21、obar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesnt plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he wont be trying to get a patent(专利). Wills Isobar has

22、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

23、.Wills 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, “Its

24、 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 g

25、et trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really arent 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.

The introduction of an award and its new winner. CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he

29、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

30、 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

31、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

32、 you is because they think you wont 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

33、 I am nice and I havent 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 dont want the pain cycle to continue and I dont want to become someone I dont want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just survi

34、ving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lieit is all a lie). You dont have to wait to live. Do something today.29.

37、walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the

38、dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person

39、 who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons

40、 for anothers behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you cant get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really dont know the reasons for someones beh

41、avior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that its usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎).

45、ide themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word sorryeven when they dont really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is? If theyre five minutes late for an

46、 appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by saying Sorry Im late!They use the word sorry in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of sorry are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of thei

47、r problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because youve done something wrong. Now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with Sorry to bother you. In this situation, they arent saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regre

48、t.So what does sorry really mean? And why do British people use it so much? Well, in the British culture, saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who they dont know very well. Its also a very clever way to get what they want. In a recent experiment, an actor went up to a different s

49、trangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones in order to make a call. When he went up to one group of strangers and asked them without saying sorry first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones.
