Macinley Butson was just 16 years old when she first had the idea to try and protect women from
more-than-necessary radiation during breast cancer treatments- and now, her invention could be a game-changer in
the medical field.
Butson, whose father works in medical physics, has always been interested in science. But she only began
researching the harmful side effects of radiation treatment after her father discussed his experience with ineffective
cancer treatments in his work. Since Butson had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to
conduct her own research on the subject. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals,
but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand.
She then turned to the internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals. As she went deeper in
her research, she stumbled upon a key bit of information: copper (
铜
) has been shown to be effective at protecting
skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing a film on medieval wars in her 10th grade
history class. When she saw the scaled (
鳞片
) patterns of the mail (
盔甲
), she was inspired to create a wearable
protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched videos on how to put together tiny scales.
She made her own flexible scale-mail which she now calls SMART: Scale Mail for Radiation Therapy.
When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting, it reduced surface exposure to unnecessary radiation by
75%. And now Butson is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use.

Around 45% of plastic waste is recycled annually in the UK and is on the increase. However, one of the
problems with present plastic recycling methods is that you end up with a lower-quality plastic with worse
properties (
特性
) than the original. This means that plastic drink bottles cannot simply be recycled into new drink
bottles continuously, but instead are used for other lower-grade products like park benches.
Now, British scientists have developed a new method of chemical recycling. They use lower temperatures and
more environmentally-friendly starting chemicals than previous methods to turn plastics back into their constituent
chemical molecules (
分子
). In this way, they can be used to make new plastics of the same quality as the original.

properties and reduces the quality. Our method of chemical recycling overcomes this problem. Then plastics can be
used all over again without losing any properties.
The researchers are recycling some kinds of plastics, including plant-based PLA, a plastic used for food
packaging and PET, which is used for drink bottles. So far, the technology has only been demonstrated on a small
range. However, scientists are now working to produce larger quantities of starting chemicals.

reusing and recycling. Our method of chemical recycling could allow carbon to be recycled endlessly rather than
digging more up from the ground in the form of fossil fuels, or letting it into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas,
said Dr. Paul McKeown from the University of Bath.
32. What is the problem with the present plastic recycling?
A. The quality of recycled plastics declines.
B. Plastic drink bottles cannot be recycled.
C. The amount of plastic waste is increasing.
D. Recycled lower-grade products sell badly.
33. How do scientists recycle plastic waste with the new method?
A. By transforming it into fuels.
B. By heating it into liquid state.
C. By keeping its original properties.
D. By changing its molecule structure.
34. What can we learn from what Dr. Paul McKeown said?
A. Fossil fuels are endless resources.
B. The plastic waste problem has no solution.
C. Recycled carbon leads to greenhouse gases.
D. The chemical recycling is environment- friendly.
