Mike Hayes of Rochelle, Illinois, proved he was smart in his first year at college. In 1987, while he was a student in the first year of the University of Illinois, he had gotten $2,500 from a job working at a store, but that money would not go far to pay the four years of tuition (学费) and college expenses that added up to around $28,000. His middle-class family had already put his older brothers through college. While Mike’s parents would have helped him to pay, Mike decided he did not want his parents going into debt for him. He came up with an idea to solve this problem. Mike wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene. He wanted each of the newspaper’s readers to send him a penny (分). Greene thought the idea sounded fun and agreed to do it. He shared Mike’s letter with his readers on September 6, 1987.
“Just one penny,” Mike said. “A penny doesn’t mean anything to anyone. If everyone who is reading your reports looks around the room right now, there will be a penny on the corner of the desk, or on the floor. That’s all I’m asking. A penny from each of your readers.”
In less than a month, the Many Pennies for Mike fund (基金) had around $23,000. Donations (捐款) were received from every state in the United States, and even Mexico, Canada, and the Bahamas. So, Mike achieved his $28,000 goal and went on to learn food science from the University of Illinois. In the end, Mike had this to say about the whole thing, “I just want to express my thanks to everyone … right now I’m feeling that the world is a pretty great place.”
24. What troubled Mike when he was in his first year at college? A. He couldn’t afford his tuition. B. He failed to find a part-time job. C. His parents were unwilling to help. D. His parents had huge debts to pay off.

The first lighthouses (灯塔) in America, which were built in the 1710s, used wood or coal as fuel (燃料). By the mid-1700s, American lighthouses began to use oil-burning lamps (灯). The lamps were lit and then placed in a high place so they could be seen from great distances.
The trouble with using oil lamps was that only a small percentage of the light produced by the lamp could be seen from the sea. Increasing the amount of light meant burning more fuel, which required bringing more oil to the lighthouse. This was a difficult job for the lighthouse keeper.
Many inventors tried different ways to increase the brightness of the light from oil lamps. By the early 1800s, American lighthouses used Argand lamps. Air coming from the base of this lamp made the light brighter. With the addition of a reflector, the Argand lamp became standard in American lighthouses until the 1850s. Ships fifteen miles away could see the light on a clear night.
In 1819, the French government asked scientist Augustin-Jean Fresnel to work on directing more light toward ships. Fresnel, who studied prisms (棱镜), began working on a special lens (透镜) that used many prisms. Fresnel was able to send 80 percent of the light, so ships could see the light from twenty miles away! The new lens was named the Fresnel lens. America began to use the new lens in the 1850s.
Over the years, sources of light continued to change. By the 1870s, lighthouses began to use kerosene fuel, and in 1886, electricity was first used. By the 1990s, many lighthouses started to use solar power. Electricity is still used in lighthouses today, but it is usually produced by solar power.
28. What was a disadvantage of the oil-burning lamp? A. It might result in fire. B. It was not bright enough.
C. It did not work well in bad weather. D. It might cause harm to lighthouse keepers.
