A
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 was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google’s international science and technology competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.
Winning the science and technology competition was “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 Flash-light, 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.

Next time you hold a book in your hands, stop and think. Like most other things in the modern world, it is the result of thousands of years of human invention.
First, came the invention of writing, 61 (probable) about 5,500 years ago. With writing, people did not have to remember everything in their heads. They could communicate with people that they never 62 (see) and share their knowledge with future generations.
Later the Greeks were well-done for their literature(文学) and science, but their“books” looked very different 63 the books of today. They were called scrolls(卷轴). They were difficult to use and took a lot of space in a library. About 2,000 years ago, books with lots of pages 64 (invent).
For more than a thousand years, the pages of books were made from animal skin. That changed in 65 thirteenth century, when Europeans learned about a very 66 (use) Chinese invention: paper.
But the 67 (big) change for books in Europe came in 1439, when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. Before that, books in Europe were copied by hand, so they were very expensive. Many more people could afford the books that were produced on a printing press.
These days it is difficult 68 (imagine)a world without books. But human invention does not stop. Every year, more 69 (story) are bought as e-books and read on a screen.
Will anyone turn the pages of a traditional book in the future, 70 will books, like scrolls, soon disappear
