Over 300 schoolchildren in Melbourne's inner west will be sporting one-of-a-kind backpacks that double up as air quality readers to help scientists explore ways to reduce air pollution. It's all part of the study "Breathe Melboume" where children will become air quality scientists by collecting valuable data while on their way to and from the classroom. Meanwhile,the second section of the bag acts as a functional space so children can pack the things they need for school.
Schools in Brimbank, Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay were specifically chosen to be involved in the research due to high asthma (哮喘)rates that resulted from the high air pollution levels. This is because of the locations industrial history, proximity(邻近)to the Port of Melbourne and the large amount of diesel-fuelled vehicles on surrounding roads, namely trucks.
So, Professor Lou Irving from the Royal Melbourme Hospital says the areas have become "ahotspot for active asthma" with more inner west children going to hospitals with the disease compared to most other areas of Australia.
Dyson engineer and one of the masterminds behind the backpack, James Shale, explained how the air quality reader inside the bag worked. A small fan within the backpack directs outside air through an opening towards the sensors(传感器),which then measure the air particles(微粒) and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO,).A GPS tracker is also connected to the bag,which allows experts to see what areas have more air pollution.
Data from the sensors is then studied by researchers at Deakin University who will work with students involved to determine ways to improve the air they breathe.
A pilot study with students from Kingsville Primary School showed now children willingly changed their walking routes (路线) and the ways they got to school following the experiment as they found other healthier choices.
32.What are the backpacks used for
A.Increasing the air supply.
B. Measuring air quality.
C.Storing some air.
D.Cleaning the air.
33.Why were Brimbank, Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay chosen for the research
A.Industry in these areas is highly developed.
B.These areas have convenient transportation.
C. These areas have high levels of asthma rates.
D.Students in these areas are active in doing research.
34.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the backpacks
A.Where they can be bought.
B. What parts they contain.
C.Who invented them.
D.How they function.
35. How did the pilot study turn out
A. It taught students how to breathe correctly.
B.It developed students' awareness of air pollution.
C. It showed students how air quality is related to learning.
D. It informed students of the less polluted places in Melboume.

Linda realized that growing food was not an easy task; and it required a lot of hard work and dedication.
After the tour, Linda's grandparents sat down with her and talked to her about the importance of saving food. They told her about the millions of people around the world who went hungry every day and how wasting food was a luxury(奢侈)they couldn't afford. Linda felt ashamed of how she had wasted so much food in the past, and she decided to make a change.
From that day on, Linda started valuing every little thing in life. She started eating everything on her plate and helping her grandparents on the farm, and she realized how much work went into growing the food she ate every day.
