Last summer vacation, my brother got a set of bedroom furniture for his thirteenth birthday. When it arrived, I helped my parents move the __15__ furniture to the garage(车库). It was still in good condition. I thought it might be a chance for us to __16__ someone in our community.
I started to search for neighbours, friends and anyone who __17__ a bedroom set. Finally, my mum helped me call the local elementary school. They told me about Jaila, a second grader, the daughter of a poor single mother. I was given an address and a telephone number, and I soon found myself at Jaila's home.
The moment I went into Jaila's room, I knew I had taken on too big a __18__. When I pushed the old door open, it made a long loud noise. But the door was nothing compared with the rest of the room. Some old paint was off the wall. One of the windows was broken. The bed was just a mattress(床垫) lying on the old carpet(地毯). It seemed that the room needed more than furniture—it __19__ for a complete makeover.
That day I spent at least an hour looking around and wondering how I could possibly __20__ the room. I had never painted a wall, let alone changed the flooring. The second day, I returned with a large group of helpers—my Girl Scout Troop. We went to collect everything needed door to door in our community. We replaced, repainted, and redecorated Jaila's room. We sweated in Jaila's house for more than ten hours every day that week.
The moment we finished, we called Jaila into the room. She jumped, laughed and hugged each of us. I turned to Jaila's mother, and saw she had tears running down her face.
“Anna，” Jaila called my name __21__．
“Yes？”
“Welcome to my new room！”
When we saw how happy Jaila and her mother were, our __22__ disappeared into the air. We are really proud to make a simple donation a worthwhile experience of changing someone's life.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Do you know some great inventors and their inventions What factors(因素)are needed for their success
Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which the public simply don't want…yet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax(传真) machine in the 1860s. Although the machine was excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial(商业的) death. It was not until the 1980s that the fax became very common in every office…too late for Giovanni Caselli.
Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin(1647—1712) had the idea for a steam engine(蒸汽机) almost a hundred years before the better remembered Scotsman James Watt was even born, but he never had enough money to build one.
You also need to be patient (it took scientists nearly eighty years to develop a light bulb which actually worked) … but not too patient. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray, a professional inventor from Chicago, developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it as no more than “a beautiful toy”. However, when he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office (专利局) in February, 1876, it was too late. Almost the same invention had arrived two hours earlier… and the young man who sent it, Alexander Graham Bell, will always be remembered as the inventor of the telephone.
Of course what you really need is a great idea—but if you haven't got one, a walk in the country and a careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro(魔术贴) when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the country. During a similar walk in the French countryside some 250 years earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps' nest(蜂巢)．
You also need a good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, the USA.In 1958 the public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tennis video game on the screen. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer game—made from a simple laboratory instrument called an “oscilloscope”. Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!
(　　)23.How many factors do inventors need for their success
A．3. B．4.

(　　)24.The underlined word “ignoring” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．
A．having no idea of
B．doing no good to
C．getting no chance of
D．paying no attention to
(　　)25.What can you learn from the passage
