o be cheerful,” I said. Then I told them a story. In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the munity college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died and wouldn’t start again. So I left my car there and marched down the road to the college. As soon as I got there I called AAA(美国汽车协会 ) and arranged for a tow truck(拖车 ) to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day,” I replied, smiling. “Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled. “What do you mean?” “My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway but it didn’t.” I replied. “Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance from here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.” The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class. So ended my story. I scanned the sixty faces in my class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all.

D Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and feltthe rush of energy as waves came over you? asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. There is certainly a lot of energy in waves, he are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. The wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪 ), but if they keep on blowing, thoseripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, Taylor said. Waves are one of nature39。 s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.When waves e toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机 ). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity. The resource is huge, said Ja Swain of the World Watch Institute. We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or cover threequarters of the Earth39。 s surfacethat would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overe. Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are stillunknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. Demand for energy to power our TVs and puters, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world, Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity! 32. The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to ______. A. test the readers39。 knowledge about waves B. draw the readers39。 attention to the topic C. show Jamie Taylor39。 s importance D. invite the readers to answer them 33. The underlined。
