江西省景德镇市乐平市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题
Nigeria is a hot and dry country in Africa where electricity is not available to many homes. Most people grow and sell their own fruit and vegetables. Keeping them fresh in the hot place is a real challenge. Without a fridge, most fresh food goes bad in a couple of days. Throwing away the food means losing money for poor families. Eating the bad food causes serious health problems.
Local teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was worried about this problem and decided to solve it. As a boy born into a family of clay pot(陶罐)makers, Mohammed knew that these traditional clay pots could keep water even when dry. In the 1990s he used this traditional knowledge and his understanding of science to invent a cooling system(冷却系统). It worked as a"desert fridge".
Mohammed's cooling system is made up of two pots —a small pot inside a larger pot. In the space between the two clay pots, there is wet sand. People put the fruit and vegetables in the smaller pot, and cover it with a wet cloth(布). Then they leave the larger pot in a dry place. When water from the sand evaporates(蒸发), it causes the temperature in the pots to go down. This way the food in the smaller pot is cool.
With the pot-in-pot cooling system, food stays fresh much longer. Mohammed's "desert fridge" has improved the lives of thousands of people. So in 2001 he won the Rolex Award for Enterprise, which is for the people who try to make the world a better place.
