Speakers at recent TED events have s

17、hared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems. FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖） In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, its the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massac

18、husetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste. Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from ot

19、her fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they dont use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmers income by $500 a mo

20、nth. DISASTER SHELTERS Over 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditionsin tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented ine

21、xpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations. Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. Theyre made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, theyre so light that they can be lifted by hand a

22、nd are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster. 31.

An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth

25、of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day. Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at the Organization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) i

26、n my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didnt look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he coul

27、dnt go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him. Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another

28、way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little furt

29、her into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happil

30、y playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother. Helping Matthew “grow” to overcom

34、 hardly news that people are using the Internet to communicate with others more and more. Some people fear that someday we will no longer feel the need to talk to one another face to face. However, some recent studies suggest that people communicate, or stay in touch, even more than they used to. Wh

35、ichever side you fall on, what is clear and without a doubt is that human communication has changed in the 21st century. But results of recent scientific studies may have us reconsider just how much our new communication forms have changed our world. In June 2008, a British psychiatrist, Himanshu Ty

36、agi, warned that communicating on social networking sites could have a negative effect on the generation of people born after 1990. This generation has never known a world without the Internet. Tyagi says that these people use the Internet to communicate with others so much that they may have troubl

37、e forming real relationships. Tyagi is concerned that people may start and end relationships over the Internet. Describing the Internet he said, “Its a world where everything moves fast and changes all the time, where relationships are quickly ended at the click of a mouse.” Another psychologist, Dr

38、. Aric Sigman, warned of the physical effects that come with using social networking sites. He suggests that the reduction in the amount of time we spend interacting (互动交流) with people face to face could have biological effects on the human body. The results of his study suggest that, without real p

39、ersonal interaction, the body does not react the same way it would if people were meeting face to face. As a result, immune responses, even hormone levels, can be changed. These changes may lead to the development of illnesses, such as cancer. Despite these warnings, studies can be found that show t

40、he positive sides of social networking sites. The results of one study show that using social networking sites has increased the self-esteem (自尊心) of young adults. Another suggests that college students using these sites feel more “connected” with people when they use them. In addition to scientific

41、 studies, there are many who feel that the benefits of social networking sites outweigh the possible negative sides. Many people, especially those who spend a lot of time at home, for various reasons, find the Internet a lifeline. They are able to communicate with many people using these sites. Perh

42、aps the key to this new communication style is self-control and common sense. If someone spends all of his time on the Internet, and never actually sees friends face to face, that seems like an unhealthy way to live. But if someone spends time on the Internet, some of which is spent arranging meetin

43、gs for “real” time together, then it seems almost complementary (互补的). Balance is the key to keeping communication alive and well in the 21st century. 38. Which of the following ideas may Himanshu Tyagi agree with? A. Social networking sites harm people of all ages. B. The Internet weakens young peo

44、ples relationships. C. The use of the Internet improves peoples immune system. D. The online world pushes people to live a faster and better life. 39. What is Dr. Aric Sigmans major concern about using social networking sites? A. It will stop the face-to-face interaction. B. It reduces the self-este

45、em of young adults. C. It may cause some serious health problems. D. It makes people feel less connected with others. 40. What does the underlined word “outweigh” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Are greater than. B. Are heavier than. C. Are more effective than. D. Are more difficult than. 41. Which

46、 of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? A. B. C. D. CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point（次要点） C: Conclusion D At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have bec

47、ome more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains. Around the age of 12, it is believed that the ar

48、eas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that h

49、elp the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance. Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, d

50、ecision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people dont have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving. The
