26、What3words
This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death. What3Words divides the world into 3x3 metre squares, giving each one a unique combination (组合) of three words. This allows emergency services—or anyone else you give the location to—to reach you. It is used by the vast majority of emergency services in the UK, not to mention other control centres around the world, and has been praised for saving thousands of lives.
WhatsApp
Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but did you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know where you are in case you’re in danger? You simply press the + key in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables anyone in the chat to see your location in real time for the period you choose.
SkinVision
You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, when necessary or needed, but with about fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed (未经诊断) during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any strange-lookingpart of the skin with your phone and you’ll then receive a risk indication (风险迹象) within 30 seconds. This might include a recommendation to see a doctor. But don’t rely on an app to comfort you—if you’re worried about a skin problem, go to your doctor.
Stay Alive
With mental health problems on the increase, not helped by the pandemic (大流行病), this suicide (自杀) prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots Suicide Prevention, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from suggestions for staying at home when you feel extremely lonely and sad, to breathing exercises, to direct links to national and local crisis resources.

28、A Michigan teenager who was in The Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s tallest teenager has finally found an affordable pair of shoes to fit his size-28 feet, thanks to a 3-D printer.
Broc Brown, who is 7 feet 8 inches tall, has cerebral gigantism, which affects about one in every 15,000 people, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reported.
Brown’s aunt, Stacy Snyder, said that along with abnormal size, the disease causes Brown to have long-term back and knee pain, along with other illnesses. Snyder said no one is sure when he will stop growing. “I can walk in a store and out with five pairs of shoes if I want to,” she said, “but he can’t.”
California-based Feetz stepped in to help. The shoe company uses an app to change photos of someone’s feet into a 3-D model, which can be measured to create custom-fit shoes made by a 3-D printer. Feetz CEO Lucy Beard delivered a pair of black and red shoes to Brown at his home in Michigan Center last week. The shoes were the colors of Brown’s favorite basketball team, the Chicago Bulls.
Brown said, “I don’t like them. I love them. Thank you.” Beard said it was a first for the company. “We’ve never done a shoe this big before,” Beard said, “and we’re really just honored to do this.”
Beard said Feetz shoes cost between $99 and $250, while the typical custom-fit shoes cost a minimum of $400 to $500.
Until he turned 18 in 2021 and could no longer qualify, he was considered the tallest teenager in the world. With his new shoes, Brown thinks he can get back in The Guinness Book of World Records. “These definitely are the world’s largest 3-D-printed shoes,” he said.
【1】Why was Brown in The Guinness Book of World Records?
A.He was the tallest teenager in the world.
B.He had bigger feet than other people.
C.He suffered a kind of strange disease.
D.He had a shoe company in Michigan.
【2】What made the biggest shoes?
A.Feetz’s research into the disease.
B.A 3-D printer.
C.Brown’s aunt’s help.
D.Beard’s interest.
【3】How does Beard feel about making shoes for Brown?
A.Nervous.
B.Confident.
C.Proud.
D.Worried.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.3-D printing brings the hope for the disabled.

C.A Michigan man holds two Guinness records.
D.A Michigan man gets 3-D printed size-28 shoes.
