• D.avoid traffic jam caused bypotholes

Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes (路面坑洞) .Theeighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him toschool. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street intheir hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about thepothole problem in my city,”said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when thereis a pothole ahead. 

Chokwe developed the app with his friends,“When the app detects a pothole, it ishighlightedin red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warnyou with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and tolook for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. 

The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works byusing the city’s 311 call system, soit uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwesays. Throughthe call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—whichinclude potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street bystreet throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jacksonwould give them a large enough sample size to test it. 

• Although the app isn’t yet available for sale,Chokwe is already looking for ways toimprove it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so thatit includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “
• Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.
• A.his own experience
• B.a recent news report
• C.his friends
• D.his mother

The purpose of this passage is to ________.

• C.It is held every weekend.
• D.It is environmentally friendly.

I recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green washeld over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted animpressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, thiswas a green festival! 

From the food to the stalls (货摊) , everything was as environmentally friendly as possible.Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, thefestival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in speciallylabeled dustbins which, after the festival,were sorted so all of the waste could be recycledappropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were notencouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.

I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to amusic festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myselfsitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake whiledrinking organic fruit juice.There were many stalls,art installations, and different areas,meaning there was somethingthere for everyone, from small children to the elderly! 

This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that doesnot cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more eventssimilar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imaginehow much waste has beenproduced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how badthey were for the environment! 

Which of the following can be the title of thepassage?

• A.We Love Green
• B.We Love Environment
• C.Music Festivals
• D.A Unique Public Event
