Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.

Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons – the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.

The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.

1. What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?

A . They are difficult to use and create pollution

B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged

D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health

2. The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from______.

A. plant food B. plant waste C. the soil’s heat D. the sun’s energy

3. What is true about the Plant Lamp?

A. It can be made by local people

B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps

C. It can produce all the electricity the village need

D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find

4. The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for _________.

A. rainforest communities B. cars

C. poor people in cities D. farmers

5. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To report on a new invention

B. To explain a new scientific theory

C. To describe how electricity is made

D. To discuss the problems of poor villages

One day John invited me to his farm．When I arrived at his farm，I was surprised to see a

pig with three artificial(人造的)legs．I asked John why the pig had them．He said，“One day，while I was checking one of the tires(轮胎)of my car。the car suddenly started to move slowly and then I was trapped under the wheel．Just then Pinky，the pig，saw this．It ran back to the house and pulled my wife out of the house．Then my wife realized something was happening and then helped me get out of wheel．It’s a smart pig．”

“The story is amazing，but it can’t explain why Pinky has the artificial legs，”I said．

“Well，let me tell you another accident．Once，my son hit his head on a stone while

swimming in a lake．He began to go down when Pinky jumped into the water，swam to him and pulled him up onto the bank，”John said．

“Great! Most pigs can’t swim，but Pinky can!”I said．

“Last year，a strong fire broke out in my house．My family were asleep at that time．Pinky kept barking around the house until we all woke up．We rushed out just several minutes before the house came down，”John continued．

“Pinky is actually a special pig，but I really want to know why it has three artificial

legs，”I said anxiously．

“But unluckily，”said John，“Pinky had its legs broken in the accident．”

1．How many times has Pinky saved John and his family?

2．How did Pinky help John and his family when their house was on fire while they were asleep?

3．Do you like this story? Why or why not?

【书面表达】

Recently, all of us are talking about how to be civilized students in our .school.

In my opinion, we should be polite to our parents and help-them do more housework at home. At school, we should respect our teachers, get on well with our classmates and study hard. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. When we wait for a bus, we should wait in line. Don't throw litter or spit in public. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need.

If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.

Let's join together to be civilized students!
