Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

Recycling Electronic Waste
When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper which said that people were burying old computers in backyards,throwing TVs into streams, and dumping (丢弃) cellphones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies-and people.
Alex was really worried and decided to make it the next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.
But what could they do about this project with e-waste The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose(处置)of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.
Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 9, 500 kilograms of e-waste.
The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research, they'd learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So, they began learning to refurbish (翻新)computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn't have their own. In this way, they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.
For a lasting solution to e-waste, the drop-off center wasn't enough. Laws would have to be passed. In 2016, WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town, which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste.
Because of the work of WIN, more and more people, like Alex and his team, are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today's technology should not become tomorrow's harmful garbage. ”
8.What was Alex's worry after he read the article
A.The littering of e-waste. B.The recycling of plastic.
C.The change of the environment. D.The overuse of old computers.
9.What did Alex do to start the project
A.Set up WIN. B.Collect information. C.Ask friends for help. D.Carry out a survey.
10.Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work
A.Traditional B.Competitive C.Scientific D.Convenient
11.What message does the story convey
A.There is no end to perfection.
B.Success comes through failure.
C.Every positive attitude has a reward.
D.Young people can make a big difference.
D
The Land Under the Sea
Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released.
Now the development of advanced sonar(声呐) technology, known as bathymetry(水深测量法), is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声)sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional(二维)images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image .The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed.
According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,”she says.
Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes an villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines(潜艇)can also be used and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings:Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however.
In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates(骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living.Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships.
12.How does bathymetry work
A.It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed.
B.It makes use of a number of different devices.
C.It produces two-dimensional images of the seafloor.
D.It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites
13.What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Occupied B. Adjusted C. Rebuilt D. Discovered
14.The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may _______.
A.attract investment in the research under the sea
B.inspire people to take an interest in modern technology
C.change the attitudes of the British to their country’s history
D.receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects
15.We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to_________..
A.identify new species of plants and animals
B.provide the precise location of sunken ships
C.evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources
D.promote the development of deeper waterways

Keeping Fish Helps Prevent Loneliness
What typically comes to mind, when you think of a lonely person The most likely answer is an older person, who is socially isolated(孤立的),leads a very quiet life and doesn't get out much. 16 Loneliness can affect people of all ages from all walks of life.
Researchers carried out a study looking at the health benefits of viewing fish in tanks. They found that people, young or old, who spend time watching fish in tanks, could see improvements in their physical and mental well-being. 17
Keeping fish means you will have a well- organized routine. 18 You need to turn the light on, feed the fish, and carry out daily checks. There will also be weekly and monthly chores(琐事)which will need to be done, such as checking the equipment.
19 This helps to get people out of the house. It'll involve talking with other people who have similar interests. Forming relationships and friendships with these people will be much easier and this would counter isolation and likely decrease loneliness.
Many people, in spite of being lonely, are not allowed to have a "traditional” pet in their house or apartment. Either due to allergies (过敏)or landlord agreements, people are restricted to have pets in their house or apartment. 20 This is quite a good way to help them to have fun. What's more important, they will say goodbye to loneliness forever.
A.However, this isn't always the case.
B.Doing all this requires visits to a pet store.
C.That is to say, you'll have a lot of work to do.
D.These are some of the largest freshwater fish kept as pets.
E.Even with these restrictions, many people are allowed to keep fish.
F.Make sure that the tank is big enough for the fish you are going to buy.
G.In fact, it not only helped to reduce their heart rate, but also improved their feelings.
