2．Although most hitchhikers（搭便车的人）are people，passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers．But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？
That is the answer Canadian professors，David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller，who study  the relationship between humans and technology，are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．
HitchBOT is built with cheap household items．Thanks to a PC tablet，GPS tracker and camera，hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks．The smart robot is even able to quote（引用）interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．
Not surprisingly，many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability．Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone．Actually，they are all wrong．The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax，Nova Scotia，to Victoria，British Columbia，a distance of 3，700miles．It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple．It not only reached its destination on August 21st，but also had some amazing adventures along the way．It visited national parks，went fishing，went camping，and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．
In addition to helping it get to its destination，its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety-from coveting the robot with a plastic cape（披肩）to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．

24．Why is the hitchhiking robot built？B
A．To help passers-by reach their destinations．
B．To find out how people might react to it．
C．To see if it will give tides to strangers．
D．To entertain drivers on their way．
25．The hitchBOT can do all of the following exceptD．
A．talking with the driver    
B．dancing with people
C．sending its thoughts and pictures
 D．answering any question raised
26．How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？A
A．Nearly a month．    
B．Over one month．    
C．Two months．
D．One week．
27．What can we learn about the hitchBOT？C
A．It was ignored by an elderly couple．
B．It didn't meet with any danger along the way．
C．It experienced a long and amazing journey．
D．It will be put into the market quickly．

13．When Siva Kalyan was born，his backbone was deformed（畸形的）resulting in a lifelong difficulty in walking．But that hasn't stopped the nine-year-old from becoming a prodigy（天才）．
Until he was three-and-a-half years old，Siva could not even crawl．Wanting the best treatment for their son，Siva's parents moved with him from India to Australia and later to the USA．
In the USA，his parents enrolled（使入学）him in the second grade based on his age．But his teachers soon realized they had a genius．Siva was then tested for the eighth grade，but it was soon found out that he was actually qualified for college courses．As one advanced course was not enough，the brilliant boy is now taking two courses from Stanford University．Due to the treatment he received，Siva's physical condition has improved as well．
But none of this"just happened"．It was his parents'understanding and correct guidance，and the loving care of his grandparents that contributed to the growth of the genius．Siva's highly educated and hardworking family has brought him up on the basis of certain principles．
The family believes that once a strong foundation is built for the child in English and mathematics，the child is equipped to master any other subject，law，history，or engineering．It is equally important to recognize the strengths of a child rather than forcing the child to do things that he may not want to do．
Siva's parents helped．Siva focus his energies on his strength，which is mathematics．At the same time they took care to see that he had friends to play with and enjoyed a few recreational activities．The only activity that's restricted for Siva is viewing television．Siva watches TV only for 30 minutes a day and video games are a bonus for special occasions．
Thanks to his mother who is a singer，Siva has also learned music and even won the first and second prize at two competitions．In sports，he likes to swim．He began to learn swimming to strengthen his muscles，and by the age of eight he was able to swim a kilometer in both the backstroke and the freestyle．

Time is such valuable for every one of us．Even it is more valuable than money．The reason is that when money is spent，we can earn back．However，when time was gone，it will never come back．So we must value our time．
From birth to death，time is limited for all of us．So we should make well use of it．As students，what we should do first is to study well and obtain knowledges so that we can serve  our country in the future．
Therefore，some people don't know the value of time．They spend time do meaningless things，such as smoking，drinking and even gambling．
You should form a good habit of saving time．Don't put off that we should do till tomorrow．Laziness will bring us the poverty as well as failure．
