She won the recent Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, which recognizes creative business solutions to social problems-the same recognition was given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her two inventionsthe Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drinkhave been causing excitement internationally since their creation.When Makosinski was 15 years old, she created a flashlight powered by the heat of ones hand. This invention was the result of a 9th grade science project, but her goal was to offer a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity. “One of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school because she had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration.” Makosinski explained.At 12th grade, Makosinski then went on to create the e-Drink. It is a coffee cup that harvests the extra heat of a hot drink while it cools, stores it as electricity in an internal(内置的)battery and makes it available to charge an external device such as a phone, whose life can now be longer by approximately 10 to 30 minutes.“My favorite part of creating inventions would be when you had the idea and you have to physically build it，and it doesnt work out,” she said. “So you have to figure out different ways to solve it. A lot of times, Ill give up and Ill come back after a couple of days and Ill take it up again.”Her advice to other student innovators? “Start now. Theres nothing holding you back. Actually, you can do whatever you want.” Makosinski said，“If you want to make something，follow your heart, then go ahead. If theres something you really want to do, you will make time for it and you will find time in the day to do your schoolwork.”1、Makosinsky created the powerless flashlight mainly to _.Asatisfy her desire to create inventionsBsettle problems in study for her friendChelp those who are short of electricityDfinish the assignment of a science project2、Which of the following is mainly e
