A year ago, the 10-year-old had to design an anti-smoking poster for a school project. Rather than a poster, she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes.“I like people to play with things more than read and write,” she says. So she researched her idea on the Internet, found a pany in China that could make it, saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.Paula says her daughter “thinks differently”: Ideas jump into her mind. After she got sun-burnt on holiday, Helen invented a small plastic bracelet（手镯) that changes color in the sun, telling you when to put on sunscreen. Several sunscreen panies have expressed an interest in the idea. She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty. “But we didnt do anything with it,” says Paula.Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod she has designed. “ There is a camera on the hook, ” she explains, “and the screen is on the handle，and it shows you if youve caught a fish or not. ”Helen doesnt want to go to university. She keeps her pink-and-cream bedroom tidy. Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter. “Everything has to be in a certain order,” Paula says. “Her brothers and sistersgo with the flow, but with Helen, its What time will that be happening? or Where am I being picked up from today? ”8. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that Helen _.A. is not willing to go to school B. likes to play with her brothers and sistersC. prefers making something by herself D. is good at reading and writing9. What did Helen invent after she got sun-burnt on vacation?A. The anti-smoking posterB. The bracelet telling when to put on sunscreenC. The ball providing water for thirsty dogsD.

The passage is mainly about _.A. how Helen helps people give up smokingB. a little girls dream to be a world-famous inventorC. a 10-year-old inventors storyD. Helens relationship with her family membersDMost children have ever heard their parents yell“sit up straight ！”or“dont slouch（无精打采）！”when they eat dinnerNowadays，it is also heard around another activity -video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet puter. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a severe pain in the neck around June or July. Whats worse, the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin bee concerned.The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain（慢性痛） in their necks，arms and shoulders is on the increase sharply in recent years. They are not aging, they havent had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year-old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day,seven days a week, or all the time. Health experts predict there will be not only physical but psychological and emotional problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using puters,smart phones or other devices. Stand up. Stretch the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That is the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem pletely. After all, the medication does not help sometimes.12. What is Mehzabin worried about?A.
