Repeated cases of child abuse (虐待) in China have shocked the country. They also have led to more protection of children’s rights. But rights activists say the government and private groups need to do more to help children in need.

A small child protection service in Shanghai is trying to stop neglect and violence against children.

Gege is seven years old. She has been homeless for almost half her life. Her mother suffers from a mental condition. They lived on the streets in Shenzhen for more than three years. A man named Xiao Xudong learned about Gege. He told her story to the local media (媒体) earlier this year. Government officials heard the story and found help for Gege and her mother. The mother began to receive treatment for her mental problems. Gege was sent to a centre for children who had lost both parents. She was later re-united with her father.

Her story has a happy ending. But social workers are not yet celebrating.

Xiao Xudong spoke on Skype: “We have many child protection organizations, but why do we still have so many children being abused and neglected?”

Recently, Chinese newspapers and magazines reported on repeated cases of child abuse in the country. The reports shocked many people and led the government to strengthen measures to protect children’s rights.

Xie Chang’e is a lawyer. She offers legal assistance at a child protection service called Hope Home. Ms. Xie said that China has laws to protect children’s rights. But the laws are often unclear, she added, and difficult to put into effect.

However, the government is starting to recognize the problems in the child welfare system. New rules state that parents or legal guardians who sexually abuse, sell, abandon or violently hurt children will lose their legal right to care for them.

Ms. Xie supports the new regulations. She says they are a good way to help protect children. But she says police and other officials do not know about the regulations or do not always follow them. She also notes that the new regulations have the force of law, but they have not yet been written into laws.

A. show that child abuse has attracted the attention of society

B. indicate the seriousness of child abuse in China

C. prove that every abused child that receives help will have a happy ending

D. show that using the press is the best way to help abused children

2.What causes the laws to protect children’s rights to be ineffective?

A. The laws are so complicated that people don’t understand them.

B. The laws are so general that they are hard to put into effect.

C. The laws are often ignored by the government.

D. The laws are not practical.

Why Blue LED Lights Won the Nobel

The 2014 Nobel Prize in physics went to three scientists who gave lighting a big change by inventing blue LED lights. A big change in lighting efficiency is under way around the world.

Save and green

LEDs use less energy than other forms of lighting. A typical LED bulb(灯泡) can produce around 83 lumens per watt — a measure of how much brightness you can get from a unit of electrical power — much more efficient than other lighting facilities.

LEDs produce light by passing electric current through a semiconductor, while traditional bulbs pass current through a wire. The wasted heat energy is chiefly why traditional bulbs are so much less efficient.

LEDs also last about 30 times longer than traditional bulbs, and many LED bulb products promise up to 25,000 hours of use — more than 17 years if you used one for about four hours a day.

Lighting the world

The lighting transformation is not only in homes. LEDs are also being used for street lights, public holiday and decorative displays, commercial buildings, and other large energy users.

Car lighting is another application where LEDs are making progress. LEDs used to be used only for daytime running lights, but now many new cars have LED headlights for night-time use.

LEDs also hold promise for bringing light to the more than 1.5 billion people around the world without access to electricity, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted. Indeed, several proposed solutions to energy poverty include the distribution of LED lights, particularly solar-powered ones.

Digital displays

Without blue LEDs, the world wouldn’t have back-lit smart phones, TV and computer LCD screens, blu-ray(蓝光) players, many forms of lighting, and countless other products.

In the electronics industry, LEDs provide back lighting for LCD screens in many smart phones, laptops, and televisions. The LEDs are more energy efficient and allow for very thin displays.

Blu-ray players use blue LED lasers(激光) to read data off a digital optical disc. When these systems switched from using an infrared(红外线) laser to a blue LED laser, it became possible to store five to 10 times as much data.

LEDs are now being explored for their potential uses to transmit(传送) data from the Internet across open space, similar to WiFi. Such a system could transmit a lot more data than WiFi alone. This high bandwidth is possible because LEDs can turn on and off millions of times per second.

The rise of LED lighting came at a time when people were just starting to be concerned about global warming. Because of LEDs’ energy efficiency, using them for the world’s lighting would affect environmental protection in a positive way.

Why Blue LED Lights Won the Nobel

The reason why blue LED lights won the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics is that they are to 1.______ in big changes in lighting.

Save and green

2._______ with other forms of lighting, LEDs are much more efficient because of the different ways they pass electric current.

What’s more, LED bulbs can be 3._______ 30 times longer than traditional bulbs.

Lighting the world

4._______ from household applications of LED bulbs, they can also be used as street lights and car headlights.

Because of their high efficiency, LEDs, especially solar-powered ones, 5._______ to light areas without access to electricity.

Digital displays

Many smart phones, laptops and televisions use LEDs to back-light their LCD6._______.

By using blue LED lasers, blu-ray players are likely to store 7.________ data.

People are now exploring more 8._______ uses of LEDs such as transmitting data.

9._______

LED lighting will have a positive 10.________ on environmental protection.
