3．（6分）Thank you. It's my great honor to be given this award.
You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago，when I was 16，
I took an important exam﹣GCE（General Certificate of Education），which turned out
to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and saw that my position in class was 29th，but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the distinction of being bottom of my class.
I wasn't lazy，and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand
on my shoulder and said，"You can only do the best you can，but whatever you decide to do，make sure you love it." He was a really sweet guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was depresd for a week，but his advice was a wake﹣up call.
Fortunately I love working with my hands，and I was good at two things：woodwork and art，and I really loved to draw and paint. I was quite talented. Dad strongly encouraged me to go to art school，which in tho days wasn't the obvious place that a father would suggest.
So I got into Hartlepool College of Art. The college was a revelation（出乎意料），the passionate teachers there，who were extremely interested in the students，not just
tolerating them but actually engaging with them. It was a world apart from my schooling until then. It's extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do，drawing the student out，lighting independence，and encouraging a design of your own future，rather than waiting for something to happen. I'm honored to have become one of the passionate teachers years later.

Thank you for this great award. I shall find a very special place for it.

4．（8分）William had worked hard to 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 becau of the summer drought. Still，William wanted to learn.
He made the village library his school. One day，he found a book called Using
Energy. On the book's cover was a picture of windmills，tall steel towers with blades（叶片）spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind﹣something of which his hometown had plenty﹣could produce electricity.
He couldn't 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 ud metal，old cars，and worn﹣out tractors，arching 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）he'd 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，William built a 16﹣foot﹣tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety﹣pound windmill to the top.章宗

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 a
nd faster. The light bulb flickered（闪烁），then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. "Wachitabwina （well done）!"
William's machine now powered his hou. And the story of the boy who'd built a power﹣generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet.
（1）After reading Using Energy，what did William decide to do？
A. Make u of wind.
B. Enter a high school.
C. Build a village library.
