He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into ri
38、vers before it reaches the oceans. Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device(装置) called I
39、nterceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the worlds oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop a
40、s production increases. Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to
41、clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans clean again,” said Slat. The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guid

43、 to work. B. It can help put waste into groups. C. It is being under test. D. It is mainly used in the oceans.25. What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The machines. B. The rivers. C.

45、 the summer. Theyve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. Hes a professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Spending time with friends and meeting new people by
46、doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment（电子设备）, then they will fail to communicate with others,” Han said. “In todays world, its very easy for kids to stay
47、indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should restrict the time that their children spend on electronic equipment. For example, the time they spend on their phones cannot be more
48、 than one hour a day.” Its also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “Its not the length of time, but the quality of time that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else.
