At 12, Becky Schroeder, from America, got a patent (专利) for her idea of the glow-paper, becoming the youngest girl to ever receive a patent in the United States.
Two years earlier, the idea had come to Schroeder when she did her homework in the family car. It was getting dark, and she couldn’t see her notebook well. She didn’t have a flashlight and imagined how nice it would be to have a piece of paper that glows (发光) in the dark.
Most kids will stop at imagining, but Schroeder took it a step further. She researched how fireflies (萤火虫) light up and finally remembered seeing “glow in the dark” toys, such as balls and Frisbees. She then found out they all used phosphorescent paint (磷光涂料), which stores energy when the light shines on it and then gives out light in the dark.
The next day, she shopped with her father for some phosphorescent paint. In the darkest room in her house, she spent the evening experimenting (进行实验) with the paint and some paper, until she got it.
Schroeder’s invention includes a board, which is coated with phosphorescent paint. Once a piece of paper is placed on it, it glows and you can write or read without the need of a flashlight.
▲ It has since been used by photographers, doctors and even by NASA.
( )31. Schroeder got the idea of the glow-paper at age ______.
A. 14 B. 12 C. 10 D. 8
( )32. Schroeder invented the glow-paper to ______.
A. finish her homework
B. read and write in the dark
C. make more notebooks for herself
D. help her family make some money
( )33. Schroeder got the inspiration (灵感) for her invention from ______.
A. teachers B. animals C. paintings D. toys
( )34. Which of the sentences can be put in “ ▲ ”
A. The invention was a huge success.
B. Schroeder has worked on it for years.
C. The invention was not welcome at first.
D. It was not easy to put the invention on the market.
( )35. What is the purpose of the passage

D. To encourage us to pay attention to small things in our daily life.

Elephant seals (象海豹) are heavy animals. But they are also excellent divers (潜水者). Their natural enemies are near the water surface, so for safety, elephant seals usually dive deep underwater for food.
“We’ve studied elephant seals since the 1960s. They usually dive for about 30 minutes, and then come up for air for just a couple of minutes before diving again,” said an elephant seal researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC).
Since elephant seals are almost diving nonstop, many people began to be interested in the question — do they sleep while diving
The UCSC scientists did research on this. They invented special caps and put them on 13 young elephant seals to record their brain activities at sea. The caps collected information like how they were moving too. Besides, the scientists also studied earlier research records about elephant seals. Finally, they got the answer.
Yes. Elephant seals take a short sleep while diving, for about 10 minutes during a 30-minute underwater trip. Scientists discovered that elephant seals sleep for around 2 hours a day in the sea. And when they’re in deep sleep, they lose control of their body — just dropping down like a falling leaf. Back on land, they sleep for about 10.8 hours a day, which allows them to be energetic again. This means their sleep on land is so important.
The scientists hope their work will help protect the places where elephant seals sleep when they’re on land.
( )36. Why do elephant seals go deep underwater for food
A. There is more food there.
B. They’re much safer there.
C. Their favorite food is there.
D. The food there is delicious.
( )37. How long have the UCSC scientists studied elephant seals
A. For about 8 years.
B. For about 25 years.
C. For about 40 years.
D. For about 60 years.
( )38. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______.
A. how the scientists did their research
B. how the caps worked on elephant seals
C. what the scientists discovered during the research
D. what information the scientists got about elephant seals
( )39. What can we learn about elephant seals
A. They breathe for 30 minutes after finishing a dive.
B. They usually sleep for about 6.8 hours a day on land.
C. They spend half the time for each dive sleeping in the sea.
D. They can’t control themselves when in deep sleep in the sea.
( )40. What can be the best title for the passage
A. How do elephant seals live in the sea
B. How do elephant seals sleep every day
C. Elephant seals’ short sleep in the deep sea
D. Elephant seals’ diving skills in the deep sea
