18．Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs，but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling．Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one's own money，time，talent，etc．sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story．
Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city，village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh．During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa．After his speech a poor old lady got up．She was gone with age，her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags．The volunteers tried to stop her，but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting．
"I must see him，"she insisted．She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet．Then from the folds of her sari（卷布），she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet．Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully．The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj．He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused．
"I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees （卢比） for the Charkha Sangh，"Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly，"yet you won't trust me with a copper coin．""This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands，"Mahatma Gandhi said．"If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two，it doesn't mean much．""But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed．She gave me all she had．That was very generous of her．What a great sacrifice she made．That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees．"

81．What does generosity really mean according to the passage？（No more than 14 words）It means willingness and liberty in giving away things without any personal gain．
82．What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for？（No more than 12 words）He made a speech for collecting funds for Charkha Sangh．
83．Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi？（No more than 10 words）Because he wanted to give him the copper coin．
84．Why did Gandhi refuse to give the copper coin to Jamnalal Bajaj？（No more than 10 words）Because Gandhi thought it was valuable．．

They are both typical Chinglish，a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar．Expressions such as"people mountain people sea"，means extremely crowded，and"give you some color to see"，meaning a punishment，are widely known and recognized．
Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in stature on the world stage，attracting both fans and detractors．
The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company，a language trainer known as EF Education，jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing．They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs．
"It is meaningful，to allow the capital show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world．"Michael Lu，vice-president of EF Education said，"since the launching of the campaign，foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation．"He believed signs were very important in public services．"The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors．
Chinglish，although the target of much criticism，has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves．
"Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language，"32-year-old Oliver Radtke said．He had even published a book"Chinglish：Found in Translation，"on the subject．About 50，000copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007．
Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish．"English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth，and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies to the language's vitality and inclusiveness，"said Shi Anbin，an associate professor of Tsinghua University．

A．Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words．

13．Parents seem to be looking in an unusual place for inspiration for baby names this year-their smartphones and iPads．
The number of babies named after Apple products has soared-Apple，Siri and Mac have all risen in popularity as baby names this year，according to parenting advice site BabyCenter's annual report．
Siri-the name of the app （计算机应用程序） on iPhones-has risen by 5% on the list of girl names in popularity，for parents surely like the pronunciation of it，and the name Apple，though still an unusual choice，has risen by 15% for girls，which has climbed 585places up BabyCenter's chart this year．Meanwhile，for boys，the name Mac has jumped 12%．
The huge success of iPhone and iPad seems to be behind the new trend-BabyCenter describes the youngsters as'iBabies'，"The smart phones may just be the best parenting tool since diapers （纸尿裤） and some parents are showing their respect to industry leader Apple in their choice of baby names，"says Linda Murray，the site's global editor in chief．
Space-themed baby names also rose in popularity，lb is perhaps inspired by the publicity around NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover．"It seems space was a huge naming inspiration for parents this year：Sky，Star，Luna，Skylar，Heaven，Stella，and Mars all flew higher than last year，"says Miller．

3．A four-wheeled robot，known as Rover，has been tested by a team at Sydney University．It was used to move a herd of cows from a field to a dairy（牛奶场）．
Researchers were amazed at how easily cows accepted the presence of the robot．They were not disturbed by it and the gathering process was calm and effective．Because the robot moved in a steady manner it allowed cows to move at their own speed，which was important in reducing injuries among cattle，said Dr Kendra Kerrisk，dairy researcher and associate professor．
The robot was adapted from one that was already being used to monitor fruit and trees on farms．A team at Sydney University's Centre for Field Robotics improved the robot so that it could be put in a field with cows in order for the researchers to gather data on robot-cow interaction．
The robot needs to be operated by a human but it's hoped that in the future a version can be developed that will be fully automated．As well as gathering cows a new version could also collect information useful for farmers．
Using robots to get cows to the dairy will be better for their well-being．"The research is in its very early stages but robotic technologies certainly have the potential to transform dairy farming，"said Dr．Kerrisk．"When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited and we have had a series of calls and emails asking how they can get hold of one，"she added．
The robot could also cut down the number of accidents involving humans on farms．Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle and they are one of the leading causes of injury．The team hopes that by using the robot to do the job instead，accident rates could fall．

A．milk the cows on the field

8．While I lived in Ireland，part of my college course was to work with children with special needs．I was selected to work in a school with children with disabilities （残疾）．
I had a lot of rooms to choose from，but I chose to work in the room that was for children with severe disabilities．They had no speech and most were in a wheelchair．The teacher of that room asked if I would work with a girl who had epilepsy （癫痫症） and other brain disabilities．She was 15years old．The teacher thought that it was an achievement for her to be able to put on her coat all by herself．I saw more in her．She always wanted to put string through the shaped blocks to make a necklace．For the 5years she was in the school the teachers always tried to help her but always ended up doing all the work．
I knew this smart girl could do more and so I encouraged her．She had a thumb which she could not move but I encouraged her so much to try．She got very upset most days and sometimes I wanted to give up．Finally after a week this young girl was able to do what she had been wanting to do by herself for so many years．Her teacher cried when she saw what this girl was able to do with just some encouragement．
