Twelve-year-old Lydia Denton was recently named the winner of CITGO’s Fueling Education Student Challenge, where she earned $20,000 after creating the Beat the Heat Car Seat, which is a portable device placed in the car seat that not only senses weight over five pounds but monitors temperature when the baby is in the seat.
The soon-to-be seventh grader says she became inspired to make the invention after watching the
news that babies were being left in hot cars, often by accident.“At first, I thought about raising money for the families, but that wouldn’t fix the problem: I wanted to invent something that could prevent the deaths from happening.”
Lydia’s device is started when it senses the weight of the child and the temperature setting reaches
over 100 F (38℃). At that point, an alarm goes off and a warning is sent via SMS to the parents. If the parents don’t reset the device within 60 seconds, a built-in GPS chip sends a message to local authorities with the vehicle’s location. After many rounds of testing with her local 911, Lydia is proud to say that Beat the Heat Car Seat is a success.
Though many newer vehicles come with warning systems and smart seat systems, Lydia’s goal
was to create a device that would reach more people and that could also transfer from car seat to car seat as the child grew. She decided to use her prize money to continue making improvements on the device, which would sell for only about $40.
Lydia is now working with an instructor who is helping her with production and teaching her
about business. Lydia hopes that her work will inspire more kids of her age to make their ideas come true. “Don’t think that you have to accept things in the world. If there is something that bothers you, think of ways to make it better!”
24．Why did Lydia make the invention?
A．To win 20,000-dollar prize. B．To raise money for unlucky families.
C．To help stop babies dying in hot cars. D．To guarantee babies’ safety in a car crash.
25．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the device?
A．How it works. B．What it consists of.
C．Why it raises the alarm. D．How parents respond to it.
26．How will Lydia’s future device differ from other smart seat systems?
A．It will be much stronger. B．It will be more affordable.
C．It will be less problematic. D．It will be more effective on older kids.
27．What can we learn from Lydia’s story?
A．No competition, no progress. B．It’s never too late to go into business.
4 / 11
C．One should be open to any suggestion. D．Creative thinking is the key to success.

Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or
any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric
generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.
The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots
have enslaved humans to harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin
space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but still enough to power electronics
like watches or fitness trackers.
Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional
electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need
to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."
Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and that heat will
radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.
28. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?
A. It will be used for medical purposes. B. It will be made smaller and wearable.
C. It will change natural power into electricity. D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.
29. Why does the author mention The Matrix series in the text?
A. To give an explanation. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To analyze the cause.
30. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The strengths of Xiao's device. B. The convenience of using a battery.
C. The replacement of wearable devices. D. The development of traditional electronics.
31. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?
5 / 11
A. It operates with plenty of power. B. It is designed for practical use.
C. It benefits people's health in a way. D. It's based on traditional electronics.
D
These days it’s hard not to have an opinion about Amazon. While some choose to focus on the negative, including workplace environment concerns in some of its warehouses or the impact that online retail has had on traditional physical retail stores, many others are extraordinarily grateful for the ability the company has provided during the pandemic（⼤流⾏病）to easily order almost anything and receive it in a timely, reliable manner without having to step outside their homes.
The debate is the positive impact that the company is having on small businesses, including minority-owned businesses. Amazon’s Prime Day Event (scheduled for Oct. 13-14) offers an interesting example.
Given the convenience of huge traffic(物流) on Prime Day, that’s powerful motivation for
consumers to purchase from small businesses — something that a lot of people may not have tried just yet. The move also encourages the company which helps small businesses across the US, which
represent over 99.5% of all US businesses and employ half the country’s workforce. While many might
assume that Amazon and other online retailers have only negatively impacted small businesses (and, no doubt, many small businesses have been hurt by the rapid shift to online shopping brought on by the pandemic), there’s a whole range of small businesses that have benefited from being on Amazon.
Some of these are existing small businesses that have successfully transitioned to functioning in
the digital world of online shopping, while others are new small businesses that have been created specifically for the online world, including app developers, content creators, and more. Toyin Kolawole, an entrepreneur who immigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria about 20 years ago, provides some
fascinating experiences. “I started my company with two products and would go to food shows trying
to get noticed,” she said. “It was very expensive to participate and hard to make an impact.” But she eventually succeeded in getting some of her products into Walmart and Mariano’s. “With Amazon, I
could take my flour and just put it in the flour section, so it gave me the opportunity to compete fairly,”
she says.
32. What is implied about Amazon in the first paragraph?
A. Most people pay little attention to small business on Amazon recently.
B. People are rarely concerned about the workplace environment in some of its warehouses.
C. Many people think it has negative impact on traditional physical retail stores.
D. Many are satisfied with the convenience it brings to their shopping during the pandemic.
33. What can we know about Prime Day Event on Amazon?
A. Consumers are motivated to do online shopping for convenient delivery on that day.
6 / 11
B. The interesting event of Amazon is scheduled from now to October 13-14.
C. The event represents 99.5% of US businesses and employs half the country’s workforce.
D. This event has done more harm to small businesses by the rapid shift to online shopping.
34. What does the underlined word “transitioned” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Adapted. B. Related. C. Changed. D. Contributed.
35. What does Toyin Kolawole mostly probably think of Amazon?
A. It was very expensive to start the small business on Amazon.
B. It was helpful for her to be given the opportunity to compete fairly.
C. It was hard to make her products to have an impact on Amazon.
D. It was useless to go to food shows trying to get noticed on Amazon.

