8、kers.A group of 10 students at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, recently invented a device, WheeStroll, that enables people in wheelchairs to push a baby stroller(婴儿车). The teens were inspired to create it when Chelsie King, a teacher at their school, went to their teacher, Matt, to ask for help.
9、Chelsies husband, Jeremy King, had brain surgery to remove a tumor(肿瘤) three years ago, which left him with physical challenges. While he can walk, he is unsteady and usually gets around in a wheelchair for safetys sake. The two of them were expecting their son Phoenix to be born in March. As they s
10、truggled to find adaptive ways for Jeremy to care for a baby, they realized there was no way for him to take their baby for a walk outside in a stroller.Chelsie went to Matt for help. Matt leads a high school class called “Making for Social Good”. Matt thought Chelsies idea to make Jeremy an adaptiv
11、e wheelchair attachment was the perfect project for his students, so they got to work!The students talked to somebody at the local fire department who actually does baby car seat installation(安装) training to try to better understand how those things work. They held a video conference with Jeremy and
12、 Chelsie to discuss his needs and wants, and then they each came up with an idea and created a 3D model for it. Together, they narrowed everything down to the best two designs. The teens put their designs through rigorous testing before they were ready for Jeremy to try one out.“It was certainly emo
13、tional seeing the process and everything that went into this,” Jeremy said. “I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes(原型),” Chelsie added.The WheeStroll was completed around the same time Chelsie gave birth.

This trend of outward growth became common in the United States after Worl
17、d War II when people started leaving heavily-populated cities for new suburbs.The rise of the suburbs led to small communities connected by roads and dependent on cars. This trend generally comes with unfavorable environmental and social impacts, including traffic jams, air pollution, loss of forest
18、 and agricultural land and communities that are more segregated (隔离的) by race and class.As suburban neighborhoods multiplied, public transportation failed to keep up. Instead, transportation in the suburbs centered around road construction for the use of cars rather than connecting neighborhoods wit
19、h bus and rail systems or providing alternative options like cycling lanes and pedestrian paths.Not everyone had an equal shot at the American suburban dream. Suburban communities were generally whiter and wealthier, while people of color were often stuck in urban centers.As more land is taken up by
20、 housing, roads, and shopping centers, critical wildlife habitat is destroyed. This change can lead to a decrease in biodiversity. In addition, loss of open space contributes to declining air and water quality.In the 1950s people became aware of negative impacts of urban sprawl. Over time, citizens
21、and local governments sought to address those concerns. In the 1970s. Portland, Oregon became one of the first cities to apply smart growth strategies. The city concentrated on population growth in the urban center rather than expanding suburbs. Today, it reflects many smart growth principles; diver
22、se housing options, plentiful greenspace, mixed-use developments, preservation of ecologically important areas, and multiple transportation options.Today, cities around the world are adopting these principles to deal with pollution and climate change, conserve open space, energy and other natural re

26、loping treatments for intestinal diseases and for taking multiple drugs at the same time.“The intestines play an important role in metabolizing and recycling certain plant compounds and drugs,” reports Ming Hu, a professor in University of Houston.The new information could help chemists develop bett
27、er drugs and doctors fine-tune medication dosing, especially when a patient takes multiple drugs at the same time.Scientists have long recognized that bile(胆汁) acid is produced in the liver and released into the intestines and is then recycled back through the liver for reuse as the bile, Some drugs
28、 that are metabolized in the liver also go through this process.“The liver has long been considered the most important organ for drug metabolism,” said Hu. “But weve shown that the intestines also play a major role in drug metabolism.”In the experiments, the team administered 16 different types of d
29、rugs directly to the liver or intestines and then tracked what happened to the treatments. They found that some drugs and plant compounds were metabolized in the intestines and the metabolites were then transported to the liver before being cycled back into the intestines.“In this process, the liver
30、 acts only as a recycling organ, which is rare, since the liver is known to be the metabolic superstar organ in humans,” said Hu. “This may explain why some drugs or plant compounds have larger effects on the intestines than anticipated the body. We hope our findings will be useful for medicinal che

34、srepresents the broader context of a news event or, worse, an article that intentionally cheats readers about the facts of an event. From influencing the outcome of elections to increasing doubt about health care practices such as vaccine use, misinformation can be dangerous._17_First, social media
35、provide an easy platform for misinformation. Second, our brains like the dramatic and fun stories that misinformation delivers. And third, we like sharing those kinds of contents!When you use social media, the “social” aspect usually overweighs your good sense about fact-checking or source credibili
36、ty(可靠性). It feels like you have control over whose posts you see._18_Social media usually provide casual ways to stay in touch with people and view interesting contents, as well as places to relax. But this means that when you mindlessly browse, you are exposed to misinformation while your guard is
37、down.We cant blame the spread of misinformation only on social media, though._19_These kinds of articles have high entertainment value. This makes them more attractive than the daily political news.People who produce misinformation know that we like reading these kinds of stories, so they keep makin

39、cial media.EMisinformation is attractive to us because it is usually dramatic and fun.FMisinformation refers to the spread of incorrect or misleading information.GAnd, unfortunately, we complete a cycle of misinformation when we read and share it.三、完形填空Morning tea is a family tradition.
