Using Lego pieces, he created a cheap Braille printer fbr his schooPs science fair.Now what started as a
19、 science fair project has transformed into a family-run startup: Braigo Labs, with mom Malini Baneijee the CEO, and dad Neil Banerjee on the board of directors.

As animals are killed by hunters or forced away by logging, the plants that depend on them to carry their seeds begin to disappear. Over
29、time, trees and other plants may vanish. Climate change is accelerating this process, a new study suggestsand it may eventually harm biodiversity.Many plants need help to move about the world. About half of all species rely on birds and mammals to eat or carry their fruits and nuts to new places. Wh
30、en these partners disappear, forests and plant communities can struggle to regenerate.Climate change is making things worse. As temperatures warm and rainfall decreases, plant populations will have to extend their ranges by as much as tens of kilometers per year.Ecologist Evan Fricke, wanted to know
31、 how well plants all across the planet might be able to move to new habitats. He and his colleagues gathered existing data from thousands of studies that looked at how birds and mammals spread seeds, including how far they travel and what percentage of the seeds actually get to grow. They focused on
32、 seeds that are dispersed more than 1 kilometer, a distance that is great enough to expand populations and help them recover from disturbances.The average ability of plants to keep pace with climate change has already declined by 60%, the research found. That should certainly be ringing alarm bells,
33、“ says Fricke, Were fbrcing, plants to move these great distances, but weve also significantly slowed their ability to do so.”The loss of the ability is greater in temperate （温带）regions according to the research. Thats because these areas have lost many populations and species of large fruit-eating
34、mammals, which can move seeds longer distances. Also, the challenge for plants is greater there, because when climate conditions change in relatively flat landscapes, species must move farther north to keep cool. In contrast, an alpine plant （高山植物）only has to move uphill to get to a cooler climate.T
35、he situation could get worse. In another analysis, the researchers predicted what might happen if currently threatened and endangered seed-dispersing birds and mammals go extinct. This would reduce a plants ability to keep up with climate change by another 15%.However, some of the damage can be repa
36、ired by connecting isolated habitats. That will better allow species to move in response to climate change. Reintroducing large animals to their former ranges could also help, because they can move seeds long distances.“This is a very loud wake up call for urgent conservation effbrts of fruit-eating
37、 and seed-dispersing animals, says ecologist Rodolfo Dirzo. Whats important, he says, is not just preventing extinction, but keeping populations big enough to help many plants reproduce.28. Which of the following is a threat to Earths forests?A. Warming climate.B. Loss ofbiodiversity.C. Migration of
38、 animals.D. Disappearance of seeds.29. What does the underlined word “dispersed“ in Paragraph 4 mean?A. reapedB. spreadC. plantedD. sowed30. The reason for some plants becoming less able to adapt to climate change is that.A. they lack proper means of spreading the seedsB. the average temperatures ha
39、ve dropped by 60%C. plants in temperate areas are logged to extinctionD. its difficult fbr plants to move in rugged landscapes31. According to Dirzo, what should be prioritized to repair the damage done to the plants?A. Moving seeds over long distances systematically.B. Introducing foreign fruit-eat
40、ing animals into the habitat.C. Save the threatened and endangered species from dying out.D. Taking actions to keep the population of seed-dispersing animals.DWhat do Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad, Sir Richard Branson, Billionaire investor Charles Schwab, Walt Disney, and Henry Ford have in common?

41、l are or were successful entrepreneurs with dyslexia - a learning disorder that makes it very difficult to read, write, and spell. People with dyslexia have trouble connecting the letters they see to the sounds they make and as a result, often struggle in school.But in the real world, they make grea
42、t achievements. Theyre behind some of the most successful companies on Earth.Richard Branson is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time. He created numerous businesses under the Virgin umbrella and has a net worth of $5 billion. Branson once admitted that Virgin which now employs 90,000 people
43、 would not have been successful had he not been dyslexic. Branson had a hard time keeping up with his peers because ofhis dyslexia and dropped out at the age of 16. Yet he transformed his weakness into an advantage. He understood the importance of communicating well. And his dyslexia also forced him
44、 to delegate tasks to those who excelled in the areas where he was weak.Research has found people with dyslexia are more likely to delegate authority and also twice as likely to own two or more businesses. A study out of Cass Business School in London found more than a third of American entrepreneur
45、s surveyed showed signs of dyslexia. Another commissioned by the BBC found 40% of that countrys self-made millionaires showed some signs of the learning disability. Thafs significantly higher than the estimated 5% to 10% of the general population with some degree of dyslexia.The question is: Are the
46、ir entrepreneurial strengths a result of nature or nurture? A dyslexia expert believes they are naturally better at certain things, like picking up social cues. In an article in The Sacramento Bee about California governor Gavin Newsom who has dyslexia, Dr. Marilu Gomo-Tempini of UC San Francisco sa
47、id, “He can understand what people need and their emotions more than others. I dont think thats a compensation. I think thats the superpower ofhis dyslexic brain. She and other scientists at UC San Francisco recently discovered children with the disorder had greater changes in heart rate and facial
48、behavior when they viewed video clips of others experiencing emotions compared to children without dyslexia.Eleanor Palser, one of the researchers who conducted the study, concluded to Newsthink, This tells us that dyslexia might be associated with biological differences in empathy（移情）.”32. Why are some famous people mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To demonstrate their problems.B. To advertise their products.C. To show their achievements.D. T
