阅读理解

    I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to control myself.

    Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.

    In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.

    I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book! "But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. I'd rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let herself feel anything at all.

I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think I was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more —that bored and sad girl. I'd rather be this girl who is able to forgive(原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

①Aarrav Anil, a 13-year-old boy, has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. He invented a smart spoon and stood for India to attend an international competition last year. In the competition, he won the first prize. But he didn't create his smart spoon to win a prize. He noticed his uncle who has Parkinson's disease (PD) (帕金森病) try to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. Aarrav wanted to make a change.

②More than 7 million people in India have PD. The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.

③Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the boy to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took tools to his room with sensors (传感器) and a 3D printer. But not everything went well.

④"I was sad that I couldn't find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad." Aarrav said in an interview.

⑤Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. "I've improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food." the boy said.

⑥The smart spoon is now being tested at a local college. The test is expected to be completed in early 2025. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will be used in hospitals soon.
