At the age of 13, Alena Wicker was accepted by the University of Alabama's Heersink School of Medicine, becoming the youngest black student to study there. As a former NASA intern, she is well on her way to achieving her dreams.

Alena's mother is not surprised, claiming that her daughter has always been exceptional. “From childhood, Alena was gifted," Daphne McQuarter, Alena's mother, says. “It was just how she did things and how advanced she was. She was reading chapter books.”

McQuarter pulled her daughter from school, and homeschooled her during elementary school. Even after Alena returned to school in fifth grade, she continued studying high school subjects on the basis of a curriculum（课程）crafted by her mother.

“I was bored,” Alena explains. “The high school work was so easy for me that I ended up graduating from high school when I was 12. I love school, I love learning, and I love reading. I have a hunger and desire to learn, and that's just always been me.”

After graduating from high school at age 12，Alena enrolled（登记）in two separate universities， earning degrees in biological sciences from both Arizona State University and Oakwood University.

And, while studying for the accelerated degrees, Alena took the time to inspire others to follow in her footsteps.

Alena started The Brown STEM Girl Foundation, in memory of Katherine Johnson, who had been a pioneering African-American mathematician at NASA. The Foundation's goal is “to engage, empower, and educate girls of color in STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics”.

Alena promotes her Foundation on Facebook. “It feels amazing to be able to create a path for girls that look like me,” Alena shared. “It doesn't matter how old you are. You can do it. Don't let anybody tell you no. I would say to any little girl out there this: Never give up on yourself, and never let someone tell you that you can't do something.”

24.What do we know about Alena when she was in elementary school?

Children under five must spend less time sitting watching screens or staying in prams, get better quality sleep and have more time for active play if they are to grow up healthy, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization(WHO).

The new guidelines on physical activity，sedentary（久坐的）behaviour and sleep for children under 5 years of age were developed by a WHO panel of experts. They assessed the effects of inadequate（不足的）sleep on young children，and time spent sitting watching screens or restrained（被限制）in chairs and prams. They also reviewed evidence around the benefits of increased activity levels.

Failure to meet current physical activity recommendations is responsible for more than 5 million deaths globally each year across all age groups. Currently, over 23% of adults and 80% of adolescents are not sufficiently physically active. If healthy physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep habits are established early in life, this helps shape habits through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.

“What we really need to do is bring back play for children,” says Dr Juana Willumsen, who focuses on childhood obesity and physical activity. “This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime, while protecting sleep."

The pattern of overall 24-hour activity is key: replacing sedentary screen time with more active play, while making sure young children get enough good-quality sleep. Quality time spent in interactive non-screen-based activities with a caregiver, such as reading, storytelling, singing and puzzles, is very important for child development.

The important interactions between physical activity, sedentary hehaviour and adequate sleep time, and their impact on physical and mental health and well-being, were fully recognized, which called for clear guidance on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in young children.

Applying the recommendations in these guidelines during the first five years of life will contribute to children's motor and cognitive development and lifelong health.

28. What's the purpose of the WHO issuing new guidelines?

A. To help parents take better care of children.

B.To make sure children grow up healthy.

C.To reduce children's time spent on TV.

D.To keep children physically active.

29.What does Dr Juana Willumsen intend to tell us?

A.Children need more time to play and sleep.

B. Sitting too much leads to children's poor health.

C.It is important for children to have healthy food.

D.Parents should play with their children more often.

30.Which activity may be beneficial to children's development according to the text?

A.Reading on their own.

C.Searching for puzzles online.

B.Watching educational TV programs.

D.Joining the singing club.

31.Which can be the best title for the text?

A.The World Health Organization has issued new guidelines.

B.To grow up healthy children need to sit less and play more.

C. Some good habits that will lead to children's lifelong health.

D.5 million die globally each year because of unhealthy lifestyle.

Over the past decade or so, camera technology has become more and more integrated into our everyday lives. We use our phone camera to store memories and important information, and cameras help keep people safe while driving. Parallel parking is so much easier now that cars come with rearview cameras.

However, up until now, cameras have also been limited. Wide field of vision cameras have been around since 2013, but these cameras only have a 180 degree field of vision, and can be clumsy（笨拙的）.They work by essentially merging images coming from two or more cameras. This can lead to distortions（失真）.In addition， using the cameras underwater also leads to distortion as light refracts  differently underwater.

According to Fast Company, the researchers turned to nature for inspiration. They began by studying the fiddler crab and its compound eye. Unlike humans, fiddler crabs can look in many directions at the same time, giving them a full 360 degree field of vision. In addition, fiddler crabs need to be able to see well both on land and in water.

Dr Fredo Durand, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, told Laser Focus World:” Amphibian creatures are particularly exciting because they need to operate in two environments with vastly different optical characteristics. It's humbling to learn from nature how to address these challenges."

The result is a little black round ball of a camera that interprets and understands light in various ways. The scientists tested the camera's capabilities hy projecting a group of images onto the camera at different angles. They also immersed the camera halfway in a tub to test its underwater capabilities. It passed with flying colors.

Though the camera is still in the early stages of its development and is not ready for commercial use, the hope is that it will eventually be used to help make cars safer by improving camera quality in general and improving camera capabilities in the rain.

32.Which is a limitation of the wide field of vision cameras?

A.They can only be used underwater.

C.They consist of only two cameras.

B .They occupy too much space.

D.They cover a limited field of vision.

33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.The surprising adaptability of the fiddler crab.

B.The advantages of the fiddler crab's compound eye.

C.The way of carrying out research into creatures.

D. The possibility of having a 360 degree field of vision.

34.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “immersed” in paragraph 5?

A.Designed.

B.Repaired.

C.Drowned.

D.Abandoned.

35. What is the author's attitude towards the camera?

A.Positive.

B.Doubtful.

C.Unclear.

D.Carefree.
