Citizen science is when public volunteers take part in scientific projects by collecting information or monitoring (监测) possible problems and then report their findings back to research groups． This method is meaningful because it allows scientists to get lots of information and better understand animals, nature and more．

As a teenager student, you can join in different kinds of such projects． Below are some great ideas you can consider．

Watch frogs (青蛙)

Join Frog Watch to help monitor wetland frog populations． Your efforts will help scientists check populations and detect any rare or alien kinds early． Learn more at frogwatch．next．fieldscope．org．

Watch stars

The online Galaxy Zoo project lets you look at space photos and put them into different groups by shape so that scientists can learn more about what is in outer space—and you don’t even need a telescope (望远镜)! Visit galaxyzoo．org to find out more．

Count birds

Join the Summer Bird Count from July 20 to August 10． Many citizen scientists will get together and count all the birds they see to help scientists learn more about how birds travel． Visit summerbirdcount．org to get more information．

Take water samples (样本)

Visit monitorwater．org to order a lesson that will teach you how to test water for pH, temperature and freshness． Enter your results on their website to help scientists better understand the state of the world’s water．

23．Why do you join a citizen science project?

A．To make money．                                     B．To become a scientist．

C．To help with science research．                   D．To train others on scientific knowledge．

24．What should you pay attention to when you watch stars?

A．Size．                   B．Shape．                 C．Number．              D．Quality．

It was difficult not to see the 8-year-old boy run in and out of his house repeatedly． His repeated actions caused the curiosity of his neighbor, William Dunn．

“He said he didn’t have a father,” says Dunn, now aged 58．” And I realized that there might be something I could do to help him．”

That “something” was fishing, a hobby that Dunn’s father had once shared with him． He did it at once． After fishing together several times, Dunn saw encouraging changes in the boy’s behavior．

That was 16 years ago． Since then, Dunn has taken groups of fatherless kids fishing almost every weekend, teaching them how to set up a fishing line and bring in a big catch．

“They’ve been through a lot, and their lives have been challenging,” Dunn explains． “But when they’re fishing, all those pains disappear． On the boat, they laugh, smile, and make new friends． I knew I was onto something special．”

Jayden, now 23, has become a fisherman and thanks Dunn for helping him grow up． He proudly mentions catching a shark with Dunn’s help, “I hope he knows that I mean it when I say thank you．”

Another girl, 21-year-old Bella Smith, who is in a foster (抚养) program for young adults, notes that Dunn pays special attention to self-respect and spiritual strength． “When I’m fishing, I can forget about the past and enjoy something fun,” says Bella Smith． “Fishing has taught me that I can have a better life than what I had． Whenever I feel down, I know it’s time to go fishing．”

“There’s nothing like feeling the first pull on the line and seeing a kid’s face light up with a smile,” Dunn adds． “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend．”

26．What do we know about the 8-year-old boy?

A．He didn’t like fishing．

B．His father was a fisherman．

C．He was the first child Dunn taught to fish to help．

D．His repeated actions were to catch his father’s attention．

27．Why did Dunn take children fishing almost every weekend?

A．His father told him to do so．

B．He wanted to help them live on fishing．

C．Their fathers didn’t want them to learn fishing．

D．He believed fishing could help them in some way．

28．What does Bella Smith think Dunn gives importance to?

A．Personality development．                         B．Fishing skills．

C．Unhappy experiences．                              D．Wealthy life．

29．Which of the following can best describe Dunn?

A．Hard-working．     B．Caring．                C．Romantic．            D．Strict．

C

For those whose hearts often go off beat, pacemakers (心脏起搏器) are life savers． By providing a small electrical support at the right moment, they can keep a heart working properly．

Their main problem is that they use batteries． Even the best of them will run out of energy, and changing the batteries requires operations． Since operations are usually best avoided, the search has been on for long-lasting batteries． Different choices have been explored for a long time． Today, pacemakers with lithium (锂) batteries last between 5 and 15 years．

Zhang Hao, from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and Yang Bin, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, tried a way to refill a pacemaker’s battery with electricity (电) by getting energy from inside the body． They report in the magazine ACS Nano that they have also used the heart muscle (肌肉) itself to work． Earlier efforts by other scientists to use heart muscle power to run pacemakers depend on piezoelectric materials (压电材料)． These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed (弯曲)． This has worked, but not well enough: the output has rarely been over 5 microwatts (微瓦), while most pacemakers require at least ten．

Dr Zhang and Dr Yang believed that they could improve matters by making their piezoelectric materials more dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced． They put their idea to the test in a 50kg pig． It made enough electricity for the pacemaker to work as expected．

Whether such an idea will pass human tests remains to be seen． But if it does, the days of pacemakers that need battery changes through operations may not last long．

30．According to the first two paragraphs, what is a problem with pacemakers?

A．They often go off beat．

B．Their energy can be used up．

C．Operations often influence them．

D．They sometimes do harm to hearts．

31．From this passage, what do we know about piezoelectric materials?

A．They can be used to produce electricity．

B．They can deform the heart to make it beat faster．

C．They were first used by Zhang Hao and Yang Bin．

D．They were proved to produce 15 microwatts in human tests．

32．What does the word “dramatically” in the 4th paragraph most probably mean?

A．Comfortably．       B．Safely．                C．Greatly．               D．Rapidly．

33．What is the best title for this article?

A．No Need to Use Pacemakers

B．The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials

C．The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations

D．Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers
