Hello ,everyone!
Thank you very much for coming to this concert. I hope you have enjoyed the performance. As you may know, all the performers have given their time to help us.
This concert is to raise money for children in Africa. Every day hundreds of children in Africa die because they don’t have enough to eat. There are two reasons. First, there is no work for the children’s parents. Second, the governments in many African countries do not have the money to help the poor.
Most African countries are poor. The land is not good for growing food and the weather is also bad for farming. The Feed Africa Fund spends millions of dollars every year on food for poor people in Africa. This money comes from people like you---- kind, generous people who do not want to see children die from hunger.
Every dollar you give this evening will go to the Feed Africa Fund. Just one dollar can buy enough food to feed a family of four for three days. Think about it: only one dollar can feed four people for three days.
How much do you spend on food every day? Ten dollars? Twenty dollars? I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund.
Please be kind and generous! Give your money with a helping hand. Your money can make a difference in others’ life and yours. Thank you!

Doris has written a restaurant review on the Internet．
Excellent English food at the Country House
Last Saturday night，my family and I ate at the Country House．
The Country House serves traditional English food，we paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat
there．
The food was wonderful．The fish pie reminded me of my grandma．She used to cook it for me．I also
had some fish and chips，and it was fantastic．
The waiters were polite，but a little slow．We were seated at 7 p．m．，but we did not receive our food
until 7：40 p．m．
I would certainly recommend the Country House for good，traditional English food．However，you should get there early and be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for your food．

Do you always find it is raining when you walk out？Or are you always buying umbrellas and leaving them home when it rains？There is a new umbrella that could solve both problems．
The umbrella will not only tell you the weather，but also let you know you've left it behind．
How does it work？The umbrella will send a message to your smartphone．And it says"Hey，it's going to rain in 15 minutes where you are，so you'd better take your umbrella．"Besides，if you are forgetful，
you may never leave an umbrella on a bus or somewhere else again．The umbrella will send a warning to your smartphone if you leave it behind．
The new umbrella is expected to go on sale soon．
Though it is a good idea and it looks pretty cool，the umbrella will cost you ＄185．Maybe you will just check the free weather apps （应用程序） on your smartphone and take an umbrella with you when it is going to rain．
41．How many problems can the new umbrella solve？

43．Where will the new umbrella send a warning？

Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on，a study suggests．
For over 10 years，researchers from universities observed （观察） children in 100 schools from 25 countries．They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes．It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on．
"Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on，"said professor
Stephen Heppel，a lead researcher．
"The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair．And we've found that 95% of them really don't read on a chair at home，"Heppel added．"When they go on holidays，they read lying down．"
Professor Heppel hopes to bring the"shoeless policy"to all U．K．schools．He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home．He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit．
