Mr. Dawson is an old man with bad temper (脾氣). And everyone in town knew it. Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples.

One day, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawson's house. When Janet saw him outside, she suggested they crossed the street to the other side. But Amy said they didn't need to.

When Mr. Dawson saw Amy, he smiled and said: "Hello, Amy! I see you have a new friend with you today." Amy smiled back and told him that Janet would stay with her that night. Mr. Dawson looked friendly and gave them each a fresh apple. The girls were glad to get them.

Later, Janet asked Amy: "Everyone says he is the most unwelcome person in town. Why was he kind to us?" Amy explained that when she first walked past his house, she was also afraid of him. But she preteneded there was an invisible (看不見的) smile on his face and then started talking to him.

"An invisible smile?" Janet was puzzled "Yes," answered Amy, "My grandma told me to think so. She says smiles can run around. If we keep smiling at someone, sooner or later he will really smile back."

Try to remember this, and you will find that most people can't refuse your smile.

Sheridan is a town in Indiana, USA. There are lots of trees near the public schools in the town. Their leaves turn sunlight into energy (能量).

In Sheridan, the sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. The schools use solar panels (太陽能電池板) to turn sunlight into energy.

The science behind solar energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district (學(xué)區(qū)) in Indiana to be completely solar—powered. The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2014. Some of the panels can turn to follow the sun across the sky.

In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the USA. These numbers come from a report by the Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a program director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014.

Solar energy has some advantages over other energy sources (來源). Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it won’t run out. Solar panels don't harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs.

Brown thinks more schools should run on solar energy. “The sun is Earth’s energy source,” she says. “We’re trying to make it the energy source for our houses, cars and schools, too.”

But using solar energy isn’t always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to put in. The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.

1.What does the underlined word “It” refer to?

A.A district. B.The solar panel. C.A plant. D.The sun.

2.Sheridan Community Schools put in solar panels _________.

A.for all three of its schools B.in 2008

C.with the help of the Solar Foundation D.together with over 1,000 schools in the USA

3.According to Roxie Brown, the number of schools with solar panels _________.

A.has fallen B.has risen C.is too small D.is large enough

4.What does the underlined word “renewable” mean in Chinese?

A.可替代的 B.可開發(fā)的 C.可加工的 D.可再生的

5.Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?

A.Solar panels will take up less space. B.It will never be difficult to use solar energy.

C.It may cost a lot to put in solar panels. D.Going solar is a wise choice for every school.
