Dilemma
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. (66) Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all. as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
(67) The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to
plan for their retirement. (68)
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this
financial ignorance is very high. (69)
What is the solution? (70) Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
Financial education must start early.
However, they miss an important point.
Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.

第二节：：One possible version:
Last week, together with my classmates, I organized a meaningful activity with the theme “Say No to White Pollution”.
One evening, while I was reading a newspaper, a piece of news on white pollution caught my eye. The seriousness of this issue left me wondering what I should do as a citizen of the earth.
During a class break the next day, I shared the news with some of my classmates. We all agreed that something must be done to make a change, no matter how trivial it might seem. After a thorough discussion, we set our plan for a 2-day campaign and made some necessary preparations.
Last weekend, our plan became reality. At the front gate of Hongxing Community, we promoted the idea of environmental protection. Meanwhile, we gave out eco-friendly bags to passers-by, hoping that the bags could serve as a daily reminder of the green life we advocated. Impressed with our efforts, they all promised to do as best as they could to avoid white pollution.
Before the activity came to an end, I was interviewed by BTV, which meant I could make our message heard by a much larger crowd of people. What a pleasant surprise! While introducing what we had done, I couldn’t help but to picture the day when this issue is finally solved with every individual’s effort. The earth will surely be a better place then.

M: Good morning everyone. I’m Jacob, president of the College Environmental Awareness Club. Thank you for volunteering! We’re coming down to the lake to help with the cleaning-up project. We’ll work in teams. The first team will pick up litter in the picnic areas, hopefully we can make it more pleasant for people to have a picnic; the second team will do it along the jogging paths. Do not forget the bushes on both sides. A local business has donated these “Do Not Litter” signs to us. So the rest will set them up around the lake. I hope with our joint efforts, we can make the area one of the most appealing places in the town. If I have made myself clear, let’s get started!

M: I got stopped by the police this morning.
W:?Oh, my God. What for?
M:?I followed an ambulance too close. Usually you have to keep a car length behind the front car, in case, you know, accidents happen. And I, at that point …I was probably only a few inches away from an ambulance; and behind me was a police car. But I didn’t know that—it didn’t have the lights. W: Oh, a ghost car. M: Yes. Or an unmarked car. W:?Oh, that’s unfair.
M:?You bet! And the officer in it was mad.?
W:?Poor you!
M:?But?I got lucky. Even though he was mad, he didn’t give me a ticket.
W:?Yeah. Sometimes they let you off. They gave you, what was it? A warning?
M:?Aha. W:?I see. And it goes on record that you’ve been warned about this. But they don’t actually give you a fine.
M:?Yeah. He kept track of it for sure.

W: I often hear my friends say their intelligence changes in different times of the year. I’m of the same feeling, too. Have you ever heard about it? M: I am so glad you asked. I actually have read a research on it. It was done by a famous scientist, Huntington. It says that for most people, the intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in spring than you are at any other time of the year. After more than three years’ research and analysis, Huntington drew this conclusion based on this research on hundreds of people in different climates. According to him, climate and temperature have a definite effect on people’s mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. That does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be the lowest in summer. W: Wow! I’d love to read that research myself!

Good morning, everyone, welcome. Today we will talk about some Nobel Prize winner. The first one is Kailash Satyarthi, that’s K-A-I-L-A-S-H. Not a familiar name, right? He is the guy who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. He has been campaigning against child slavery for years. He is from India and first became aware of the problem of children working when he was 6 and noticed that a boy younger than himself had to spend all day polishing shoes and was unable to go to school. When he was 11, he began to collect money to help buy textbooks for other children, and when he was 26 he gave up his job as an electrical engineer to fight child slavery in India, by doing things like raiding factories where children were forced to work, making rugs or glass bottles. He has saved many thousands of children, over 80,000, from a terrible life of enforced labour in South Asia and helped them to get educated. I believe that the best thing he has done is to change what people think about child slavery and to make it an international issue.

More and more dancers were knocked out. I was still there with my friends. Then we were asked to do a jeté en l’air (41): stand on one leg, kick the other one up and out as close to a split as possible, and then do a turn in the air. Hopefully, you’d land on both feet.

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzhemier’s—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.
He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.
My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a
while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.

One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone（无人机） into a remote-controlled pollinator（授粉媒介） by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees—but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.
Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t
dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high Miyako said.
v iscosity,”
The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen（花粉）. He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from
one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.
The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.
Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.
What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?
A. Hardness. B. Stickiness. C. Flexibility. D. Purity.
We can learn from the passage that .
bees disrupt both agriculture and economy
scientists have invented self-powered robot insects
bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction
Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance
A drone works best in picking up pollen when .
its body is made like a bee’s
its GPS works more efficiently
some flowers are coated with the gel
horsehairs with the gel are attached to it
According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones .
are not yet ready for practical use
may eventually replace bees in the future
are much more efficient than bee pollinators
can provide a solution to economic depression

“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.
Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means we should acknowledge that we're probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.
The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions ( 错 觉 ) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding – and the more easily we can recall
an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites
that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they
recognise that their own opinions might not be valid.
At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias – the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully.
The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people tum into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes.
The passage is mainly about .
the harm arrogance does to us
the key elements to a fulfilling life
the significance of intellectual humility
the way people access information online
Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it .
enables people to think critically
offers too much unreliable information
allows easy access to abundant information
makes it hard for people to recall information
According to Para. 4, intellectually humble people .
value others’ opinions more than their own
use online information to better themselves
are unwilling to show their strengths
prefer to solve difficult problems
The author will probably agree that .
intellectual arrogance is the result of evolution
intellectually arrogant people often lack team spirits
successful people are often unaware of their limitations
circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people

Financial Education-Awareness Dilemma
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. (66) Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all. as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
(67) The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to
plan for their retirement. (68)
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this
financial ignorance is very high. (69)
What is the solution? (70) Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
Financial education must start early.
However, they miss an important point.
Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.

