In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.

Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.

Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.

To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.

The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.

“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

1.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?

A. They cannot repair themselves.

B. The computer has changed a lot.

C. They have no computers inside.

D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.

2.The new technology allows the robot to _________.

A. do house work for humans

B. keep working after being damaged

C. remember a lot of information

D. tell people where it is

3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.

A. sensors

B. robots

C. arms and legs

D. scientists

4.How do the sensors in the robot work?

A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.

B. They can find out where the damage comes from.

C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.

D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.

The timer is running. These people have 60 minutes to escape (逃脱) from a room they paid to be locked inside.

It is a game with clues (线索) that are spread in the room. And there is no starting point. You start wherever you feel like. It is up to you to put the clues together in order to find the key to get out.

A popular room offered by Timothy Smith in Washington D.C. is designed to mimic (模仿) the Oval Office in the White House. It is built like the office of the American president. The fun part of Escape the Oval Office is that anything here could be a clue to solving the puzzle. An old typewriter from the 1930s. Or the small table in the corner. Or the map of Washington D.C. on the wall. And then there are hidden messages that can only be seen under a black light.

Sometimes, the telephone rings. “Would you guys like a clue?” The boss controls the game progress on a camera and calls to offer hints (提示) when needed.

Teams can be made up of classmates, families, tourists, or a group of six friends and two strangers who just meet before the game starts.

It’s said that there are more than 800 Escape Room adventures in Washington D.C.. Each experience has different themes and stories. The rules for playing are similar, and solving the puzzle needs social, physical abilities and quick, creative thinking.

It was a little stressful. Some of the clues seemed really complex (复杂的). But it was a lot of fun, and the players had no idea what to expect. 

Escape Room adventure is popular because it gives any person a chance to be a detective or to be a James Bond. However, like most team sports, this game is really all about being a good teammate and having a good time.

1.Escape the Oval Office is a popular room in  __________ .

A. Chongqing    B. Washington D.

C. C. Beijing    D. Hong Kong

2.The underlined word in the last paragraph means__________ .

A. 侦探    B. 律师    C. 医生    D. 政客

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. All game clues are easy to find.    B. Nobody can give any hints during the game.

C. Strangers can’t play the game together.    D. Players need to work together to escape successfully.

4.This passage is probably from a(an)_____________.

A. newspaper    B. medicine box    C. story book    D. movie poster

A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6,000 copies of the book were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.

The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel to his clerk and turns away(避免)his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits(幽灵). The first shows scenes from Scrooge’s youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate(绝望的) poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk’s sick son, Tiny Tim.

Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守财奴), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.

1.What do we know about the book A Christmas Carol?

A. It was written in the early 19th century.

B. Dickens completed the book in a week.

C. It has been adapted(改编)for cinema and television.

D. It didn’t attract readers when published for the first time.

2.The third spirit shows Scrooge        .

A. where he will die and who will care about him

B. how others care about his present life

C. when and how he will die alone

D. what his future life will be like

3.The underlined part “Scrooge repents” probably means          .

A. Scrooge feels sorry for what he has done

B. Scrooge does things as he did before

C. Scrooge is angry with the three spirits

D. Scrooge gives the three spirits a hand

New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. 1.They will also be kids who don't dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. Here are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth.

Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? Don't do it again! That's not honest. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents that you have done homework.

2. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-Loving Month in our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? 3. That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. Have you ever quarreled(吵架)with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.

Be open to new ideas.

Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you'll discover Earth II someday. Don't look down at anyone. Everyone's ideas are important. 4.

Protect yourself.

Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don't let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.

Use the Internet carefully.   

5.But some things on the Internet aren't for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework.

 

A. Do more at school

B. Try to learn from others.

C. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

D. The Internet can be useful for your studies.

E. Everyone can be top students.

F. The best students won't only have high marks.

G. You should join!
