• 10．Big Problems，Simple Solutions Inventions are improving health and well-being in communities around the world.Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.
     FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）
     In the developing world，smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year.In fact，it's the number one cause of death of children under five.Amy Smith，founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT），discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel.The material she uses is also free and plentiful：farm waste.
     Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes.These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel.They also burn hotter and last longer.Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste.This invention has an economic benefit，too.Farmers can buy the device for ＄2 and sell briquettes they don't use.Smith estimates（估算） that this can increase a farmer's income by ＄500 a month.
     DISASTER SHELTERS
     Over 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.After these disasters，many people live in terrible conditions-in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy.Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.
     Called the Reaction Ex，these shelters are small，one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people.They're made from a plastic that is strong，recyclable，and super light.In fact，they're so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well.McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.
  
  （1）The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to

  .
  A．increase family income
  B．make full use of farm waste
  C．get free and plentiful cooking fuel
  D．protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke
  （2）What are the features of disaster shelters？

  
  A．Light and affordable.
  B．Heavy and recyclable.
  C．Big and comfortable.
  D．Small and breakable.
  （3）What is the main purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To explain design methods.
  B．To introduce new inventions.
  C．To report research findings.
  D．To advertise latest products.

• 30．I always dreamed of pulling off the surprise prank （玩笑） of a lifetime.Well，thanks to a little determination，some luck，and the power of love，my dream became a reality.
      My family is Canadian，although my sister studied in Australia.She was graduating just before Christmas，but because my school schedule was busy，I would not be able to make it down in time for her graduation.She was understandably disappointed，and I felt guilty that I couldn't be there for her on this most special occasion.
      While I was talking to my teacher the week before the big event，I mentioned that I would be missing my sister's graduation.Surprisingly，she commented， "Well，if you want to go，I have no problem with it，so go ahead!" I couldn't believe my luck!I nearly jumped for joy.
      Immediately，I called the airline.Amazingly，even during the busy Christmas season，I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister's graduation.
      With this fantastic news，I was bursting to tell my sister.But，wait.For a grand surprise，I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell.What if I could arrive in a box？That would be the best Christmas present for my sister.
      Although I was leaving in less than seventy-two hours，I started searching for delivery companies.The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise，was CouriersPlease.At first the manager said no，because Christmas was their busiest season.But then later，he kindly volunteered to deliver me himself.
      Upon arrival in Australia，the manager and his colleagues loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sister's，where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her.I couldn't see the look on my sister's face，but I could tell from her voice that she was both shocked and excited to receive such a huge gift box.I will never forget the look on her face as she opened the box.
      It was such a great Christmas present for my sister，that is，for me to be able to go to her graduation，and in the process，show her how much I loved her.It also served as a lesson for me：
