2、t my best friends house. Though I knew I wouldnt tell her about my parents problem, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came

3、back on.I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that Id stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”“What is?” I asked.“To t

4、alk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what were going to do with your mom and dad, and what were going to do with ourselves now that were in the situation we are in.”“But we cant do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could shar

5、e my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.And thats how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting Acrein the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change, to how they sometimes dont change fast enough. That

6、 night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means youll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few

9、, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves but artificial (人造的) ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate thi

10、s seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are th

11、en stored in a fuel cell, which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “

12、One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensi

13、ve and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements

14、come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful, new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Be

15、sides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesnt need pure water. This is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new technology cou
