21、Should people be allowed to use cell phones while driving? People have different opinions about it.
No, because in this world some people drive very crazily. So most people who use cell phones to talk in the car usually pay more attention to what they are talking about than to driving. One of the reasons that I feel this way is that my friend had a car accident while using a cell phone. He lost his life and his friends did, too.
——Alejandra Pachecho from Venezuela
That depends. The advantages of using a cell phone while driving arc that you can call the police if there is a car accident, and call for help when somebody’s car breaks down. The disadvantage is that people get distracted (思想不集中) when they are driving at the same time they are talking on a cell phone. It can cause car accidents.
——Rodrigo Cruz from Colombia
Yes, if they use it correctly. Sometimes drivers arc very dangerous when they are talking on a cell phone. They may not drive well if they use one hand to hold the phone and the other hand to drive. In this case, drivers should use a hand-free accessory to talk while driving. That is a safe way to use them while driving.
——Pantium Wong from Hong Kong
No. Cell phones are extremely popular among teenagers. One problem is that they talk on them while they’re driving. Sometimes some of them aren’t careful and drive too fast. Talking on a cell phone while driving at high speed is very dangerous. They shouldn’t drive and talk on the phone at the same time because they can’t control the car and may cause accidents.
——Ngoc-Ahn Thi Ho from Vietnam
【1】The people above all think the disadvantage of using cell phones while driving is .
A. to lose life B. to cause accidents

A. Driving at a young age. B. Driving too fast.
C. Being careless. D. Talking on cell phones
22、Swiss designer Didier Rudolf Quarroz’s love of Chinese tea culture has inspired him to design innovative new items to brew the tea. Ouarroz developed an interest in Chinese tea after working at a Shanghai-based design company, where he was by chance engaged in a tea project.
His research helped him develop a deep understanding of the differences between Chinese and Western tea products. And this made him think about designing items for foreigners to brew Chinese tea. “I hope to design easy-to-use and modern tea-making tools to help foreigners try Chinese traditional tea and give them an interesting experience in brewing tea,” Quarroz says.
In 2017,he moved to Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang province and a major tea-production base, to explore the possibilities of applying Western concepts in designing objects for Chinese tea. “I want to focus on the tea industry, and Hangzhou is a great fit because of the long history and profound culture of tea here,” Quarroz says.
Quarroz began to concentrate on the design of a tea infuser (注射器) to make brewing easier for foreigners. It’s a glass container with a silicone (硅胶) lid. All users need to do is to put the leaves inside, place it in a cup and add hot water.” The infuser can be taken out from the cup easily without users’ fingers being hurt by the hot water,” Quarroz says.
Hangzhou has a booming tea industry, which has offered the Swiss designer many opportunities to cooperate with local plantations and companies. “Driven by the love of Chinese tea, I cooperate with local companies and help them to develop new kinds of tea products. Also, we sometimes organize workshops to introduce different teas to the public,” Quarroz says.
Hangzhou also enables smooth business operations, he adds. “In general, it is easy to start a business in Hangzhou. And the government and agencies are increasing efforts to help and support young entrepreneurs, including us from foreign countries,” he adds. Quarroz says he plans to design 10 innovative tea-related products by combining Chinese tea culture with international elements.

23、The youngest of five children in a middle-class family, Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day, in 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts. Although she was educated at home, Clara began teaching school herself at the age of fifteen until 1854. Later, before the Civil War (内战), Clara’s greatest achievement was the establishment (建立) of a free public school in Bordentown, New Jersey. What’s more, her only medical experience was when she cared for her invalid (病弱者) brother for two years.
When the Civil War broke out, Clara soon learned that many of the wounded soldiers had suffered from lack of medical supplies. So she asked for donations (捐款) to buy those supplies and began her own operation to hand out these supplies. In 1865, Clara built an information centre to serve war-torn families and often gave speeches. With so much work, she fell ill in 1868 and went to Switzerland to recover, where she learned something about the International Red Cross founded in 1864. But the United States could not take part then. Barton, returned home and began to establish the Red Cross in America. She worked hard, travelling to Washington for support, gave speeches and wrote articles to win the support of the public. She told people the Red Cross was not only important during times of war, but also useful in peace time. This got the attention of both the public and the politicians, and thus the American Association of the Red Cross came into being in 1881.

24、A Teenage Inventor
The world could be one step closer to quick an inexpensive Ebola detection （埃博拉检测）thanks to a teenager from Connecticut （康涅狄格州）. b
Olivia Hallisey, a junior at Greenwich High School, was awarded $50，000 in the Google Science Fair for her new method that detects Ebola, a virus that causes bleeding from different parts of the body and usually causes death.Olivia’s method is to ask patients to put their saliva （唾液）onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is catching Ebloa, Present Ebola tests take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000.Olivia’s method, however, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25.Besides, the sample （样本)doesn’t have to be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia uses to produce the testing cards.
Olivia was inspired to deal with this global problem after watching the news that more than 10,000 people died from Ebola in West Africa, worried about the fact that, while the acts of involvement can improve present detection methods are costly,time-consuming and require complex tools.Olivia got help from her science research teacher.She drew out directions from past research,and figured out detection systems that have proven to work with other diseases, including Lyme disease and yellow fever.
“What affects one country affects everyone,”Olivia told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the huge challenges which cause harm to the global health.” The Connecticut’s teen,who hopes to become a doctor one day, was named Google Science Fair winner in the competition of 20 competitors from across the globe. The fair is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in most countries.
Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers. “I would just encourage girls to try it in the beginning, and remind them that they don t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for maths or science,” she told CNBC, but just really look at something they are and then think how to improve something or make it more enjoyable or relate it to their interests.”
