Science Night

It’s almost time for Science Night.

I need a partner. Who should I ask?

I have three friends who all want to help.

How can I choose just one for the task?

My best friend Jule is fun to be around.

But she’s as chatty as a bird.

When she start to talk-just watch out!

I can’t get in a single word.

Still, that might work for Science Night;

She’d show our project to the crowd.

Jule’s voice would boom out like a drum.

I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud!

And then there’s Dan, who’s really shy

But wise as an owl—he’s so smart?

He’d help with the thinking for the job.

He wouldn’t talk, but he’d do his part.

But what about Shel, who’s good at art?

He paints and draws and sculpts so well.

Our project would look great no doubt!

I’m sure I should be asking Shel.

How can I choose just one from three?

I need them all! I’m feeling sick.

I’m as dizzy as a spinning top.

When trying to choose. I just can’t pick!

But wait—why not ask them all to help?

A group of four is better than one.

I’d love to work with all my friends.

In such a group, we’d have such fun!

The work could be shared by four of us.

Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule.

We’d fit together like puzzle pieces.

And take the grand prize in the school!

If you are not happy with China’s high Internet fees and slow speed, you are not alone.So is Premier Li Keqiang.On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.

“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there WI-FI’ because Internet service fees are so high,” said Premier Li.According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost of 1GB mobile Internet data per month in China is 100 Yuan, while it is only 60 Yuan in the US and 40 in Japan.

However, high prices don’t necessarily mean good service.The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps(兆比特每秒)in late 2014.South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3 Mbps.People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in South Koreas, but in China it would take half an hour.

To improve Internet services, the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks.Through them we can send text, pictures and videos globally in less than a second, which offer high speed Internet.Besides, the lack of market competition is another problems___________________________________________.
