TOKYO, JAPAN – What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂)? Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?
When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots（机器人）. Each cockroach has a very small packet that has in it a microprocessor (微处理器). Then researchers can send signals (信号) from the remote control to the packet. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.
Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble (瓦砾) to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.
This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
First, the research keeps hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae (触须). They put small packets where the antennae were. The packets weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight.”
With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packets. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.

A. they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the future
B. they want to control the movements of the cockroaches
C. they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes
D. they want to send signals to the packets on the cockroaches
2.Scientists control cockroaches’ movements _________.
A. by removing their wings
B. by sending signals from the remote control

D. by removing their antennae
3.What can cockroaches do to help people?
A. They can lift 200 times their own weight.
B. They can help people to carry very small cameras.
C. They can keep hundreds of cockroaches.
D. They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.
4.What problem do the cockroaches meet with?
A. The cockroaches sometimes don’t move.
B. The cockroaches are too big to move through earthquake rubble.
C. The cockroaches sometimes move in the wrong direction.
D. The cockroaches can only lift 20 times their own weight.
“He could have lived on his good looks, but instead he chose to live on talent and hard work.” This is how Internet users praised Chinese swimmer Ning Zetao.
On Aug 6, the 22-year-old won the 100-meter freestyle at the 2015 FINA Swimming World Championships in Russia. He was the first Asian to ever achieve this. Overnight the 191-cm-tall, handsome young man became the nation’s hero. Ning didn’t let the sudden fame(名声) get to his head. He said he only saw “a slight change” in his life after winning.
“My life is full of changes and challenges,” he said . “I welcome them and am never afraid of them.” The first big change in Ning’s life came at 2009.At the time, he specialized(专攻) in breaststroke(蛙泳) and was successful. But he felt a sharp pain in his knee. He suffered(遭受痛苦) every time he practiced his kicks. When he was 16,the knee pain got worse, and he had to stop swimming the breaststroke. Then he switched(转换)to sprint freestyle swimming. Ning didn’t let the change bring him down. Instead, he took advantage of it and became one of the best freestyle swimmers. Last year, he won four gold medals in freestyle races at the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea.
What is the next change Ning would like to see in his life? He said he wants to improve on his English. “English will help me communicate with foreign coaches and compete in the world games in the future.” Obviously Ning has high expectations for himself at the Rio Olympics next year. We wish him good luck.

To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story is not only correct, but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don’t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news. You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
1.What is the meaning of the underlined word “relevant”.
A .相关的 B.有趣的 C. 最新的 D.正确的
2.According to the writer, newspapers in Wuxi should talk about news in ________.
A. Hong Kong B. Wuxi C. Shanghai D. Beijing
3.Which of the following is true?
A. A small mistake can’t get a newspaper into trouble.
B. A lot of people like reading about news from last week.
C. The passage doesn’t tell us who was the first man to go into space.
D. People are mostly interested in news that happens far away from them.
