问题描述:

The unthinkable keeps happening.The 18th hot car death of the year was recorded Thursday---on the same day a national public service campaign started.It is meant to warn parents about the dangers of leaving kids in overheated cars.In the latest unfortunate accident,a 10-month-old girl died in Wichita,Kan,after being left by her parents in a car that was parked outside her house.The baby was forgotten,according to the police.

One New Mexico teenager's creation called"Hot Seat"might someday prevent such deaths.Alyssa Chavez,a 17-year-old from Albuquerque,said she designed a warning system that might stop people from accidentally leaving their young children in the car after they get out of it.

Chavez,whose mother owns a day-care center,said she had heard about the deaths of three children in hot cars in summer."I felt that would be a good project for my eighth-grade science fair project---to find something to prevent those accidents from happening,"said Chavez.

She bought a door alarm (警报器) and began to design her new warning system.Finally,she won the science fair.And for the last three years,she's been improving the design and creating a business plan.

The invention works in a simple but effective way.A parent places a sensor pad (感应垫) under the cover of a baby car seat.The pad has a sensor that communicates with a key fob (饰物) carried by the parent to find out how far the parent is from the car.If the parent is more than 40feet away from the car,the pad will check to see if it feels the child in the seat.If it doesn't,the alarms will not sound.If it does,then three alarms will go off---the key fob,the parent's phone and the car alarm itself.Chavez is now trying to raise money to build a model Hot Seat.

A.They were too careless.

B.They treated her unkindly.

C.They had poor driving skills.

D.They were a
