    I stood on my grandmother's front porch with my son. He had a bottle of bubbles. You know the __: it’s basically soapy water with a plastic loop on each end. You dip the loop in the bottle, pull it out, and blow it to make bubbles. My son understood the principle but was __ trying to blow bubbles. He __ dip and dip and blow and blow, but alas, no bubbles. He __ me the bottle and loop and asked me, “Daddy, can you make bubbles?”

I hadn’t blown bubbles in years. I am a __ by education, fairly well-trained in surfactant(活性剂) technology. I have __ several shampoos, so I understand surface tension and related foaming(发泡沫)characteristics of surfactants. All that knowledge is __ useless when trying to blow bubbles from a loop __ with soapy water. I was having no __ success than my son. I dipped and puffed, still no bubbles; the soapy film on the loop would just pop without __ any bubbles.

After several fruitless __,1 changed strategies. __ puffing on the loop of soapy water, I gently __ on it. My son screamed with delight as a big beautiful bubble formed and __ away. He grabbed the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I __ to him, “Son, you can’t blow hard.

    When athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics collect their medals, they'll not only be wearing something that celebrates their sporting performance, but something that symbolizes lastingness. For both the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, organizers aim to make all of the gold, silver, and bronze medals out of used electronics. This strong message about how to make use of e-waste has gotten a lot of Japan involved.

Starting in April 2017, the Japanese Olympic Committee began collecting old laptops, digital cameras, smartphones, and other abandoned electronics. The initiative(倡议）has achieved great success. Already, the quantity needed for bronze medals has been met, and they're in the homestretch for silver and gold medals, meaning the collection process can pack up at the end of March.

When looking just at the number of cell phones collected, the amount of waste is shocking. In a period of about 18 months, a little over 5 million smartphones were collected thanks to cooperation with NTT DOCOMO. Japan's largest mobile phone operator allowed the public to turn in phones at their shops, which counted a lot in the project’s success.

After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics underwent a smelting process to extract(提炼）all the gold, silver，and  bronze elements. Thanks to this initiative, the worldwide struggle with e-waste will have a global platform. According to a study published by the United Nations University—44.7 million metric tons of e-waste were made in 2016. Only 20% of that was actually recycled. Unfortunately, this figure is set to rise significantly in the coming years, moving to 52.2 million metric tons by 2021. So while the Tokyo Olympics initiative might be just a drop in the bucket, it’s a good start in showing what the public can do if they're made more aware of the issue.

1.What can be learnt about Tokyo Olympics initiative from the passage?

A. E-waste in the world is increasing significantly.

B. It is easy to get elements needed from the used electronics.

B. It shows the power of advanced technology in daily life.

C. It saves the expense spent in making all the medals.

4.What is the writer’s attitude to the Tokyo Olympics initiative?

A. Positive B. Negative

    As a young child, Ann Makosinski would spend hours experimenting with her toys and other everyday objects ar ound her to create her own inventions.

Now a first-year Arts student, Makosinski is a well-known inventor. She won the recent Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, which recognizes creative business solutions to social problems--the same recognition was given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her two inventions—the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink—have been causing excitement internationally since their creation.

When Makosinski was 15 years old, she created a flashlight powered by the heat of one's hand. This invention was the result of a 9th grade science project, but her goal was to offer a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity. “One of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school because she had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration.” Makosinski explained.

At 12th grade, Makosinski then went on to create the e-Drink. It is a coffee cup that harvests the extra heat of a hot drink while it cools, stores it as electricity in an internal(内置的)battery and makes it available to charge an external device such as a phone, whose life can now be longer by approximately 10 to 30 minutes.

“My favorite part of creating inventions would be when you had the idea and you have to physically build it，and it doesn't work out,” she said. “So you have to figure out different ways to solve it. A lot of times, I'll give up and I’ll come back after a couple of days and I'll take it up again.”

Her advice to other student innovators? “Start now. There’s nothing holding you back. Actually, you can do whatever you want.” Makosinski said，“If you want to make something，follow your heart, then go ahead. If there's something you really want to do, you will make time for it and you will find time in the day to do your  schoolwork.”

A. satisfy her desire to create inventions

2.Which of the following is mainly explained in paragraph 4?
