FLC was founded in 1997 in FranceBAlice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions
15、of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids teeth，instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of m
16、issing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, Why cant I make a healthy candy thats good for my teeth so that my parents cant say no to it? With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists
17、 about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dads permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a
18、 kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moores product-Cancandy.As Cancandys su
19、ccess grows, so does Moores credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and shes also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.Meanwhile, with her parents help, Moore is generally able to
20、 live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasnt driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.

24、act washed ashore in Eastern Indonesia this week. A large amount of waste, including drinking cups and flip-flops, was found in the stomach of a whale that died off the coast near Kapota Island.The 9.5-metre sperm whale (抹香鲸) was found by rescuers from the Wakatobi National Park. The whale had swall
25、owed 5.9 kilograms of plastic waste containing 115 plastic cups, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags, and more than 1,000 other kinds of pieces of plastic, park chief HeriSantoso told the reporter.“Although we have not been able to deduce the cause of death, the facts that we see are truly awful,”
26、 said DwiSuprapti, a marine species conservation co-ordinator at WWF Indonesia. She said it was not possible to determine if the plastic had caused the whales death because of the animals advanced state of decay (腐烂). But this is only the latest.Four Asian nationsIndonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam
27、and Thailandaccount for 50% of the plastic waste in the oceans, according to a report by environmental campaigner Ocean Conservancy and the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment. The Philippines is second to Indonesia when it comes to putting away plastic waste in the oceans, according to a s

A sperm whale was found dead near Kapota Island.C. Much dumped plastic waste was found in a dead whale.
31、D. We should take measures to reduce the waste in whales.DRobotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver d
32、rugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.However, unlike the plot of one filmwhich featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientists bloodstreamthis device could not be inserted into blood vessels(管) because
33、it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Te
34、chnology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.To test their latest version, DrRus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3，500 people in America alone,
35、 most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus(食道) and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the ro
36、bot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine(肠) , and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic
37、 field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent
38、 in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging sy
39、stem, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but DrRus and DrMiyashita are determined to succeed.22. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to _A. travel through a scientists bloodstreamB. photograph the body to convey to the doctorC. enter the body to deliver drugs or
40、 make repairsD. operate on a person outside the body completely23. We learn from Paragraph 3 that _A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB. the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnetC. digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for childrenD. the actual size of the
41、robot may be larger than the capsule of ice24. What may the experiment mean to the medical world?A. The surgeries will cost patients much money.B. Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.C. Fewer children will swallow the button cells.D. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.25. Whi
