    Seth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University of Kentucky US. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.
    The United Nations Development Program says a billion and a half people have no electricity. A billion others have an undependable supply.
    Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.
    Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a separate fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do.
    DeBOLT said, "The people at most risk with respect to energy poverty, typically they're the same people who have food insecurity issues as it is. And then any change in availability would be most damaging to that group of people."
    But he found one item that was in plentiful supply and would not create competition between food and fuel. Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says it has an "excellent" heating value. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.
    DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power. "Coconuts are growing here and these are the areas where there is possibility for energy poverty to be eased at least in part by these small-scale production systems."
    The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well.
    But DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste produced in the process. And there needs to be money to get these projects started.

    Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, "Versed".

    "I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win," said Armantrout.

    "For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising."

    Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

    In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Versed."

    "This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, "but I don't feel as if it's better."

    The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

    Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. "Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry," said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

    "Versed", published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

    1.According to Rae Armantrout, __________

    A．her 10th book is much better

    B．her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected

    C．the media is surprised at her works

    D．she likes being recognized by her readers

    2.Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?

    A．She published a poetry textbook.

    B．She used to teach Denise Levertov.

    C．She started a poets' group with others.

    D．She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.

    3.What can we learn about "Versed"?

    A．It partly concerns the poet's own life.

    B．It is mainly about the American army.

    C．It is a book published two decades ago.

    D．It consists of three parts.

    4.Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she __________.

    A．should write more                      B．has a sweet voice

    C．deserves the prize                      D．is a strange professor

    5.What can we learn from the text?

    A. "Versed" has been awarded twice.      B. Cancer made Armantrout stop writing.

    C. Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD.      D. About 2,700 copies of "Versed" will be printed.
