• 1．Jose Adolfo is a banker from Peru.He encourages children to save money and offers his customers cash for recycling plastic wastes.But the remarkable thing is that he is still a child himself.
     By the age of 7，he decided to create a bank for children.He was motivated by seeing his classmates skipping lunch because they had spent the little money they had on sweets or footballcards.What drove him even more was the poverty he saw among children.
     With the support of a local company，the 14-year-old founded the Bartselana student bank which now has more than 2，000 customers between the ages of 10 and 18.Children can withdraw （提取） money from several cashpoints of the bank.They can also monitor their balances online.What makes it different from traditional banks is that it sets savings goals for children.They have to reach those goals in order to withdraw their money.
     The student bank really took off when he came up with the "Recycle Plan"，a new way for the children to earn money by collecting recyclable plastic or paper waste.Students can bring recyclable plastic bottles，used school books and old newspapers to the schools and put them into the collecting boxes.The recycling is weighed and the money goes to their bank accounts.
     The bank recycles 4.4 tons of material a month and has collecting boxes in seven schools in Arequipa.More are on a waiting list.Increasingly the model is in demand in the rest of Peru and abroad.
     His efforts have been noticed by Peru's environment ministry. "He's making an amazing change in financial （理財(cái)?shù)模?education that perhaps many adults could not come up with，" said the Peru's environment minister，Lucia Ruiz. "He's achieving a double goal because he's not just designing a financial opportunity for children and teenagers but also helping to reduce waste in the country."

• 2．Like many inventions，language translators were imagined by writers long before they became real.In Hugo Gernsback's 1911 novel A Romance of the Year 2660，characters use a video telephone that can translate from one language to another.A language translator also appears in Murray Leinster's 1945 First Contact.In that story，humans and creatures from another planet made a translation device together after asking for contact with one anojye.air.The idea of the language translator didn't become truly popular，however，until the "universal translator" appeared in the 1970 Star Trek series，which delighted television viewers at that time.That device was universal in the sense that it could translate any language that it came across.
     The first real language translator was demonstrated（展示）by engineers from IBM company and Georgetown University in 1954.Their machine could only translate Russian sentences into English.
     Language translators have come a long way since then.Today，online translations can be accessed easily at no cost to users.With translation apps，users sometimes don't even have to look things up.All they need to do is point their cellphone's camera at some writing，and a translation immediately appears.If users want to translate something being said aloud，they just turn on their phone's microphone.All of these features save time and effort.
     Translation apps on phones make foreign travel much easier than before. They are invaluable and convenient when it comes to communicating with taxi drivers or hotel waiters who don't speak a traveler's native language.But these apps are far from perfect.Sometimes a translation makes no sense，forcing the user to guess what the translation means.At other times，the user might not know that the translation has failed until he or she shows it to a native speaker.
  
  （1）When was the idea of the language translator widely known？

  
  A．In 1911.
  B．In 1945.
  C．In 1970.
  D．In 1954.
  （2）We can infer from the text that

  .
  A．writers are usually cleverer than inventors.
  B．the idea of a language translator came from science stories.
  C．engineers made language translators to delight TV viewers.
  D．it took little effort for people to develop language translators.
  （3）What does the underlined word "they" refer to in paragraph 4？

  
  A．Translation apps.
  B．Users.
  C．Translations.
  D．Phones.
  （4）How does the writer conclude the text？

  
  A．By telling that online translation will change our life.
  B．By explaining that online translation has its weakness.
  C．By introducing how to use translation apps in travelling.
  D．By discussing why people should give up translation apps.
  （5）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．How do science stories become true？
  B．Can languages be translated into each other？
  C．How does a language translator develop？
  D．Why do we depend on language translators？

     （4）

  It can be as simple as asking about their day or commenting on the traffic. "First and foremost，small talk is an act of politeness，" Pegler noted.
     Who knows where this can lead？（5）
