24、camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag. The fat man sat on the terrace (平台), sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasnt looking at the brochure: he hadnt turned a page for the last ten min

25、utes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldnt quite place him. Then it hit me the car accident. The mys

26、terious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brough

27、t things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. Mr. DI shivered(震颤). The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and bought faith back into my life. I unfolded th

28、e tip he left. Among the singles was a grand(一千块) with a pen mark underlining “Thank you.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.41Why did the fat man look like a tourist?ABecause he used money not the same as the locals.BBecause he carried what tourist usually have on.CBecaus

29、e he didnt look like a native citizen.DBecause he ordered strange food and drinks.42How did the author know the man didnt read the brochure?AHe was drinking all the time.BHe sat still with his sunglasses.CThe page remained unturned.DHe was staring at the writer.43What happened on the night of the ca

32、r desalination (脱盐) system. They have made a breakthrough in getting fresh drinking water from sea water by using sunlight.As the research paper published in Energy & Environmental Science explains, equipment applied in this system includes several layers of fiat evaporators (蒸发器) that turn wate

33、r sources into fresh water through solar energy, as well as condensers (冷凝器) that cool the gas into the liquid. The authors of the paper are MIT students Lenan Zhang and Lin Zhao, Professor Evelyn Wang, and nine other researchers at MIT and at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.How the system us

34、es each of the multiple stages to remove salt from the water is critical to its efficiency. The heat released per stage will be used by the next stage. In this way, the teams device can convert (转换) the energy of sunlight into the energy of water evaporation with an efficiency of 385 percent.The dev

35、ice can be considered as a multilayer solar still. The heat is absorbed by its flat panels and then transferred to make water evaporate. The vapor then cools down and turns into liquid water on the next panel. As the water is collected, the released heat is transferred to the next layer.The teams 10

36、-stage system produces pure water. Its quality is above the city drinking water standards. It also has the highest yield compared to other similar systems, at a rate of nearly six cubic decimeter per hour for every square meter of the solar collecting area. The system is distinguished from some othe

37、rs by the fact that there is no accumulated salt to be got rid of. Most materials of the demonstration unit dont cost much and are easy to get.Further experiments will be carried out on the device to optimize the choices of materials and test its durability under realistic conditions. Researchers wi

38、ll also work on the design of the device to make it more consumer-friendly. It is expected that the system could finally help developing regions that are short of electricity supplies but rich in sea water and sunlight handle water crises.46What contributes most to the high efficiency of the device?

39、AThe recycling of released heat.BThe choice of materials.CThe use of multilayer equipment.DThe simplicity of the structure.47What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?AWhat the device is for.BHow solar energy is collected.CHow the device works.DWhat makes the device.48What makes the device different from

40、 other systems?AThe quality of water it produces.BIts zero accumulation of salt.CIts stable and high production level.DThe low cost of its condensers.49What does the underlined word “optimize” mean?Amake cheapBmake perfectCmake diverseDmake beautiful50Why will researchers carry out further experimen

41、ts on the device?ATo make it suitable for use by consumers.BTo make it environment-friendly.CTo check its performance in labs.DTo reduce its cost.One of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they areWhen we see something we dont like，we

42、 wish it could be differentWe cry out for something betterThat may be human nature，or perhaps its something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our cultureThe root of the unhappiness isnt necessarily that we want things to be differentHowever, its that we decided we didnt like it in the first placeWeve judged it as

43、 bad，rather than saying, “Its not bad or good，and it just is it”In one of my books，I said“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”Some readers said its too sorrowful to expect things to go wrongHowever, its only negative if you see it as negative and

44、judge it as badInstead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that isThis can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics works and how depressing the news media can beAccept these things as they are，and try to understand why theyre that

45、wayIt will save you a lot of sadness，because youll no longer say,“OhI wish bad things didnt happen!Does it mean you can never change things? Not at a11But change things not because you cant accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growingCan we make this w

46、orld a better place? You can say that you11 continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this worldThats the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that pathTherefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understandIt might lead to some interesting results51The a
