The kid inventors

Frank Epperson(1894-1983)

Did you ever run off and forgot your drink? That's what happened to 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905. He's been mixing drink with a stick, and left the cup outside all night. And it got cold. In the morning, Frank found a cup of frozen(冰冻的) sweet drink----with a handy stick to hold it. He thought that was pretty cool. So he made more. Soon , everyone was enjoying his Popsicle.

Chester Greenwood(1858-1937)

Chester Greenwood was a teenager with big ears. In the cold winters, those ears got cold, but Chester disliked hats and scarves. Then one day he got an idea while ice-stating. He asked his grandmother to add two pieces of warm fur(动物毛皮) to the

ends of a wire loop that fit over his head. And earmuffs, designed only to warm the ears, were born! Soon everyone wanted a pair. Chester set up a factory to make them. Margaret Knight(1838-1914)

Margaret Knight was the best kind of sister. She loved to make kites, cars and toys for her brothers and their friends. Margaret's mother worked in a cloth factory. One day Margaret saw some part of a loom(织布机) fly out and hit a young worker in the leg. Margaret quickly came up with an idea for a simple safety part that would prevent such accidents. The owner thought it was very useful and had some made. Nenjamin Franklin(1706-1790)

Benjamin Franklin was an American writer, printer, scientist and inventor. He helped found America and also invented many useful things. But Franklin's first invention was just for fun. As a kid, Ben loved swimming. He wanted to go faster. So he made

In 2016, the news was full of stories about dangerous drinking water in Flint, Michigan. The water had too much lead(铅）in it. Gitanjali Rao, 11, could not stop thinking about how worrying it must be to have polluted water coming out of your water tap.

There were home test machines that could detect(发现)lead in water. But these tests didn't work very well. They took too long and often gave wrong results. Gitanjali wondered if she could create a test that was quick, easy and right.

One day, Gitanjali read a news story about using carbon nanotubes(碳纳米管) to test for harmful things in the air. She wondered if she could use the same idea to detect lead in water.

To test her idea, Gitanjali needed a safe lab with tools that could sense tiny amounts(数量) of lead. She wrote to many labs with her idea, and every time she heard the same thing:“We can't let an 11-year-old kid in here.” Or they didn't reply

at all. Was her ideas so bad? What was she doing wrong?

Finally, Giranjali decided she was asking the wrong people. She emailed a chemistry teacher at her school. They didn't have a big lab, but it was good enough for Gitanjali to test whether her detector could sense lead at all. She had been paying too much attention to the equipment at big labs. But maybe she didn't need it just to show

- 4 -

her basic idea worked.

After many, many tries---her detector worked. Then Gitanjali made a phone app so users could see the results at once on their phones. She entered her idea in a big national competition in 2017 and later was named “America's Top Young Scientist”.

24. What did Gitanjali learn about Flint in 2016?

A.The people there spread news quickly.

B.The air pollution there was getting worse.

C.The drinking water there was unsafe to drink.

D.The water there was turned off several times a day.

25.What was the problem of those old home test machines?

A.They took up too much space.

B. They couldn't be carried easily.

C. They did harm to people's health.

D. They couldn't always get good results.

26. What can we guess about Gitanjali's detector?

A.It firs proved to be a success at a big lab.

B.It works only with the help of a phone app.

C.It can test for lead in water quickly and easily.

D.It was first used by her chemistry teacher at home.

27. Which of the following can best describe Gitanjali?

A.Polite and easy-going.

B. Honest and hard-working.

C. Friendly and warm-hearted.

D. Creative and strong-minded.

C

Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump(凸起), you may find evidence of human evolution(进化): it could be your body reacting to common smartphone use in the 21 century.

According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, young people increasingly have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突). Australian health scientist David Shahar, author of the study, told the BBC that

- 5 -

over the past 10 years he's seen more and more patents with EEOPs. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1200 skull x-rays from people aged 18-30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person's posture(坐立姿势).

They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.

According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines(脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.

Most of the EEOPs were just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.

In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted(强调) the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.

Many people assume our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In fact, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.

Apart from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking （缩小的）jaws(下巴），narrower elbows(肘) and smaller bodies. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?

28. What did the recent study find about EEOPs?

A.They grow on one's neck.

B.They may stop growing when you reach 30.

C.They could lead to many health problems.

D.They increasingly happen among young people.

29.What is the main cause of EEOPs?

A.Gene problems.

B. Aging bone layers.

C. Cellphone use.

D. Extra stress.

30.Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?

A.EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.

B.EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.

- 6 -

C.Young people's bones adapt in similar ways.

D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.

31.What's the main purpose of the text?

A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.

B.To suggest some healthy habits of using phones.

C.To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.

D. To show some recent changes in human bodies.

D

When I was a teen in the 80's and 90's, I remember feeling fear when watching

news pictures of violent（暴力的）events and broken glass. A drying pool of blood spread across the TV screen would give me a sick feeling in my stomach for days. This week, I came across a story of a woman who live-streamed(直播) her dying boyfriend's last few moments of life on Facebook.I watched it, felt sickened by it, yet it made me wonder about our world and the kind of information we share within it.

We are born to look for danger. Although firemen's saving cats from trees is heartwarming to some, it's the “look at this bloody thing that happened to this person and it can happen to you too” story that really draws our attention. No matter how safe your life is, we know that danger is hidden somewhere and we are on the lookout for (留意) it through every media: TV news, radio, social media…including Facebook. In my opinion, the media is irresponsible for what and how they post. There is a difference between reporting a story and providing lots of sad and heartbreaking

information for the public and then expecting us to read it. And the fact that this type of news and information can be always seen in my Facebook newsfeed(朋友圈）---and my kid's feeds----makes me feel a little crazy.

I want to shut it all out. We don't watch news in our house. I don't allow my

teen to spend much time before screens but I can't take suggested stories out of his newsfeed. I feel I am doing my best when I strictly limit what I will watch. I try to put laughter and hope into our day and conversations. I do everything I can

- 7 -

to fight against what we are provided with daily on social media. And no, I believe we shouldn't post death pictures and videos on the Net. Until we truly have the ability to care for each other, it is irresponsible for us to post and watch these pictures of the worst and darkest sides of life.

32. What encouraged the author to write this text?

A.The broken glass.

B. The violent event.

C. The drying pool of blood.

D. The video of a dying man.

33. Which of the following news stories is most likely to draw people's attention?

A.Firemen saving cats.

B. City's biggest car accident.

C. School children planting trees.

D. Longest summer for ten years.

34. What does the author do to help her teen?

A.She shuts out his newsfeed.

B.B. She controls his screen time.

C. She doesn't allow him to use social media.

D. She requires him to read heartwarming news.

35. What's the author's attitude towards watching death pictures and videos?

A.She is strongly against it .

B.B. She thinks it is OK for grown-ups.

C. She believes it is very foolish.

D. She is worried it will put an end to social media.