第一节：One possible version:
How is your preparation for the finals going? I am so excited to learn that you are planning to travel to another city with rich history and culture in China. After careful consideration, I have decided to recommend Xi’an to you.
Your journey to Xi’an will be one of ancient wonders. As the capital city for 13 dynasties, it is home to countless historic relics – the Terra-cotta Warriors, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda and many others. I am sure a history lover like you will not be disappointed. Xi’an is also a wonderland for you to explore the fascinating art and culture of the East. There, you can experience the raw energy of Qinqiang Opera and the beauty of calligraphy on stone tablets.
If you decide to travel to Xi’an, here are a few tips for you. You can choose a hotel near the Ancient City Wall, which provides both good views and convenient transportation. What’s more, the bustling Snack Street in the downtown is a must for tourists with its incredible variety of local snacks.
I am sure you will enjoy yourself in this historic city! If you have further questions, ask me anytime.
第二节：：One possible version:
Last week, together with my classmates, I organized a meaningful activity with the theme “Say No to White Pollution”.
One evening, while I was reading a newspaper, a piece of news on white pollution caught my eye. The seriousness of this issue left me wondering what I should do as a citizen of the earth.
During a class break the next day, I shared the news with some of my classmates. We all agreed that something must be done to make a change, no matter how trivial it might seem. After a thorough discussion, we set our plan for a 2-day campaign and made some necessary preparations.
Last weekend, our plan became reality. At the front gate of Hongxing Community, we promoted the idea of environmental protection. Meanwhile, we gave out eco-friendly bags to passers-by, hoping that the bags could serve as a daily reminder of the green life we advocated. Impressed with our efforts, they all promised to do as best as they could to avoid white pollution.
Before the activity came to an end, I was interviewed by BTV, which meant I could make our message heard by a much larger crowd of people. What a pleasant surprise! While introducing what we had done, I couldn’t help but to picture the day when this issue is finally solved with every individual’s effort. The earth will surely be a better place then.

M: Good morning everyone. I’m Jacob, president of the College Environmental Awareness Club. Thank you for volunteering! We’re coming down to the lake to help with the cleaning-up project. We’ll work in teams. The first team will pick up litter in the picnic areas, hopefully we can make it more pleasant for people to have a picnic; the second team will do it along the jogging paths. Do not forget the bushes on both sides. A local business has donated these “Do Not Litter” signs to us. So the rest will set them up around the lake. I hope with our joint efforts, we can make the area one of the most appealing places in the town. If I have made myself clear, let’s get started!

M: I got stopped by the police this morning.
W:?Oh, my God. What for?
M:?I followed an ambulance too close. Usually you have to keep a car length behind the front car, in case, you know, accidents happen. And I, at that point …I was probably only a few inches away from an ambulance; and behind me was a police car. But I didn’t know that—it didn’t have the lights. W: Oh, a ghost car. M: Yes. Or an unmarked car. W:?Oh, that’s unfair.
M:?You bet! And the officer in it was mad.?
W:?Poor you!
M:?But?I got lucky. Even though he was mad, he didn’t give me a ticket.
W:?Yeah. Sometimes they let you off. They gave you, what was it? A warning?
M:?Aha. W:?I see. And it goes on record that you’ve been warned about this. But they don’t actually give you a fine.
M:?Yeah. He kept track of it for sure.

W: I often hear my friends say their intelligence changes in different times of the year. I’m of the same feeling, too. Have you ever heard about it? M: I am so glad you asked. I actually have read a research on it. It was done by a famous scientist, Huntington. It says that for most people, the intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in spring than you are at any other time of the year. After more than three years’ research and analysis, Huntington drew this conclusion based on this research on hundreds of people in different climates. According to him, climate and temperature have a definite effect on people’s mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. That does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be the lowest in summer. W: Wow! I’d love to read that research myself!

Good morning, everyone, welcome. Today we will talk about some Nobel Prize winner. The first one is Kailash Satyarthi, that’s K-A-I-L-A-S-H. Not a familiar name, right? He is the guy who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. He has been campaigning against child slavery for years. He is from India and first became aware of the problem of children working when he was 6 and noticed that a boy younger than himself had to spend all day polishing shoes and was unable to go to school. When he was 11, he began to collect money to help buy textbooks for other children, and when he was 26 he gave up his job as an electrical engineer to fight child slavery in India, by doing things like raiding factories where children were forced to work, making rugs or glass bottles. He has saved many thousands of children, over 80,000, from a terrible life of enforced labour in South Asia and helped them to get educated. I believe that the best thing he has done is to change what people think about child slavery and to make it an international issue.
