Do you know “Moser lamp”? Do you believe that plastic bottles and water can be used as lamps? The Brazilian scientist, Alfredo Moser, has invented “Moser lamp”. A Moser lamp can light a house without electricity and it is widely used in many countries.

A plastic bottle and some water are all the things that a “Moser lamp” needs. People should make a hole in the roof at first. The sunlight can be reflected(反射) into the room through the water-filled plastic bottle.

In 2002, the country’s electricity blackouts(断电) happened a lot in Brail. In order to light his room without electricity, Mr. Moser started doing experiments. Once, his boss suggested that he should try the way that a plastic bottle filled with water can light the dry grass in the sun. This helped Moser and soon he invented the lamp.

This invention is widely used all over the world.It is lighting up the world now especially in poor areas. Moser’s lamps have been used in over 140,000 houses in the Philippines, as well as in 15 other countries. This invention had been used in over a million houses by the end of 2015. He says that he has never thought his invention could be so popular. But it gives him so much pleasure when thinking of people using it.

“No, it’s not that. Today is the worst day of my life. First, I overslept (睡过头) and was late for an important meeting. My boss fired me.”

“When I left the building, I found my car was stolen. The police said they could do nothing.”

“I took a taxi to return home, and after I paid the taxi driver and the taxi driver had gone. I found that I left my wallet in the taxi.”

“I left home and came to this bar. When I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you showed up and drank my poison(毒药)…...”

Two good friends, Sam and Mason, met with a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation.” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Mason about it.” “Well…Well…OK,” Mr Lee replied.

From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have any family or friends except Mason. He felt very sad.

Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Mason came, Mr Lee gave him a letter from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Mason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I’m glad to see that you are as healthy and happy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend... Sam”. When Mason finished reading the letter, Mr Lee said, “I have promised that I will keep this a secret until Sam is gone. Now you know it.”

Mason stood there like a stone. Tears ran down his face.
