It is true that most of the time we should depend on ourlves for safety rather than entirely on the police, especially when staying al home.
Marie Van Brittan Brown, an African American nur living in Jamaic, Queens in the 1960s, was working in shifts, as was her husband, Albert, an electronics technician. When she arrived home late, she sometimes felt afraid. Serious crimes in Queens jumped nearly 32 percent from 1960 to1965, and police were slow to respond to emergency calls. Marie wanted to feel safer at home.
With the help of her husband. Marie imagined a device that could be attached to the front door. It would offer lour small holes, and through the, a video camera on the inside could view visitors of different heights as the host turned the camera up and down. The camera was connected to a television monitor inside. A microphone on the outside of the door and a speaker inside allowed the host to interrogate a visitor, while an alarm could inform the police via radio.
Clod-circuit Television (CCTV), invented during World War II for military u, was not widespread in 1960s, and the Browns propod using the technology to create the first modem home curity system. They filed a patent for their device in 1966, citing Marie as the leading inventor. It was approved three years later. “The equipment is not in
production,” The New Times reported, “But the Browns hope to interest manufactures and home builders.” That never happened. “The cost of installing it widely would be very pretty high,” says Robert McCrie, an emergency management expert at John Jay College of Criminal in Manhattan.
Marie’s invention, though it didn’t benefit them financially would earn the Browns a measure of recognition in the technology world: The predecessor (前身) of today’s home curity systems, it has been cited in 35 US patents.

When visiting a laboratory or muum and admire an eyeball or a tiny dead creature floating in a glass bottle, you e the prervation power of alcohol. Scientists have been relying on it since the 1600s to prerve their curious specimens (标本). And, if done correctly, it can sustain a sample for hundreds of years. But, how does it work?
“The long and the short of it is that it’s poisonous to certain kinds of microorganisms that would cau decay (腐烂),” said professor Bill Carroll or Indiana University Bloomington. He ud wine as an example. It’s made as yeast (酵母) eats sugar from grapes and then releas alcohol. But the yeast releas so much alcohol that the concentration becomes poisonous and kills the yeast. And that alcohol content-around 14%-helps delay the growth of microorganisms for years.
“Prerving other organic materials-Such as DNA, tissues or even entire animals- requires a higher alcohol concentration,” said Katherine Maslenikov, the fish collections manager at the Burke Muum in Seattle. For example, Maslenikov might take a fish specimen. After some initial preparations, she puts the fish specimen in a bottle of 70% alcohol and 30% of water. “For long term storage, 70% alcohol ems to be that magic
number,” Maslenikov said. “There’s enough water to help the specimen hold its shape, and enough alcohol to prevent the growth of microorganisms.”
Alcohol at even higher concentrations, for instance 95% ethanol (乙醇), works ns a dehydrant (脱水剂), meaning it removes and replaces the water in the cell, tissue or whole-body specimen with alcohol. This technique is a common way of prerving DNA.
It can be tricky to decide what percentage of alcohol to u. Using too much or too little can affect the sample’s shape and flexibility, or even lower its ability to prerve the sample. High concentrations of alcohol ud to dehydrate a specimen will prerve it. But Maslenikov said this process can also cau a specimen to change in size (from the loss of water) and become easily broken (form th e hardened proteins). Sometimes that’s OK; it all depends on what you are trying to prerve.intensity

earlyC．The role of alcohol with higher concentrations.
D．The aim to develop the technique of prerving DNA.

A．95% ethanol and 30 % water B．70% alcohol and 30% water
C．14% alcohol and 70% water D．30% alcohol and 70% water
11. What is the attitude of Maslenikov to using alcohol for prervation? A．Supportive B．Cautious C．oppod D．Enthusiastic
Despite more than a month of efforts to rescue Tenora, a young green a turtle, pollution-related issues made it difficult to save her. Tenora was finally put to death to reduce her suffering.
Tenora was brought in by Rainbow Reef Dive Center staff and customers on October 3, 2020.The rescue team was led by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors)Instructor Josh Phillips
who had made it his “personal mission” to help Tenora after eing her with a softball-sized tumor (肿瘤) out on the reefs (暗礁). He
connected with the Turtle Hospital, a nonprofit in the Florida Keys for permission and guidance about how to rescue her.
西点培训学校After over a month of arching and failed attempts, Phillips was finally able to rescue her on a rainy Saturday. Shelby Ferguson of the Turtle Hospital met the boat at the dock to bring Tenora in for evaluation and care. Ferguson explained that green e turtles are the species most easily affected by the virus that caus fibropapilloma (FP) tumors like the one Tenora had. Generally, she said, the more polluted the water, the more turtles prent with FP tumors.
In Hawaii, nitrogen ( 氯) runoff from pineapple farms increas the dia incidence in green a turtles near the islands, explained Bette Zirkelbach, manager at the Turtle Hospital. Scientists there first made the link between poor water quality and incread FP tumors in green a turtles. The Turtle Hospital is building on this knowledge by leading an in-water scientific study on a turtle health in the Florida Keys for the next three years, she added.
While external mass can be surgically removed, there is currently no treatment for internal FP tum
ors in a turtles, so animals like Tenora are humanely put to death to reduce their suffering, Zirkelbach said.
Phillips reflected on Tenora’s loss, saying, “I think it is terrib le to consider that this is mostly caud by humans.” He urged everyone, “Wake up. Do better. We’re all in this together, and if we don’t try to change how we live our lives, things aren’t going to get any better. This is our chance lo do something today f or the next generation.”
12. How did Phillip react while eing Tenora for the first time?
A．He almost ignored her condition. B．He brought her to the Turtle Hospital.
C．He immediately knew she needed help. D．He decided to start a nonprofit for the species.

13. What does Ferguson’s explanation tell us about green a turtles?
A．They have already become endangered. B．They are easily threatened by polluted water.
C．It is still unclear how they get FP tumors. D．It is rare to e they have internal FP tumors.
14. Why does the author mention Phillips’ words in the last paragraph?
A．To draw attention to green a

B．To describe ways of protecting the earth.
C．To call for action to help the environment. D．To educate the next generation in responsibility.
