It was started because there was a mothers Day,and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mothers Day, we should also have a Fathers Day.

The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should buy Fathers Day presents for their fathers.

Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the Sol-4. It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. The Sol-4 works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much friendlier than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $ 2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.（1）This passage is mainly about .A . solar cookersB . smoke pollutionC . solar power expertsD . breathing illnesses（2）The Sol-4 is mainly used to .A . shorten the time of cookingB . reduce the cost of making cookersC . raise money through donations to help African peopleD . reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke（3）The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “ ”A . cookersB . mirrorsC . peopleD . experts（4）Which of the following about the Sol-4 is TRUE?A . It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B . It can work in any weather condition now.C . It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D . It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.（5）From the passage, we can infer that .A . the Sol-4 will be designed in a smaller sizeB . more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC . the Sol-4 is the first product of the South African companyD . the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers三、 任务型阅读(共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分) (共1题；共4分)6. （4分）任务型阅读D根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出适当的选项补全短文My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella.
