Q1) Read and answer the following questions:
Emily Cummins began ‘inventing’ when she was only four. She enjoyed making
things from waste material, like making toys from old things she found in her
grandfather’s garden. She was working on a school project when she had an idea to
help millions of people – a small, portable fridge to keep medicines or small food
items clean, dry and cool. In many parts of the world, people haven’t got electricity.
However, that doesn’t mean they have to live without a fridge. Emily’s fridge is
ideal because it doesn't use electricity. People can build it using old car parts and
other objects from their homes. She decided not to produce the fridge for profit.
Emily also invented a special water carrier. With Emily’s water carrier, they can
carry up to five containers of water. Emily has won many awards, including Woman
of the Year in 2009 CE (Common Era) and a ‘Save-the-Planet’ award in 2008 .
