阅读理解
I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a
farming community on the edge(边缘) of Nairobi National
Park of Kenya(肯尼亚). Since the age of nine. I have
helped to look after my family's cows. As a child, in my free time. I enjoyed
playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys
from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices(仪器) for my neighbors.
At the age of 13, I invented something that
changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One
night, a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our
cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way
to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution
The first idea I got was to use fire,
because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that didn't
really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed (牛棚). So I didn't give up. I continued.
And a second idea I got was to use a
scarecrow(稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions
into thinking) that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever.
They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But
the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it
is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animals.
So one night, I was walking around the
cowshed with a torch(手电筒), and that day the lions
didn't come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light. So I
had an idea.
