you have a question about something,where do you go?For many people the answer is simple.They go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo.But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?Luckily,Rose Shuman,a business and international development consultant in California,has found a way for them.Her amazing solution is“Question Box”Question Box is a service that provides answersfree of chargefor people who cannot search the Internet directly.They might not be able to read,or they simply have no access.Question Box began two years ago in India.People use a metal call box with a pushtotalk button to connect to a live operator,as Rose Shuman explains,“You just push a button,a big green button,and that will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers,and speak your language.And you can ask them any sort of question you want,and theyll look it up in English or in Hindi,or whatever the main language is,and translate the answer right back for you.”The service is currently offered in two villages.The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology and solar panels in case the electrical power fails.Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users.“Rather than try to bring a lot of infrastructure to them and expect them to learn how to use the Internet,the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use,figuring that Grandma could probably walk up to a box and push a button，”added Shuman.In April,Question Box expanded to Uganda.Forty community workers with mobile phones connect villagers to call center operators in Kampala.The community workers go around telling people about the service.They wear Tshirts that say“Ask Me.”But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable.So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server.That way,the researchers in Kampala can quickly search the database for answers when users ask about current events and many other subjects.Rose Shuman continued,“When was Mahatma Gandhi born and how long is the Nile River?Whats the tallest mountain?The funniest one I think we got was,Did the pyramids ever move to another place？，which we found pretty funny.But we did look it up,and they havent moved.”1.According to the passage,“Question Box”is a service intended to_.A.help improve the living standard of the people in poor areas B.promote the computer technology C.provide answers raised by the people who have no access to the Internet D.enrich the local peoples life答案及解析：答案及解析：1.C。根据第二段可知。根据第二段可知。2.Which of the following is true about Question Box according to the passage?A.Uganda is the original place where the service started.B.Some
