Scientists think that growing garden grass could be the secret to solving our energy needs, and we may soon be able to replace our gasoline with “grassoline”.

The team, including experts from Cardiff University in Wales, has shown that hydrogen can be taken from grass in useful amounts with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst(催化剂) —something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.

It is the first time that this has been shown and it could lead to a sustainable(可持续的) way of making hydrogen, reported Asian News International. This could be an important kind of renewable energy because it is high in energy and it does not give out harmful gases when it is burned.

Study co-author Michael Bowker said, “This is really a green source of energy. Hydrogen is seen as an important future energy carrier as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and our research has shown that even garden grass could be a good way of getting it.”

Cellulose(纤维素), which is a key part of plants and the biopolymer(生物聚合物) found in the largest

numbers on the earth, could be a great source of hydrogen.

In its study, the team looked at the possibility of getting hydrogen from cellulose using sunlight and a simple catalyst.

This is called photocatalysis(光催化作用) and in it, the sunlight starts the catalyst, which then makes cellulose and water into hydrogen. The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metal-based catalysts, of which nickel(镍) especially interested the researchers, as it is a much more common metal than gold and palladium(钯) and it saves more money.

According to Bowker, producing hydrogen from cellulose using photocatalysis has not been studied in detail. The team’s research shows that large amounts of hydrogen can be produced using this method with the help of a bit of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.

The study shows that it is effective to use real grass taken from a garden. “This is important as it avoids the need to separate and clean up cellulose, which can be both difficult and costly,” said Bowker. 32. What are needed to get hydrogen from grass? A. A catalyst and palladium. C. Sunlight and a biopolymer.

B. Water and cellulose. D. Sunlight and a catalyst.

33. Why is the new way of making hydrogen considered significant? A. It is cheap, green and sustainable.

B. It is the best to produce the renewable energy. C. It is more productive and efficient than other methods. D. It can replace the way to make fossil fuels completely.

34. Why does nickel interest the researchers in making hydrogen from cellulose? A. It can produce the largest amount of hydrogen. B. It can avoid separating and cleaning up cellulose. C. It is more common than other metals and costs less. D. It works quicker than other metals during photocatalysis. 35. What does the author intend to tell us mainly in this passage? A. Catalysts that could be taken from grass. B. A new way of making hydrogen from cellulose. C. The potential of hydrogen as a renewable energy. D. The connection between hydrogen and photocatalysis.

Word travels quickly in the small fishing village of Port Washington, Wisconsin. So when Mardy McGarry wanted to build a playground for kids with special needs, she knew it wouldn’t take long to create interest in the project. But she never expected that a third of the town people would join in it. 36 “A lot of learning comes through play,” says McGarry, a special education teacher for 28 years. She’d seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks.

When a piece of land became available, the city council agreed to choose a part for a playground. 37__ She asked classrooms of kids for their wish list. She also asked experts for help. And she brought on board her friend Sue Mayer, whose eight-year-old son, Sam, has a serious disease.

Her Kiwanis Club chapter came through with $ 7,000, and that’s when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $ 25,000 and had her company donate the same amount. 38 There were silent auctions(拍卖) and T-shirt sales. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000 balance if McGarry could raise the rest. The $ 450,000 covered materials, but the actual construction would cost an additional $ 900,000. Not a choice. But the community could build it.

On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the radio on the way to work and took the day off to help. 39 Ten-year-olds sanded surfaces.

Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County. There’s a giant pirate ship, a rock-climbing wall, high and low rings, monkey bars, sandboxes, swings, slides, bridges and so on. 40 It’s exactly what McGarry wanted. People used to ask why she wanted to build a playground just for children with disabilities. “They didn’t get it. It’s only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children,” she said. A. Soon smaller businesses were helping. B. All children play shoulder to shoulder. C. But her students were too often left out. D. Everyone thought it was really a great wonder. E. A couple in their 80s operated their own trucks.

F. McGarry started researching play equipment and contacting design firms. G. They rolled up their sleeves and used their weekdays to bring her idea to life.

From the back seat, we saw her 53 turn toward my father. “No,” she said. “I thought you did.” That was how a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour one, which was mostly spent in 54 .

On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were 55 in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the 56 . Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 57 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.

This is why road trips were like 58 universities to us. We 59 our PHDs(博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.

If we were 60 given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time would I put the suitcases in the car myself. 41. A. move 42. A. live up 43. A. took 44. A. anxious 45. A. wasted
