(40 points)Text 1 When 12 girls from San Fernando high school in California received a grant (助学金) to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter. Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project. “They have this amazing drive that Ive never seen before, ” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High. “I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying I didnt expect this much work, but they dont. Theyre just working hard and theyre not giving up.”Living in a low-income community (社区), the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand, which is why they chose that population to create a product for. Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-powered shelter might help refugees(难民). Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important lesson shes learned over the course of the project isnt technical. “Ive learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year. She says, “Many of them didnt think about engineering before. They thought maybe theyre not made out to be an engineer. But working together, now they realize theyre all needed in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”1、Why did Mardirosian think some girls would quit the subject?AIt was not practical in real life.BIt demanded a lot of time and energy.CIt was not supported by their math teacher.DIt required a lot of money and expert knowledge.2、Why did the girls decide to create a solar-powered shelter?ATo save energy.BTo win a scholarship.CTo help the homeless.DTo be admitted to MIT.3、According to Maggie, what is the most valuable lesson she has learned from the project?AHow to code.BThe power of teamwork.CThe way to teach herself.DHow to make the world a better
