Young novelist
Suzanne Todd has just won the Best New Writer Prize for her first book, Roadrunner. The idea for the book came from her own travels－four years ago she decided to give up her job in a bank to go round the world on her own for a year.
“I was tired of doing the same thing every day and wanted to find some excitement before it was too late,” she says. “It was fun getting ready for the trip, and thinking about all the things I would do. But when the day came to leave, I was suddenly afraid, and I didn’t want to go. I kept thinking, what am I doing? What’s wrong with me? I have no job, no money, and I am all by myself! I felt so worried sitting on the plane that I was counting the weeks until I could come back! But once the plane landed, I realized how exciting life was, and how lucky I was able to do this. I saw many wonderful things, and in India I met Richard, who is now my husband.”
Back home, she started writing Roadrunner. This novel is about Tara Roberts, who decides to give up her job and travel round the world, and it sounds like it is all a true story about Suzanne. “Tara goes to the same places as me and feels the same about them, but I don’t have her crazy way of behaving or get into danger as she does,” Suzanne explains.
Suzanne’s second book, called Sailing, shows Tara in different funny situations, and unusually for a second book, is just as enjoyable as the first. This is even more surprising when you consider that since the birth of her son, Suzanne has had to find the time for writing while looking after him. “I have to plan things better now,” she says.
Roadrunner is going to be made into a film, a third and final novel about Tara is planned, and Suzanne is still only 29. How does she feel about her future? “I just take things as they come,” she says with a smile.

Pollution inside homes and buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.
One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol-4”. “It’s four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”
The “Sol-4” works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct（把……对准）the light as a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.
The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.
At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight. Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

4.How soon can water be boiled in the “Sol-4”?
A.That is much faster than cooking with natural gas. B.Within two minutes.
C.That is as slow as cooking with electricity. D.In only four minutes.
5.From the passage, we can infer that .

B.more Africans can use the solar cooker in the future
C.the “Sol-4” is the first product of the South African company

Once upon a time, a hippo lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a bird came and nested in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn’t think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally，the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However，when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings, nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing on the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
