When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes“finding solutions to real
problems”,it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.
In just three months,Rao came up with a device(装置)that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water.Inspired by the current litigation(诉讼) in Flint,Michigan,a case of water
pollution from 2014 to 2015,Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.
Rao had been following the water problem for about two years.She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do
something to change this.Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment.At home,Gitanjali
worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her.Rao has created a device that uses three parts:a cartridge,a Bluetooth reader and an app.To put it simply,the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes(纳米管) that react to lead.This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader,which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.
Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water,and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market.While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging
pipelines,lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development.With Rao believing that the“purpose of science is to make a difference”,her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍Gitanjali Rao,一个充满活力的11岁女孩是怎样解决一个多年来一直困扰着科学家的问题。Rao相信“科学的目的是为了改变现状”,她那令人难以置信的发明可能会对美国数百万人产生影响。

Noise-cancelling audio instruments have been around for a while now,but one Berlin-based designer believes that blocking “visual noise” is as important,if not more so,as cancelling out unwanted sounds.To this end he has created a simple accessory called the Focus Cap.
Open work spaces definitely have their benefits,but they come with the
drawback of offering employees little to no control over visual distractions(干扰).With
