25、Frog

It was a poor village in India. One day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people who liked to eat frogs’ legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. They reached an agreement and people sent their children into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the frogs and give them the money. For the first time, the people could dream of a better future, but the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. It was more worrying that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided to use the money to buy pesticides and medicine. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people found out that it was the frog which was not useless. They had been doing an important job- eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing (增加) more quickly. They were eating the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

27、Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

A. Wind is the cleanest, richest and newest power source.

B. Windmills were first introduced to Middle East during 1100s.

C. Windmills were used in ancient Iran in the 7th Century BC.

D. Armies used windmills in Europe and the Middle East.

【2】What did people use windmills to do for many centuries?

A. To help make flour from wheat.

B. To help get water from the river.

C. To help make electric lights.

D. To help dig wells in faraway areas.

【3】When were the windmills used to produce electricity in some places?

A. In the 1100s.   B. In the 1940s.

C. In the 1970s.   D. In the 1800s

【4】Why was wind rediscovered during the 1970s?

A. Because coal and gas had been used up.

B. Because it was cheaper to produce electricity.
