Raymond Wang, 17, of Canada was awarded first place for a device that improves air quality on airplanes while cutting down the spreading of diseases at this year’s Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

According to Intel, Wang's system improves the quality of fresh air in a plane cabin by more than 190 per cent, while cutting diseases by up to 55 times, compared to conventional designs. Intel noted that Wang's invention could be easily and economically fixed into existing airplanes.

Two other teen researchers earned awards of $50,000 each at the event. One developed a technique to more quickly diagnose diseases caused by HIV. It’s the virus responsible for AIDS. The other invented a device to more quickly shut down undersea oil spills.

“Intel believes young people are the key to future innovation and that in order to confront the global challenges of tomorrow, we need students from all backgrounds to get involved in science, technology and engineering,” says Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation. “We hope these winners will inspire other young people to pursue their interest in these fields,” she says, “and apply their curiosity and creativity to the common good.”

This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair featured approximately 1,700 young scientists selected from more than 75 countries and regions. In addition to the top winners, 600 finalists received awards and prizes for their innovative research.

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair honours the world’s most promising student scientists, inventors and engineers. Their projects are then evaluated online by nearly 1,000 judges from almost every scientific field.

The 2015 Intel ISEF is funded jointly by Intel and the Intel Foundation with additional awards and support from dozens of other academic, governmental and scientific organizations. This year, US$4 million was awarded.

1.Compared to traditional designs, Raymond Wang’s system _________.

A. prevents oceans from oil pollution quickly

After a friend recommended that he join a secret Google project six years ago, Brian Torcellini became a driver in a driverless car.

Torcellini，31, leads a crew of test drivers who are legally required to ride in Google’s fleet of 48 driverless cars . They only take a control in emergencies. Otherwise, they make observations that help the company’s engineers improve the driverless cars.

The driverless cars already have covered more than 2 million miles in six years of testing on private tracks, on highways and city streets. The vehicles have traveled more than half that distance in automated mode (自動(dòng)模式)，with one test driver in place to take control of the car if the technology fails or a potentially dangerous situation arises. Meanwhile, another driver sits in the front passenger seat taking notes of the problems that need to be fixed.

The job of the test driver requires a sense of adventure, something Torcellini acquired when he began to surf in high school. His other hobbies include fishing and scuba diving.

While the engineers who are programming the robot cars have technical backgrounds, most of the test drivers don’t. Torcellini worked in a book store. He dreamed of becoming a writer. He ended up at Google in 2009. Espinosa, 27, was working in a bicycle shop before he was hired as a test driver two years ago . Stephanie Villegas, 28, was a swim instructor, before becoming a test driver. Other test drivers were former soldiers and former photographers. They all share at least one thing in common: spotless driving records. Besides this, the job also requires a combination of good judgment, patience and fearlessness.

Before they are entrusted (托付) with the cars，Google’s test drivers must complete three-week training courses. The drivers are taught to take control of the robot car whenever there is any moment of doubt or danger.

Google employs “dozens” of test drivers but won't reveal the precise number . California law requires two test drivers per vehicle.

1.What do you know about Brian Torcellini ?

A. He is in charge of a crew of test drivers.

B. He used to be a swim instructor.

C. He led a secret Google project.

D. He has technical backgrounds.

2.The driver sitting in the front passenger seat is responsible for .

A. fixing the car problems

B. driving in emergencies

C. recording the car problems

D. monitoring the car driver

3.We can infer that .

A. Stephanie Villegas is interested in scuba diving

B. Brian Torecellini is very fond of literature

C. Espinosa is an excellent cyclist in California

D. driverless cars are very popular in California

4.The underlined word “this” refers to .

A. having good judgments

B. having clean driving records

C. breaking the traffic rules

D. having technical backgrounds

       If we can allow our children to be （53）themselves without prejudice，they'll build friendships with people，regardless of race or religion，who will be （54）by their side through thick and thin．On such friendships are societies built and （55）then we can truly be，as William Shakespeare once wrote，"We happy few．We band of brothers"．
