题目内容:
Lily Born is an 11-year-old girl from Chicago, America. When most 11-year-olds are watching Hunger Games, Lily is busy designing(设计) a special cup to help people with Parkinson’s disease(帕金森病).
Lily is the daughter of an inventor, and her grandfather has Parkinson’s disease. After Lily noticed that her grandfather spilled his drinks, she decided to make a special cup for him. Lily’s cup has three legs, so it’s harder to knock over than the common cup. She named it the Kangaroo Cup.
The design was not a success at first. The cup broke easily. However, with the help of her father, Lily worked with some older designers and manufacturers(厂商)to improve her design.
