24、   In the United States, headmaster and teachers punish students in several ways. The teachers often writes to or calls the students’ parents.

The student can’t come to school one, two or three days. Mr. Green didn’t like to suspend students. When he suspended students, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” they thought. One day, a boy named Robert was in Mr. Green’s office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr. Green phoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t suspend him,” he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students stared at(盯着看) the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that, he behaved better.

26、Nigeria is a hot and dry country in Africa where electricity is not available (可获得的) to many homes. Most people grow and sell their own fruit and vegetables. Keeping them fresh in the hot place is a real challenge. Without a fridge, most fresh food goes bad in several days. Throwing away the food means losing money for poor families. Eating the bad food causes serious health problems.

Local teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was worried about this problem and decided to solve it. As a boy born into a family of clay pot (陶罐) makers, Mohammed knew that these traditional clay pots could keep water even when dry. In the 1990s he used this traditional knowledge and his understanding of science to invent a cooling system. It worked as a “desert fridge”.

Mohammed’s cooling system is made up of two pots—a small pot inside a larger pot. In the space between the two clay pots,there is wet sand. People put the fruit and vegetables in the smaller pot,and cover it with a wet cloth. Then they leave the larger pot in a dry place. When water from the sand evaporates (蒸发）, it causes the temperature in the pots to go down. This way the food in the smaller pot is cool.

With the pot-in-pot cooling system, food stays fresh much longer. Mohammed’s “desert fridge” has improved the lives of thousands of people. So in 2001 he won the Rolex Award for Enterprise, which is for the people who try to make the world a better place.

【1】“This problem” in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ________ in Nigeria.

A．there were more health problems

【2】Mohammed won the Rolex Award for Enterprise because he ________.

A．invented lots of things

B．was a successful businessman

C．made local people’s lives better

D．had great knowledge of science

【3】Which can be the best title of the text?

A．A cool invention

B．The influence of education

C．A fun prize

D．The importance of electricity

27、The lyrebird (琴鸟) is one of Australia’s best-known birds. It has a small head and long, strong legs. Its body is dark brown or gray. The female has a long brown tail behind her but the lyrebird is remembered because of the male’s extremely beautiful tail. It has sixteen feathers and is about one metre long. The two outer feathers of the tail are golden brown and curved. This curved shape reminds people of a musical instrument — the lyre. The other surprising thing about the lyrebird is that it can copy perfectly any sound around. It can remember the songs of about twenty other kinds of birds. These days, lyrebirds have been heard copying the sounds of car alarms and crying babies!

Lyrebirds are found in wet rainforest. Because they are not great flyers, they spend most of their time on the floor where there is plenty of food. They use their strong claws to turn over rocks to find something to eat.

After growing into an adult, the male makes a space in the forest, or builds a hill, and he dances on the hill. He spreads his tail forward over his head and shakes it, jumping and moving slowly from side to side. The male sings wonderful songs. How could any female refuse his love?

The female builds her own nest in an old tree or on some rocks. It is a round nest with a hidden side entrance which helps to protect the eggs from other hungry animals. She lays a single egg and brings up her chick alone.

When in danger, lyrebirds will try to run away. They can use their wings to fly onto low trees and rocks. They also use strange sounds they can make to scare away their enemies.
