When yu think abut wh’s respnsible fr a city’s safety, what peple cme t mind? Plice fficers, firefighters r emergency respnse teams? Wuld yu put yur lcal meterlgist （气象预报员） in this grup? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chse, and she’s nw the first female chief meterlgist in Batn Ruge, Luisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather fr her cmmunity.

Peple wh have truble walking ften have a hard time enjying the beach. But hundreds f beaches in Greece nw ffer a new way fr peple in wheelchairs t get int the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair n a mving ramp （轻便梯） that can smthly carry a disabled persn int the sea. Once in the sea, the persn can either remain in the chair, enjying the water r g fr a swim. The Seatrac system can als help anyne else wh has a hard time walking, including lder peple and pregnant wmen.
Seatrac was invented and develped in Greece. The idea fr it came when ne f the inventrs, Ignatis Ftiu, was talking with a friend wh used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjyed the sea, but didn’t like having t be carried int the cean as if he were a sack （袋） f ptates.
Mr. Ftiu realized that there must be a way t make it easier fr wheelchair users t get int the water. Mr. Ftiu wrked with his partner and a prfessr at a Greek university t design the system. In time, they frmed a cmpany called TOBEA t build and sell it.
The cmpany wrked hard t make the system simple t put in place and easy t run. A wden walkway allws wheelchair users t reach the Seatrac. The system is slar-pwered. It desn’t require utside pwer and can cntinue t run even if the electricity ges ut. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stred when the swimming seasn ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at ver 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hpes t ffer Seatrac in ther cuntries sn.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being ffered fr free. The Greek gvernment has helped pay fr it, with lcal cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s gvernment hpes that Seatrac will help attract mre turists t the cuntry.
28. Wh is Seatrac designed fr?

B. Yuths wh like t swim in the sea.
C. Wmen wh enjy beach baths with their children.
D. Peple wh have truble mving arund n the beach.
29. What des the underlined wrd “it” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The system.B. Ptat.C. Ramp.D. Nrmal wheelchair.
30. What can we learn abut the Seatrac system?
A. It’s nt easy t perate.
B. Users dn’t have t wrry abut charging it.
C. Peple need t have a big cst t use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at mre than ne thusand beaches.
31. Why des the Greek gvernment help pay fr the Seatrac service?
A. T imprve the gvernment’s image. B. T prmte the develpment f turism.
C. T set up an rganizatin fr the disabled. D. T supprt small and medium-sized lcal cmpanies.

In late June, the US gvernment agreed t allw tw cmpanies, Upside Fds and Gd Meat, t sell chicken meat that has been grwn in a labratry. That makes the US the secnd cuntry t apprve lab-grwn chicken.
Unlike nrmal chicken meat, lab-grw n meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat prduct develped frm animal cells that are grwn in a lab. S it is als called “cell-based” r “cultured” meat.
The prcess f creating lab-grwn meat is cmpletely different frm the nrmal meat-raising prcess. The first cells cme frm live animals. The cells are grwn inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need t grw. In a few weeks, the cells grw t lk like nrmal meat. The cmpanies then frm this meat int mre familiar shapes.
The cmpanies say that their meat is better fr the envirnment than meat frm animals.
Raising animals fr fd uses huge amunts f land and water. It als creates a lt f pllutin. Raising animals fr fd creates abut 15% f the wrld’s greenhuse gases. That’s why cutting back n eating meat is ne f the easiest ways t fight climate change. Lab-grw n meat can als help ut in ther ways. Raising animals fr fd is extremely hard n animals. They are ften kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Plls （民意调查） have shwn that many peple aren’t t interested in lab-grw n meat. Lt s f peple believe that it just sunds weird. But Amy Chen, wh wrks fr Upside Fds, says that nce peple try the meat. “The mst cmmn respnse we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
But right nw, the meat is far mre expensive than meat frm animals. Even thugh the cmpanies have been apprved, they have the huge challenge f figuring ut hw t make much mre meat far mre cheaply.
32. What can we knw abut lab-grwn chicken meat?
A. It is created frm animal cells in a labratry. B. It is cheaper than the nrmal meat.
C. America is the first cuntry t apprve selling it. D. Tw cmpanies are allwed t d research n it.
33. What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. The necessity f eating nrmal meat.
B. The prcess f creating lab-grwn meat.
C. The disadvantages f raising animals fr fd.
D. The similarities between lab-grwn meat and nrmal meat.
34. What des the underlined wrd “weird” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Easy.B. Ordinary.C. Strange.D. Attractive.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Lab-grwn Meat Is OutdatedB. What Exactly Is Lab-grwn Meat?
C. Hw Is the Lab-grwn Chicken Made?D. Lab-grwn Chicken Meat Is Cming
