For example, when he was quite young, he made fans (风扇) for his parents’ house from car parts and things he found in the yard. Richard lives near the Nairobi National Park in Kenya. It is home to rhinos, giraffes, lions and many other animals that live in Kenya (肯尼亚). When he was nine, Richard began to look after his family’s cows and sheep. The big problem was the lions. “I grew up hating lions,” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cows when we were sleeping.” Then one night, as he was walking around the cowshed (牛棚) with a flashlight in his hand, he noticed something. “That day the lions didn’t come.” Richard realized that lions are scared of a moving light, so he had an idea. Using some used parts from a car and a motorcycle (摩托车), Richard set up some flashing lights to trick the lions into thinking that people were walking around the cowshed. The lions didn’t come near. Soon other families were using his “lion lights”. Richard’s lion lights cost just ten dollars to make. They have not only helped the farmers but also the lions. Many lions have been killed by farmers trying to protect their animals. Now, across Kenya, Richard’s idea has been used by farmers to protect their animals. Richard has been accepted into one of Kenya’s top schools. “One year ago, I was just a boy looking after my father’s cows. Now I want to be an engineer or a pilot.” 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to ? A．A house. B．A park. C．A yard. D．An animal. 2．Richard got the idea of making “lion lights” when he was _________. A．sleeping. B．feeding cows. C．playing with a flashlight. D．walking around
