Teens who are changing the world
Teenagers are，in fact，solving the problems of today with groundbreaking inventions． Keiana Cavé，U．S．A．
The largest oil slick(浮油)caused by the oil overflow occurring in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 led to baby dolphins dying at six times the usual rate．
Watching the news on TV，Cavé felt that there must be some hidden environmental damage．Aged just 15，she began studying what happens to oil when it's left on the ocean’s surface．The teenager discovered that when it's hit by UV rays from the sun，oil reacts to form chemicals which cause cancer．
Cavé has turned her work into two patents for methods of detecting the dangerous chemicals．
Wang Sunming and Li Jingpeng，China
Realizing the extent to which bacteria spread on public door handles，Wang and Li sought a material—titanium oxide(钛白粉)—that could adequately kill bacteria．However，the chemical isn’t very effective unless exposed to UV rays．Since most door handles are inside buildings——beyond the reach of UV rays from the sun，Wang and Li turned to LED lights and created a LED door handle．When a person touches the handle，the UV light switches on，activating(使活跃)the titanium oxide on it and instantly killing 99．8 percent of the
bacteria that might otherwise have been spread． Julian Rios Cantu，Mexico
This inventor was just 13 years old when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer．He watched in horror as the tumour(肿瘤)grew from the size of a green bean to the size of a golf ball.
After his mother recovered，Cantu set out to protect others from the disease．He developed wearable device that may be able to detect the early signs of breast cancer．If the project succeeds，it can save millions of lives．
21．Why did Cavé begin studying oil left on the ocean’s surface? A．To test her unique prediction． B．To prevent the oil overflowing． C．To apply for a patent on her invention． D．To find the cause of baby dolphins’deaths．
22．What is special about the bacteria—killing door handle? A．The titanium oxide is an activate chemical． B．LED lights are used to provide power at night． C．The UV light causes titanium oxide to kill bacteria． D．The design has made it an affordable choice for most． 23．What can we infer about Cantu’s wearable device? A．It hasn’t been put into use at present. B．It can keep a record of tumors’growth． C．It can stop the tumour from growing fast． D．It helped to discover his mother’s disease．
24．What can we learn from the teenagers mentioned in the text? A．The problems of today are all solved by teenagers． B．They are highly educated and truly creative． C．A good beginning makes a good ending． D．Necessity is the mother of invention．
B
Rey Castueiano didn’t plan to become his father’s primary caregiver，but when Castuciano
spent six weeks in a nursing home with his father who had a stroke(中风)，it led to a moment that changed Castuciano’s life for the better．
“I befriended a lot of the nursing home residents(居民)，”Castuciano says．“I got to know them and noticed how many talents and how much wisdom they had．But there was also a lot of depression and social isolation．”
During one of his stops in the nursing home’s café，he watched a video about seniors in the United States helping Brazilian students improve their English through Skype sessions．
That’s when his idea was born．He saw a way to benefit two populations，older Americans and newcomers，at once．And in 2014，he founded Table Wisdom，whose mission is to bring together mature adults and younger people born abroad(i.e．，recent immigrants and international students)for weekly guidance and conversational English via video chat．
“Being a caregiver wasn’t something I was prepared to do．”he notes．“It was kind of just presented to me，and I had to figure it out．It call be very exhausting and stressful，balancing caregiving with being the founder of a social enterprise．But at the same time，it's satisfying and rewarding work．”And Castueiano says that he’s on the fight path．To date，Table Wisdom has made more than 90 matches．To match people，common interests and personality type are taken into consideration．
Most connect by whatever video software they prefer(for example，FaceTime or WeChat)．For the older adults who struggle with technology or don’t have a reliable internet connection，conversations can take place by phone．
These days，Castuciano is planning to help his parents reunite with family members in southern California，since his father is now doing well．He says，“Taking care of older people is embedded(融入)in our culture．”
25．How did Castuciano have the idea of founding Table Wisdom? A．By working in the nursing home’s cafe． B．By helping newcomers improve their English． C．By watching a video about seniors helping students． D．By communicating with residents in the nursing home． 26．What is the purpose of Table Wisdom?
