A

At an invention festival in California, the US, three high school students from Guangdong showed their invention—a special coating that could keep eggs fresh longer at room temperature.

The young inventors didn’t start with big scientific questions. Instead, the idea for their invention came from a challenge they faced. They had eggs brought from their hometowns to school, but because of the hot weather in Foshan, the eggs went bad quickly. So they decided to do something.

Normally, eggs have to be kept in a fridge to stay fresh, or they might go bad within a week. The three students wanted to use a different way to stop bacteria (细菌) from growing. They studied different materials, and finally developed a special coating. It acted like a protective “coat” on the outside of the eggs, and kept eggs fresh for about 40 days without a fridge.

The students compared their method with other ways to keep eggs fresh. They found that their method was easy to use and saved money. In the United States, it cost about $0.05 to keep an egg cold during transport, while their coating cost only 0.05 yuan (about $0.007) per egg.

Christina McTaggart, a judge at the festival, spoke highly of the three students’ invention. Although their egg-coating invention still had a long way to go before it could be produced and sold, she was confident that it was just a matter of time.

With their creativity and hard work, these young inventors stole the show, getting more attention than anyone else at the festival. They showed that great ideas could come from people at any age.

13. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?

A. The future use of the coating. B. The cost of transporting eggs.

C. The advantages of the invention. D. The importance of saving money.

14. What did Christina McTaggart think of the invention?

A. It could be put into use soon. B. It could be sold at a high price.

C. It would be on the market someday. D. It would take the place of the fridge.

In the small village of Pebblebrook, something strange happened one morning. Hundreds of gray stones in the park were now painted with bright colors and fun designs. There were rocks that looked like smiling suns, funny monkeys, and even flying dragons. Everyone wondered who did it.

Wanting to solve the mystery (谜题), three friends—Tom, Zadie, and Marco—set out together. They brought a map and a basket of sandwiches, in case they got hungry. They looked everywhere and asked everyone in town if they had seen anything strange, but they just shook their head.

Just when they were about to give up, they found a hidden road behind the library. There, they saw someone painting a big stone. It was Miss Ethel, the town’s shy artist. “Wow, what an amazing painting!” Marco shouted. Not expecting anyone to come, Miss Ethel jumped, knocked over the paint and got it all over Marco’s sandwich.

Miss Ethel explained that she painted the stones to bring smiles to the village. She wanted to start an art festival so that everyone could show others what they were good at. The friends were excited about this great idea. “Let’s call it Pebblefest!” Zadie said with shining eyes. They also invited Miss Ethel to show her works at the
