A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight(手电筒)getting power from the holder's
body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.
Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition.Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.
Winning the science and technology competition was“a surprise”．Ann said，“I think it will have a great influence on my future.”
Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors (晶体管)．
Ann's prize includes $25，000 and a“once-in-a-lifetime experience” from Google for her Hollow Flashlight，which has no moving parts or batteries.
The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience.When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines，she saw the friend couldn't study when it became dark because there was no electricity or light.She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries—Hollow Flashlight.
In her project，Ann wrote “I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials.They do not create any noise and will always work.The flashlight needs at least a 5℃ temperature difference between the holder's body and the environment around to produce light.”
A video of Ann explaining how she created the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet.
Though Ann was successful，she has not made a decision about her career path.Ann hopes that she can find a way to join her love of film and science together.
The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries.The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.

There are many ways you can practise and 25.improve (提高) your English outside the classroom.Following are some examples：
◆Get an English-speaking pen friend.This is a great way to practise your English!
◆You can learn English from 26.magazines (杂志) or newspapers.Read a story in your 27.own (自己的) language first，and then read it in English to see how 28.well (好) you can understand.
◆Buy or borrow a book that is 29.fit/suitable (合适的) for you.The stories are interesting and the language isn't too difficult.You'll 30.start/begin (开始) to enjoy reading English.
◆It's a good idea to listen to songs by one of your favorite English-speaking 31.bands (乐队)．You needn't get every word 32.clearly (清楚地)．
◆You can try an English learning 33.website (网站) or just read about your favorite film stars or sports people.80% of the Internet is in English and there's a lot of interesting information there.
◆And don't 34.forget (忘记) to watch TV，for example，CCTV 9，or films in English.It's also a fun way to practise your listening.
四、语法填空：阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，或运用首字母提示填入正确的单词。
It is said that Thomas Alva Edison was the 35.first (one) person to say hello over the telephone.But Edison didn't invent “hello”．As a matter of fact，the greeting (问候) had been used around for 36.centuries (century) before the invention of the telephone in 1876.
In ancient times, people greeted (和??打招呼) each other with “hallow”，which may have come from the old 37.French (France) word “hola”．
The Americans said “hullo” to each other every day.But “hello” became a way of making contact (联系) after the telephone 38.was_invented (invent)．
So，Edison made “hello” a popular greeting and an important part of 39.our (we) lives.But Alexander Graham Bell，who invented the telephone，40.never liked “hello” and supported the use of “ahoy”．
With the 41.development (develop) of the telephone，“hello” became a general greeting very soon.Webster's dictionary kept “hello” a greeting word even 42.though Alexander Graham Bell said no to the greeting all his 43.life! But the dictionaries continued 44.to_keep (keep) “hello” a standard (标准的) greeting in the English language.Hello，Alexander Graham Bell，are you listening?
五、书面表达。
发明改变了世界，改变了我们的生活。比如，电视和自行车给我们的生活带来了许多变化和便利。请你以“Inventions”为话题，根据提示写一份报告，先介绍电视和自行车的用途，再发挥想象，说说你想发明的东西，并说明其用途或发明的理由。

3．词数不少于80。开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Good morning，everyone！Today I'm going to talk about inventions.
Inventions are created every day because people would like to make life easier.There are famous inventions like the TV and the bicycle. TV provides us with different kinds of information so that we can know more about the world. We watch entertainment programs to relax ourselves. Besides，some learning programs help us with our study.
The bicycle is very useful，too.We go to school or work by bike.It's not so expensive that most of us can afford it. It makes no pollution，which is good for our environment. What's more，bicycle riding is a kind of exciting sports which is quite good for our health.
Though there have been many great inventions，I wish to invent a kind of pen which can help us write more quickly and neatly. When we meet problems in doing our homework or taking exams，it will tell us how to solve them!
That's all.Thank you very much!
