In our town, everyone knows Mrs. Ai loves eating fish heads. When the family have meals together and there is fish in the meal, her children always give her the fish heads first. Only when she is eating outside, she often says "no" to fish heads very politely.

Not long ago, Mrs. Ai dies. Before she dies, some of her old friends come to see her and cook some fish heads for her. At that time she can’t eat anything, but she tells her friends a secret, "Thank you very much for cooking me the fish heads. But tell you the truth: I never really love eating fish heads. My family is poor. My husband and children like eating fish. If I eat some, they will eat a little less. If I don't eat any, they will feel sorry. So I have to say I love eating fish heads.

The children in the village wear dirty, cheap clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in small houses. They have no school. But they can write 26 English letters, and some know a few English words.

How did it happen? It was because a U.S. group called One Computer Every Child offered them 20 computers.

Can children teach themselves to read when they have no schools or teachers but have the help of today’s new technology(技术)? The goal of the group is to find out the answer. And the results are exciting.

“The children are learning more than they would in one year of school,” said Matt Keller, who organized the programme.

The fastest learner was an eight-year-old boy called Kelbesa Negusse. He said that he himself was like a lion.

Keller said, “Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. But now he has known many words. I think if you give them food and water they will never leave the computer room. They will spend day and night there.”

Kelbesa said, “I like the computer because I can learn things with it.” He added, “I know many English words, like dog, monkey, horse, sheep, cow, pig and cat.”

Keller said that One Computer Every Child was planning a programme for children who couldn’t go to school.

根据短文内容回答问题。

Do you think that French fries are really French? French fries are called "pommes frites" in France and they are not from France. French fries come from Belgium(比利时) originally. French fries are made of potatoes, and they are cut and fried. The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were first seen by Americans in Belgium, but they were fried in the French way. The French way is to fry potatoes twice with a small pause in the middle.

During World War I, there were a lot of hungry American soldiers in Northern France and Belgium. They ate French fries in Belgium. After the war was over, the soldiers(士兵) went back home to America. However, they missed French fries so much that they made French fries at home. That's how French fries were fist introduced to America.

French fries were called Belgian fries once, but the name was finally changed to French fries. Sometimes French fries are just called fries.

French fries are one of the most popular potato foods in America. American fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King have French fries on their menus. French fries are freshly fried, and usually served with hamburgers.

If you visit any fast food restaurant in America and order a hamburger, you will probably hear "You want fries with that?" Why don't you think about the history of French fries a little while, and say "Yes, please. Thank you."
