3 . LONE TREE, colorado-patanjali Rao, a 15-year-old Colorado high school student and young scientist, who has used artificial intelligence （AI） and created apps to deal with social problems, has been named Time magazine's first-ever "Kid of the Year".

Time says Rao stood out for creating a world-wide community of young inventors and inspiring them to go after their goals. Rao insists that starting out small doesn't matter, as long as you have a passion （热爱）for it.

Rao's sense of invention started early. At age 12, she developed a portable device to discover lead in water. She has also created an app called Kindly that uses artificial intelligence to help prevent cyberbullying （网络欺凌）. It allows teens to type in a word or phrase to find out if the words they are using are bullying and lets them decide what they are sending.

She said that "Work is going to be in our generation's hands pretty soon. So if no one else is going to do it, I'm going to do it.”

Rao has partnered with schools, museums, and science, technology, engineering and math organizations, and other societies to work for thousands of other students.

In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insists that devotion to science is an act of kindness and the best way that a younger generation can better the world. “We have science in everything we're involved in, and I think the biggest thing to put out there is that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be an innovator," Rao says.

"Anybody can do science.”

C．Passion and devotion help to promote excellence.

D．Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.

4 . Sustainability(可持续性), one of the biggest topics of the last decade, has become the ray of hope to protect the planet. It's a topic we can't ignore and we must act now in a more sustainable way.

What does that mean for the world of technology? E-waste is one of the planet's biggest contributing waste problems.

Not only e-waste, but the materials that go into tech products are part of the problem. Take the smartphone industry for example, dozens of metals, minerals which have to be taken from the earth(including 16 of 17 rare metals) go into making phones. And with demand for mobile phones bigger than ever, it's a problem that needs to be solved.

With a challenge comes an opportunity, and there's already some progress happening - great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our tech. People used to turn their noses up at the idea of a second-hand product, but there's been a huge increase in demand for refurbished tech(翻新技术). For example, refurbished smartphone sales in the US have risen by 28% in the last 12 months while brand new sales have fallen by 21%.

Many communities are making an effort to deal with e-waste as well. Cities, schools, or churches will sometimes hold events to collect e-waste and send it to recycling centers. Some companies even offer buy-back programs where people will be given cash if they turn in old devices.

So the next time you want to deal with your e-waste, whether a smartphone, a laptop, an MP4 player or other, consider the more environmentally-friendly choices. It is possible to be sustainable with your tech after all.

10 . Survival in the Wild

Plants and animals have the hard job of surviving in a very wild world. How do they do it?    1    Camouflage(保护色) is one way animals use to survive. For some animals, this means that their fur, scales, or skin are a similar color to the land around them. Deer, for example, have brown fur that match(和……相匹配)the trees, so it’s harder for hunters to see them. This saves them from becoming food to a larger animal.    2    Many   people   think   of   chameleons   when   they   think   of   this   type   of camouflage, but rabbits are a great example as well. Some rabbits’ fur will change colors depending on the season. Their fur might be brown in spring, summer, and autumn to match the trees, but the brown fur will fall out and white fur will grow in the winter to match the snow.    3    

Some insects, instead of matching their environment, look like something else that will stop animals from eating them. A walking stick looks just like a stick so that hunters will pass it by without noticing it.

Some moths and butterflies have designs on their wings that make them look like snakes or owls, to frighten away their hunters.

    4    They want to be easily noticed to survive! Many plants grow flowers with colorful petals(花瓣) to attract bees. The bees help pollinate the flowers so that they can produce new flowers.

Instead of hiding, some plants and animals develop structures to hurt anything that tries to hurt them. Some plants develop thorns(刺)so that animals will not eat them.    5    Hedgehogs even have spikes(尖刺), called quills or spines, covering their backs so animals won’t want to eat them!

There are many ways plants and animals have adapted to survive in the wild. Do you know of any other ways?

A．Some animals have extremely sharp teeth so they can fight off other animals.

B．Some animals can actually change colors to match their environment.

C．As a result, the rabbit has different colors in different seasons.

D．There are many ways plants and animals have used in order to survive.

E．This way the rabbit is safer from hunters year-round.

F．For some plants, however, they don’t want to match their environment.

G．But some plants survive in a quite different way.
