In 1996, Joe Richman had been working as a radio reporter on US national radio for several years and was looking for a new idea for a radio programme. He met a teenager called John Cutler. John had Tourette's Syndrome—a brain illness. This meant that Josh did not always have control of his movements and speech.

John was just beginning high school when he agreed to work with Joy on a story about his illness. Joe wanted John to keep a radio diary of his daily life. He gave John a tape recorder and asked him to record what happened to him every day. John and Joe agreed that an important part of his story would be talking to his school friends about Tourette's Syndrome. John was embarrassed(尴尬) to record at school—his friends might laugh.

One day, John took the tape recorder to school, but he kept it inside his bag all day. He was too afraid to bring it out. After months of feeling afraid, he took the tape recorder out on lunch time. What happened next was a total surprise. John tells it best:“Everyone jumped at the chance. Everyone started asking me questions about that, I had never really talking about it to anyone—except my mom and dad. ”

That was an important day in John's life because he learned to be more open about his condition. Now John says he wants to do radio diaries until he's 80 years old. He learnt a lot about himself by doing the radio diary. It made a great radio programme, too. Being a reporter is like having a passport. You can ask questions, be curious and explore new worlds. Radio is the perfect way to be on the radio and everyone likes to listen!

How to Invent a Product

1.

It's unnecessary to think of something that no one has ever thought of before. Just ask yourself what exactly you are trying to improve or solve? If you want to build a better dust mop (拖把),how will it be better? What interesting or important part does it have? What could you do differently?

2.

Try coming up with 15 solutions in a minute, no matter how crazy. Or choose one of the solutions and ask how is that like my idea? "How and why does it work?" "When, where and how is it used?" "How is it described?" Let your questions and imagination come up with new ideas or find a different way of looking at a problem

3.

Visit stores that offer products similar to what yours will do and even go as far as to ask store workers for products they might sell with a similar purpose. If you have a name for your product created, search this to find out whether it is already being used.

4.

This is often the longest part of inventing! Thomas Edison's lab tested more than 6,000 different materials for light bulbs before they came up with one that worked. Make the model until it works the way you want. Sometimes you might discover an entirely different idea.

5.

When you think you've got everything ready, it's time to make a working model of your invention --- a prototype. This is what you'll use to show people what it will look like and how it will work. You can use this prototype to show and introduce to the people who might have interest.

A.Research your invention.

B.Brainstorm

C.Ask for advice.

D.Find a problem worth solving.

E.Make your invention to a reality.

F.Build, test, rebuild, repeat.

It’s no secret that reading is helpful. But can it help kids lose weight? In the first study to look at the influence of literature (文学) on overweight teenagers, researchers at Duke Children’s Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference.

The Duke researchers asked overweight girls aged 9 to 13 who were already in a weight loss program to read a novel called Lake Rescue. It was carefully created with the help of pediatric experts (儿科专家) to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models.

Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease (fall) in their BMI scores (-.71%) when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadn’t (+.05%), explained Alexandra C. Russell, a fourth-year medical student at Duke who led the study.

“As a pediatrician, I can’t count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful advice, yet I’ve never been able to point to research to back up my recommendations,” says Sarah Armstrong, director of Duke’s Healthy Lifestyles Program where the research took place. “This is the first probable interventional (介入的) study that found literature can have a positive influence on healthy lifestyle changes in young girls.”

Obesity is becoming more widespread in children, according to the CDC (Centres for Disease Control), which reports that 16 percent of children aged 6 to 19 are overweight or obese, a number that has increased since 1980. Researchers are looking at a lot of ways to help kids stay healthy, lose weight and be more active, but Armstrong says, “most don’t work very well. The weight loss choices that are effective typically involve taking powerful medications with side effects, or require long-lasting surgical procedures.”

While the BMI decrease due to the book is small, Armstrong says any decrease in BMI is encouraging because BMI typically increases in children as they grow and develop. That’s okay as long as it follows a normal, progressing curve. In overweight kids, however, BMI usually increases more quickly. “If their BMI percentile (百分位) goes down, it means they are either losing weight or getting tall and not gaining weight. Both are seen as positive signs in kids who are trying to lose weight,” she explains.

1.The underlined phrase “back up my recommendations” probably means“_________ ”.

A.influence my research B.change my opinion

C.respect my study D.support my advice

2.Which of the following statements about the research is TRUE?

A.The researchers interviewed the girls and studied information.

B.Pediatric experts offered specific guidance to the research.

C.16 percent of children aged from 9 to 13 were overweight.

D.The girls read a certain novel and gave their reports.

3.What’s the finding of the research?

A.That the girls all grew tall and lost weight after 6 months.

B.That the girls showed great interest in reading literature works.

C.That the girls who read Lake Rescue had a decrease in BMI.

D.That the girls needed to take powerful medications to lose weight.
