15、Technology. BEducation.CEconomy. DCulture.In the latter part of the 20th century, child labor remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. Studies carried out in 1979, the International Year of the Children, showed that more than 50 million children below the age of 15 were working in vario

16、us jobs often under dangerous conditions. Many of these children live in underdeveloped countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Their living conditions are crude and their chances for education small. The poor income they bring in, however, is necessary for the survival of their families. Freq

17、uently, these families lack the basic necessities of lifeadequate food, decent clothing and shelter, and even water for bathing.In some countries industrialization has created working conditions for children that are comparable to the worst features of the 19th-century factories and mines. In India,

18、 for example, some 20,000 children work 16-hour days in match factories.Child-labor problems are not, of course, limited to developing nations. They occur wherever poverty exists in Europe and the United States. The most important efforts to eliminate（根除） child-labor abuses throughout the world come

19、 from the International Labor Organization (ILO), founded in 1919 and now a special agency of the United Nations. The organization has introduced several child-labor conventions（规定）among its members, including a minimum age of 16 years for admission to all work, a higher minimum age of specific type

Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer enginee

24、r at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Lius imagination took flight. He did what he might never have 3the chance to do in real life wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with s

25、uch a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadnt expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fictions highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washi

26、ngton DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur CClarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Its the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur CClarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke

27、s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I

28、 was awed (使敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Lius imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between

29、 civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Lius works arent simply daydr

In fact, the experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds. 16 One of the most important things we look at is clothes, but it

34、 isnt the brand of clothes that people wear that is important. The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right places.Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform. Why? A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are pa

35、rt of their school and that their form helps them to be serious about their studies. 17 If all the students wear uniforms, they cant judge each other because of their clothes. It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable.18 We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job sho

36、uld wear. If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctors white coat. 19 Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable to non-police officers. In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff because they know that the customers hope to s

37、ee them dressed in certain types of clothes.But can our clothes really tell people what we are like? 20 When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing. Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.AMaybe not, but they can sh
