五． 阅读部分 Reading （共 10 个题，10 分）

William Kamkwamba
At only 14 years old, William Kamkwamba built a series of windmills that could generate

electricity in his African village, Masitala, in Makawi, south-eastern Africa.

In 2002,William Kamkwamba had to drop out of

school, as his father, a maize and tobacco farmer,

could no longer afford his school fees. But despite this

setback, William was determined to get his education.

He began visiting a local library that had just opened

in his old primary school, where he discovered a

tattered science book. With only a rudimentary grasp

of English, he taught himself basic physics-mainly by

studying photos and diagrams. Another book he found

there featured windmills on the cover and inspired

him to try and build his own.

He started by constructing a small model. Then, with the help of a cousin and friend, he spent many

weeks searching scrap yards and found old tractor fans, shock absorbers, plastic pipe and bicycle

parts, which he used to build the real thing.

For windmill blades, William cut some bath pipe in two lengthwise, then heated the pieces over hot

coals to press the curled edges flat. To bore holes into the blades, he stuck a nail through half a

corncob, heated the metal red and twisted it through the blades. It took three hours to repeatedly heat

the nail and bore the holes. He attached the blades to a tractor fan using proper nuts and bolts and

then to the back axle of a bicycle. Electricity was generated through the bicycle dynamo. When the

wind blew the blades, the bike chain spun the bike wheel, which charged the dynamo and sent a

current through wire to his house.

What he had built was a crude machine that produced 12 volts and powered four lights. When it

was all done, the windmill’s wingspan measured more than eight feet and sat on top of a rickety

tower 15 feet tall that swayed violently in strong gales. He eventually replaced the tower with a

sturdier one that stands 39 feet, and built a second machine that watered a family garden.
The windmill brought William Kamkwamba instant local fame, but despite his accomplishment, he

was still unable to return to school. However, news of his magetsi a mphepo - electric wind -spread

beyond Malawi, and eventually things began to change. An education official, who had heard news

of the windmill, came to visit his village and was amazed to learn that William had been out of

school for five years. He arrayed for him to attend secondary school at the government's expense and

brought journalists to the farm to see the windmill. Then a story published in the Malawi Daily Mail

caught the attention of bloggers, which in tum caught the attention of organizers for the Technology

Entertainment and Design conference.

In 2007, William spoke at the TED Global conference in Tanzania and got a standing ovation.

Businessmen stepped forward with offers to fund his education and projects, and with money

donated by them, he was able to put his cousin and several friends back into school and pay for some

medical needs of his family. With the donation, he also drilled a borehole for a well and water pump

in his village and installed drip irrigation in his father's fields.

The water pump has allowed his family to expand its crops. They have abandoned tobacco and new

grow maize, beans, soybeans, potatoes and peanuts. The windmills have also brought big lifestyle

and health changes to the other villagers. 'The village has changed a lot,1 William says. 'Now, the

time that they would have spent going to fetch water, they are using for doing other things. And also

the water they are drinking is dean water, so there is less disease. The villagers have also stopped

using kerosene and can use the money previously spent on fuel to buy other things.
William Kamkwamba's example has inspired other children in the village to pursue science.

William says they now see that if they put their mind to something, they can achieve it. 'It has

changed the way people think,’ he says.
