At first lk, the playgrund at the Children’s Guild-Transfrmatin Academy in Baltimre, Maryland, lks like any ther. It has swings, slides, and places fr children t climb and crawl. But the playgrund is nt just a place fr fun. It is als a place where students can learn, grw and gain independence. Everything—frm the kind f surface it sits n, t the clr f its sitting areas, t the placement f the surrunding fence—is specifically designed fr kids with autism (自闭症).
Mark Rapaprt is the managing directr f autism services at the Transfrmatin Academy. He tld VOA Learning English the schl accepts students aged 5 t 21 with autism spectrum disrder (ASD) and are lwer- functining.
Rapaprt said the gal f Transfrmatin Academy is t make the students as independent as pssible in an effrt t help them prepare fr adult life. The schl aims t prvide help with develping cmmunicatin and scial skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning r cking.
“The playgrund, designed by Maryland cmpany Sparks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc., tk mnths t develp,” said Dan Hack. He wrks fr Sparks@Play and helped lead the playgrund’s design. Hack said he and thers spent weeks getting t knw the students and understanding their needs befre any building was started. The design prcess invlved physical therapists, ccupatinal therapists, and ther specialists. The $500, 000 prject was funded with supprt frm the state f Maryland and the nnprfit Orkawa Fundatin.
Parts f the playgrund that seem small are very imprtant fr children with autism and ther disabilities. The surrunding fence extends int a wded area t make it seem mre pen, And the grund under the play areas is made f sft, but slid materials t supprt students using wheelchairs r crutches. The benches n the utside f the playgrund lk simple frm far away, but are “ne f ur mst inclusive sensry” elements, Hack said. They have many different clrs that bring abut feelings f calm and curisity. They are als made with smth material that can be felt and mved. The academy’s Rapaprt said if a child starts t feel uneasy, they can sit dwn and feel the bench, which can help them relax.

B. By figuring ut and cnsidering students’ special needs at first.
C. By decreasing the size f the playgrund t ensure students’ safety.

Amblypia is the mst cmmn cause f visin lss in children. In all cases f amblypia, there’s a strnger eye and a weaker eye, and it’s winner-take-all in the crtex (大脑皮层), The crtex learns t ignre the signal frm the weaker eye. By ignring the weaker eye, the brain desn’t fuse (融合) images frm bth eyes. As a result, peple with amblypia can have truble seeing in 3D.
In an attempt t slve this prblem, dctrs start treating patients with amblypia at a yung age, while their brain pathways are still develping. The children, usually under 7 years ld, are ften tld t wear an eye patch ver their strng eye t frce the brain t rely n the weaker. But whenever the eye patch is remved, the cmpetitin can start ver. Fr lasting imprvement, new treatments need t teach the brain t stp suppressing (抑制) key visual cues cming frm the weaker eye, says neurscientist Dennis Levi f the University f Califrnia.
Nw, several research teams are taking a new way that aims t get the brain t make better use f the infrmatin cming frm bth eyes, Several cmpanies are wrking n treatment s based n this new angle. One is called Luminpia.
Luminpia’s therapy invlves having children watch vides thrugh a virtual reality headset. As the children watch, the headset blcks ut certain parts f the display fr each eye, s the patients actually have t cmbine input frm the tw images t get the full vide.
The cmpany cnducted a trial shwing that children with amblypia begin t see better n eye chart assessments after three mnths f ne-hur sessins dne six days a week, But they have yet t measure imprvements in lng-term effectiveness. It is believed that if peple with amblypia dn’t learn t fuse signals frm bth eyes frm a yung age, they never will. S sme scientists think attempting t treat adults, whse brains have suppressed signals frm their weak eye fr decades, is a lst cause.
28. Why des a persn with amblypia have truble seeing in 3D?
A. His brain is unable t receive images.
B. His crtex verlks signals frm the weaker eye.
C. His strnger eye can’t send signals t the brain.
D. His weaker eye fails t receive signals.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes the effect f an eye patch?
A. Ineffective.B. Temprary.
C. Wnderful.D. Cmprehensive.
30. What is the wrking principle f Luminpia’s therapy?
A. Activating the weak eye t get the full vide.
B. Frcing the brain t rely n the weaker eye.
C. Imprving the situatins with eye chart assessments.
D. Blcking ut the images received frm the strnger eye.
31. What can we learn abut Luminpia’s therapy frm the last paragraph?
A. It has an instant effect.B. Adults are is main targets.
C. Mre trials need t be cnducted.D. It has lng-term effectiveness.
D
One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brught her car t a stp n a remte in Wales. She gt ut t pen a metal gate that blcked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sunded by the driver f a train. Her Renault Cli parked acrss a railway line. Secnd later, she watched the train drag her car almst a kilmetre dwn the railway tracks.
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it n her GPS device (导航仪). She had never driven the rute befre. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying n her GPS. But it made n mentin f the crssing. “I put my cmplete trust in the device and it led me right int the path f a speeding train,” she tld the BBC.
Wh is t blame here? Rick Stevensn, wh tells Ceely’s stry in his bk When Machines Fail Us, pints the finger at the limitatins f technlgy. We put ur faith in digital devices, he says, but ur digital helpers are t ften nt up t the jb. They are filled with small prblems. And it’s nt just GPS devices: Stevensn takes us n a tur f digital disasters invlving everything frm mbile phnes t wireless keybards.
The prblem with his argument in the bk is that it’s nt clear why he nly fcuses n digital technlgy, while there may be a number f ther pssible causes. A mapmaker might have left the crssing ff a paper map. Maybe we shuld blame Ceely tr nt paying attentin. Perhaps the railway authrities are at fault fr pr signaling system. Or maybe smene has studied the relative dangers and wrked ut that there really is smething specific wrng with the CPS equipment. But Stevensn desn’t say.
It’s a prblem that runs thrugh the bk. In a sectin n cars, Stevensn gives an accunt f the advanced techniques that criminals use t defeat cmputer based lcking systems fr cars. He ffers tw independent sets f figures n car theft; bth shw a small rise in sme parts f the cuntry. He says that nce again nt all new lcks have prved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s als due t the shrtage f plicemen n the streets. Or changing scial circumstances. Or sme cmbinatin f these factrs.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and cmplex. It is shaped by ecnmics and psychlgy and the cultures we live in. Smewhere in the mix f thse frces there may be way a wiser use f technlgy.
If there is such a way, it shuld invlve mre than just an awareness f the shrtcmings f ur machines. After all, we have lived with them fr thusands f years. They have prbably been fling us fr just as lng.
32. The phrase “near miss” (paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
A. clse hitB. heavy lssC. big mistakeD. narrw escape
33. Which f the fllwing wuld Rick Stevensn mst prbably agree with?
A. Mdern technlgy is what we can’t live withut.
B. Digital devices are mre reliable than they used t be.
C. Digital technlgy ften falls shrt f ut expectatin.
D. GPS errr is nt the nly cause fr Celery’s accident.
34. In the writer’s pinin, Stevensn’s argument is ________.
A. reasnableB. ne-sidedC. puzzlingD. well-based
35. What is the real cncern f the writer f this article?
A. The shrtcmings f digital devices we use.
B. The relatinship between humans and technlgy
C. The majr causes f traffic accidents and car thefts.
D. The human unawareness f technical prblems.

