A

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did

everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through

letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼)

and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,

and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped

“Address (地址) Unknown. 〞 I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness

of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness

when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart

that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young

woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —

Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,〞 I thought,

but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!〞 she said

excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. 〞

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the

empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and

I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

There was an old woman who liked to bake(烘焙) cookies. She didn’t

have anyone to share them with, so she just gave them away to the children

in the neighborhood. This went on for several years and the cookies became

quite popular, especially at Christmas time. The parents began to like

the cookies as much as the children did, and the old woman’s kitchen

became very busy, so the children came to help.

Then one Christmas the old woman became ill. There were no cookies,

and there was no money to pay the doctor. The children were very sad.

Later they had a bright idea, that is, to bake cookies from the old

woman’s recipe(食谱). So the children started a cookie store. Soon they

had a very good cookie business, with money to pay the doctor as well

as to put in the bank.

After the old woman got well, she was asked to be the manager of the

store, selling special cookies for all the holidays of the year. After

the old woman died, the children, now grown up, kept the cookie business alive in her name. Maybe life is like a Christmas cookie. The more you

share it with your friends, the more you are likely to enjoy it.

When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many

people the answer is simple, as they can go online to a search engine

like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped(欠兴旺) areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?

A business and international development professor in California, Rose

Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service

that provides answers—free of charge—for people who cannot search the

Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might

not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.

Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call

box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman

explained, “You just need to push a big green button on the box which

will connect you directly to people who are sitting in front of computers,

and speak your language. You can ask them any kind of question you want,

and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main

language is, and translate the answer back for you.〞

In April 2021, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty

community(社区) workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call

center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling

people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.〞 But

Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local

server (效劳器). That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly

search the database(数据库) for answers.

10. The best title for the passage is __________.

A. Question Box ----taking the place of the Internet

B. Needing an answer? ----asking Question Box

C. Question Box ----A great joke in the world

D. Rose Shuman----- A professor helping the poor

11. In Rose Schuman’s opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box

is that ______.

A. It is the most popular in the world B. It is more

comfortable to carry

C. It is much easier to use D. it saves much more energy

12. What can we know from the passage?

A. Question Box is more useful in solving problems in underdeveloped

areas.

B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language.

C. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.

D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.
