Pranavh Joshua Vallabhaneni and his family were preparing for a new addition—Pranavh’s baby brother and it got his inventive juices flowing．
“My parents were shopping for car seats，”said Pranavh，15，a sophomore student at Unionville High School in Pennsylvania，US．“I realized that there was a lot of emphasis on child safety．”
He kept hearing tragic stories regarding babies being left in hot cars．“I started to think about why and how to help prevent the issue，”Pranavh said．His brother Jayden is now four．Pranavh has worked tirelessly since Jayden’s birth to help prevent car deaths among young kids．More than 940 children have died in hot cars in the US since 1990，according to kidsandcars．org．“The most tragic part is that over 50 percent of hot car child deaths have happened because parents forgot their children were in cars，”Pranavh said．
So he began inventing and came up with the Baby-Saver Hot Car Alert(警报)Device．It sends different automated alerts to parents and local authorities when the temperature inside the car crosses certain thresholds(临界点)．At the first threshold，an alert will be sent to the parents，mobile devices．At the second threshold，a buzzer will sound in the car，drawing attention to the vehicle．At the third threshold，an alert will be sent to local authorities，providing GPS coordinates of the vehicle and letting them know of the potentially fatal condition inside of it．
He started developing the concept as an experiment in his science class and kept expanding upon it．In July，his creation was praised at the Invention Convention Worldwide，a global K-12 education program．And he scored first place for the safety award during the 2020 Virtual Awards Ceremony．“Pranavh is a shining example of what determination and innovative problem．Solving can achieve，”said Lucie Howell，chief learning officer at the convention．
Pranavh is applying for patents to get his invention to the public．He plans to contact car makers and home security companies to use the device on a larger scale．“It is an amazing feeling，especially seeing how it grew from an idea to a full-blown invention，”he said．“I hope it will save lives and make the world a better place．”
24．Why did Pranavh invent the Baby-Saver Hot Car Alert Device?
A．To prepare a gift for his younger brother．
B．To make money by guaranteeing child safety．
C．To prevent children from dying in hot cars．
D．To urge parents to take care of their children．
25．What will happen if the temperature inside the car crosses the last threshold?
A．The car’s GPS will send alerts to the parents．
B．An alert will be sent to mobile devices nearby．
C．Children will be able to press the buzzer to send alerts．
D．Local authorities will be informed of possible dangers．
26．What does the underlined word“fatal”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Deadly． B．Favorable． C．Superior． D．Unacceptable．
27．What will Pranavh do with his invention next?
A．Do further research on it． B．Donate it to car producers．
C．Sell it to the public． D．Put it into practice．

Fifty years ago，on April 22，1970，twenty million Americans took to the streets to voice their concern about the deteriorating(变坏的)environment．The movement led to Earth Day．
Unfortunately，Our planet is in worse shape now than it was when Earth Day was first celebrated．The good news is it's still not too late to reverse(使翻转)climate change if we all do our part．This Earth Day，take the first step towards helping our planet by participating in one of these fun activities．
NASA is putting our planet up for adoption，so you and your friends can claim a portion(份) of the planet as your own．The space agency has divided the globe into 64，000 sections，each about 55 miles wide．All you have to do is type your name into NASA's“Adopt the Planet”site to claim a certificate that will give you the location of your slice of paradise complete with details of its environment．NASA hopes that this exercise will stimulate interest and care in our planet．
If you happen to be anywhere near the nation’s capital on April 22，join the millions that are expected to participate in the Earth Day March at the National Mall．The mission of the event that will feature guest speakers and musical performances is to encourage citizens to take action by promoting this year’s Earth Day theme：climate and environmental science literacy．
While participating in the above-mentioned activities is a great idea，it is just the beginning．All that is required are small lifestyle changes．Planting a tree or two，going meatless just one day a week，or switching your plastic water bottle for a reusable one will go a long way to help reverse the damage we have caused．
28．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．To promote Earth Day．
B．To introduce the origin of Earth Day．
C．To show people’s concern about the environment．
D．To blame Americans for their damage to Earth．
29．How does NASA raise environmental awareness?
A．It encourages people to buy a portion of the earth．
B．It conducts a program called“Adopt the Planet”．
C．It offers certificates to participants in the space agency.
D．It requires participants to collect details of our environment．
30．What does the underlined phrase“the event”in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The Earth Day March． B．The musical performance．
C．The Earth Day theme． D．The adoption of the earth．
31．What can be learned from the text?
A．Our planet is no longer fit for man to live on．
B．Americans are responsible for the climate change．
C．More and more countries are joining in Earth Day activities．
D．More work needs to be done to repair the damage to the earth．
D
There’s loads of research that shows that spending time in nature is good for your health and well-being．Studies show that a simple walk in the woods can lead to better sleep and lower stress and living near green space can even help you live longer．But not everyone lives near a park．And not everyone can easily get outdoors．So，what happens when you bring nature into your home via TV? Anew study finds that a virtual nature experience can have some of the same effects．
For the study，researchers from the University of Exeter in the U．K．brought 96 adults into a lab and created boredom by having them watch a four-minute video of a man discussing his work at an office supply company．In a dull voice，the man described a conversation with a client，eating lunch at his desk，and how they determine the prices of products．
Then，the study participants experienced scenes of an underwater coral reef(珊瑚礁)scene from the BBC’s“Blue Planet II”series．They watched it on TV，with a virtual reality headset using 360-degree video，or with a virtual reality headset using computer-generated interactive graphics．
Researchers found that all three methods minimized negative feelings like sadness and significantly lowered boredom．The interactive virtual reality experience actually increased positive feelings，such as happiness，and strengthened the connections people said they had to nature．
“I think we were most surprised that just watching nature on TV led to positive changes across each of our measures，suggesting that even short，five-minute bursts of watching natural history programming can have an effect on well-being，”study co-author Alex Smalley says．
Originally，the motivation behind the study was to research benefits for people who were stuck indoors，such as those in nursing homes or people recovering from illness．But there are entirely new positive results in today’s world due to COVID-19．
“We never imagined a pandemic(流行病)would mean the results might apply to such a big part of the global population，”Smalley says．“We’d always recommend trying to get out into nature wherever possible but for those who can’t，our findings suggest that digital experiences of nature could provide a short-term fix．”
32．What’s the new study about?
A．The necessity of going out into nature． B．The significance of living a green life．
C．The effects of watching nature on TV. D．The methods of increasing positive feelings．
33．Why did researchers ask the participants to watch a four-minute video?
A．To attract their attention． B．To make them feel bored．
C．To let them know more about life． D．To observe their different reactions．
34．What can we learn from Smalley’s words?
A．The study can raise awareness of mental health．
B．Researchers had some unexpected findings in the study．
C．Researchers will carry out the study across the world．
D．The study was affected by the outbreak of COVID-19．
35．Who would probably be most interested in the study?
A．People who work in hospitals． B．People who enjoy watching TV.
C．People who are kept indoors． D．People who travel on business.
