Innovative Ideas by Students
Oxygen / carbon dioxide level indicator
S R-Valava, Aftab English Higher Secondary School
The system can detect levels of oxygen / carbon dioxide in the closed car and open windows when the oxygen level drops or carbon dioxide level rises, thereby preventing accidental deaths of children or pets locked inside the car.
New serving tray (托盘)
Alok Singh, Shah Faiz Public School
This serving tray has a release mechanism that can put cups / glasses on the table along with a coaster (玻璃杯垫) without touching it. Once while serving tea to a guest, Alok spilled (洒出) hot tea over him resulting in some burns to his hands. After this incident he came up with this idea to make serving easy and “stylish”.
Posture (姿势) correcting chair
Kulsoom Rizavi, La Martiniere Girls’ College
With sensors at appropriate places, the chair alarms the user when their sitting posture is wrong. Kulsoom dreamed up this idea after being regularly criticized by her mother for her bad posture. She thought that while it may not be possible to be reminded again and again by someone for sitting wrongly, this task can be done by the chair itself.
Sudden fall detector
Soumya Ranjan Behera, BTTS Upper Primary School.
The wearable device alarms others when the user falls suddenly. It is useful for old people and those suffering from fits, epilepsy (癫痫), etc. It will help keep an electronic eye on one’s loved ones.

The film Hacksaw Ridge tells a story of World War II hero Desmond Doss, who saved lives without ever firing a gun. The film stars Garfield as Doss, and is directed by Mel Gibson. The film is based on the 2004 documentary The Conscientious Objector produced by Terry Benedict. When he was just 10 years old, he first knew about Doss. After becoming a filmmaker, Benedict approached Doss, encouraging him to tell his story.
Hollywood had been knocking on Doss's door for many years, but Doss wasn't interested. “He didn't want to mention his life in the war,” Benedict explains. But when Benedict insisted on making a documentary about his life, Doss finally agreed. Then Benedict spent the next three years interviewing Doss and his fellow soldiers in World War Ⅱ.
Not long after the documentary's debut, Benedict met with the then president of the 20th Century Fox. The two wanted to make Doss's story into a film, Hacksaw Ridge. Then Gibson signed on to direct. Benedict shared his knowledge of Doss with the director and the leading actor Garfield. Benedict took Garfield on a road trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee where Doss lived most of his adult life.
In the film Hacksaw Ridge, in a hard-fought battle in Okinawa, Doss repeatedly ran into the land controlled by the enemies to rescue friends and get them down the hill to safety. Even when the rest of his troop abandoned the battlefield, Doss stayed, searching for survivors and pulling his tired body to get as many of his men home as he could.
“Doss was a very consistent man of faith. He was a rock,” Benedict says, “He was the same in the war. He was the same all the way up until the day he died. He set us a good example.”

