On May 2, Gadgil became the recipient of the $100, 000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Global Innovation. Each year, the honor is given to an inventor who has improved the lives of people in developing countries. Gadgils inventions have helped more than 100 million people around the world. Gadgil is a professor and physicist at the University of California. When hes not teaching, he works to find solutions to global problems such as energy efficiency and water safety. “I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge of science could help, ”he said. Gadgils global quest to help people began in the 1980s. It all started when he came up with a program to make energy-efficient light bulbs more affordable for people in developing countries. Then in the 1990s, Gadgil designed his first life-saving invention, UV Waterworks. The device uses ultraviolet light to kill deadly disease-carrying germs from drinking water. Gadgil was inspired to find an inexpensive solution to the clean water crisis after more than 10, 000 people in his home country of India died from an outbreak of Bengal cholera, in 1993. The infection is spread through contaminated food and drinking water. So far, the invention has provided safe drinking water to more than five million people in poor areas. Many refugees are given food aid. But they still have to cook the meals. In order to do so, refugee women leave the safety of the camps three to five times a week to gather firewood. Cooking over an open flame can be hazardous to ones health and to the environment, too, because of the amount of smoke it causes. Gadgil worked with the refugee women on designing a clean, fuel-efficient stove. The invention also helps to save homes more than $300 a year. As a professor, Gadgil encourages his students to stay positive about finding solutions to hard problems. “Be optimistic when you try a hard problem, ”he says. “Its when you solve a large problem that you can have a big impact on the world. ”36. Gadgil was given an award because. A. he saved many lives in the worldB. he found solutions to global problemsC. his inventions helped people around the worldD. his inventions helped people in developing countries37.

BA middle school student who jumped into the hot seat when his school bus driver passed out on the way to class this morning is being praised as a “quick thinker” for leading the bus, and 15 other students, to safety. Seventh grader Jeremy Wuitschick is being praised by the local police chief for his actions. Wuitschick hopped out of his seat and grasped the steering wheel(方向盘), pulling the bus over to the side of the road before pulling the keys from the ignition(点火开关). “Ill give the kid credit for fast thinking. He did the right thing and were going to do something for him. The kid definitely deserves credit, ”Milton Police Chief Bill Rhodes told ABC News. Police officers were informed of a school bus driving irregularly through town around 8 a. m. today, but by the time an officer arrived at the scene, Wuitschick had it under control. He had pulled the bus over in front of Discovery Primary School, which is near to the school that the students were heading to, Surprise Lake Middle School. “I knew something was wrong, ”Wuitschick told ABC. “It was pretty scary. I was just acting on instinct(本能). It was all happening really quickly. ”Jeff Short, assistant dean for the Fife school district, said the students had been trained in emergency situations on the school bus, including how to shut down the bus in an emergency. A staff member at the school, John McCrossin, happened to be driving behind the bus when the driver lost perception, and rushed onto the bus to administer CPR(心肺复苏)once Wuitschick had pulled over to the side of the road, Rhodes said. The kids told McCrossin they had already called 911. The bus driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to the hospital.

Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach. More than 175, 000 students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes. Luke Rosa, an education expert, says, “The worlds changing consistently. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening. Besides, digital books also cost less than printed textbooks. ”Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a printed textbook. He likes the way it has materials for students with different levels of reading skills. So what do students think? Melanie: “I dont have to carry a textbook around, so thats nice. ”Maria: “I dont like it because the Internet sometimes doesnt work. ”Brian: “You can highlight your work. You can leave notes on your work and itll all be saved onto your account. Its a lot better than a regular textbook. ”But the students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He says his family has to share a single computer at home. “All of my family works on a computer, my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. Its good, ”he said. 44.

The majority of the students are against them. D. Online textbooks make it easier to pass examinations. DConnie Lau hates smoking. “It smells awful, and its so bad for you, ”she tells Choices. “It breaks my heart to see my friends smoking. I try to get them to quit. ”So why does Connie walk into convenience stores and try to buy cigarettes? She is testing to see if stores will sell cigarettes to a minora kid who is younger than 18. “You have to be 18 to purchase cigarettes, and Im 16, so if they sell to me, theyre breaking the law, ”Connie says. Connie isnt a vigilante(治安会会员). She works with local police in her town of Castro Valley, California. Officers drive her to stores, and she goes in alone to try to buy cigarettes. If the person behind the counter sells her a pack, an officer comes in and writes the business a ticket for breaking the law. Most stores obey the law and dont sell her cigarettes. The law requires that customers show ID if store employees ask them to. “When they ask your age, you cant lie, ”Connie says. “Most stores dont sell to me. In a year, weve visited almost 150 stores and had only 15 sales. ”Working undercover can be scary, even with police nearby. Connie said one cashier refused to sell her cigarettes and then got angry when he found out her age. He threatened to call the authorities. “To calm him down, the police went in to explain that I was undercover, ”she says. Most teens wouldnt think of going undercover for the police. Whats Connies motivation?
