Edison-style light bulb and CFLs
1.About 130 years ago, Thomas Edison of the USA invented the light bulb. Edison’s bulb has turned night into day ever since. But today, many want to turn the light off. 2.The European Union recently decided that by 2009, people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb. Instead, they should use compact fluorescent lamps(CFLs節能燈). 3.“CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run,” said a British official. CFLs use 67 percent less electricity than the older bulbs. They last up to times longer. Scientists say that if everyone used CFLs, electrify use would be cut 18 percent. There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases given off. 4.But it’s difficult to make people change their lighting habits. First the CFLs are more expensive. They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs. Many people don’t like the CFL bulbs. They find it too bright. You cannot change the light of a CFL, either. 5.CFLs have been around for several years. However, the older lights still make up about two-thirds of total light bulb sales.

B. Edison made the world bright
C. The older style lights are still used widely

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是歐盟決定到2009年將停止使用愛迪生發明的燈泡，而使用節能燈，這是因為節能燈有很多的優點。但是大多數人們還是喜歡使用舊式的燈泡，他們覺得節能燈也有很多缺點。

1.根據這一段的內容中Thomas Edison of the USA invented the light bulb.可知，這一段主要給我們講述的是愛迪生發明了電燈，因此B選項愛迪生使世界變得明亮，能概括這一段的大意。故選B。

2.這一段主要告訴我們的是歐盟最近做出決定，到2009年將停止愛迪生發明的燈泡，取而代之的是節能燈。故A選項什么時候開始使用節能燈正是這一段的大意。故選A。

3.根據這一段中“CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run,”可知，節能燈可以節省能源，使用的時間更長，長遠看來就可以省錢。所以這一段主要告訴我們的是節能燈的好處。故選D。

4.根據這一段中the CFLs are more expensive、They find it too bright、You cannot change the light of a CFL, either可知，這一段主要告訴我們的是節能燈的一些缺點。故選E。

5.根據這一段中However, the older lights still make up about two-thirds of total light bulb sales可知，舊式的燈泡仍然占據了燈泡銷售的大約三分之二。由此可知，舊式的燈泡現在仍然在廣泛的使用。故選C。
