A 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives Will Broadway?s “Isobar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature across the world.
while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesn?t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won?t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will?s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to “design something that solves a problem”.
Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before
reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.
Will?s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ” he says, “It?s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”
The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren?t good enough for a long time,” he says.
There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on
a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function(功能) of his invention..
26. What?s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries?
A. It can save more energy.
B. It can send more vaccines at a time. C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition. D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.
A. old scientists who have developed modern technology. B. young men who have solved problems with their designs C. doctors who have saved people?s lives in developing countries D. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions 28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The production of a new fridge and its future. B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor. C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem. D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.

I was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.
And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.
Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.
Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won?t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No. Be
stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.
You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven?t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don?t want the pain cycle to continue and I don?t want to become someone I don?t want to be.
I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). You don?t have to wait to live. Do something today.
