Thinking outside the Box
If you think young people can't have an influence on the world，think again. Over the years， teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people do things.
Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot，a gardening robot that can take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. It
helps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy，and makes gardening easy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.
Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she invented
iCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets from anywhere in the world using a smartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras to video chat with their pets.
Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console(操 控 器 ) . So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can be

B
Parisian architect(建 筑 师 )Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.
Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing，the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai
Pudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The worldfamous architect，writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.
How was it that you went from architecture to writing—and more recently to painting?
I have a desire to create，for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything about architecture，I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me，painting is just as important， creatively，but it's something you do alone in your workshop，with a piece of paper and a pot of ink—it's totally refreshing.
Why did you wait so many years to start painting?
It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried to improve this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process—it takes at least a year to write a book. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day，in the light，and then putting
yourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no one has asked—it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life. What is your project in China right now?
There's a project in the ZhuhaiMacao area. The Chinese engineering and building company Zhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project，suggesting that he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to do some of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion date is in 2019.
24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because . A. he likes paper and ink B. he thinks painting is faster
C. he has a desire to create D. he has to prove that he is great 25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now? A. In Beijing. B. In Jinan.
C. In Shanghai Pudong. D. In the ZhuhaiMacao area.
