My dear friend has invited me to speak at a women’s conference she was holding in Honduras.
The night before I was to leave, I decided a warm bath would help me sleep. I twisted the hot water handle on the tub (浴缸) and waited. I complained, “Let me have some warm water!”It took forever for the hot water to work its way through the pipes to the back of the house. Needles to say, the bath wasn’t relaxing.
The next afternoon, I arrived in Honduras. After the conference, my friend took me to meet some of her family members. They lived in a stick-and-mud house and slept on dirt floors. The women cooked outside on the stove. Still, even in these awful conditions, everyone I met had a smile on his or her face. They were so generous and almost always insisted we stay for coffee.
On our way we passed a pond which was covered with green slime (粘液). One woman pushed the slime back with a stick while the other put the water into a bucket. I prayed, “Please don’t let them offer coffee. ”
After we were invited in, a little girl ran inside. She held a mango in each hand. The one in her left hand was half eaten. This little beauty held out her right hand and offered me the other mango, which I gladly accepted. Her eyes danced. I remember thinking, “She has no idea that she is poor. ”
When it was to leave, we walked outside and I noticed a muddy stream that ran beside their home. My friend said, “That is where they bathe. It is also where the animals drink and they push out waste.”
The evening I returned home I went into my perfect bathroom and twisted the hot water handle. While bathing, I thought of this simple pleasure. Clean water wasn’t my right; it was luck.

In a research lab in New Jersey. U.S, 16-year-old Alon Millet carefully squeezes out a special solution(溶液)onto some mung beans(绿豆)drop by drop, trying to help fight world hunger.
Last year, the teenager was one of the four students who received a $10,000 award from the US Agency for International development—chosen from 1,700 high schools in more than 70 countries. Millet’s experiments “could change the way plants are grown in the developing world”, protecting them against drought and natural disasters, said Courtney Mason, a program manager at the agency.
Three years ago, Millet’s father told him that an Israeli company had used a protein solution to make trees grow larger. And that, in tum., helped to produce more paper with fewer trees. “So I started thinking, ‘what else could this be used for?’” said Millet. He chose mung bean, an important crop in the developing world, which provides a good amount of protein and grows quickly. Then he contacted the company, FuturaGene, whose scientist agreed to share the solution.
He started experimenting. Could the beans grow larger and survive in tough environments? After three years of repeatedly putting the seeds into the solution, measuring, testing and examining, “some pretty good things happened, ”he said.
Donna Leonardi, his adviser, said she “sees a mature researcher in him, who sees the ‘big picture’ in what his research could do for people. And he’s not afraid to fail. He sees problems as challenges. ”
Millet is now on his 26th experiment with his mung beans, continuing his search for a better understanding of how the solution is changing the bean. 24. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us . A. the influence of Millet’s father on him B. the generosity of the company, FuturaGene C. what inspired his interest in the research D. why he chose mung beans for his research
