One day, Anna Du was walking along Castle Island’s beach. She found there were lots of plastic (塑料) pieces in the sea and some were too small to pick up. She began to think about how to solve the problem.
First, she did a survey. The result showed there were already 150 million tons of plastic in the sea, and every year there would be another 8 million tons. She realized something must be done. So she decided to invent a robot that could work underwater. She tried again and again. At last her ROV came out. It could move through water and pick up plastic pieces, especially the small ones.
With this ROV, Anna Du took part in the Broadcom Masters competition which is one of the top STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) competitions. It’s for young students around the world. This year, more than 5,000 students were interested in the competition, but only a few got the chance. Anna Du’s ROV caught a lot of attention. It had a camera with three different kinds of lights which could find plastic pieces easily. Dana Yoerger, an expert, said, “The ROV is nicely done for a12-year-old girl. It’s very clever.”
In fact, Anna Du is always learning to solve the world problems and her parents are always supporting (支持) her. At the age of five, she began to go to workshops to learn engineering skills. When she was asked about her future plan, she said, “I want to be an engineer because I like building things. I think many world problems can be solved with new inventions. Right now, I’m just caring about plastic problems because there is still a long way to go.”
6. What is ROV?
A. A STEM competition. B. An underwater robot. C. A nicely done camera. D. An excellent program.
7. What did Dana Yoerger think of ROV?
A. He thought it was pretty and useful. B. He thought it was an easy invention.
C. He spoke highly of ROV and its inventor. D. He didn’t think ROV would change the world.
8. Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Anna Du invented her ROV. b. Anna Du walked along Castle Island’s beach.
c. Anna Du did a survey. d. Anna Du took part in the competition.
A. c-b-a-d B. b-d-c-a C. c-a-d-b D. b-c-a-d
9. What did Anna Du mean by saying “there is still a long way to go”?
A. There are too many world problems. B. Her ROV will go to further places.
C. More work needs to be done to solve the problem. D. She will work hard to become an engineer.

Suppose (料想) you’re in London and trying to find the bus to take you to Hyde Park. This should be easy. But if you can’t speak the language, it can be a problem. What will you do? Here is some advice on how to ask the way in a foreign country.
Know the place you want to go. You can always tell others the name of the place where you want to go. It may be a place of interest, or simply a street. Whatever it is, if you do a little homework to remember the name of it, you can ask the way much more easily.
Take a map or a picture. If you’re not sure about your pronunciation when asking the way, you’d better take a map or a picture of the place where you want to go. As the old saying goes, “A picture can say a thousand words.”
Use body language. Body language can be helpful in making others understand where you want to go. For example, you can draw the shape of the Eiffel Tower in the air. It gives people an idea of where you are going.
With the advice above, I believe you can find your way. Let’s try!
11. What are the pieces of advice about?
A. Learning a language. B. Reading a map. C. Using body language. D. Asking the way.

15. In which part of a magazine can you probably read this text?
