A Bright Idea

Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.

Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.

One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization (组织) heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.

Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned (挣得) around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials (材料). Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.

Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference.

31. What does the word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shengnong, a man who had an ox(牛) head and human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shengnongjia.

The legend (传说) makes Shengnongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see sceneries of the four seasons from different altitudes. “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special climate of Shengnongjia.

Shengnongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.

One interesting and mysterious thing about Shengnongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far, scientists haven’t proved it is true and some say they are just bears.

The beautiful place has recently received a newtitle. On July 17, 2016, Shengnongjia Foresty District was added to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site.China now has 50 world heritage sites (遗址). Second only to Italy in the world.

For some people, going to a new school or joining a new class may seem afraid. To help solve any worries, you can use the power of hope. It allows people to solve all kinds of problems.

Hope means looking at things in a positive (积极的) way. It’s a way of thinking that builds your view of the world, so you see that things have a positive end.

Hope makes you feel happy and full of energy. Writer Katherine Rundell believes that hope can make you feel you can achieve (实现) anything. She writes in The Book of Hopes that hope is “to believe that the world is so wonderful that giving up would be a mistake”. In this way, hope pushes us to do excellent things and achieve our dreams.

A good way to develop hopeful feelings is to practise positive thinking. Young Minds suggests creating a hope cloud, where you write your hopes down in a cloud shape. Next, write one thing you can do to get close to it and write one person you could ask for help. Think about how this changes your feelings. Remember that hope can encourage other people, so share it with your friends.

51. You can use the power of hope to help solve ________________________________.
52. Hope means looking at things ________________________________.
53. Hope pushes us to do ________________________________ and achieve our dreams.
