【題目】

A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight(手電筒) 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(晶體管).

Ann's prize includes $ 25,000 and a "once in a-lifetime expericnce" from Google for her Hollow Flashlight, which has no moving parts or batteries.

The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries(電池) 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 hope 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.

【題目】Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”.

For example, people who show no human emotions or feelings are thought to be cold-blooded. Cold can influence other parts of the body. But the expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be a CEO of company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned(辭職), and all the work of the company will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation.

The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back towards someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.

“A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who shows no love or warmth to others. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation.

“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise-he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

1If you get cold feet, this means that .

A. you feel brave to do something B. you feel too afraid and nervous to do something

C. you feel too cold to do something D. you feel very angry about doing something

2Henry got the cold shoulder when he invited Mary for dinner, that means .

A. Henry was treated politely when he asked Mary to have dinner together.

B. Henry was afraid to invite Mary to have dinner with him.

C. Mary didn’t care about Henry’s invitation and didn’t plan to have dinner with him

D. Mary behaved kindly and went to have dinner with Henry happily.

3What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Opinions about cold weather B. Expressions connected with “cold”

C. Relation between cold and body. D. Examples of people who have a cold.

4Which of the following shows the structure of the passages? (P=paragraph)

A. B. C. D.
