                                                                                                               掌 声
       我常常想起一个关于掌声的故事。
       那是我上高中一年级的时候,班里有位叫英子的女孩,她文静漂亮,但是总爱蜷缩在教室的一角。上课前,她早早就来到教室里,下课后,她总是最后一个离开教室。后来我们才知道,她的腿因为患小儿麻痹症而残疾了,她不愿意让人看到她走路的姿势。
       一天,上讲演课时,老师让同学们走上讲台讲述一个小故事。轮到英子讲演的时候,全班40多双眼睛一齐投向了那个角落,英子立刻把头低了下去。老师是刚调来的,还不了解英子的情况。
       英子犹豫了一会儿,慢慢地站了起来。我们注意到英子的眼圈儿红了。
       在全班同学的注视下,英子终于一摇一晃地走上了讲台。就在她刚刚站定的那一刻,不知是在谁的带动下,骤然间响起了一阵掌声,那掌声热烈、持久。
       掌声渐渐平息,英子也定了定情绪,开始讲述她童年的一个小故事。当她结束讲演的时候,班里又响起了一阵掌声。英子很有礼貌地向老师深鞠一躬,又向同学们深鞠一躬,然后,在掌声里一摇一晃地走下了讲台。
       奇怪的是,自从那次讲演以后,英子不再那么忧郁了,她和同学们一起玩游戏说笑。英子的学习成绩一直很好,尤其是数学和物理。高二那一年,她代表我们学校参加了全国奥林匹克数学竞赛,还获了奖。
       高中毕业后,英子被北京的一所大学破格录取。后来,英子给我来信说:“我永远不会忘记那一次掌声,因为它使我明白了,同学们并没有歧视我。我应该鼓起勇气面对生活,那次掌声给了我第二次生命……”
       我这才明白英子变得开朗活泼的原因。从那以后,我学会了用心去给别人鼓掌,尤其是当别人身处困境的时候。其实,人都是需要掌声的,我们既需要别人的肯定,也需要充分地肯定别人。在人生的舞台上,谁不希望自己的演出得到喝彩?掌声,是一种尊重,更是对一个生命的鼓励和肯定。

    California has become the first U.S. state to approve plans to require newly-built homes to include solar equipment.

    The state's Energy Commission voted 5-0 to approve the new rules, which are to take effect in 2020. The rules will deal with most newly-built residential (住宅的) buildings up to three stories high.

    The move is California's latest step aimed at reaching renewable energy targets and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

    California has set a goal of filling half of its electricity needs with renewable energy by 2030. Officials said they had reached 30 percent by the end of 2017. The state's Governor, Jerry Brown, plans to hold an international climate meeting in September.

    ①The Energy Commission said the cost of adding solar equipment to a single-family home would be about $9,500. But, the group added that homeowners would save at least $19,000 in energy costs over 30 years.

    Robert Raymer is the technical director for the California Building Industry Association. He says the action is a step forward for the wider use of solar power in the U.S. "You can bet every other of the 49 states will be watching closely to see what happens," he told the Associated Press.

    ②Solar companies praised the new requirements, which officials have said will likely raise demand for solar equipment in California by 10-15 percent.

    The Solar Energy Industries Association called it a "historic decision for the state and the U.S." It estimated the action would produce "huge economic and environmental benefits," including bringing tens of billions of dollars into California.

    ③Some legislative and community leaders argued that Californians cannot afford to pay any more for housing in what is already an extremely high-priced market.

    "That's just going to drive the cost up and make California, once again, not affordable to live in," said California Assemblyman Brian Dahle.

    ④Severin Borenstein is an energy economist at the University of California, in Berkeley. He sent an email to the head of California's Energy Commission to urge the state to reconsider its decision.

    He expressed his belief that it is a mistake for California to approve such a policy instead of centering on efforts to develop large solar farms to produce renewable energy. He said these farms would cost much less to operate.

    "Every energy economist I know is shaking their head at this," he told the Wall Street Journal. "In many ways, this is setting the wrong example," he added.
