六、阅读短文,回答问题
Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans' eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.
Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people's eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to find a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.
One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.
Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money for many villagers, who only earned $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. Evans used recycled materials.
Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, "Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook." The solar lamps made a big difference.

六、阅读短文，回答问题
埃文斯·瓦东戈来自非洲的一个村庄。他不得不借着煤油灯的光做作业。埃文斯的眼睛很痛，这使得学习变得困难。在他的村子里这种情况很常见。许多孩子因为这个原因辍学，所以他们的后半生都很贫穷。
尽管学习很困难，埃文斯还是一名优秀的学生，并上了大学。他仍然担心煤油灯的问题。这时，他意识到这不仅对学生不好，对整个家庭也不好。首先，它会引发咳嗽等疾病。而且，灯光会伤害人们的眼睛。此外，它还可能引发火灾。最后，煤油很贵，所以家庭用于食物的钱就更少了。很难找到一种既便宜又环保的不同类型的灯。然而埃文斯没有放弃。
有一天，他有了一个主意。他可以使用一盏小型太阳能灯。阳光是免费的，而且太阳能对环境有益。埃文斯制作了他的第一盏太阳能灯，而且它能正常使用。他开始制作更多的灯，并把它们送给当地的家庭。一个组织听说了这件事，为他提供资金来制作更多的太阳能灯。
每盏灯只花费20美元。然而，对于许多每周只挣34美元的村民来说，这是一笔不小的数目，所以埃文斯确保降低成本。埃文斯使用可回收材料。
成千上万的人有了安全的照明。朱莉娅，一位三个孩子的母亲，说：“多亏了埃文斯，我的孩子们有灯光可以读书，我也有我自己的灯光可以做饭。”太阳能灯带来了很大的改变。
