Since 2005,the number of Internet users worldwide has doubled to more than one and a half billion. At least two billion are expected to be online by the end of this I year.

In Africa,only 10% of the population is using the Internet-Less than 16% of homes in developing countries are con- nected to the Internet. But,on the other hand,mobile phone usage has reached 68% in developing countries. The world has almost seven billion people. Nine out I of ten are connected to mobile networks. Most of them are in the developing world. More and more people in developing countries are using their mobile phones to con-I nect to the Internet.
Mobile technology is already improving lives in developing countries. People can bank by phone,enjoy e-health services and so on. And people can enjoy more as broadband (宽带) ,or high-peed connections become more widely available.
ITU Secretary General Hamadoun Toure believes broadband is the most powerful tool available in the race to meet the Development Goals by 2015.

Public Speaking and Critical Thinking What is critical thinking? To a certain degree,if s a matter of logic (逻辑) 一of being able to spot weaknesses in other peopled arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.
In the broad sense,critical thinking is focused,organised thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers,scientists,and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That,too,is critical thinking.
72 As the class goes on,for example,you will probably spend a good deal of time organising your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical (
械的) exercise,it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused,
chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If,on the other hand,the structure is clear,there
is a good chance your thinking is too. Organising a
speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 73
What is true of organisation is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear,accurate language,you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class,you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class,you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.
A. Rather,it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.
B. This may seem like a lot of time,but the rewards are well worth it.
C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.
D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world,only reorganised ideas.
E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class,the answer is quite a lot.
F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.
G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking,you will see how they can beused in other forms of communication as well.

Confucius (551—497 BC) was a thinker,educator,and founder of the Ru School for Chinese thought.
He was a well-known leader in philosophy and he also made many wise phrases and theories about the law,life,and the government that helped many people learn about nature,the world,and human beings.
Confucius's social philosophy largely centres around the concept of ‘‘ ren ”,which is “ loving others ” and
‘‘ honouring one's parents”. Those who have developed “ren” are “simple in manner and slow of speech”. For Confucius,such concern for others is proved through the practice of the Golden Rule :u What you do not wish for yourself,do not do to others. ”
Confucius thinks a good ruler is to have “de” or virtuewhich allows one to win peopled support without using any force and keep good order in his state without troubling himself,and that a ruler should rule his people by his own example and treat them with love and concern.
A characteristic of Confucius's thoughts is his emphasis (强调) on education and study. u A good teacher is someone who knows well the ways of the past and the practices of the ancients ” and he also thinks “ He who leams but does not think is lost. He who thinks biit does not learn is in great danger”.
Confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy;these were handed down only through his students. a book compiled (编撰) by some of his students,is considered the most dependable source of information about his life and teachings. One of the historical works that he is said to have compiled and edited,The Spring and Autumn Annals,is describing Chinese history in the state of Lu from 722 BC to 481 B C.

Through history,children have played with toys and they help to prepare children for adult life. But the toys are changing all the time. As science and technology have changed the way adults live,the toys children play with have changed as well. Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with. Today trains and mobile phones are popular toys for young children,but there were no toys of this kind before real trains and mobile phones were invented. The materials that toys are made of have also changed. Today lots of toys are made of plastic. Plastic is a modem,man-made material that did not exist (存在) in the past.
On the other hand,some other toys that you have might not be all that different from the ones children played with 1 ,000 years ago.
Scientists have found some bone dice (骰子) in Aberdeen. In medieval (中世纪的) times dice were used for playing games as much as they are today.
A recent survey found that half of all the children aged from 4 to 6 have played video games,a quarter of them regularly. The increasing use of electronic toys troubles Dr Singer,a professor at Yale. <4One thing we know is that kids in early years need to be in touch with the real world,” he said. “No matter how brilliant they are,they’re not going to learn to walk,to move or to talk to others unless their hands or feet have a direct role in such activities. ”
Some toy experts argue that the best toys are the ones that increase a child's creativity and imagination. Traditional toys can be used for different kinds of purposes and Ge used in group settings,individually (单 方虫地) ,and one-to-one. They are also used differently depending on the child's age and skill level. And these toys made of natural materials are valuable for children because they teach children what the world is made of.
