Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn't a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind.

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

A．Recharge it outside. B．Buy another solar cell.

C．Return it to the company. D．Buy a scratch card.

2.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 $180. D．Around $90.

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

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

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

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

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

4.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.

Cherie Blair has attacked “yummy mummies” who focus on raising their children at the expense of their careers, suggesting their children lack a sense of independence. The wife of the then British Prime Minister also accused some young women of seeking to “marry a rich husband and retire” instead of working.

Mrs Blair, a QC and mother of four, criticized women who “put all their effort into their children” instead of working. Mothers who go out to work are setting a better example for their children, she said.

Some women regard motherhood as an acceptable alternative to a career. Instead, women should strive for both. “Every woman needs to be self-sufficient and in that way you really don’t have a choice-for your own satisfaction; you hear these yummy mummies talk about being the best possible mother and they put all their effort into their children. I also want to be the best possible mother, but I know that my job as a mother includes bringing my children up so actually they can live without me.”

The term “yummy mummy” is generally used to refer to a woman whose husband’s wealth allows her to devote herself full-time to her children and her appearance.

In fact, despite Mrs Blair’s worries about non-working mothers, official statistics show that the proportion of mothers who work has actually risen steadily in recent years. According to the Office for National Statistics, 66 percent of mothers are now in some form of paid work. In 1996, the figure was 61 percent. The number of working mothers is now around 5.3 million, up from 4.5 million in 1996.

Speaking to Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women event in Claridge’s, Mrs Blair appeared to accuse some young women of lacking professional ambition, focusing on their prospective partner’s career instead of their own. Mrs Blair said her view was informed by her own experience of her father abandoning her mother when she was a child. But she insisted that all women should make sure they can provide for themselves: “Even good men could have an accident or die and you’re left holding the baby.”

Often in the headlines during her husband’s premiership, Mrs Blair has taken a more active public role since he left office in 2007, setting up a charitable foundation to support women setting up their own firms in developing countries.

71. If some one is a yummy mummy, she is most likely to ________.

A. start her own company B. teach her children at home

C. stay at home to raise her children D. help her husband with his business

72. Mrs Blair might support the women who _________.

A. try to balance their work and their family life

B. try to find rich husbands and make life easier

C. sacrifice their own careers to look after their children

D. devote most of their time to their careers

73. We know from the passage that ________.

A. The number of working mothers has dropped since 1996.

B. Mrs. Blair worked even when her husband was Prime Minister

C. Most women in Britain would like to be yummy mommies.

D. Mrs. Blair was worried about those working mothers.

74. Which of the following statements is true about Mrs. Blair?

A. Mrs Blair didn’t attract much media’s attention when her husband was Prime Minister

B. Mrs Blair must have had a happy and quiet childhood.

C. Mrs Blair hasn’t appear much in public since her husband left office in 2007

D. Mrs Blair has been helping women to be independent.

75. The passage might be taken from _________.

A. a fashion book B. a text book C. a newspaper D. a science magazine
