39. Read the following passage and answer the questions: (1+1+1+1=4)
A solar cooker is a device which uses the sun rays to heat and cook food. It is a type of solar
thermal collector. It has a mirror which ‚gathers‛ and traps the Sun’s heat energy. Many solar
cookers currently in use are relatively inexpensive, low-tech device because they use no fuel
and cost nothing to operate. The use of solar cooker is being promoted worldwide in order
to help reduce fuel costs and air pollution. This will also help to slow down deforestation
and desertification.
