In some you can even build your own solar panels, although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very regardingleaning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how electricity in generated.Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once youve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cells.Youll need to drill holes m the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience for electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that bees damaged or is not operating properly.At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with inverter (转换器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into alternating current (AC) power used in most electronic devices.21What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in paragraph 1?A.

While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge（排放）your bodys toxins（毒素）and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage（按摩）. Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the bodys toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity （湿气）that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something fortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will e out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modem renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.32What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A. Swimming in white water. B. Living in cold winter.C. Lying on the warm beds. D. Discharging lots of sweat.33What can we know from the text?A. There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.B. Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.C. Using water of about 45 to wash the body is good for the health.D. People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.34What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?A. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.B. It successfully cured many people of cancer.C. It is popular with people because of its excellent effects.D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.35Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. How to live fortably in summer B. A healthy and fortable lifestyleC.
