(二)  聽力填空題

1.  So you mean an invention that uses skill and imagination ?

2.  So Kate McGeown says that even at 11 o'clock in the morning, the Menayis family home is virtually pitch black .

3.  But this is a good example of using the phrase necessity is the mother of invention .

4.  And once the sun shines through the bottle, the effect of the water means it is refracted – or spread out – across the room.

5.  Although I suppose to make it work you need one important ingredient.

(三)  聽力問答題

1.  How many people live in the slums in the Philippines ? How many of those people live in the capital city ?

20 million people live in slums in the Philippines, a tenth of them in the capital Manila.

2.  Why don't the people in the slums use normal lights ?

It might sound insignificant but because electricity prices are so high in the Philippines many people in the slums can't afford to switch on a light.

3.  Why do they need to add bleach to the water in the bottles ?

That's because if you leave water untreated it becomes stagnant and little organisms grow in the water, called algae.