Will Covid-19 Kill the Handshake?
The handshake might date back to the 14th century, when knights and soldiers would extend their unclenched（松开的） right hands toward each other in greeting to show that they were carrying no weapons.
36 Or rather, its tendency for picking up and holding onto germs(细菌) from polluted
surfaces, or from our own eyes or noses when we have certain illnesses. Those germs can then be
transferred into the hands of the people we greet, while we can pick up their germs. We then will probably touch our own eyes or noses or mouths, potentially sickening ourselves and restarting the cycle.
Now that a novel coronavirus is spreading fast, our hands are being cast in a new, doubtful light.
37 And lately, the Internet has been full of suggestions for socially acceptable ways to greet each
other that don't involve passing germs along unintentionally from one person to the next.
38 In fact, the tradition of shaking hands isn't the only greeting to take a fresh look. A Maori
tribe in New Zealand put the brakes on hongi, the traditional nose-to-nose hello. 39 Maybe
people will stop making fun of the Hollywood air kiss, though it's not a huge improvement health-wise.
COVID-19 is a real threat, and we shouldn't take the warning lightly. We may, indeed, need to keep our hands to ourselves for the time being. But we’re not ready to send handshake into the dustbin of
history. Humans long for making a physical connection with friends. For now, perhaps, a regretful
smile and nod might work as a shared acknowledgment. 40
A. Could we hug each other or nod?
7 / 11
B. Could this be the end of the handshake?
C. As we all know, shaking hands has become a habit.
D. After all, our friendly intentions were not to infect or be infected by others.
E. These days, it would seem, the potential weapon isn't a knife, but the hand itself.
F. We're being drilled in handwashing techniques as if we were all second-graders.
G. The French have been advised to abandon the familiar kiss on the cheek greeting.

When a young woman in Texas learned that her dad’s small business was bad during the pandemic(疫情), she made a request on Twitter asking for help.
“I wouldn’t 41 do this, but my dad’s taco(墨⻄哥⽟⽶薄饼卷) truck business is 42 .
He only sold $ 6 today,” Giselle Aviles, 21, wrote in a twitter about her father’s taco truck. “I would

When the pandemic hit, the food truck’s sales began to 44 . Like Aviles’ father, many small
business owners throughout the country continue to struggle through the pandemic. More than 100, 000
small businesses have 45 and that number is on the rise.
But Aviles’ social media request 46 —by Sunday night, the post had gained around 2,000
retwitters. She told her father that he should prepare for many new 47 when the truck opened the

When he arrived at his food truck at 8 a.m. on Monday, a line of customers were there-some had
been 49 as early as 6 a.m. Business was so 50 that the food truck had to close down
twice-once to restock(补货) and again when they were 51 sold out. He even asked his daughter to
help with the 52 .
Aviles estimates that her dad 53 more than 200 customers on Monday. She says she
appreciates the 54 for her dad’s business and has since made an Instagram page for more
customers to find his 55 easily.

A young and successful manager had a new Jaguar, whose side door was dented （凹陷的）. The damage was very noticeable, but the manager never bothered to repair it. He kept the dent there to remind him of one afternoon as well as this message：Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!
The manager was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He
was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the Jag's side door! He braked sharply and drove the Jag backward to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you?”
The young boy apologized. "Please mister ... please, I’m sorry. . . I didn't know what else to do,"
he begged.
“I threw the brick because no one else would stop. . ." With tears coming down his face, the little boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
“My elder brother fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up. ” he said.
Still crying, the boy asked the astonished manager, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me. ”
Moved beyond words, he hurried to the spot with the boy. Another boy was lying on the ground
bleeding. He took out his clean handkerchief and touched lightly at the fresh scrapes（擦 伤）and cuts.
A quick look told him that the wound was serious, and the disabled must be taken to the hospital at once.
