I found a website that has changed my life for the better. The website is wishuponahero.com and it is all about people helping others, not expecting anything in return.

I am a single mom with a son. My son’s 12th birthday was on October 29th, 2007. Knowing that I didn’t have money to buy him a birthday gift had broken my heart. So I decided to post a wish on wishuponahero.com for people to send my son birthday cards.

Many cards just started coming and my little son was very excited and this went on for about three weeks. The smile on his face and the sparkle (闪光) in his eyes brought me to tears.

Then, in the end of November, he started thinking about Christmas and he already knew that there would not be a tree for him because we didn’t have enough money. However, it didn’t matter to him. All he talked about was how much he wanted to make other children smile. So he decided that what he wanted to do was earn money to buy Christmas cards and send them to other children from poor families. My son went out daily and raked (耙) leaves and walked some dogs to make money. Not only did he buy cards, but he also made enough money to buy all the stamps and lollipops (棒棒糖) to be sent with the cards. He sent out about 100 cards. Doing this brought him that same smile and sparkle in his eyes as did the birthday cards that he received.

The single mother posted a wish on wishuponahero.com because _______________.

A. she wanted to buy her son a card on the website

B. she wanted to get something for free

C. she hoped that people could help her

D. she thought her son would like the website very much

What did the son think of his birthday cards on October 29th, 2007?

A. Disappointing.                B. Exciting.

C. Cheap.                          D. Poor.

What can we conclude from the story?

A. Surfing the Internet is of great use.

B. One should take care of his children.

C. People can ask for help from wishuponahero.com.

D. Learning to give makes one’s life more meaningful.

The story of the touchstone(探金石) tells of a man who was told that if he could find the touchstone, its magical powers could give him anything he wanted. It could be found, he was 31 , among the pebbles (卵石) of a beach. All he need to do is  32  a stone.If it feels warm, the magical touchstone is 33 .

The man rushed to the beach without delay. When he  34 a pebble that felt cold, he threw it into the sea. He  35 this practice for weeks. Each pebble felt cold, and each pebble was  36 thrown into the sea..

But one morning, he  37 to take hold of a pebble that felt  38 , unlike the other stones. The man, who had  39 noticed the difference, threw it into the sea. He hadn’t  40 to, but he had formed a habit that can be  41 to break.

Any behavior one   42 is strengthened. Repeated often enough, it becomes a(n)  43 . A Spanish proverb says, “Habits are first cobwebs (蜘蛛网), then cables (钢索).” It works well for  44 habits that first trap us like a cobweb. And if we continue the behavior, the  45 grows stronger and can be as difficult to break as a steel cable.  46 some habits can work in our  47 , such as patterns of our lives, positive attitudes and healthy ways of thinking. We form our habits, then our habits form us  48  .

When it  49 habits, practice may not make perfect. But practice will certainly make permanent. So form the habits you want and let them 50  you into the person you want to be.

Sunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode(二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.

The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system's keeper must buy a scratch card—for as little as a dollar—on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company's server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit. 

Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell. 

In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.

According to Eight19's figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.

1.The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______ .

A.make use of       B.come up with       C.look into          D.deal with

2.What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?

A.Buy a scratch card.                      B.Recharge it outside.

C.Buy another solar cell.                    D.Return it to the company.

3.How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?

A.Around $10.       B.Around $80.       C.Around $90.       D.Around $180.

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that  ____________.

A.Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell

B.using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money

C.few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricity

D.the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells

5.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch.

B.Eight19: a creative British Company.

C.Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free.

D.Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Energy.
