Leon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn't -stop him from being able to do

many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created

a prosthesis(假肢），using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close."It was a

do-it-yourself, father and son adventure," says raw.

When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he

was in his early teens. "The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was

born with," says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can

cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.

One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D

printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told

him all he needed was a 3D printer一which costs around $2,000- and some materials.

Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the

hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard（护胫），cardboard, and tape. They cost about＄10," says

Paul.

With his new hand, Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more, because now I can

carry two grocery bags,”he says.

Leon's father has already built .several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says

there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal," he tells the

reporter from the local evening paper,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces:'

24. Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?

A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.

B. A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.

C. To master the disabled hand was important.

D. The original hand could do many tasks.

25. Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by

A.collecting money on the Internet. B. buying a prosthetic hand

C. purchasing a 3D printer D. printing a hand

26. The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as

A. cheap and common B. strange and valuable

C. personal and lovely D. basic and solid

27. Where can the passage be taken from?

C

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, we'll be

surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet

products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for

products that harm us psychologically（心理上地）and physically.

It's obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the

thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the

consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.

What's more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a

zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don't have to work to get results．Diet products

make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and

struggle.

As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects

they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero

calorie. oaly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products, And

they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are

stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals

that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before

buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, 3rd

therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

28. From Paragraph 1，we learn that

A. diet products are in our daily life B. people have trouble choosfng diet products

C. people should put up with diet products D. diet products are misleading people

29. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to

A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods B, pay attention to their daily diet

C. watch their weight rather than their diet D. try out varieties of diet foods

30. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means

A. diet products cause no pain B, it costs a lot to.lose weight

C. losing weight is effortless D. diet products are free of fat and calories

31．Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products

A. are over-consumed B. are short of basic nutrients

C. lack chemicals D. provide too much energy
