Who says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals? Over the
years, children have also succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world.
Here are a few inventions that came to life from the minds of young children.
Hero Helmet
Seven-year-old Samuel Meyer's invention is aimed at stopping people from riding
their bikes or skateboards without using a helmet. The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt
remote that controls a lock on the wheels which unlocks when the Helmet is being
worn by the rider. Samuel says: no helmet, no bike.
Robotic Earthworm
The first thought that comes to mind is, why a robotic earthworm? Well, ten-year-
old David Cohen had some useful applications in mind. He believed it could be used
to find victims after a flood, earthquake or fire. The robot could get into small and
dangerous places where search dogs and humans could not go.
BE. ACO. N.
Fifteen-year-old Hannah Herbst's invention, which stands for Bringing Electricity
Access to Countries through Ocean Energy, was inspired by her pen pal who lives in
Ethiopia and did not have access to lights. So she came up with BE. ACO. N,
which absorbs energy directly from ocean waves. Her invention won the “Discovery
Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge” in 2015 and other numerous awards.
Portable Wheelchair Controller
At only eight years old, Amelia Fox created the invention to help lift people in
and out of their wheelchair. This invention was not just born out of the desire to create
something. Amelia developed this controller for her brother, who had just got hip
surgery and needed the wheelchair to move around.

For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to ask her mother
about what she saw on the Internet. Not long ago, the 11-year-old found out that her
mother had been posting her photos in her blog, without her agreement, for much of
her life. "There are pictures I don't like of myself. It would be an embarrassment(令人
尴尬的事)if my friends see those photos online," she said. "Now I'm even worried
anytime someone has a phone out around me. I'm afraid that my photos could be
taken and posted somewhere."
Not all kids feel the same when finding out they've been living a life online.
Some are happy. In the fourth grade, Nate searched his name and found that he was in
a news report about his making a beautiful kite in his third-grade class. He was really
happy with that and he decided to search online every few months, hoping to find
other things about himself online.
"I was surprised, really surprised," he said. "It made me feel famous."
He even kept saying, "Oh, I'm in a news report online." Although his friends
knew that, many of his friends refused to stay close to him.
Like most other kids, Cara and Nate grew up in a society rich with social media.
While many kids may not yet have accounts(账户)themselves, their parents, schools,
sports teams, and organizations have been building an online presence for them since
their birth. According to a study from the Levin College of Law at the University of
Florida, 92 percent of kids under the age of 2 already have their own life online.
"The blog posts are sure to follow the children into adulthood," says the study.
"Therefore, we have to be careful about putting the children's personal information
online."
4Why does Cara want to stop her mother putting her pictures online?
AShe is not a very pretty girl. BHer friends keep laughing at her.
CShe does not like being photographed. DSome of the pictures are embarrassing.
5What happened after Nate told his friends that he was in a news report?
AThey felt really happy for him. BMany of them stayed away from him.
CMany of them did not believe him. DThey also opened their own accounts.
6The study from the Levin College of Law suggests that .
Aparents should keep their kids away from the Internet
Bpictures should not be put online without kids' agreement
Ckids should not tell their stories of success to their friends
Dputting kids' information online might lead to some problems
7How is the text mainly developed?
ABy giving examples. BBy reasoning.
CBy following time order. DBy comparing.

A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu, recently complained online that
her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4, 500 yuan $ 633even
when she said her current allowance 2,000 yuan was not enough to cover her
expenses, sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month.
One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue
education, not comfort.
Even for a college student studying in a first -tier city in China, 2, 000 yuan is
enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in
Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2, 000 yuan is more than enough. According to a
survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform, the average monthly expense for an
undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,
