The World’s Oldest First Grader
On January 12, 2004, Kiamani Maruge knocked on the door of the primary school in his village in Kenya. It was the first day of school, and he was ready to start learning. The teacher let him in and gave him a desk. The new student sat down with the rest of the first graders—six-and seven-year-old boys and girls. However, Kimani Maruge was not an ordinary first grader. He was 84 years old, the world’s oldest first grader.
Kimani Maruge was born in Kenya in 1920. At that time, primary education in Kenya was not free, and Marug’s family didn’t have enough money to pay for school. When Maruge grew up, he worked hard as a farmer. In 2003, the Kenyan government began offering free primary education to everyone, and Maruge wanted an education, too. However, it wasn’t always easy for Maruge to attend school. Many of the first graders’ parents didn’t want an old man in their children’s class. School officials said that a primary education was only for children. But the school principal, Jane believed Maruge was right. With her help, he was able to stay in school.
Maruge was a motivated and successful student. In fact, he was one of the top five students in his first grade class. In second grade, Maruge became the school’s student leader. He went as far as seventh grade, the final year of primary school. Over the years, Maruge studied Swahili, English, and math. He wanted to use his education to read the Bible and to study veterinary medicine.
Maruge died in 2009, at age 89. However, his story lives on. The 2010 movie The First Grader showed Maruge’s amazing fight to get an education. Many older Kenyans decided to start school after seeing The First Grader. One of those people was 19-year-old Thoma Litei. Litei said, “I knew it was not too late. I wanted to read, and to know more language, so I came to school to learn. That is why it is important for his story to be known. 24. On January 12, 2004, Maruge was__________. A. 7 years old B. 19 years old C. 84 years old D. 89 years old
25. Before 2003, primary education in Kenya __________. A. was not free B. was for old people
C. helped the poor people D. got money from the government
26. It’s important for Maruge’s story to be known because it __________. A. made many older Kenyans decide to learn B. helped the Kenyans get a good education C. made the government build more schools D. helped the Kenyans earn more money

You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favorite breakfast is already cooked, and it’s on the table, ready to eat. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s rainy. You live alone, but you find that your umbrella is already by the door.
How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life!
Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart.” Household machines will communicate with each other—and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest recipes (食谱)based on food items you already have.
The technology is possible because of tiny information-storing devices called RFID chips. Future RFID chips will store information about all the things in your cupboards. For example, they will record the date that you bought each thing. Other devices will “read” this information using radio waves. When you need more food, your cupboards will tell you to buy it.
Are you tired of the color of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like TV screens. The technology is called OLED, and it’s here already. OLED walls will become clear, like windows or display colors and patterns.
A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. Called “ambient intelligence,”(环境智能) this computer “brain” will control your whole house. It will suit your preferences. Your house will learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. For example, it will set the heat in the house to your favorite temperature. It will also turn on the radio in the morning because you like to listen to the news then.
But how about your cooked breakfast and the umbrella you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper. Futurologists predict that many homes will have robots in the future. Robots already do many things. But scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots—ones that people will feel more comfortable having around in the house.
How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a good chance it will
