Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.
For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from McKinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called \
The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the car seat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child's parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.
Curry's father believes that the invention has potential. \cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new,\these technologies will get to production faster.\where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.
In January, Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis' potential that they have raised more than twice that--over $46,000.
Curry's father remembers the first time he saw his son's sketch. \was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,\24. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?

A.His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car. B.His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat. C.The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car. D.The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident. 25.What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child? A.It would inform the parents or even the police. B.It would pump out the hot air in the car. C.It would sound the alarm attached to the car. D.It would get the window open to save the child.
26.What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention? A.It used some of the most advanced technology. B.It simply combined technologies that existed. C.It could accelerate production of new technology. D.It is the most advanced among similar products. 27.Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money? A.To conduct experiments to test the invention. B.To get other children devoted to inventions. C.To support a charity of medical aid for children. D.To get the patent and bring it to production.

The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. that's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.
Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through, \on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.
Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that
