5.By today's standards,my mobile phone is pretty rubbish.It's a Nokia 1616.If that doesn't mean much to you  ( it's not the kind of phone you see advertised on television),all you need to know is that it's a small,not very heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages.It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you can't find your keys,or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema.Other than that,my phone doesn't do much.Well,it has an alarm,and it probably has a calculator and things like that,but it's nothing compared to a smartphone.Why would I want one of those?
I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that"you can do everything with them!"But when was the last time you saw someone doing"everything"with a smartphone?Okay,so they may have an endless list of functions,but generally they are used for checking social networking sites,playing games,and receiving and replying to emails.I'm happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop.
As far as I can tell,the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can be connected to the inLernet all the time.Don't get me wrong,I love the internet,but I just don't see the point of constantly being online.I can't remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared,and I can't imagine ever having a job which
was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately.I would think that if someone needed me urgently,they would just ring me rather than send an email.And my trusty Nokia can manage that.
One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is,in my opinion,the newly-found addiction  to maps and navigation (导航) systems.Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where  you are all of the time?!How do you get to know an area if you don't get lost there a few times?And  if you are dependant on online maps,what happens to those great places you find just by chance?You can't exactly find out from google maps the journey from"here"to"that hidden cafe with the  tasty-looking cakes",or to"that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening  sun."It is,of course,true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in the right dircction,but I  find that there are often real life  humans you can ask.
There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone,like the face that it cost me about twenty pounds,and that I don't have to worry too much about it being stolen.But the main benefit.has to be the fact that it provides me with the word'greatest excuse for my bad habits,Whether it's turning up late to events,or getting lose on a trip,or missing buses or trains,or forgetting about an  appointment at work,I'm pretty sure I'm covered with the following explanation"I'm really,sorry I don't have a smartphone."

16.Last December,Doris Low turned 90.Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto,where she helps transform literature into Braille (CNIB) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers.She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than 40years.
  After working in the business world for a while,Low got fed up.So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
  Low's mother liked reading.As her eyes began to fail,low read to her.Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille,I decided to give it a try."In 1973,she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
  The job was strenuous---she could get to the end of a page,make a mistake on the last line,and have to do the whole thing again.For a number of years,low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape.Three years ago,she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB's word factory.
  In April,during Volunteer Week,the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.Thanks to volunteers like Low,the CNIB library has got more than 80,000accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print."I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from
  Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years---and she is still doing so,"said a CNIB official.
"For me,"said Low,"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer.Three thins matter most in my life:a little play,a little work,a little love.I've found them all here."

13.Singapore was just a sleepy city in Southeast Asia more than 50 years ago.But the small dot on the world map has since developed into one of the richest nations thanks to its founder and first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew,the father of the state,who passed away on March 23,2015at the age of 91.
Lee grew up in a Singapore that was part of the British Empire.As a law major who graduated from Cambridge University and the founder of the People's Action Party,he became Singapore's first prime minister in 1959when British agreed to the island's self-rule.
Lee was a leader with vision(远见).He knew that without agriculture and natural resources,Singapore could only find a way out by developing itself into a place perfect for business.So he began with a few simple ideas:Singapore needed respect for elders and the law,hard work,and the idea that the needs of society are greater than the individual's.He united Chinese,Indians and Malays,making English a common language.He fought corruption and even banned chewing gum.That helped change Singapore from a poor city in the 1950s to a world business center with a GDP per-capita of $ 55,000,reported the Financial Times.
Lee left the office of prime minister in 1990but remained a member of parliament.He resigned as"Minister Mentor"in 2011.He was happy with his work:"I have no regrets.I have spent my life,so much of it,building up this country.There's nothing more that I need to do."
To the world,Lee was one of Asia's most popular politicians.He was one of the first to spot the potential of China under a former leader Deng Xiaoping and contributed to China's reform and opening up."No small number of this and past generations of world leaders have asked for his advice on governances and development,"said US President Obama."Lee is a visionary and a true giant of history."
