favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries.This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster(除锈剂).If you have a bunch of small rusty objects,put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning.Coke helps to break down the rust,making cleaning much easier.Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.Like the previous item,the citric acid(柠檬酸)in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner.This is especially useful for car windows.Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window,then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink.As coke is fullof sugar,you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses,or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.For those of you who live in areas where skunk(臭鼬)smells can be an issue from time to time,one can of coke added to water with detergent(清洁剂)really helps to break the smell down.If you have been sprayed,stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke wait for a few minutes,then wash yourself with a shower.Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!.Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom.The black is almost impossible to remove;this is caused

so,wash the pot as normal.8.What does the underlined word“scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Start.B.Cleaning.C.Shake.D.Example.9.What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A.Use a dry

pass the exams to enter high school.When the term began,however,his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought.Still,William wanted to learn.He made the village library his school.One day,he found a book calledUsing Energy.On the books cover was a picture of windmills,tall steel towers with blades(叶片)spinning like giant fans.He learned that windsomething of which his hometown had plentycould produce electricity.He couldnt help picturing his own windmill in mind,but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months.In a junkyard,he dug through piles of used metal,old cars,and worn-out tractors,searching for anything that might help him construct his machine.He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe,which he melted over a fire,flattened out,and hardened with bamboo poles.Earning some money,he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston(活塞)to the pedal sprocket(踏板链轮)of an old bicycle frame.This would be the axle(轮轴)of the windmill.When the wind blew,the spinning blades would turn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo(发电机),donated by his friend.When he had collected all the parts,William began putting them together.He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found,using washers(垫圈)hed made from bottle caps.Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame.With the help of his two best friends,Williambuilt a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top.The big moments eventually came.He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb.As the wind whipped around him,the blades began to turn,slowly at first,then faster and faster.The light bulb flickered(闪烁),then flashed to life.The crowd cheered from below.“Wachitabwina(well done)!”Williams machine now powered his house.And the story of the boy whod built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet.12.After readingUsing Energy,what did William decide to do?A.Make use of wind.B.Enter a high school.C.Build a village library.D.Learn to survive a drought.13.According to Para.3,which of the following word can best describe William?A.Humorous.B.Determined.C.Cooperative.D.Friendly.14.What can you learn about Williams machine?A.It was built by villagers.B.It worked at the first attempt.C.It took him years to complete it.D.It was made from metal materials.15.What is the besttitle for the passage?A.Winds Of Hope B.Ideas Worth Spreading C.Learning from Experience D.Windmills for Villages
