A
Every year, many inventions are introduced to the world. Some help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or
more fun. Here are four of last year
’
s best inventions.
LUMI was designed for music lovers.
“
We hope that LUMI can help people
who have just started learning how to play music,
”
says the inventor Will
MacNamara. The small Lumi keyboard lights up, allowing users to know
which keys to press. And with the LUMI app, users can learn their favorite
songs.


Millions of people around the world have to face the problem of unsafe food.
Marc Oshima says his indoor farming technology can help. Instead of
growing in dirt, crops grow in reusable cloth. The plants are watered with
mist. This requires 95% less water than field farming.

For people who are blind, the ORCAM MYEYE2 could be a game changer.
It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties. Described as
“
talking glasses
”
, it can read text aloud. Amnon Shashua invented the
technology.

Christine Schindler is an engineer. She wanted to help stop the spread of
foodborne illnesses, so she created PATHSPOT. It uses light to scan(
扫描
) a
person
’
s hands for harmful germs. Restaurant workers hold their hands under
the scanner. Then the scanner decides whether they should be rewashed.

21. LUMI was designed for ______.

A. indoor farmers
























B. music lovers




C. blind people


























D. restaurant workers

22. Who is the inventor of the ORCAM MYEYE 2?

This Family Keeps Their Community Warm by Cutting Firewood for Those in Need

Washington
is
home
to
lots
of
trees
—
it
is
the
Evergreen
State,
after
all
—
and
it
has
lots
of
fireplaces
and
wood-burning
heaters
too.
But
what
if
you
lived
there
and
couldn
’
t
cut
wood
or
couldn
’
t afford to pay someone to do it? Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and
Henry McDaniel, are happy to help. The three men cut truckloads of wood
—
then give it to those in
need.
The idea actually started as a father-son relationship project, Shane told .
“
I cut wood with my dad. He just
loved doing it,
”
said Shane. He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer cutting. The result
was a great wall of wood piled up(
堆积
) around their house. To buy that much it would cost about $$10,000.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started
thinking of others. He posted online:
“
IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE
PM[personal message] ME!...If you know someone who BURNS WOOD, please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE
GOES COLD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
”

The
response(
反应
)
was
immediate.
One
man
offered
to
donate(
捐赠
)
a
wood-burning
stove.
Others
raced
over
to
Shane
’
s house with more wood. One woman, noticing the photo of the McDaniels, started to feel warm in other ways: I
don
’
t need the wood. But I am truly happy for what you have done!
”

Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four-year-old daughter depended on a wood-burning stove as their only way of
heat, so it was so good to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDanniels.
“
To get that much wood brought me to
tears,
”
she told .
“
So much stress and worry is off my shoulders. I couldn
’
t be more thankful.
”

Shane is ready to help more people.
“
Giving is the reward,
”
he said.
“
It has nothing to do with how well it
’
s received;
it
’
s about how much it
’
s needed.
”

24. What did Shane and his sons do to help their neighbors?
A. They gave firewood to those in need.











B. They bought wood-burning stoves.
C. They raised about 10,000 dollars.














D. They paid someone to cut wood.
25. What happened after Shane posted messages online?
A. His family received lots of presents.












B. Some people quickly offered to help.
C. Lots of wood piled up around their house.







D. The weather suddenly turned freezing cold.
26. What did Shane think of what he had done to help others?
A. Being needed drives us to give.
















B. Love is not giving but receiving.

C. Helping others is just helping ourselves.









D. It

s better to help people fish than to give them fish.

It Is Never Too Early to Think
—
and Communicate
—
like a Scientist

Who
is
a
scientist
and
what
is
his
job?
A
chemist
doing
experiments?
A
geologist
out
studying
rocks? When most
people
think
about
science,
they
imagine
characters
making
discoveries
or
finding
cures(
治疗方法
)
for
new
diseases.
However, these leave out an extremely important part of the scientific process: communicating
—
sharing the results of that
work.




Imagine if someone discovered something important about a disease. Other scientists need to understand the work well
enough to use these new developments to make even more discoveries in the future. The public, too, needs to understand
how
these
discoveries
might
influence
their
lives.
But
none
of
this
will
be
possible
if
the
work
is
not
shared.
Being
a
scientist goes far beyond the moment of discovery.




Without
clear
communication,
scientists
would
not
be
able
to
use
the
work
that
has
already
been
done.
So
how
do
scientists tell others about the work that they have done? How do they make sure that everything that they share is as clear
and correct as possible?




Researchers publish their work in scientific journals(
期刊
). These journals can be read by other researchers around the
world. It is very important for these journals, and for the scientists who read them, to make sure that the research included is
as correct as possible. In order to do that, articles given to scientific journals before publication first go through a process
called peer review. Other scientists who do research in areas related to the work in an article are asked to read through it.
Scientists also provide feedback to the writers. They bring up new questions the writer may not have considered, recognize
limitations to the results being described, and also make sure that no mistakes were made during the process.




Frontiers for Young Minds
is a scientific journal, written for
—
and reviewed by
—
young people. All of the articles in it
are based on works already published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. However, while scientists are good at making
sure
that
articles
are
understandable
for
other
scientists,
there
are
no
better
experts
to
make
sure
that
something
can
be
understood by young people than the young people themselves. By working together with an expert, young reviewers read
the article to see if any part of the article is hard to understand, make it clear why the experiment was done in the way it was
done, and check whether the figures(
数据
) clearly explain the point of the article.




Basically, these young reviewers learn to think like scientists. It is never too early to start! Ask questions, learn new
things, and don
’
t forget the importance of communicating your findings.
27. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about.

A. What is required to be a good scientist.
