Lucy Hughes, a 24-year-old English , has used skin and scales from fish to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks.
As a designer, Ms. Hughes was very of how wasteful many products are. Plastic items, for example, are often made from brand new plastic, used once for a short time, and then away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead.
After some tests, Ms. Hughes decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. She tried over 100 different – many of them on her kitchen stove – before getting things just right.
Ms. Hughes her finished product “MarinaTex”. MarinaTex is clear and feels like plastic, but it’s stronger than regular plastic that is the same thickness.
MarinaTex is also cheap to make since it’s made from fish waste. Ms. Hughes says that the waste from one Atlantic cod (a fish) could make 1,400 bags. The of making MarinaTex also doesn’t use much energy.
Her invention won this year’s James Dyson Award. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible.
Read the passage and answer the following questions.
A smart phone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first smart phones enabled users to send and receive emails. Later models added the function of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smart phones also include touchscreens and web browsers that display web pages.
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smart phone. That doesn’t mean making calls, but playing phone games and browsing the Web.
Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a conversation instead of traditional communication. It’s no secret that our lives are being affected by our smart phone’s obsession.
However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online on YouTube for a few days, it has already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.
Ironically, YouTube’s data show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.
The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzman, shows that people obsessed with being more connected to others through their smartphones than who they are physically with in the real world. To a certain extent, we all do it.
The first models of smart phone can help people ______.
The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
