Maggie has won the Global Teacher Prize (全球教师大奖) this year. She lives and works in a small village in Canada. The only way to get to the village is taking a plane. The weather there is very cold. There’s snow everywhere. Only 1,300 people live there and they’re all benefiting from Maggie’s work.
Life is never easy in the village. Many teachers left because they couldn’t stand such an environment. Maggie has also met hundreds of problems ever since she came here. However, she never gives up. As a teacher, she not only teaches at school, but also cares for students after school.
In order to help her students, Maggie sets up a Life Skills program. Students could learn some basic (基本的) skills during the program.

Useful inventions
Inventions change how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Every year, TIME magazine lists (列出) the 100 best inventions based on their creativity (创造性) and impact (影响) on our lives. What did the magazine choose this year? Let’s take a look.
Easier to read
Reading can be a big challenge for tens of millions of people. They may have poor vision (视力) or reading difficulties. But OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button (点击按钮) it can read the text aloud to the user. You don’t need to connect (连接) it to the Internet. You can use it offline at home, work, school, or eve in stores when you need to read a price tag (标签).
Sweet idea
Honey is produced by bees. But today’s beekeeping business (养蜂业) is not good for these hard-working insects. Bee farmers may kill them after harvesting (收获) honey because it’s cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company MeliBio has found a way to make the world’s first bee-free honey. They used synthetic biology (合成生物学) to create honey directly from plants. This kind of honey tastes just like the real one, and it is healthy, too.
Keep you calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it? Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry (毛茸茸的), bear-like toy has 9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick “heartbeat (心跳)” and can respond to your touch.
As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it purrs (发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will become more aware of your own feelings and learn how to feel calm yourself.
36. How should people with reading difficulties use OrCam Read?
A. Use it to scan text they need to read. B. Use it to scan images they can’t see.
C. Connect it to a small camera. D. Connect it to the Internet.
37. What does “bee-free” mean?
A. Bees can do what they want. B. Spend less money feeding bees.
C. Bees can be set free after working. D. No bees are needed.
38. What do we know about the new kind of honey?
A. It is not good for human health.
B. It has the same taste as real honey.
C. It is made from real honey.
D. It helps beekeeping businesses make more money.
39. How can Purrble help calm you?
A. Its sensors can sense your anger. B. It can touch you with its furry hands.
C. Its purrs can slow your heartbeats. D. It can help you know your feelings.
40. Which one should you support if you are an animal protector?
A. OrCam Read. B. The new kind of honey.
C. Purrble. D. Bear-like cats.

Sweet idea
Honey is produced by bees. But today’s beekeeping business (养蜂业) is not good for these hard-working insects.
