  A senior United Nations Children's Fund(UNICEF)official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children's welfare.A.H.M.Farook, UNICEF's operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China“can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”

  China's child population makes up one-fifth of the world's total.“The reason behind the tremendous(巨大的)achievement is China's long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said.

  “What's more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.”The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children's Welfare Home at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing.

  The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks, sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a“Share the Sunshine”party, as a prelude(前奏)to celebrations to mark the Children's Day.

  The Beijing children's Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.

  A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends 400-500 yuan a month for an average orphan.An average Chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.

  Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation(CYDF), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.

  She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.

  By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.

  Three“Hope Stars”also attended the party.They were model teenagers chosen among students who are economically supported by the Project Hope to further their nine-year compulsory studies in the poverty-stricken regions.They will be torchbearers for the Chinese Team for the up coming Atlanta Olympic Games this year.

  The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said good-bye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him.

  The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

  “No, sir,”the men answered.

  The director was angry.“Why not?”he asked.

  “Well, sir.”one of the men answered, “we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

  “But I want a sunset!”the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

  But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don't you photograph a sunrise,”she suggested,“and then play it backwards. It'll look like a sunset.”

  “That's a very good idea!”the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,“Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

  The camera crew went out early the next morning end filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾). Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director.“Here it is, sir.”they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

  They all went into the studio (摄影棚).“All right.”the director explained.“Now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset’behind them.”

  The“sunset”began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

  The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

  So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), and that’s just a small part of what probably exists on Earth.With so many plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is crawling up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by.

  A soon-to-be-launched Website might help.An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web-based Encyclopedia of Life(EOL).The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.

  To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist.And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join.Gardeners, for example, will be able to record the dates that their flowers first bloom each year.Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they’ve seen and where.The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available.

  As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects.The site will have special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods.To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it.People who visit the site will be able to choose to skip pages that haven’t been reviewed.

  Another convenient characteristic of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match your interests, age, and current knowledge.If you wanted to learn about polar bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the“novice”setting to get basic information about the animals.On the“expert”setting, on the other hand.you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of polar bears.

  It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process.

  Keep an eye on www.eol.org.Pages will begin to go up sometime next year, and you might find them useful for your school reports.The EOL team might have the basics for all 1.8 million entries online as early as 2017.Someday, you might add your own notes.

D.

You are not free to choose the amount of detailed information.

(3)
