阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago. We called the area in front of our house “rock graden” as it is full of rocks.
Last summer I found a tiny little plant which I could not immediately identify at the end of the rock garden. I knew I didn’t plant it and my wife claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It was spindly with a tall skinny stalk and only one head on it. I decided to take care of it and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I notived something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’

The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes (海星) in the ocean.”

“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”

“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die”.

“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision of the power to shape the future.

We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

A light emitting diode (发光二极管), or L.E.D., is a device that shines when electricity passes through it.But it works differently than traditional kinds of light bulbs.Light emitting diodes use less energy and last much longer than bulbs with a filament (灯丝) inside.L.E.                               D.’s are also cooler to the touch, and shine a lot brighter than they used to.  

Red L.E.D.’s have long been used as signal lights on electronic equipment.But now light emitting diodes also come in blue and other colors.Colored L.E.D.’s are used to show images on everything from wireless phones to huge video signs.And white L.E.D.’s are being used increasingly to replace traditional lighting systems.  

But all these require electricity.In poor countries, people often burn fuel to produce light.But the smoke can make people sick.So an electrical engineering professor from Canada started a project to produce L.E.       D.lighting systems for the developing world.These lights are powered by batteries that can be recharged with energy from the sun.The batteries can also be charged through other ways, such as wind power and water power.

Professor David Irvine-Halliday tells the story of how he got the idea.In 1997, while climbing in the Annapurna mountains in Nepal, he saw a small school.All the children were outside.He looked through a window and saw that inside the school was dark.The school had a sign that read: "We have no teachers.If you want to stay and teach for a few days, we would be very pleased." Professor Irvine-Halliday says that experience had a big effect on him.Back at the University of Calgary, he was on the Internet one day.He saw a company in Japan selling bright white L.E.                           D.’s.So he built a light with some.This is how he began the Light Up the World Foundation.

48.Compared with traditional kinds of light bulbs, L.E.D.’S________.

A.waste a lot of energy                    B.need shorter time to make

C.shine much brighter                 D.are warmer to touch

49.According to the passage, we know that L.E.D.’s________.

A.will replace all the lights            B.will be more and more popular

C.will be only colored ones               D.will be only used in developing countries

50.According to the passage, we can infer that the purpose of the Light Up the World Foundation is to________.

A.develop L.E.D.lighting system for the developing world                   

B.sell bright white L.E.D.’s

C.collect money for developing countries
