24、   A photo of a boy who arrived at school with a head full of icicles(冰柱) has drawn widespread attention to children from poor rural families.

Wearing only a thin jacket, Wang Fuman, 10, had braved -9℃ weather to travel over an hour from his village home to reach Zhuanshanbao Primary School in Zhaotong, Yunnan province. "After walking more than 4 kilometers through the freezing snow, he arrived with his hair and eyebrows completely frozen, causing laughter among his 16 classmates," said Fu Heng, the school's principal, who uploaded(上传) Wang's photos on Monday morning. Fu added that his classrooms do not have heating because of a lack of money.

After hearing Wang's story, the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation offered a public donation(捐赠) for children from poor families on Tuesday. It has promised to give each needy child 500 yuan ($75) to help them stay warm in winter. By 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the provincial foundation had collected over 300,000 yuan in public donations to their websites.

Wang, who has been nicknamed "Snowflake Boy"(冰花男孩) by netizens(网友), became well-known online. By Wednesday morning, his picture had been "liked" more than 260,000 times on Sina Weibo. "Many children in cities don't have the strong willpower of this boy. I hope all his efforts will be rewarded(回报)," a netizen wrote on Sina Weibo.

The name Fuman translates as "full of happiness", but Wang does not come from a rich family.

He lives in a mud hut(土坯房) with his grandmother and elder sister, and seldom sees his parents because they are migrant workers in other cities.

"I love school. We can have bread and milk for lunch, and we learn lots of things in class," Wang said. His village now has electricity and tap water. "And my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school," he said. "I think our life will get better."

25、Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.

More and more traffic accident are happening because drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving will be fined ¥200.

For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of us are what scientists call amusic. Those amusics are born without the ability to r【1】  , repeat or remember musical notes（音调）. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are pretty different.

As a result, songs sound like n 【2】to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their unfitness to enjoy music makes them away from others.

It can be difficult for other people to get to know them. Actually, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be  an amusic. Many amusics may not feel very c【3】when they go to a restaurant or a shopping mall. Sometimes they even feel painful. That is why many amusics usually stay away from places where there is music. “I used to h【4】parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only discovered that she was an amusic last month. By studying people like Margaret, scientists  are f 【5】learning how to find this unusual condition.

Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who enjoy music.

The difference isn’t about defective hearing（听力障碍）.

Many amusics are happy when their condition is found. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about the p 【6】 with music. Now she knows that a large number of people are like her. There is a name for the condition. That makes it e 【7】for her to explain“When people invite me to a concert, I just say‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’”says Margaret.“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
