A simple wooden box attached to 8-year-old Alex Benitez-Alvarezs walker (助行架) made it easier for the boy to carry school s
31、upplies and allowed him to do more things on his own. “Now if he wants to go to the library and get a book out, he can,” said Tommy Johnson, one of three high school students who helped Benitez-Alvarez. Their idea came from an engineering project that pairs young engineers with people from local spe
32、cial education programs. Engineering teams from Shakopee East and West junior high schools designed models of several devices to make their disabled (残疾的) partners lives easier. Some of the simplest ideas were the most useful, such as an adjustable (可调节的) chair to help a child put his or her shoes o
33、n. They also came up with special building blocks that can help blind babies learn by touch. In an education system driven by exams, engineering teacher TJ Hendrickson said the project gave students the chance to create something they could actually see for themselves. “Students stopped worrying abo
34、ut their grades and started worrying about failing their clients (客户),” said Hendrickson, a teacher at Shakopee West Junior High. Group projects encourage teamwork and motivate (激发) students differently from independent projects. In this case, the project also taught a much-needed lesson in developi
35、ng people skills. “The first time they met their partners it was very difficult,” said Jake Toufar, an engineering teacher at Shakopee East Junior High. “But eventually they learned to kneel (跪下) down and get at their eye level.” The meetings also helped engineers add special touches to their finish
36、ed products. Benitez-Alvarez, who loves soccer, got the Minnesota United logo and a soccer ball printed on his wooden storage box. The project encouraged special needs students to describe their physical disabilities while also teaching engineers about the struggles of living with a disability. “Eve
37、ryone in the world should do this,” said Stephanie Betley, a teacher at Shakopee who hopes to see the project spread to other schools. “Its for someone else rather than yourself.”54.

To improve the life of disabled kids with the help of the young engineers.55. How did the project influence the engineers, in Hendricksons opinion?A. It improved thei
39、r communication skills.C. It took them more time than their exams. B. It helped them pass their exams more easily.D. It helped them put their knowledge into use.56. What did Betley think of the engineering project?A. It did a lot of good to people in need of help.B. It made more students interested
40、in engineering.C. It reminded people to care more about themselves.D. It helped the disabled earn respect from others.C One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets past houses, shops and offices until it found some food in bins (垃圾桶) ou
41、tside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police.

43、 they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors (监督员) working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside. In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants
44、from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not and want the government and police to stop them. In Moscow there are 35,000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Man
45、y people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is -10 C and there is a lot of snow and ice.
