21、mperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesnt plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he wont be trying to get a patent(专利). Wills Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people t

22、o “design something that solves a problem”.Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Wills invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 millio

23、n people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”.

A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly a

29、nd stupid, make fun of me and of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Un

30、luckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fac

31、t that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you wont do anything about it. Does

32、 that make anyone strong? No. Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I havent done anything about it yet. Well, I ha

33、te this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I dont want the pain cycle to continue and I dont want to become someone I dont want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with goo

34、d grades, by the way(being stupid was a lieit is all a lie). You dont have to wait to live. Do something today.29.

The writer wri

36、tes the passage mainly to _.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped him DImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cu

37、te and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity o

38、n the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many r

39、easons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for anothers behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction

40、(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you cant get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really dont know the reasons for someones behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life

41、 difficult, remember that its usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than

Never believe others have pain. B. Never pay attention to others pain.C. Never think others pain is bigger than it

Youve Got a Reason to Judge4. 任务型阅读British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in

45、 public. They often use the word sorryeven when they dont really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is? If theyre five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by s

46、aying Sorry Im late!They use the word sorry in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of sorry are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because youve done

47、something wrong. Now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with Sorry to bother you. In this situation, they arent saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.So what does sorry really mean? And why do British people u

48、se it so much? Well, in the British culture, saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who they dont know very well. Its also a very clever way to get what they want. In a recent experiment, an actor went up to a different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile p

49、hones in order to make a call. When he went up to one group of strangers and asked them without saying sorry first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he said sorry to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile

50、phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying sorry is not just being polite, but it is also a good method to get what they want too!Title: Why do British people say sorry?Main pointsDetailed informationThe _36_ in which they say sorryl asking for the timel Being late for an appointmentThe
