9．Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai，two child welfare activists from Indian and Pakistan  respectively，on Wednesday received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize．
At an awarding ceremony held at the Oslo City Hall，Norwegian Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjoem Jagland praised the two prize winners for their joint efforts and brave struggle in fighting  child labour in India and promoting girl's right to education in Pakistan．
"A conscience exists in the world which extends beyond all national boundaries，and is  independent of religion，culture and social belief．It states that children have a right to childhood；  they have a right to go to school instead of being forced to work．They are not to start life as the  slaves of others，"Jagland said．
The words of and deeds by Kailash and Malala are the best expression of this world conscience，said Jagland．
In their speeches，the two distinguished people called on the entire world to stand up for child rights and welfare and make the world a better place for children to grow up while telling their stories and sharing their thoughts with the audience．
There are currently 168million child labourers in the world，according to Jagland's speech．
At the awarding ceremony a young man ran up to Malala and unfolded a Mexican national flag in front of the audience and press cameras．
The man，whose identity is not known yet，was quickly taken away and handed over to the police．
It was guessed that the man's action was related to the recent killing of school students．

8．Growing up in rural Malawi，Africa，William Kamkwamba learned to accept that life was hard．
He lived with his parents and seven sisters in a small clay house without electricity or running water．Like most boys in his village，William was expected to assist his parents on the family farm，as well as keep up with his school work．Each night，like most Malawians，his family went to bed early because the kerosene oil they needed to light the lamps was costly．
A terrible drought in 2000 left many Malawians hungry，and William's family was no exception．
In 2003 at the age of 13，William and many other children were forced to drop out of school when their parents could no longer afford his schooling．William had to work even harder to help his family，but he wasn't ready to give up his education．He went to the local library and took out some books to study．One book，called Using Energy，sparked William's interest in science and gave him an idea that significantly changed his future．
In the book，William found a picture of a windmill （风车），and a brief description of how it could be used to generate electricity from wind．He knew that there was plenty of wind in his village，and realized that if he could build a windmill like that，he could give his family and the．people in his village a much better life．There was just one problem．The book didn't explain how to build a windmill，and neither did any of the other books in the library．
What happened over the next year demonstrated William's incredible ambition and determination．He began to collect any kinds of materials he thought could be useful-scraps of wood，broken bicycles，old shoes-and started to build a windmill next to his family's house．He endured many challenges and failures．Other people in his village called him crazy and said his idea would never work．Finally，at the age of 14，William completed his first windmill．When they saw electric lights and heard the sound of music on the radio coming from William^house，the village people came running．He had done it．William Kamkwamba had found a way to capture the wind．
Kamkwamba's autobiography （自传），The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind^tells the story of how the rest of the world came to know about his achievements．With the help of international supporters，his village now has clean running water，solar powered lighting，and electric power．As a result of his actions，Kamkwamba was invited to study engineering at Dartmouth College，one of the top-ranking universities in the U．S．He also travels the world and gives talks about how he made his dream a reality．

7．Since the earliest civilizations，people have controlled rivers to meet society's demands．Today，rivers are controlled for many reasons，primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily，agricultural and industrial needs，for power generation，for navigation （航行），and to prevent flooding．
River control is achieved by channelization，a term that covers a range of river engineering works，including widening，deepening，straightening and stabilization of banks，and by the construction of dams．
An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the l9'th century，when many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened．One of the most dramatically changed was the Tisza River，a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary．The controlling of the Tisza，designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture，included cutting off more than 100 meanders （河曲），shortening the river's length by nearly 400kilometers．
One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them．The past 50years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide，and at the beginning of the 21^st century，there were about 800，000dams globally，some towering more than 200meters in height．
Despite their successes，many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful．Some particularly deep reservoirs （水库） can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water．Downstream of a reservoir，the river is certainly influenced in many ways：water volume，speed and quality are all affected，leading to changes in the landscape and among plants and animals．
