They seldom meet on the cricket or football fields, but the world's small island developing states are informally competing with each other to be the first to give up fossil fuels and embrace clean energy.
52 low lying poor countries have made the energy plans, who traditionally heavily depend on imports of petrol and oil.The Caribbean island of Dominica is leading the world with plans to become carbon “negative” by 2020.The Maldives is not far behind, hoping to be carbon neutral(无温室气体排放)by 2020.Tuvalu and the Cook islands intend to generate all their electricity from renewables by 2020 and TimorLeste, the poorest country in Asia, expects to provide solar electricity to all its 100，000 families by 2020.
With Tonga, Samoa, Nauru, Mauritius and many other countries also volunteering to switch to solar, geothermal and wind energy, the target of the group of 52 small island developing states is a 45% cut in emissions in the next 18 years—considerably more than the world's rich countries who have pledged 12～18% cuts by 2020.
“We are showing the world leadership，”said Dominican ambassador to the UN，Vince Henderson, at a UN development programme meeting ahead of next week's climate talks in Bonn, Germany.“This is about survival as well as economics.We are spending $220m a year importing fuel so it is in our interests.We are demanding that all countries take their responsibilities.”
“Small island developing states can leap toward the goal of a povertyfree and prosperous future by changing their energy sectors，”said Barbados prime minister, Freundel Stuart.“We hope the international community has a unified voice, sharing our aspiration to become fully sustainable.”
In a separate development, the world's 47 least developed countries (LDCs) will propose on Monday what they call a “bold new plan” to help speed up the UN climate talks.“Our countries cannot wait.We are already feeling the effects of climate change, but the time has come for us to be leaders in the international effort to address this global challenge.”said Pa Ousman Jarju, the chair of the LDC group.

More than six hundred delegates have been meeting in Burkina Faso this week to discuss education in Africa.The aim is to find ways to support economic growth by improving education and job training programs.
The delegates include education ministers and representatives of civil society, business, labor and youth groups.The meeting, held every three years, is known as the Triennial.
Ahlin ByllCataria is executive secretary of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa.His group organized the weeklong conference.He says there is a missing link between education and employment in Africa.For example, schools need to improve technical training for students who do not continue with secondary education.
Mr.ByllCataria says educational programs need to be reshaped to better fit the needs of employers.“For instance, where they have to train engineers, there is a lot of discussion between the schools and the companies in order to know the demands of the companies.So that is exactly what we also want to promote.”
Several West African countries are working together to develop a network of trade and vocational schools.The idea is based in part on a successful example developed by Nigeria.
Mr.ByllCataria says educators are working to connect governmentrun school systems with other groups that are helping educate students.These include nongovernmental organizations, community literacy centers and faithbased groups.Among these groups are Islamic schools，or madrasas that are expanding what they teach.Another subject for the conference was peace education.The idea grew out of the violence in Kenya related to elections in two thousand seven.The idea of peace education has spread to countries including Rwanda, Somalia, Ivory Coast，Sierra Leone and Liberia.New technology offers a way for Africans living elsewhere in the world.For example，a professor from Burkina Faso living in the United States could use videoconferencing to teach a class back home.

Tips for summer reading
Summer holds many of my strongest and mostpowerful reading memories. I remember sitting under a tree in the backyard as achild, reading AnneofGreenGables as the shadows crossed thegrass. I remember sitting in the back seat of the car on a long family roadtrip, sharing joke books with my brother and sister and laughing until wecried.I want all kids toenjoy the fun of summer reading, because summer reading has secret power. Here are some ways to motivate kids for summerreading.
Make children the curators(管理人)of their reading lives.
Have students set summer reading goals forthemselves.Students can actas“chief curators” of the blog in turn so that over the course of the summereach of them takes on the responsibility of replying to posts and highlightinga popular title.
Taking“curiosity walks” is a fantastic way tobring informational text into a child's reading list. These walks also provideopportunities for authentic writing. Have children take an inspiration notebookon a class walk outside and write down anything they see that they would liketo learn more about.
Make reading more like summer camp.
Let's combine reading with handson activitiesand make reading more like summer camp. We can take field trips to the libraryand search the shelves for books on a topic chosen out of a hat.Then they can bring that creation into share on the first days of school.