Agriculture has cme a lng way frm its ancient beginnings. Lng ag. farmers wuld wrk hard n their individual plts f land, using simple tls r even their bare hands. They tended t their crps fr many hurs each day s that the crps grew well. 36 Fr example, a single strm culd destry a whle year’s wrk, while a summer f gd weather culd ensure a gd harvest.
Mdern science and technlgy have helped t greatly reduce the back-breaking labur invlved in farming, alng with the reliance n luck and guesswrk. 37
Prbably ne f the mst beneficial innvatins is drip irrigatin, which has made it pssible t develp big, green farms in the middle f the desert. Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discvered this new way f irrigatin in the 1930s. Thrugh this discvery, farmers can nw prduce crps n dry land withut needing much water. 38 The limited and fcused use f just the right amunt f water als denies misture (水分) t weeds, keeping them frm harming the crps.
39 Hwever. what if an area has plenty f water, but little usable sil? As it turns ut, it is pssible t grw plants withut using sil at all. With hydrpnics (水培), plant rts are supprted by rcks r a fiber mat. Nutrient-rich water is then prvided s that the plants can grw. Recent research has centered n vertical hydrpnics farming. With a vertical farm, the crps are planted in cntainers that are piled int plant skyscrapers. 40
With such technlgical advances, the image f a farmer pushing a plugh will eventually becme a thing f the past.
A. Luck played a great part in farming.
B Sme areas wuld be t dry t grw crps.
C. Drip irrigatin deals with a lack f water in an area.
D. There have been experiments t make drip irrigatin a reality.
E. This irrigatin methd uses far less water than ther methds.
F. Farmers have benefited greatly frm innvatins in crp prductin.
G. Furthermre, nearly all hydrpnic farms partially r fully autmated.

W: Gd evening, everyne. I’m yur ld friend Linda Brwn. Tnight let’s learn smething abut a new bill frm state lawmakers in Wiscnsin. If it passes, it wuld limit the way yung peple use scial media services such as Twitter. Wiscnsin is the third US state, after Utah and Arkansas, t mve frward with age restrictins n scial media. Bth Arkansas and Utah nw have laws that require thse under 18 t get their parents’ permissin befre using the services. The law in Utah als prevents children frm using apps such as TikTk between the hurs f 10:30 pm and 6:30 am. The prpsal in Wiscnsin includes similar restrictins. The states say they are making the changes t prtect the mental health f yung peple. The laws wuld permit parents t read private messages sent t their children. In additin, the scial media cmpanies are ging t be asked t check the age f users in Arkansas, Utah and pssibly in Wiscnsin. That’s all fr tnight’s prgram. Thank yu fr listening.
