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?

Industrious and sociable. B. Ambitious and caring.

C. Intelligent and competitive. D. Sensitive and conservative.

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 landscapes. 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
