Ⅲ. 阅读广播内容，回答下列问题。
Presenter: Welcome to the radio. What do you do with your old mobile phone? Today we will show you an interesting way to deal with it.
Logging in rainforests is usually against the law. However, it's difficult to notice it. As an engineer, Topher White came up with a solution: putting "ears" on trees.
His invention uses an old mobile phone, a solar panel and a microphone.
This is how it works: First, the invention is tied to trees. Next, an app on the mobile phone starts listening. When it catches the noise of cutting down trees, it sends an alarm to the forest guards. The guards can soon find the place and stop the logging.
The invention has been used in over 10 countries. It has saved over 2,500 square kilometres of rainforests.
1. What problem does Topher White want to solve with his invention?
2. How does this invention work?
3. What do you think of Topher White? What do you learn from him?
