(10 points)Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is onthe Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I 36 my car and was about to drive off, I 37 at the roadside. A piece of paper 38 my eye. I picked it up and read it 39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that. The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting theowners 40 of their Vehicles Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and 1 41: no one would throw this away, especially 42 it was current. I also looked over the form forcontact or any personal 43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed 2 44 .The form had been blown by the wind, so 45 would I find the owners? Had it been lyingthere for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and 46 the names of the owners , whomust47 in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n） 48 addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong 49 , how frantic（慌乱的）Id be. But it was much _50_ to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the 51 , so I did as I thought. My hunch（预感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple 52 my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and 53 the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to 54 another 8,000. It felt great to know Id helped someone avoida major trouble by doing 55 that at first glance seemed minor.1、 AfoundBstartedCboughtDparked2、.

(40 points)Text 1 Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholms KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr，Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the woods lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings.Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the tra
