Football is so popular in China. Almost everyone is interested in the sport — the young and the old, boys and girls, and now even robots.

Recently at Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, kids from several schools played football with their robots.

Robot football is very different from human football. Only two robots play in each match. The field is as big as a ping-pong table. One half is black and the other is white. Each robot tries to catch the “football” and score a goal. The robot with more goals wins.

Gao Linge, a boy from Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, helped make one of the robots for the match.

“My school bought the main board (主板),” said Gao, 14. “Then I decided what my robot looked like and made a computer program for it.”

Gao’s robot was eight centimeters tall and had two arms. It had four sensors (传感器) to “see” and “kick” the “football”.

Ying Xuehai, a 12-year-old student from Gao’s school, also made a robot. His robot played against Gao’s. The match decided who would go to the final game. Ying lost the game. So he gave many of his robot’s parts to Gao.

Even so, Gao’s robot didn’t win the final. It played well in the first five minutes. Then it slowed down. By the end of the match, it could hardly move. What was wrong? Gao and Ying found the problem — the robot ran out of batteries (电池)!

“We’ll solve the problem and beat the other schools next time!” said the two boys.

Most people who took vacations were happier than non-vacationers. So why not start planning your next trip right now? Here are the 4 places you can visit in 2017.

New Zealand

No doubt, many readers—particularly those who love outdoor recreation—will have dreamed of visiting beautiful New Zealand. Now may be the time to do it. The number of airline seats available to travelers going to New Zealand has roughly doubled in the past year, which means you can get relative deals on airfare to the country.

United Kingdom

It won’t be cheap to visit the U. K., but, it will be cheaper than it has been in years, experts say. The pound has fallen significantly against the dollar in recent months, and airfares are good deals now, too. One of the best ways to get deals is to book a hotel-and-airfare package.

The Gulf Coast of Florida

The western edge of the Sunshine State includes such cities as Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg and is known for blue waters and sugar-sand beaches—and, more recently, for relaxing beach vacations on a budget. Seven new hotels opened in that area in 2016, offering extra value of consumers.

Iceland

This country has been on budget travelers’ radar for a number of years, but it’s still offering plenty of deals. Hotels in the country are reasonable. Three-star hotels in May coast about $130 per night and in January $180 per night. One thing not to miss in Iceland: seeing the Northern Lights, best done from October to March.

1.Which destination is especially recommended for tourists who prefer outdoor activity?

A. New Zealand. B. United Kingdom.

C. The Gulf Coast of Florida. D. Iceland.

2.In which month should you go to visit Iceland if you want to save money?

The Alice Ferguson Foundation is a non-profit group that works to improve the environment by building relationships between people and nature. The foundation is based in the state of Maryland. It was created more than 50 years ago. It teaches people ways to protect the environment.

At the end of the year, it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create. Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation. “So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash.” She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season. “You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item.” “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift.” Urging people to recycle is important in the Washington, D.C., area, because Potomac River, one of the most famous rivers in the country lies there.

“Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative (倡议) itself.” says Seligman.

The Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative is an effort by the Alice Ferguson Foundation to support clean agricultural methods. It includes educational programs teaching children about the kinds of pollution that can enter the watershed.

One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose, at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core may take two months to rot. A metal can take up to 100 years.

The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.

The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.

Better for the Environment

Sustainability(持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.

Taste and Nutritional Content

Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.

Community and Home Values

When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.

1.According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ________.

A. you are making money from your community

A. they are sent to the market at a high speed

B. they aren’t polluted by chemical fertilizers

C. they can be harvested at any time

D. they are picked when they are fully grown

B. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.

C. The benefits of buying locally.

D. The importance of protecting the environment.

Varying speaking rate

Your words should not be too fast or too slow. If you speak too slowly you will bore your audience. If you speak too rapidly will be difficult to understand. Adapt your rate to the content of your speech. For example, if you explaining complex information, slow down. 5.
