I want to tell you the story of one of my old friends called Bob. His teachers called him A Troublemaker. They also said that he had no future and no hope. But now he owns a small second-hand bookstore store which makes him enough money to live on and also to support his mother.

He told me that after he finished grade nine, he went to study at a technical college. He was a pretty bad student so he became one of the gang (一帮) leaders there. Many of them got caught many times for fighting.

It looked like nothing could change his life. That was until one sad day when his father died. That changed everything.

After his father died, his mother had to work very hard to make enough money to support the family. He told me that he really pitied his mum after his dad died. He felt that he needed to earn some money rather than let his mum work alone. He loved reading cartoon(卡通) books and had been collecting them for years. As his family was short of money, he decided that he should sell them. He did this by the side of the road where his mother was selling food.

Soon he realized that his books were very popular. So he decided to set up his own business. He started his business by going around buying cartoon books from other people. He bought them for 25% and then sold them for half price. He could make enough money to help support the family.

He was a troublemaker to his teachers but he is a hero to me. If you are judged as a bad student or as someone being stupid, I suggest you pay no attention to what they say. Just do your best in everything. Don’t give up so easily. Believe in yourself. If you think that you can do it, then you can. Believe me, one day you could be more successful than those persons who looked down upon you.

1.What does the author want to tell the readers?

A. How a young man helped his mother.

B. How a young man graduated from college.

C. People can change when they are determined to.

D. People can be successful after they lose a family member.

2.Bob felt that he should change his way of life mainly because he ________.

A. pitied his mother

B. got caught for fighting

C. wanted to work with his mother

D. had to sell food by the roadside

3.Bob decided to start his own business when he ________.

A. sold all his cartoon books

Picture the scene: the battery on your mobile phone has run out． You can't make any calls for help and no one can contact you． You are all alone - well, not quite． Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar．Put it into the battery, wait a minute, and you're back on the phone．

    Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real．Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the"bacteria battery" - powered by bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity．

"This is a special organism," Lovely said．"You can harvest enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar．"

In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting． But this battery uses more efficient bacteria that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy． This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage．

The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery． It's also cheap and stable, as sugar can be taken from waste and crops．

But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar．And it produces "greenhouse" gases which pollute the environment．

The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done． "It is still young," said Lovely．"Where we are now is where solar power was 200r 30 years ago．"

But he believes the battery could be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean．Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas．

1.This passage is mainly about_　　　　　 ．

A． how to change sugar into electricity

B． a scientific invention of a new kind of bacteria battery

C． a new way to reduce pollution caused by mobile phones

D． a new kind of mobile phones and its future

2.Which of the following is not the strong point of the newly-developed battery?

A． Convenient．　　　 B．Stable．　　　　 C． Inexpensive．　　　 D． Quick．

3.The underlined sentence in the 7th paragraph actually means　　　　　　 ．

A． the bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy

B． scientists will continue their work until they find solar power

C． there is much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery

D． the bacteria battery will get popular in 20 0r 30 years

4.According to the passage, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?

A． Farmers．　　　　 B． Divers．　　　 C． Doctors．　　　　 D． Electricians．
