Lesson 7
How Light from a Bottle Can Change the World
班級____________ 座號____________ 姓名______________________

All over the world, millions of people suffer great 1h_____p. Many live in small
huts with metal roofs and no windows. These people can hardly 2a_____d to have
electrical power, and it goes 3w_____t saying that their homes are in 4d_____s all day.
Many people 5o_____e small businesses in their homes, such as 6m_____ding clothes,
making 7f_____e, or fixing things. 8W_____king without light is very difficult, so
what can they do? 9A_____lly, an answer came from a Brazilian 10m_____c named
Alfredo Moser.
In 2002, Alfredo was upset about Brazil’s 11
f_____t blackouts. One day, he
noticed the sun’s 12r_____ys on a bottle of water making a 13r_____n on the wall. It
14
o_____red to him that there was a way to bring light into his house. He used a
15
p_____c bottle filled with water and a little bleach. The bleach kept the bottle clean
by stopping algae 16f_____m growing in the water. Alfredo 17p_____ed the bottle into
a hole he made in his roof. As he 18
e_____ted, the bottle refracted sunlight from
19
o_____e. It 20
f_____led his room with the same amount of light that a 50-watt
21
b_____b makes.
After Alfredo lit 22_____ his own home, he made bottle lamps for his neighbors.
They were 23e_____r to have more light in their homes as well. Soon, people far from
his hometown were talking about his 24i_____n. Bottle lamps even caught 25_____ in
other countries. For e_____e, in the Philippines, an organization called the
26

MyShelter Foundation helps poor people use green 27t_____y. It uses the bottle lamps
in its “One Liter of Light” 28p_____t to help people without electricity. The lamps are
also 29c_____ging lives in India, Indonesia, and other places. Some people 30g_____w
food by using light from the bottle lamps. Other people 31e_____n a little money by
32
i_____ling and repairing those lamps.
The bottle lamp is a simple 33
d_____e. It 34c_____ts almost nothing to make and
install. Yet it is making life a little easier for millions of people c_____t in the
35

poverty trap. It is also a great example of 36h_____w a useful idea can grow. People
living in poor or 37r_____e areas see their neighbors using a bottle lamp and realize
they can get one very 38e_____ily. Alfredo Moser has shown us how to change the
world with a simple idea. He has also 39
p_____ed that not every great modern
invention is 40d_____t on high-tech design skills.
