Stephen Wamukota, a nine-year-old from Mukwa village in Western Kenya, is making headlines worldwide for his creative hand washing machine. The young boy came up with the idea after watching villagers, who do not have easy access to running water and struggle to find an effective way to wash their hands to avoid spreading and catching COVID-19. Using the few resources he could get—wood, nails, and a bucket—Stephen designed and built a simple but functional washing station. The clever creation, which is made up of two pedals（踏板）— one to release soap and the other to release water—enables villagers to wash their hands contact-free, thus reducing the likelihood of catching the infectious disease. "I had bought some pieces of wood to make a window frame, but when I came back home after work one day, I found that Stephen had made the machine," his father, James, told the media. "The concept was his, and I helped tighten the machine. I'm very proud." James credits Stephen's building skill to the village school's curriculum (课程), which teaches children to construct items from a very young age. The invention, which went viral after James posted a photo online, has made Stephen an instant celebrity in Kenya. In early June 2020, the country's leader gave Stephen the Uzalendo Award for making significant contributions towards the nation's fight against COVID-19. Stephen has also been promised a full scholarship to a school that can develop his creative talent, by the county governor. Though thrilled at the unexpected fame and success, Stephen is not satisfied with what he has achieved. The young boy has already built another hand washing machine and plans on adding several more. 【1】What inspired Stephen to design the hand washing machine? A.The school project he was working on. B.The few resources he could use in his house. C.The difficulty the villagers had keeping their hands clean. D.The number of the villagers getting infected with the disease. 【2】What's the original function of the pieces of wood? A.To make the frame of a window. B.To start a fire to cook meals. C.To create two pedals of a machine. D.To construct a hand washing machine. 【3】What does the underlined phrase "went viral" in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Spread rapidly. B.Disappeared suddenly. C.Improved immediately. D.Matured gradually. 【4】What can we learn from Stephen's story? A.A good fame is better than anything. B.Many hands make light work. C.A small child can make a big difference. D.Failure is the mother of success. |

EcoTreasures, a young tour company based in Sydney, have involved a new plan in their Manly Coastal Walks to remove marine debris from Penguin habitats. The tour company specializes in Ecotourism experiences on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, New South Wales. Ecotreasures have been lucky to host a range of international study tour students visiting Sydney this winter, who have been participating in the plan. The students arrive in Australia for short stays of generally 7—14 days, which consist of English lessons and Australia tour experiences. EcoTreasures owner, Damien McClellan, has been happy to host the students on his tours and to involve a new element in the half-day adventure, with a purpose to clean up marine debris that accumulates in the natural environment known to be the habitat for little penguins. McClellan has been very proud to run these tours, which highlight a range of environmental awareness messages, and mentions, “when we visit the little penguin habitat at Collins Beach in Sydney Harbour National Park we conduct a beach clean-up. The students always put in 110% and we remove as much as marine debris from the catchment(积水处) as possible. We are all giving back to the location we are appreciating because of its natural beauty, and I’m proud of all these international guests caring for Australia’s environment.” The tours offer a great display of Sydney’s natural setting right on the city’s door step. Mr. McClellan also adds, “The students and teachers really enjoy their experience on the walk around Manly. We visit the beach, Sydney Harbour National Park, Cabbage tree Aquatic reserve and Manly suburbs all in a half day adventure. We always keep the walk fun and interesting by identifying native plants & searching for Whales from land with binoculars and other wildlife along the way.” EcoTreasures was founded in 2010 by Damien McClellan, and the business is looking forward to working with more partners in the future, developing new ecotourism plans for a range of target markets, and keeping it fun is part of the plan.

Anyone who commutes (通勤) by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups. Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently. When humans commute, there’s a point at which cars become dense (稠密) enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. “The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam.” said Sebastien Motsch. But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants. The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding (碰撞) with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife. Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That’s because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans—and more like ants. 【1】What does the underlined word “this” in para.2 refer to? A.Surviving. B.Commuting. C.Finding food. D.Avoiding jams. 【2】How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants? A.By finding out the dense points. B.Through closer observation. C.By controlling the widths of their path. D.By regulating their numbers. 【3】According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because ________. A.they follow a special route. B.they level off at high densities. C.they never stop or slow down on the way. D.they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds. 【4】What is the best title of the passage? A.Traffic jams. B.Unavoidable? Not for ants! C.Survival of an ant colony. D.Difference between human and ants. |

Many campuses have intramural (校内的) sports teams — teams that aren’t as competitive as other sports teams on campus.【1】But you can benefit greatly by taking part in intramural sports. Intramural sport are an amazing stress reliever. You’ll have no shortage of stress in college: exams, group projects, computer problems, etc. 【2】 Intramural competitions have a set schedule, so you’re practically forced to set aside time to run around with your friends. A little friendly competition will be a nice change of pace from the classroom. 【3】 While most students would like to go to the gym regularly, few actually do. With a predetermined time already in your schedule, your workout is more likely to happen. In addition, you’ll be more excited when you work out in a team. Thus you won’t want to cut the gym session short. Team sports are a great way to push you. They’re a great way to meet people. You may be getting used to seeing people of the same major. Intramural sports teams can be a great way to meet students you may not otherwise run into. In fact, you don’t necessarily need to know anyone to join an intramural team. 【4】 It’s one of the few things you’ll do just for fun. Many things you do in college have specific goals and purposes. 【5】 But you don’t need to assign a purpose to intramural sports. After all, you’re not making a profession out of it. A.They provide great exercise. B.Having purposes is possible. C.And singing up can quickly expand your social circle. D.They improve sports skills. E.Joining an intramural team can take lots of time and energy. F.For example, you work to pay for your school fee. G.Thus it can be hard to fit fun into your busy life. |
