    　　As part of its ongoing effort to enlist children as the guardians(one who guards)of the future in the fight to save the earth’s environment, the United Nations ecological agency has announced its annual painting competition on the theme of deserts and desertification(沙漠化)．

    　　“Children are an important part of our world．They are our future and often they are our conscience．”Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the UN Environmental Program(UNEP)said．

    　　“Our children provide the inspiration, the enthusiasm and the idealism that this world needs．They know something needs to be done and we must listen to them．One way in which we can listen to them is by giving them the opportunity to express themselves in art－and by taking their art seriously．”

    　　The International Painting Competition on the Environment is part of UNEP’s program for children and youth entitled Tunza, which means to treat with care and respect in Swahili．

    　　Besides UNEP, the competition is supported by the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment(FGPE), Bayer AG and the Nikon Corporation．It has been held annually since 1990 and in that time has received over 160,000 entries from children in over 100 countries．

    　　The theme of this year’s Competition, Deserts and Desertification ,is also the theme of the 2006 International Year as well as World Environment Day of that year．

    　　The issue of desertification concerns the entire planet, UNEP says, because around one third of the world’s population live in drylands and their worsening is a very real threat to people’s lives and livelihoods, as well as to the health of the planet as a whole．

    　　Children who will be between the ages of 6 and 14 years on World Environment Day 2006(5 June 2006)from all regions of the world are invited to deliver their paintings on the theme to their Regional UNEP Office by 20 January 2006．Further information can be obtained at the Competition’s website [ www．unep.org/tunza/paintcomp15]

    D

    Cellphone users in the United States have contributed more than $11 million to Haitian earthquake relief through text messages in what is being called as an unexpected mobile response to a natural disaster.

    The Mobile Giving Foundation called it a “mobile-giving record” for funds raised for a single cause. Donations are rising swiftly, as former President Bill Clinton and other politicians urge the American people to give.

    Jim Manis, chief officer of the organization helping to manage cellphone donations, said it was receiving up to 10,000 text messages per second. The foundation said more than $11 million has been donated.

    Cellphone users can donate $5 to Haiti-born hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund by texting the word “Yele” to 501501, or they can donate $10 to other nonprofit organizations, such as the American Red Cross, by texting the word “Haiti” to a specified number, like 90999.

    The donation is charged to a user’s cellphone bill.

    The American Red Cross said it has received more than $ 9 million in donations from more than 900,000 mobile phone users.

    “It’s beyond our imagination that we’ve received this amount,” said spokeswoman Nadia Pontif.

    Jean’s fund had raised $2 million via text messages, according to Give on the Go, Yele’s mobile application service provider.

    The giving is also being fueled by the popularity of websites like Facebook and Twitter, where users are urging one another to make donations using cellphones.

    Wireless carriers(无线运营商) Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc., Sprint and T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, have waived(免收) fees for customers wishing to send mobile donations. Carriers are also letting users know they are not taking a cut of the donations.

    “There are no text messaging fees and 100% of the $10 donation goes to the American Red Cross, and every carrier is working through a solution to push those funds out faster.” Verizon said in a statement.

    68. A mobile phone user can donate some money to Haiti by texting the word _____ .

    A. “Yele” to 501501 to donate $10                    B. “Haiti” to 90999 to donate $10

    C. “Yele” or “Haiti” to 501501 to donate $ 5      D. “Haiti” to the American Red Cross to donate $ 5

    69. The underlined word “fueled” in the ninth paragraph most probably means “_____ ”.

    A. protected             B. discouraged      C. inspired             D. reflected

    70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Facebook and Twitter are two relief organizations from the USA.

    B. Many American politicians force Americans to give donations to Haiti.

    C. The American Red Cross expected to receive much more donations.

    D. Carriers have promised not to take a share from the donation.

    71.Which may be the best title for the passage?

    A. U.S. Texting Raises $11 Million for Haiti Earthquake

    B. An Unexpected Terrible Earthquake Hit Haiti

    C. The American Red Cross Offers Help to Haiti

    D. Wireless Carriers Donate $11 Million to Haiti
