10.The security industry exists to provide and ensure safety of the population.Teams of developers are constantly working on new devices to better protect not only the people but also their properties.Regular existing technologies such as GPS trackers are also being improved and used in innovative ways to prevent various criminal activities.Named after Natalia Estemirova,a human rights activist who was kidnapped from her home and murdered within 24 hours,the Natalia Project is a bracelet (手镯)handed out by the Civil Rights Defenders in hopes of preventing similar tragedies in the future.After all,a majority of human rights activists are situated in constant danger as they fight for freedom and equality.The chunky bracelet was able to produce satisfactory results.Once triggered(触发),the bracelets will issue a real-time GPS location of the victim to the Civil Rights Defenders'headquarters.Nearby contacts will also be alerted so immediate action can be taken to rescue the victim.What's most unique about this bracelet is that it will also send an alert to social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to notify the public of the attack being placed on the victim.
These bracelets will first be distributed to a small group as funding is still a problem.The first five bracelets were distributed by the human rights organization on Defender's Day in Stockholm,Sweden,on Apr.5,2013."We would like all human rights defenders at risk to have this alarm,but it costs a lot both for the alarm itself and to build an organization to respond to the alarms and to train the wearers of the alarm.Building a security program around each individual,matched to the specific needs of that person is a complex process.Needless to say,it takes a lot of time and effort to get an alarm up and running to ensure maximum protection for 365 days a year."
Though the Civil Rights Defenders is an independent non-governmental expert organization,they do receive the support for their hard work through the Swedish Development Cooperation Agency.The potential for this bracelet to prevent kidnapping of regular children and citizens,if made available to the public,will also be endless.

点评 1、要想做好科普英语阅读题,同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力.
2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点.科普类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.3、在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.
