This 12﹣year﹣old Girl Built a Robot to Find Plastics in the Ocean

    Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there.She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.

    Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist﹣first. by doing a little research. That's how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year.

    Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem;a remote﹣operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.

    The actually cool part of Du's ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.

    "She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it," says engineer Casey Machado. "It sounds simple, but it's a level of thinking that's really amazing."

    Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.

    When asked about future plans,she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候)change."I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions," says Du.

    Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.

    "I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems," says Du."But I'm not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet."

(1)What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach?  

(2)How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem?  

(3)What can Du's ROV do?  

(4)Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future?  

(5)What made Du succeed in building her ROV?

There are plenty of myths(神话) to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man﹣made moon. It will give us much more light than the natural Moon.

    China is preparing to put a man﹣made moon in the sky above Chengdu by the end of 2020.It will reflect sunlight back onto the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022,according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted(预言) that the man﹣made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one.

    This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it much closer to us than the moon, which is over 380 ,000 kilometers away,Wu added.

    If the plan works, the man﹣made moon will save a lot of power.Scientist predicted that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan in electricity every year if a new moon lit up 50 square kilometers of the city.And in 2022 , four man﹣made moons can take turns reflecting sunlight as they will not always be in the best position relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6 ,400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24 hours.That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China,so reducing the need for streetlights.

(1)Which country is preparing to put a man﹣made moon in the sky above Chengdu by the end of 2020?

  

(2)What does Wu Chunfeng do?

  

(3)How far is it from the Moon to the Earth?

  

(4)Will it reduce the need for streetlights if the plan of man﹣made moons succeed?

  

(5)What do you think of this plan ?

Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around. They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功能). This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.

   The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain.Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded﹣using the information on the children's addresses from birth up through to the time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力不集中)were graded with computers.

   "This is the first study that shows the association between long﹣term exposure to green space and brain structure." Says Dr. Payam Dadvand, the leading researcher of the study. "Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain."

   The findings show that long﹣term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.

   Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.

   Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingly, green space is thought to promptimportant exercises in discovery, creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.

   Dr. Dadvand's study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development. It also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.

   Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space.

(1)The second paragraph is mainly about   

A. how the study was performed

B. what was recorded in the study

C. how long the study lasted

D. who took part in the study

(2)The word "prompt" in paragraph 6 probably means "   ".

A. control

B. encourage

C. balance

D. change

(3)What can we learn from the passage?   

A. Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain.

B. Dr. Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment.

C. Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain.

D. Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development.

Texting while driving is against the law in 47 states. But what about texting while walking? A 2018 study reported that more than 2, 500 people in the US ended up in hospitals resulting from using a mobile device(设备) while walking.

    Hawaii passed a law making it illegal(违法的) to text or look down at a mobile device while crossing the street. It is the first state with a law like this. Do people think more places should accept such a law? The LA Times did a survey. Here are some replies they received.

Rena Jose, 2, New York

Which is more important, texting or safety? If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or traffic lights turn red. It can be very dangerous. For example, in Japan, one person fell into a lake and another got her leg stuck in a hole, because both had their mind on their phone. We should make texting while crossing the street illegal in more cities.

Andy Selvam, 55, California

People do many things that cause injury to themselves but are not illegal, such as climbing mountains, driving cars, swimming and so on. People might get hurt from texting and walking if they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.

Bob Madigan, 45, Oregon

As humans, we can make our own decisions. I'm not saying it's safe, but we don't need the government to babysit us. If we want to learn to make smart decisions, the government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country.

Andrew Black, 34, Alaska

This law is a good idea﹣compare this protection with seat belts. If this law is passed all over US, people will be worried. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be safe and good for all Americans.

(1)According to the passage, in  , it is against the law if people text while crossing the street.

A. Alaska

B. California

C. Hawaii

D. New York

(2)The LA Times did the survey most probably to  

A. win the hearts of more readers

B. encourage more states to pass the law

C. ask readers if they agree with texting while driving

D. learn about people's opinions on texting while walking

(3)In Rena's reply, she showed the danger of texting while walking by  

A. using numbers

B. giving examples

C. asking questions

D. telling stories

(4)Which of the following is Andrew Black's opinion?  

A. Texting is more important than safety.

B. The law would help to keep Americans safe.

C. It's easy to please everyone when passing a law.

D. Whether to text or not while walking is people's own choice.

"Made in China" is having its moment now﹣and it's a fashionable one.

    The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands(品牌), suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs﹣sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.

    Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers' eye by low price. He told CNN, " They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.

On March 10,2019,eight﹣year﹣old Tani won the New York Chess Championship (纽约象棋冠军赛)of his age group. But the boy, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.

    Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017. A church helped him enter the primary school, P.S.116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a part﹣time teacher Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven﹣year﹣old asked his mother to allow him to join the club. Not able to afford the chess classes, she emailed Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could learn it for free.

    Though the chess club helps, it's largely believed that Tani's success lies in his hard work. The boy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday, Tani goes to a free 3﹣hour class to improve his game skills.

    Not surprisingly,Tani's story, first reported by The New York Times, has brought him great support from the American public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe activity for Tani and his family so that he could continue his chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money keeps coming. But the family donates (捐赠)most of the money to the church and to those poor families!

    Tani has also received offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family have politely refused all of them and chosen to continue Tani's education at P.S.116.

    The young boy's story also caught the eye of Bill Clinton,the 42nd US President. "Tani,you're an example of a winning spirit ﹣ in chess and in life. I'd love to meet you," he said on his Facebook.

    While excited about his new life,Tani is ready to meet great challenges (挑战).He is busy preparing for the 2019 National Primary Championships.

At home, the teachers seem a bit strict and serious. There are a lot of rules, too. Here, teachers are patient and don't give much homework. We students go out of school and buy pizza or burgers at lunchtime.

We can't do that in Poland.
