On May 2, 2012, Ashok Gadgil became the winner of the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Global Innovation (全球創(chuàng)新獎). Each year, the honor is given to an inventor who has made a big difference in the lives of people in developing countries. Gadgil is a professor and physicist at the University of California, Berkeley. He spent thirty years helping people in need. His inventions have helped more than 100 million people around the world. “I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge of science  could help,” Gadgil said.
In the 1990s, Gadgil designed his first life-saving invention after more than 10,000 people died from Bengal cholera (孟加拉霍亂) because of the clean water crisis (危機(jī)) in India. His invention uses ultraviolet light to kill deadly disease-carrying germs (細(xì)菌) from drinking water. It costs just one cent to clean five liters of water (about 21 cups). So far, the invention has provided safe drinking water for more than five million people in India and other developing countries.
Gadgil’s another important invention is the Berkeley-Darfur Stove (爐具). The long and violent war in Darfur, Sudan, has caused many people to move to foreign countries and live in refugee camps (難民營). They are given food aid. But people still have to travel a long distance five times a week to gather firewood to cook meals. This can be dangerous because of street violence in the area. To avoid danger, some spend much of their money used to feed their families buying firewood.
The stove Gadgil created cuts fuel usage by 55%. That means people wouldn’t have to leave the camps to find firewood as often. The invention also helps to save homes more than $300 a year. About 125,000 people and their families have been helped.
As a professor, Gadgil encourages his students, “Be optimistic (樂觀的) when you try a hard problem,” he says. “It’s when you solve a large problem that you can have a big influence on the world.”
小題1: Ashok Gadgil was given the honor because _______.
A．he was a famous professor and physicist at UC, Berkeley
B．he improved the lives of people in developing countries
C．he spent thirty years helping people in need
D．he developed useful inventions with his team
小題2:Which of the following statements about Gadgil is TRUE?
A．He helped about 125,000 people in India.
B．He spent lots of money on his inventions.
C．He used his knowledge to help people in need.
D．One of his inventions could cure Bengal cholera.
小題3:What do people benefit from the Berkeley-Darfur Stove?
A．They can sell stoves to make a living.
B．They can save both time and money.
C．They can be protected from diseases.
D．They can cook their food easily.

I grew up in the 1950s with very practical parents. My mother washed aluminum foil（鋁箔紙）after she cooked in it, and then she reused it. She was the earliest recycle（回收）queen before people had a name for it．
My father was no different. He preferred getting old shoes fixed to -buying new ones. Their  marriage was good and their dreams were focused（集中）．Their best friends lived just a wave away. Though my parents have passed away, I can see them now - Dad in trousers, a T-shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawnmower（割草機(jī)）in one hand and dishtowel in the other.
It was the time to fix things -a curtain rod(掛簾桿),the kitchen radio, the screen door, the oven door, and so on. They fixed all things we had. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing and renewing made me want to scream.1 wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant being rich. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. I often thought like that.
But then my mother died, and on that clear summer night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I learned that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away and it will never return. So, while we have it, it is the best that we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and cure it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage, old cars, children with bad report cards, dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it and because we are worth it.
小題1:We can learn that when the writer was young, she_______.
A．thought highly of her parents' habits
B．often helped her parents fix old things
C．often threw things away without being noticed
D．a(chǎn)t times hated it when her parents fixed old things
小題2:What did the writer realize afier her mother's death?
A．Her mother truly loved her.
B．She had wasted a lot of money.
C．Things may never return once they are gone.
D．She had hurt her parents for many times.
小題3:What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To advise us to love what we have.
B．To encourage us to recycle old things.
C．To explain why her parents recycled.
D．To help us know about life in the past.
