A
We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can’t find a recycling bin anywhere.
A team of middle school students from the US noticed this ______, so they designed their Recycling Bin app (应用程序). This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save places as favorites on it. This app also reminds users to recycle.
The team, of nine students in Grade Six, is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The
competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. It asks students to think of an app that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling.
“We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” said Jaden Hilkemann, 12. “We worked together and it was great,” Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they learned a lot working together. “At first, we all didn’t agree on what we wanted it exactly to do, but in the end we all came to an agreement,” he said.
They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin app has been put into use in the Google Play app store for Android phones.
“I was so excited when it went up at the app store,” said Seralyn Blake, 12. “A lot of my family members downloaded (下载) the app. It was pretty cool.”
( )1. Which of the following words can be put into the blank in Paragraph 2? A. Difference. B. Chance. C. Problem. D. Mystery. ( )2. What can we know about the Verizon Innovative App Challenge?

Were dinosaurs (恐龙) warm-blooded or cold-blooded? According to a new study, scientists have found that they were somewhere in the middle. This new study shows that dinosaurs were very different from most of today’s animals that are either warm or cold-blooded.6
“I think we were all surprised by this,” said Felisa Smith from the University of New Mexico. “The idea certainly took some getting used to.”
The last dinosaurs lived on the earth more than 60 million years ago. However, there is always more to discover about these ancient animals.
A study by a team of scientists led by John M. Grady of the university studied many different kinds of dinosaurs in their research. They looked at growth rate (比率), body temperature and body size of different kinds of dinosaurs.
How are warm-blooded animals different from cold-blooded animals? Warm-blooded animals like humans can control their body temperature. They eat a lot, and burn calories (卡路里) quickly. They have a more active lifestyle than cold-blooded animals. While cold-blooded animals such as snakes do not control their body temperature. Instead, they must use sunlight to keep warm, and they move much more slowly. Cold-blooded animals do not need to eat very much. Their bodies slow down in colder temperatures.
Dinosaurs were in the middle because they didn’t completely control their body temperature, but their body temperature didn’t only depend on the environment either. This helped dinosaurs and allowed them to live for so many years.
Besides dinosaurs, there are other animals that are not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded, such as great white sharks.
