                                        B

                         

            An 18-year-old who just finished high school has developed a revolutionary device(装置) which allows visually impaired or blind people to be more mobile — after coming up with the idea when he was 12.

           “To be considered is a real honor. It means the work we’re doing is really valuable,”Alex Deans said.

            The teen,from Ontario in Canada,began creating the tool after becoming curious while helping a visually impaired lady cross the street one day.

           “She told me that all existing devices only let users see in one direction so they can't know whats going on around them,w he toki GOOD magazine,after seeing she only had a stick and guide dog — two things that are hard to come by.

            The device,known as iAid,uses GPS (Global Positioning System) and ultrasonic(超声波的) technology to help visually impaired people get around safely.

            The belt-like tool comes with a control handle and works by using sound waves to discover objects in the users’ path and show how close things are to them. The iAid works much like a bat uses sonar(声呐) .

             The teen's invention has been attracting attention and it won the 2015 Weston Youth Innovation Award in May for which Alex was awarded $2,000 at a ceremony at the Ontario Science Centre last month.

            “The entire group of judges was impressed by Alexs creativity,motivation and dedication (奉献) to building his design over a four-year period. We look forward to seeing future inventions from this outstanding young inventor,said Hooley McLaughlin,chief science officer at the Ontario Science Centre.

             Alex is now working closely with the team at the science centre to hold an exhibition for his invention. He was also given the opportunity to give a presentation at We Day 一 stadium-sized events where speakers lecture about global issues across the US,Canada,and the UK.

             Alex will be starting at Montreal's McGill University in the autumn,but hopes the iAid will be approved for US and Canadian rights so that,one day,the device will be available for those who really need it across the world.

6. What purpose does Alex’s  invention serve?

                         Child development 

           People live much longer than most other animals,so human childhood also lasts a long time. Unlike baby animals,human children need many years to learn how to live on their own as adults. As children's  bodies grow,so do their minds. 36 

           There are several stages of child development.Infancy(婴儿期) is the most hdpless stage. Over their first year infants gradually learn to roll over,sit up,crawl and take their first steps with someone helping them. As they grow out of infancy,babies begin to make sounds similar to words.

            The toddler stage(学步期) begins when a baby starts to walk,usually at about the age of 1. Most children also start saying words at about this time. As toddlers grow they become stronger and have more control of their bodies. Their thinking skills also improve. 37 They like to copy what other people say and do.

            Between the ages of 3 and 5,children are in the preschool stage. Children learn many important skills during this stage. They learn to share and to take turns. 38 Playing with others helps them learn how to get along with all kinds of people.

            Starting school marks a new stage. Childrens minds develop quickly as they learn reading and writing. They also learn more about cooperating with others.

Between 9 and 12 years old,children/ are preteens. 39 They become better at controlling their behavior. Preteens also understand how to be helpful to others.

            40 As preteens become teenagers,they move one step closer to becoming adults and living on their own.

   A. This growth is called child development.

   B. As their bodies grow stronger,they try sports.

   C. They learn how to play simple games with rules.

   D. During this stage they become much more independent.

   E. The end of the preteen years marks the end of childhood.

   F. They slowly start putting words together to make sentences.

   G. Preteens also become more aware of the world beyond their home.
