The person checking out was a young women with het little girl. As the clerk was scanning(扫描) the things she had chosen, the young lady was carefully counting her money, After the last thing was scanned, the clerk told the young women the total.The young mothers expression turned embarrassment as she realized she did not have enough money, she started to see which things to put back, and nervously looked behind her, knowing she was holding up the line. I was smiling and trying to look sympathetic(同情)I had been in a situation where I did not have enough money plenty of times myself. Finally, the young mother gave things back to the clerk, and asked for new total.At that moment, the women in front of me asked the clerks to wait a moment, She took $5 and handed to the clerk to pay what the young mother was short of.

A little care can bring about great happinessC. There are always people who are in troubleD. A friend in need is a friend indeedCScientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks. They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers. Indian energy officials have been looking for ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay wondered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. A s they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much to slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears(齿轮). A large gear sits to a small gear. As the large gear turns, it calls the small gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. Clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device(设备) invented by the Indian scientists to produce electricity.According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.71.

Because there are few non-working bullocks in India D. Because there in not enough oil in India74. In the sentence “This simple technology is centuries old” in Paragraph One, “This simple technology” refers to_. A. using bullocks to produce energy B. using pumps to draw water out C. having bullocks walk around to make the pump move D. connecting gears of different sizes to produce electricity75.
