13、Alfredo Moser is a Brazilian worker who is skilled at repairing machines. His wife says her husband has always been handy at home and made tables and chairs. Alfredo has invented a way of lighting his house during the day without electricity.
He has been using plastic bottles filled up with water and a little bleach(漂白剂) to provide dark rooms with light for many years. And the idea has now spread across the world. It is predicted that his lighting system, which works using refraction(折射) of the sunlight, will be fitted in over a million homes by the end of this year.
Alfredo used normal plastic drinks bottles that are often thrown away. The secret of the water in the bottles is the bleach added to water, which stops it turning green in the sunlight. Mr. Moser drills a hole in a roof tile and then pushes the bottle in from below, keeping the bottle in place with polyester resin (聚酯树脂). Depending on the strength of sunlight, the light fills his home, and the bottles are just like electric bulbs of between 40 and 60 watts.
Alfredo came up with the idea for his “Moser light’’ during one of the blackouts in Brazil in 2002. He said only factories had power in his home city, in southern Brazil during the energy shortage.
The local supermarket and his neighbors’ houses are using Moser lights. He earned a few dollars, but his invention has not made him a rich man. Now a great number of people admire what he is doing! 1．What did Alfredo’s wife think of him?

15、 My name is Linda. I was cute, active and happy—until that day when I was two years old. I had a bad fall and hurt one of my eyes. The doctor said that if the eye was taken out, my face would look worse, so my blind eye lives on with me.
People often ask me uncomfortable questions about my eye or even play jokes on me. When the kids played games, I was always the “bad guy”. Everyone looked down on me. Yet every time mom noticed I was unhappy, she would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” It helped me move on in life.

As a teenager I always looked down to hide my shame, but I found that people liked me when I held my head up high. In high school I was even made monitor. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the love that is inside.”
Mom’s love gave me confidence. Finally I was able to look people in the eye. I learned not only to appreciate (欣赏) myself but to have deep love for others. 1．What happened to the writer when she was two years old? A．She couldn’t see anything. C．She hurt one of her eyes.
