“Withut better data t understand the health f increasingly stressed waterways, the fight t save these mst precius resurces will be ineffective,” said the c-funder f a technlgy cmpany. “Virtually every waterway is plluted t an extent where the ecsystem just can’t balance back anymre,” he explains.

The standard versin is abut 1.3 meters lng and weighs 30 kilgrams and can be equipped with cameras and sensrs t measure xygen, salinity（盐度）and pH levels.
The funder was mtivated t build the rbts after his eight-year-ld daughter learned abut the cean crisis and asked him t help prtect the seas. He says it’s imprtant that the rbts can integrate int natural habitats—swimming amng ther creatures withut disturbing them and mving arund bstacles smthly.
The cmpany has put its technlgy t use in different regins.

The CEO f the cmpany said its technlgy culd be used in the regin fr water management, sustainable aquaculture（水产养殖）peratins, and mnitring the health f crals.
Still, the cmpany has sme blcks t clear befre its fishlike rbts will be seen cruising（游弋）thrugh the wrld’s waterways. “We need capital t cmmercialize,” said the CEO, “but there are very few peple wh are willing t actually supprt thse that are ding frntier technlgies in the waterways.” The funder hpes mre funding will fllw. He said, “Investrs shuld abslutely wake up.”

Fr centuries, explrers have searched fr the funtain f yuth. Surprisingly, the secret t staying yung might have been within us all alng. Amr, a scientist, and clleagues have discvered that T cells can be reprgrammed t fight aging, s t speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white bld cells can attack anther grup f cells knwn as senescent（衰老的）cells, which are thught t be respnsible fr many f the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are thse that stp replicating（再生）. As we age, they build up in ur bdies, resulting in sme diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly ver time. As an alternative, Amr and clleagues turned t a “living” drug called CAR（chimeric antigen receptr）T cells.
They discvered CAR T cells culd be used t rid f senescent cells in mice. As a result. the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lwer bdy weight, imprved metablism（新陈代谢）, and increased physical activity. All these came withut any tissue damage r side effects.
Perhaps the greatest pwer f CAR T cells is their lng-lasting effects. The team fund that just ne dse（一剂）at a yung age can have lifelng effects. That single treatment can prtect against cnditins that cmmnly ccur later in life.
“T cells have the ability t develp memry and exist in yur bdy fr really lng perids. which is very different frm a chemical drug,” Amr explained.
Amr’s lab is nw investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live nt nly healthier but als lnger. If s, sciety will be ne step clser t the funtain f yuth.
32. What discvery have scientists made abut T cells and aging?

B. Aging is caused by genetic changes.
C. Senescent cells are T cells.
D. T cells can fight aging.
33. What des the underlined wrd “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sustain.B. Remve.C. Cue.D. Plish.
34. Which effect f CAR T cells n yung mice des the text emphasize?
A. Shrt-term activity increase.B. Immediate weight reductin.
C. Lifelng health enhancement.D. Temprary metablic imprvement.
35. What is Amr’s attitude t the future f emplying CAR T cells?
A. Optimistic.B. Dubtful.C. Critical.D. Unclear.
