Few countries will admit officially that they employ spies. _36_, from time to time a spy is caught and the public sometimes gets a glimpse (一瞥) of what is going on behind _37_ scenes. Spies are rarely _38_ these days. They are frequently tried and imprisoned. If a(n) _39_ is important enough, he is sometimes _40_ to an enemy country in exchange for an equally important spy whom the enemy had caught. Few people have the _41_ to witness such exchanges, for they are carried out in _42_
One cold _43_ morning last year, a small blue car stopped on a _44_ in a provincial town in northern Germany. _45_ men dressed in heavy black coats got out and stood on the bridge. 46_ they waited there, they kept on looking over the side. Fifteen minutes later, a motor-boat sailed past and _47_ the river-bank. Three men got_48_ the boat and looked up at the bridge. The men on the bridge _49_ walked down the stone steps leading to the _50_. No words were spoken when they _51_ the men from the boat. After a while, the _52_ moved off and three men _53_ the bridge. Now only two of them were _54_ black coats. The third was dressed in a light grey jacket. Anyone who had been watching the_55_ might not realized that two master spies had been exchanged on that cold winter morning.

One of the world's richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions: visiting the toilet．Bill Gates’s charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world．
So, what's wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water．Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution．This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations estimates, unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations．Younger people are particularly at risk．Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year．Finally, standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas．
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank(化糞池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents．28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA．Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which converted human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine for flushing．
But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology（CIT）picked up a prize of $ 100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet．After the Seattle event he said, “We, couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten,” Gates has even pledged $370m more to the future toilet project．They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years．
【小題1】Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?

We make a living with what we get，but we make a life with what we give．
——Winston Churchill
I am willing to 36  this saying．I have been  37  at the Boston Children’s Hospital every year since 1 was thirteen．At the beginning，I only wanted to go  38  1 would get  39 for entertaining children at the hospital．After giving my time for two 40  months，my  40  changed completely．
When l first  41  into the waiting room on the ground floor，I was very  42  that I  would be spending my entire summer with kids．As it became  43  for me to show up every day at 8 a．m．，many kids began to  44  me．To my surprise，I began looking forward to seeing their 45  faces as well．They were always enthusiastic about  46 ．My heart warmed every time I heard their 47  voices asking me for a story or an answer to a question．I felt  48  and irreplaceable．(不可替代的)．As I look back，I see the  49  that these special children have had on me．It is because of them that I have  50  a desire to become a psychologist．Recently，I have volunteered for a month．I have been asked to 51 on many different floors besides the waiting room  52  I started．The kids on the floors above are usually there for a longer time．53  their anxiety and desire to get better and go home，they always offer me a(n)  54  smile．I feel renewed after spending a day with them because I realize that there is much more to  55  than money．It is much more important to love and to be loved．

Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of  1  other people’s cars as well．It was pretty   2   outside and I had no plans to   3   being in the bright sun．She   4   wanted to give lemonade（檸檬汽水）to passers-by for free．I had seen little kids  5   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt   6 , I decided to help her．

All that seemed   14   and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to   15  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   16  others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   17  to help clean cars．Passers-by were   18  and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they   19 ．A pretty heartwarming  scene !
I felt blessed by being surrounded by such wonderful and loving   20 ．
