Lily,17 and Evie,15，love cooking and regularly practice their skills.“Both of us obviously
love cooking and are very passionate about the state of our city in which we want to make a change
for the better，” Evie told Yahoo Life.
Though the teens are too young to become politicians，they often used their baking skills to
help with campaigns that try to make their city better.In their spare time，they baked cupcakes and
then sold them to raise money.According to Yahoo Life，they raised a total of 30,000 dollars(about
191,000 yuan) in their first fundraiser.
“Once you get a taste for making a difference in the world，you can’t stop，”Lily added.
After this success ，the sisters continued helping others.New American Pathways is an
Atlanta-based nonprofit organization that helps refugees(难民)．Though the organization has tried
its best to support newly-arrived refugees，it’s unable to do everything for them.Many young
Afghan refugees don’t have backpacks and other school supplies.
As teen students，the sisters understood how important school supplies are.So they decided to
give a hand to these young refugees.At the suggestion of the organization，they started a bake sale
to raise funds.Whenever they had the time，they would bake desserts by themselves or called for
families and neighbors to join in with them.
With their great work，they ended up getting 240 filled backpacks.
“Knowing that each backpack would be held by a kid that might not have had a backpack at
all felt really good，and I was excited to know that we could fuel their love of learning，”Evie
told the website Inspiration Post.
They also hope to inspire others to make a difference no matter how small it is.“No matter
how small you might feel your voice is，”Lily told Daily Viral News，“just know that you
can make a difference in your community.You just have to go for it.”

Every time mask wearers cough，or make certain facial expressions，their face covering
shifts—and a busy worker may not have time to recheck mask fit each time one of these
movements occurs.“This can cause anxiety，” says Josiah Hester，developer of FaceBit—a
device that tracks a face covering’s fit and wear time，as well as its wearer’s vital signs.His
colleagues who work in clinical settings have been communicating their concerns to him ，
saying，“Give me something that can watch me because I don’t have the time to take care of
myself as I’m going about my clinical duties，taking care of this influx(涌入) of patients.” And
that’s where it started，Hester explains.
Rather than developing an entire “smart mask”，which might be impractical to reuse，
Hester’s team created an electronic device，a little larger than a quarter，that attaches to a face
covering with a clip(夹子) and contains several sensors.A pressure sensor detects leaks，indicating
how well a mask is fitting.Pressure changes also let the FaceBit determine when the mask is over
someone’s face，so it can record wear time.The FaceBit additionally monitors heart rate and
measures breathing rate.A Bluetooth connection sends these data to a companion phone app.The
device is powered by a battery，charged with energy harvested from the mask’s motions as its
wearer moves and breathes.
A fit monitor could be very useful for health care workers wearing a mask all day，says Lisa
Brosseau，a research consultant.But she is not convinced that FaceBit can consistently measure
fit.“It has some promise，perhaps，but they have not validated it in a way that I would accept.”
Hester plans to continue testing and improving the project.His team will distribute some
FaceBits and let people use them，experiment and play with them.Other researchers will also be
able to improve the energy-harvesting components and extend the battery life.They could even add
new sensors that would open up more uses for such a device.
5．Where did Josiah Hester’s inspiration to develop FaceBit come from?A．One of his patients.
B．A research consultant.
C．His personal experience.
D．His co-workers’ request.
6．How can a mask wearer get information from FaceBit?
A．By checking the companion phone app.
B．By reading the measurer on it.
C．By communicating with a wearable recorder.
D．By viewing the watch attached to it.
7．What can we infer about Josiah Hester’s project?
A．It is of unlimited use.
B．It is well received.
C．It calls for cooperation.
D．It has gained profits.
8．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To share a clinical experiment.
B．To introduce an electronic device.
C．To recommend a smart face covering.
D．To analyze risks of not wearing masks.

A Spanish rice dish; secreto de cerdo with pisto—Ibérico Pork with tomatoes，onions，
eggplant，and peppers; and chicken and mushroom paella，will be served aboard the International
Space Station(ISS) throughout the next week.
That，at least，is what four of the eleven crew members aboard the ISS will be eating，after
a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off on April 8,2022 from Cape Canaveral，Florida，carrying the
Crew Dragon spacecraft.The flight，sponsored by the Houston-based company Axiom Space and
known as AX-1，is commanded by Axiom vice president and former astronaut Michael López-
Alegría.Also on board are three business owners and charitarians：American Larry Connor，
Canadian Mark Pathy，and Israeli Eytan Stibbe—each of whom paid an estimated $55 million per
seat for their 20-hour journey to the station and the eight days they will spend aboard.
Actually，they are not the first space tourists to the ISS—eleven in total over the past two
decades; and all of them were adventurers who paid to fly aboard crewed by professional
astronauts.AX-1 is the first fully private mission to the station—but not the last.
In a pre-launch press conference，Connor said，“We’ve spent anywhere from 750 to over
1,000 hours training.We’re going to do some 25 different experiments covering over 100 hours of
research.” One such experiment will involve a brain headset that will conduct real-time
electroencephalograms(EEGs) of the crew as they fly and experiments on in vitro stem cells.There will also be time for a moving remembrance.Stibbe，the second Israeli to fly in
space，once piloted military jets under the command of Ilan Ramon，the first Israeli astronaut，
who died in the 2003 disintegration of the space shuttle Columbia.Several pages from Ramon’s
diary survived the crash and Stibbe will carry them into the space.
Space is a hard business，a dangerous business，and an expensive business.But it’s also an
emotional one.“Ramon was a good friend ， ” Stibbe added respectfully.“He was my
commander.”
9．Why does the author show the dishes at the beginning?
A．To present the whole menu in the space mission.
B．To attract readers’ interest and introduce the topic.
C．To show the enjoyment of the crew members during the flight.
D．To highlight the wealth and social status of the crew members.
10．What’s the main purpose of the mission?
A．To maintain the ISS.
B．To provide space travel.
C．To help people settle in space.
D．To send Spanish food to space.
11. How does Connor think about the mission before he flies?
A．Fully-prepared and significant.
B．Expensive but worthwhile.
C．Difficult and dangerous.
D．Adventurous and challenging.
12. Why does Stibbe want to bring Ramon’s diary into the space?
A．Because he wants to continue writing the diary.
B．Because he can use Ramon’s diary as instructions.
C．Because he once piloted military jets under Ramon’s command.
D．Because he wants to show respect for Ramon in this way.
