Despite Kyle Tianshi being only a 15-year-old US high schooler，he has published five sci-fi novels.His fifth book Eventide was released in July.However，this may not be his most impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”，a $20,000 grand prize.It is the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards.The competition aims to encourage and support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their communities by taking action for the planet.
Kyle，a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US，received the honor for his portable invention called NEREID.The device can detect microscopic particles(粒子) in water by using a laser and microscope.These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.
Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in San Diego，California，the US.People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked him not to drink tap water.Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water：a laser，a microscope and a micro-computer.“It’s incredibly powerful for the price，”Kyle said.Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory，doing research on the pollution of drinking water caused by micro-plastics.
Kyle hopes to bring to market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution levels in drinking water.In this way，he can offer help to people who don’t have access to water filtration(过滤) systems.He has applied for a patent.
Kyle said his sister Emily，a freshman at Stanford University，inspired his interest in environmental research.She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection device.They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.

Launched in Singapore last November，Hong Kong-based company Omnifoods has introduced a range of six plant-based sea foods to stand in for tuna，crab and whitefish.Similar to their pork substitutes，the new products are said to offer a safe and alternative source of protein while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas.
Omnifoods’expansion comes at a time when the market for plant-based products is growing.According to Enterprise Singapore，local interest in sensible consumption doubled in 2021，and flexitarians—people who primarily eat a plant-based diet but occasionally consume meat or seafood—represent the fastest growth.The ocean is another reason cited as the need for plant-based seafood.The average person here consumed 22kg of seafood last year，surpassing the global average of 20kg.The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) also observed that three quarters of the seafood served in Singapore is unsustainable.Besides，fish farming involves the use of chemicals to prevent disease and parasites and these chemicals then accumulate in fish tissues，which becomes a serious threat to people’s health.
Omnifoods says their products address all these concerns.Made primarily from non-genetically modified soybeans，the plant-based alternatives are free of harmful substances，absolutely safe.The company pointed out that the products share a similar look，feel and taste of the real thing.“We’ve done pilot taste tests with friends，family，and one sushi restaurant.Many admire the appearance and mouthfeel that our tuna product has as well as its nutritional benefits.Now we are struggling to improve our product until it’s an exact match or tastes better than animal-based tuna，”added David Yeung.
Besides Omnifoods，Singapore companies are also exploring the alternative seafood market.Growthwell Group recently raised US $22 million to fund its attempt into shrimp，squid and crab made using chickpea protein.“Global demand for plant-based meats is also shooting up，with the value set to reach US $ 23.2 billion by 2024，”said market research company Euromonitor.

Tommy，a 26-year-old chimp(猩猩)，lives in a small cage in a used truck sales lot in New York.Retired from movie work and whatever else once occupied him，he has no chimp friends to keep him company—just a TV.He is worlds away from the rainforest of Western Africa，where chimps spend most of their lives in trees，hunting，and socializing together.
His owner hasn’t broken any laws，but an animal rights group called the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) is trying to change the view.The group says chimps have such a humanlike intelligence that they should be recognized as “legal persons”and be placed in an animal shelter and wander free.
You’ve probably heard the term “animal rights”，but animals don’t actually have rights in many countries.Animal-welfare laws punish people who mistreat animals，but that’s not the same as chimps having a right to liberty or anything else.
NhRP’s first step is to ask a judge to end people’s unjust arrest on behalf of Tommy and other privately owned chimps.If the court decides to recognize chimps as legal persons，NhRP’s next step will be arguing for what rights the chimps should be granted.“The right that we believe they should have most of all is the right to bodily liberty，”says Wise，a NhRP group member.“They should be able to choose how to live their lives.”
Tommy’s owner，Pat Lavery，says he rescued Tommy from a careless owner about a decade ago and denies the chimp is mistreated or unhappy.“He likes being by himself，”he says.
“There’s a danger in making a jump to say they’re just like people，”says Richard Cupp，a professor who writes about animals and the law.“If we’re really focused on chimps being very，very smart，then who knows if maybe someday we might...say，‘Hey，here’s a particular human being that’s not very smart at all，maybe the chimps have higher status than this person.’”
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了一个名为“非人类的权利项目 NhRP ”的动物权利组织努力为黑猩猩争取权利的努力及由此引发的争议。
9．What can we know about Tommy
A．He is living a very lonely life.
B．He dislikes living in the rainforest.
C．He likes watching movies very much.
D．He was illegally bought by Pat Lavery.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“he has no chimp friends to keep him company—just a TV”可知，汤米过着非常孤独的生活。故选A。
10．What can we infer from the text
A．Great progress has been made on improving animal rights.
B．Pat Lavery is thought to mistreat Tommy by NhRP.
C．Animal rights are going from bad to worse.
D．Animal rights have been admitted in western countries.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Tommy’s owner，Pat Lavery...and denies the chimp is mistreated or unhappy.”可推断，NhRP认为帕特·拉弗里虐待汤米。故选B。
11．What’s the final goal NhRP wants to achieve

Here are some tips to get your little ones to help you do housework naturally.
Expose kids to housework as much as possible
When they are young，let them watch you cook，wash clothes or walk the dog，or let them help make a bed. 1 .
Especially during the early years，give children the opportunity to wander over and watch what’s going on with the adults. 2 .No lecturing or explanation is needed.This psychological integration(融入) into the family is really important for kids to learn to work together with others later in life.
3
A big motivating force for young children is being around their family，working on a common goal.This motivation is lost if we divide up housework so everyone is working alone.Therefore，if you’re doing laundry，be sure everyone is folding everyone’s clothes.If you have the children just fold their own clothes，the task becomes more about working independently.
Don’t force it
Sometimes people think that to get children to do housework，the parents must be doing a really good job of controlling the kids. 4 .The aim is not to control the kids，but rather to develop the children’s own initiative(主动性)．
Forcing the child actually has the opposite effect.It can generate resistance.
5 .Asking a little kid “Could you help me with this？”often gets them on board more often than simply saying “You must do this”．
A．Actually，the opposite is true
B．Always aim to work together
C．The goal is to control the parents
D．Change your mind about young children
E．Just like adults，kids don’t like being bossed around
F．You’ll be surprised by how much children learn by simply observing what you do
G．Basically，be sure they’re around anything you want them to help you later in life
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几点如何让你的孩子自然地帮你做家务的建议。
1．答案 G
解析 上文举例介绍了让孩子尽可能多地看你做家务，让他们接触到家务，G项(总的来说，确保他们在你希望他们在以后的生活中帮助你做的任何事情的周围)是对上文的总结，故选G。
2．答案 F
解析 上文再次强调让孩子多观察大人在干什么，F项(你会惊讶于孩子们仅仅通过观察你所做的事情就能学到很多东西)能够承接上文。故选F。
3．答案 B
解析 根据下文可知，本段内容告诉我们孩子喜欢和家人一起做一件事，为了共同的目标而努力，B项(始终以一起工作为目标)能够概括段落主旨。故选B。
4．答案 A
解析 上文的观点认为要让孩子做家务，父母需要控制孩子；下文观点认为要让孩子做家务，不是要控制孩子，而是培养孩子的主动性，A项(事实上，情况恰恰相反)能够承上启下。故选A。
5．答案 E
解析 上文告诉我们要让一个小孩帮你做家务，不要用命令的口吻，E项(就像成年人一样，孩子们不喜欢被人指手画脚)能够承接上文。故选E。必修第三册 Unit 4 Space Exploration
