In a video submitted to a nationwide science competition, Heman Bekele from Virginia spelled out his mission
briefly — cure cancer, one bar of soap at a time. He created a cheap soap that could potentially help fight skin cancer.
His invention won him the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, an annual
competition that invites students in grades five through eight to “change their world for the better with a single
innovative idea”, on October 10, 2023.
At age 4, Heman moved to America from Ethiopia, where he always saw people constantly working under the
hot sun. While he considered ideas for the competition, it struck him that so many people in his hometown were
unaware of the risk of sun exposure. The recollections fueled his decision to focus his research on skin cancer.
“I hoped to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could be affordable for
as many people as possible,” Heman said. As he initially thought about his approach, Heman wanted his product to be
something as much of a “constant” in people’s life as possible, an item that was most convenient in contrast to other
medicinal products.
In June 2023, he was selected as a top-ten finalist and paired with 3M product engineering specialist Deborah
Isabelle to develop and test a physical prototype (原型) of his idea. It took the pair four months of trial and error to
create “Skin Cancer Treating Soap” (SCTS). The bar contains chemicals that restore the body’s dendritic cells killed
by cancer cells. Once reconstructed, dendritic cells, the body’s first line of defense against cancer and infections, are
capable of fighting against cancer cells. SCTS, which costs just 50 cents a bar, still has to undergo clinical trials. The
process could take over five years.
Heman’s plan for the soap stretches far beyond the winning. He has a five-year plan, which includes seeking
approval from the Food and Drug Administration. He also hopes to start a nonprofit to distribute the soap in the future.
“There is still a lot left to do,” the 14-year-old teenager said.
4. What inspired Heman’s idea for the invention?
A. Folk tales. B. Childhood memories.
C. Working experiences. D. Medical observations.
5. In which aspect did Heman want his product to differ from other treatments?
A. Accessibility. B. Function. C. Security. D. Effectiveness.
6. How does SCTS work?
A. It minimizes solar radiation. B. It kills cancer cells directly.
C. It reactivates destroyed cells. D. It removes viruses from the skin.
7. Which of the following best describes Heman according to the last paragraph?
A. Industrious and sociable. B. Ambitious and caring.
C. Intelligent and competitive. D. Sensitive and conservative.
C
Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search
and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landcapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went
missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite
challenges in the inquiry into them.
Trail of the Lost was her answer.
It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people
looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that
surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey.
The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the
three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those
who knew them well and those who joined the search.
Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford
played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most
of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word
of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided
valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the
investigations.
The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian
Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and
mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t
observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the
PCT.
Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is
packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek.
8. What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost?
A. Her love for her prior career.
B. Her strong attachment to the PCT.
C. The stress from the missing families.
