Intel Capital,a global investment company,has announced it’ll invest in Shubham Banerjee’s company,making the teenager the world’s youngest tech entrepreneur to receive venture capital funding.
Shubham Banerjee learned about Braille,the writing system ud by the blind last December.To the middle schooler’s shock,he discovered the Braille printers cost thousands of dollars,so he decided to make his own.Using Lego pieces,he created a cheap Braille printer for his school’s science fair.
Now what started as a science fair project has transformed into a family-run startup: Braigo Labs,with mom Malini Banerjee the CEO,and dad Neil Banerjee on the board of directors.Neil also drives Shubham around and accompanies him to press events,
interviews and meetings.
The funding from Intel will allow the family to hire engineers and designers,allowing Shubham to return his focus to school and easing the financial burden on the Banerjee family;Neil was planning to dipping into his own savings before Intel made its offer.
The investment also earns Shubham a place in history.He is two years younger than Nick Dickens,who was previously the world’s youngest tech entrepreneur to receive an investment in2011.
Braigo includes software that Shubham created using Intel’s new Edison chip—a development platform to power devices built by early startups—and a printer that us various motors and tools.Shubham published the code for the software on the Web,so other developers can u it,but the family has a patent for the printer.Intel engineers, including his dad,helped Shubham build the model.
Many have welcomed the prospect of an affordable Braille printer,which they say could give blind people better access to literature and improve Braille literacy rates.Others, however,expresd concerns,saying that the demand for Braille printers will drop.
“The number of potential sales are quite limited becau there aren’t that many people who read Bra
ille,”said Ike Presley,national project manager for the American Foundation for the Blind.“We don’t know what the demand will be for hard copy Braille5to10years from now.”
But whether or not the company survives,the experience is almost certainly something his parents will long hold onto.
“He would stay ,and I would be like,‘Give it up Shubham,just give it up,’”said Malini Banerjee.“He would keep building and breaking things and I would get so discouraged,asking,‘Why is he wasting his time?’But now I tell every mom,‘Believe in your child.’”
24.What can we learn about Shubham’s company?
A.It is about to go bankrupt.
B.It is inspired by a Lego project.
C.It is burdened with media attention.
D.It is staffed mainly by the Banerjees.
25.Why does Shubham have“a place in history”?
A.He shares online the code for the software open-source.
B.He reinvents the writing system ud by the blind people.
C.He is the youngest to get investment from a big company.
D.He launches a new reading news app for the blind people.
26.What does Ike Presley really mean?
A.Braigo Labs’future is not so promising.
B.People will read more materials in Braille.
C.It’s wi for Intel to invest in Braigo Labs.
D.More needs to be done to rai Braille literacy.能动英语

C A slow death is creeping through Earth’s forests.As animals are killed by hunters or forced away by logging,the plants that depend on them to carry their eds begin to disappear.Over time,trees and other plants may vanish.Climate change is accelerating this process,a new study suggests —and it may eventually harm biodiversity.Many plants need help to move about the world.About half of all species rely on birds and mammals to eat or carry their fruits and nuts to new places.When the partners disappear,forests and plant communities can struggle to regenerate.Climate change is making things wor.As temperatures warm and rainfall decreas,plant populations will have to extend their ranges by as much as tens of kilometers per
year.Ecologist Evan Fricke,wanted to know how well plants all across the planet might be able to move to new habitats.He and his colleagues gathered existing data from thousands of studies that looked at how birds and mammals spread eds,including how far they travel and what percentage of the eds actually get to grow.They focud on eds that are disperd more than 1kilometer,a d
istance that is great enough to expand populations and help them recover from disturbances.The average ability of plants to keep pace with climate change has already declined by 60%,the rearch found.“That should certainly be ringing alarm bells,”says Fricke,“We’re ‘forcing’plants to move the great distances,but we’ve also significantly slowed their ability to do so.”The loss of the ability is greater in temperate (温带)regions according to the rearch.That’s becau the areas have lost many populations and species of large fruit-eating mammals,which can move eds longer distances.Also,the challenge for plants is greater there,becau when climate conditions change in relatively flat landscapes,species must move farther north to keep cool.In contrast,an alpine plant (高山植物)only has to move uphill to get to a cooler climate.The situation could get wor.In another analysis,the rearchers predicted what might happen if currently threatened and endangered ed-dispersing birds and mammals go extinct.This would reduce a plant’s ability to keep up with climate change by another 15%.However,some of the damage can be repaired by connecting isolated habitats.That will better allow species to move in respon to climate change.Reintroducing large animals to their former ranges could also help,becau they can move eds long distances.“This is a very loud wake up call for urgent conrvation efforts”of fruit-eating and ed-dispersing animals,says ecologist Rodolfo Dirzo.What’s important,he says,is not just preventing extinction,but keeping populations big enough to help many plants reproduce.
28.Which of the following is a threat to Earth’s forests?
A.Warming climate.C.Migration of animals.
B.Loss of biodiversity.D.Disappearance of eds.29.What does the underlined word “disperd”in Paragraph aped B.spread
C.planted
D.sowed
