We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can’t find a recycling bin anywhere.
A team of middle school students from the US noticed this ______, so they designed their Recycling Bin app (应用程序). This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save places as favorites on it. This app also reminds users to recycle.
The team, of nine students in Grade Six, is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. It asks students to think of an app that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling.
“We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” said Jaden Hilkemann, 12.
“We worked together and it was great,” Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they learned a lot working together. “At first, we all didn’t agree on what we wanted it exactly to do, but in the end we all came to an agreement,” he said.
They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin app has been put into use in the Google Play app store for Android phones.
“I was so excited when it went up at the app store,” said Seralyn Blake, 12. “A lot of my family members downloaded (下载) the app. It was pretty cool.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Connor McLeod has a problem with money. The 13-year-old from New South Wales, Australia, cannot tell the differences between bills (钞票). Australian bills come in different colors and sizes and it is clear how much each bill is worth. But Connor has been blind since birth. He says the size differences aren’t enough to tell the bills apart. “I have to keep asking my mom how much money I have,” he says. Many other Australians have the
same problem. About 357,000 Australians are blind or visually impaired (视力受损的). Connor decided to take action.
Last year, he started to advise the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to print tactile (能触知的) money. The RBA is responsible for producing Australian bills. Connor met with RBA officials and asked them to add special features (特征) to the bills. The features would make it easier for people with vision problems to know each bill by touch. Connor also started an online petition (请愿书). More than 57,000 people wrote their names on it. “I was very happy that people were supporting me,” he says.
The RBA got the message. In February, it announced it would add a tactile feature to its next bills. Connor is proud of the change he has helped bring to his country. “It’s pretty cool,” he says. “You never know what you can achieve if you don’t give it a go.” 根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。 61.