In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth’s oceans. But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths.
Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped. “Traditionally, captains never cared about the seafloor as long as it stayed far enough away from the hulls of their ships,” journalist Laura Trethewey writes in The Deepest Map. The book explores humankind’s quest to map the seafloor, framed around Bongiovanni’s adventures.
Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology. Satellites have revealed many of the knobs and cracks visible in the deep blue of Google Maps. But with that relatively coarse information, entire mountains can be missed. To see the seafloor in high resolution requires a sophisticated sonar system aboard a big ship that sends sound signals from the sea surface into the abyss (深渊).
Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor. “The seafloor is ‘heard’, rather than seen,” Trethewey writes.
Trethewey’s insightful writing helps readers understand just why mapping the ocean — even in shallow coastal waters — is crucial to so many endeavors. Trethewey’s book is about more than just mapping the oceans. It’s also about what can go wrong when explorers explore. It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June, 2023.
She also reminds us how easily exploration can turn into exploitation. In the not-so-distant past, Europeans “discovered” the so-called New World and mapped it, Trethewey writes. Exploitation followed. Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals.
8. What do the first three paragraphs mainly talk about
A．The writing background of the book.
B．The achievement of the geologist.
C．The production of green technology.
D．The significance of mapping seafloor.
9. How do the mappers figure out the depth of the sea floor
A．They directly measure the depth.
B．They count the time of the signal to travel.
C．They analyze the sound waves from the sonar system.
D．They take a close look at the pictures taken by the satellite.
10. Why does the author mention the accident in 2023
A．To present the value of the book.
B．To remind the readers of the past news.
C．To show the bad effect of human activities.
D．To recommend the readers to read the book.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．It’s a disaster to map the floor.
B．It’s easy to explore the deep sea.
C．Sea miners can make a fortune in the future.
D．Scientists are cautious about charting the ocean.
D
Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life
A．He witnessed food shortage.
B．He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C．He donated food to Africans.
D．He helped to cook at home.
13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment
A．To customize dishes for guests.
B．To make the public aware of food waste.
C．To test a food processing method.
D．To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．Why the ingredients were used.
B．Which dishes were best liked.
C．What the dishes were made of.
D．Where the ingredients were bought.
15. What can we learn about wastED
A．It has ended as planned.
B．It is creating new jobs.
C．It has regained popularity.
D．It is criticized by top chefs.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Friday evening, I couldn’t hold back my news. “My teacher wants us to make a collage (拼贴画) from old cloth for a class project,” I announced at dinner. “It’s due next Monday.” Mom didn’t look up from her plate. “We’ll see,” she said quietly. My heart sank. “What does ‘we’ll see’ mean ” I thought. “If I don’t finish this project, I’ll fail the assignment.” I pushed my food around my plate, my excitement gone. Later, I approached Dad carefully. “We need to find some old fabric…” I said. He was reading the newspaper. “Hmm” was all he said, not even looking at me. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. “Maybe my schoolwork isn’t important to them,” I worried.
Throughout Saturday, I waited, hoping to hear the sound of scissors or the rustle of cloth. But nothing happened. Did they forget I wondered, my stomach tight with worry.
By Sunday afternoon, I was fighting back tears. The deadline felt like a dark cloud over me. In our home, asking twice often led to trouble. I watched my parents move around the house, wishing one of them would say something — anything — about my project. But they were busy with their own tasks. I felt invisible and quite alone. The hope I had felt on Friday was now completely gone.
Just before dinner, Dad walked into my room. “Come with me,” he said, his voice gentle. I followed him to the living room, confused. Then I stopped, surprised. On the big table lay pieces of colorful cloth. I saw the blue pattern from my old baby blanket, a soft red piece from Mom’s favorite worn-out shirt, and even some rough brown fabric from Grandpa’s gardening apron (围裙), each tied to our past memory.
“I’ve been saving these,” Dad said, a small smile on his face. Mom walked in and said, “Let’s get to work.” As I saw her holding a box of buttons and thread and a pair of scissors, my worry began to melt away, replaced with a heart full of joy. “Thank you,” I whispered. Dad and Mom patted my shoulders gently, then we worked together to turn the cloth into something meaningful.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Boys and girls,
I’m greatly honoured to deliver the speech.
Nowadays pollution and resource shortage are becoming serious problems, so it’s urgent for us to live a green low-carbon life. We can start with small daily acts. First, sort rubbish strictly to recycle waste materials. Besides, choose walking or cycling instead of driving private cars to cut carbon emissions. We should also save water and electricity at home and school. Small efforts from everyone will make a big difference to our planet.
That’s all.Thank you.

For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. Mom helped me cut cloth into various lovely shapes, while Dad sorted out colorful buttons and thin thread. I shared warm stories behind each piece of cloth, and they listened patiently. We chatted happily as we stuck cloth onto the board. Bit by bit, a vivid collage full of family memories took shape. All my anxiety faded away, replaced by warmth and happiness. I realized my parents cared about my project deeply all along.
On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. My classmates gathered around to admire my special collage full of family stories. My teacher praised my creative and meaningful work highly and showed it to the whole class. Standing there, I felt extremely proud. I learned that parents’ love is often hidden in silent preparations, and sharing precious memories together creates the most beautiful art.
