2.Ann Makosinski,16,was just another teenager with another science project when she joined her local science fair(展覽會) in Victoria,Canada.Her invention,a flashlight that is powered from hand heat,took second place at the competition.
"It's a very simple project,"said Arthur Makosinski,Ann's father."Let's move on and do something different."
But if Ann had left her project,the world may have missed out on a light source that doesn't use batteries,solar power or wind energy.
Two years ago,Ann found that a friend of hers in the Philippines didn't have electricity.According to Ann,her friend couldn't complete her homework and was failing in school."So I wanted to do something to help my friend in the Philippines,"said Ann.
Ann got to work.After a few experiments,her"hollow flashlight"was born.It shines for as long as you hold onto it.At the suggestion of Kate Paine,her ninth grade biology teacher,Ann submitted her flashlight into the Google Science Fair.
A few months later,in September,Ann was named a finalist in her age group.At the science fair's celebration night,Ann and Arthur stayed with top Google engineers,well-known scientists and some of the most creative kids on the planet.
Hers was the last name they expected to be called out the winner for her age group.When it was,Arthur almost dropped his camera!
And then there's the business of changing the original design for market.At about 24lumens (流明;光束強(qiáng)度單位),Ann's flashlight's brightness falls shy of commercial flashlights.
Of her efforts to increase her flashlight's efficiency,she said,"I want to make sure my flashlight is available to those who really need it."

29.What did Ann's father think about her idea of the flashlight?A
A.He didn't think much of it.
B.He was satisfied with it.
C.He considered it to be different.
D.He thought it would be hard to carry out.
30.Ann decided to work on the flashlightC.
A.a(chǎn)t the request of her friend
B.under her parents'encouragement
C.a(chǎn)fter learning about her friend's situation
D.to help people who lack access to electricity
31.The underlined part"Arthur almost dropped his camera"shows thatB.
A.he was a little careless
B.he was shocked by the result
C.he was delighted at the result
D.he was eager to take a picture of Ann
32.What do we know about Ann's flashlight?D
A.It works better than commercial flashlights.
B.It has made a difference to the poor.
C.It has been put on the market.
D.It needs improving.

11.Taylor Swift was born on December 13,1989,in Wyomissing,Pennsylvania.Swift's family ran a farm."I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old,"said Swift's mother."If my dream had gone well,she'd be in a horse show right now."The only obvious forerunner (先驅(qū)) of Swift's musical talent was her grandmother,an opera singer.
That talent showed itself early:when the family went to see a Disney musical film,Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly.At the age of 11,she sang"The Star-Spangled Banner"at a Philadelphia 76ers game.The experiences during her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift's talent.As a child,she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown,but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing.Although it was her hometown,she didn't know any of her classmates,and she was terrified.Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs,and put her feelings into songs of her own.
One of her future hits,"The Outside",was written when she was only 12."I wrote that about the scariest feeling I've ever felt:going to school,looking at those faces,and not knowing who you're gonna talk to that day,"she said."In the music,I could never feel the kind of rejection (拒絕) that I felt in middle school."Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands.They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville,Tennessee.
Swift had the ability,above all,to put feelings into words with accuracy (準(zhǔn)確) far beyond her years.In"Our Song"she wrote,"Our song is the slamming screen door,going out late,tapping on your window."In the summer of 2006,"Tim McGraw"came out,and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star.

A.when she was twelve years old.
B.a(chǎn)fter"The Outside"became a hit.
