For eight-year-old Toby. who is deaf, watching films or TV can sometimes be a bit pointless, becau so many of them don't have sign language versions. "We have subtitles but it goes too fast," his dad Jarod Mills said. But now, Toby has some help thanks to an app developed by a 17-year-old student,
Mariella Satow, who created a signing app called SignUp.
She got the idea when she was teaching herlf American Sign Language(ASL)—one of hundreds of sign languages ud across the world. Mariella wanted to watch TV shows to help her learn, and she was disappointed to discover how few had signed versions. It's taken a year for Mariella to develop the technology, with lots of help from ASL teachers and the deaf community.
The app is available in the US as a browr extension—with an interpreter appearing in a box once the film starts playing. It only works on Disney Plus films at the moment, becau that's where Mariella thought she could help the most children. Jarod, who works at a school for deaf children, says it was "exciting" watching Toby u Mariella's invention. He says, "Kids are getting information like any hearing child does."
Deaf people in the UK face many of the same barriers when it comes to cinema and TV. "A hearing person can go to the cinema any time whereas deaf people have to make sure there's a suitable viewing a time we're free," says 27-vear-old Stacey Worboys from Cardiff. She has learned British Sign Language(BSL), and is comfortable using subtitles when watching TV shows and films. But she feels having an interpreter would make things "more inclusive", especially for someone who mig
unenthusiastic
ht struggle with subtitles. Stacey and Toby aren't the only people to be welcoming Mariella's app. It's now got thousands of urs.
Stacey says a UK version of an app like SignUp would make films and TV "more accessible" for the deaf community. Mariella is up for the challenge—and hopes to make a British Sign Language version of her app for other streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. "There are more than 300 sign languages ud worldwide, so it'll take a lone time to get all of tho versions out," she says.
24. Mariella created SignUp becau of_________.
decent什么意思
A. her awareness of Toby's frustration
B. lack of signed TV shows for the deaf
C. her childhood memories in a cinema
D. the encouragement from her teachers
25. What will be Mariella's next challenge?
A. To update the app for cinemas.
B. To design a BSL version of the app.
中韩在线翻译器C. To launch a universal version of the app

Pioneer s like Harvard social ecologist Stephen Kellert were among the first to champion modern bio
philic design. Kellert believed that weaving nature into living and workspaces is critical for good physical and mental health.
Humans have evolve d to gravitate towards nature, Kellert noted. but if we don't develop that impul it fade s. So his principles include access to natural light, air, water. plants, and gardens. Using materials such as wood and stone, natural designs such as leaf or shell pattern s, and earthy colors also helps humans to feel clor to nature.
Biophilic designs can be en in cities and buildings around the world. Modern examples include the Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore, with its four-storey forest garden and world's largest indoor waterfall fed by rainwater. Or the Swedish Mirror cube tree hou hotel, mainly made of ud plywood and a lightweight aluminum(铝)frame wrap ped around a tree.
Spectacular biophilic homes include One Central Park in Sydney apartment block s
featur ing hanging gardens on the outside. The buildings recycle their own water and a suspended (悬浮的)motorized mirror system reflect s sunlight down onto gardens below. Milan's Bosco Verticale block is perhaps even more eye—catching with its vertical forest of 17,000 trees, bushes, and plants.
Putting biophilic design to work for society could prevent millions in healthcare costs, with one study estimating annual savings of $93 million in the US alone. Hospital design in particular has historically been influenced by access to sunlight and views of nature. Modern buildings like the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore, with its position next to the waterfall of the Yishun Pond, are cloly linked with their surroundings. The hospital channels outdoor air to cool the inside, and us reflective sunshades to direct light into the wards to brighten them and save energy.
