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.

B．E. A．C．O. 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 B．E. A．C．O. 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."

4．Why does Cara want to stop her mother putting her pictures online?

A．She is not a very pretty girl. B．Her friends keep laughing at her.

C．She does not like being photographed. D．Some of the pictures are embarrassing.

5．What happened after Nate told his friends that he was in a news report?

A．They felt really happy for him. B．Many of them stayed away from him.

C．Many of them did not believe him. D．They also opened their own accounts.

6．The study from the Levin College of Law suggests that .

A．parents should keep their kids away from the Internet

B．pictures should not be put online without kids' agreement

C．kids should not tell their stories of success to their friends

D．putting kids' information online might lead to some problems

7．How is the text mainly developed?

A．By giving examples. B．By reasoning.

C．By following time order. D．By comparing.

A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu, recently complained online that

her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4, 500 yuan （ $ 633） even

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,
