When Gitanj ali Rao shared how she likes“finding solutions to real problems"，it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11一year—old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.

In just three months，Rao came up with a device(装置)that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water．Inspired by the current litigation(诉讼)in Flint，Michigan，a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015，Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being name d America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017．Rao had been following the water problem for about two years．She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the“science room”she parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes(纳米管)that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.

Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the“purpose of science is to make a difference”，her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.

C．Her interest in settling real problems．D．The water pollution litigation in Flint．26．What do the carbon nanotubes function as?

A．Sending immediate signals．B．Recording the reaction results．C．Detecting the presence of lead．D．Showing the water quality results．

27．Wh at does the author think of Rao’s invention?

A．It will lead Rao to make a fortune．

B．It will help millions of Americans drink safe water．

C．It will promote the development of science in America．

D．It will soon settle the lead—polluted problem thoroughly．

Imagine j et—setting from Tokyo to Paris，enjoying first—class travel，a four—course dinner and a city tour—all without leaving the ground．This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines，which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations．

As the parent of a 7-year-old boy，sometimes I feel like “no" is my most frequently，said word．But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary，I probably I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”．Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences，inviting new or deeper relationships．But too much “yes’’ lea ves any of us feeling anxious，overcommited(过分受约束的)and powerless to set and maintain boundaries 1n our lives ．

This had been on my mind when The Book of No：365 Ways to Say It and Mean It-and Stop People-Pleasing Forever came across my desk．The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say“no”with authenticity, confidence and kindness.

Newman calls people who fee forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect．holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way．For people—pleasers，“ye s is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker，"Newman writes

The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no’’ is the right，answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional．boundaries. Newman an considers what came about among friends，at work，within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common--things that 1mmedlately started helping me improve my "no’' skills．

Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”，but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf．

32．Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1 ?

A．To blame himself．B．To show how to guide kids．

C．To tell his likes and dislikes．D．To help recommend a book．

33．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3 ?

A．How to deal with a request．

B．Why askers turn to others for a favor·

C．Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often·

D．How to strengthen relationships with askers·

34．What does the underlined word“scenarios”probably mean?

A．Occasions．B．Processes．C．Adventures．D· Stories·

35．What does the author advise us to do?

A．Give no response to any demand．

B．Learn to say‘‘no’’in a positive way．

C．Keep open all channels of communication·

D．Say "yes" constantly without feeling guilty．

Looking forward to your early reply．
