Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.

¡°Technology is moving very fast,¡± Rault told ABC News, ¡°The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.¡±

This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: ¡°You don¡¯t have to feed it, you don¡¯t have to walk it, it won¡¯t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.¡± The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.

It¡¯s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It¡¯s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.

As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. ¡°If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn¡¯t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,¡± he said.

So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn¡¯t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.

¡°I honestly have no idea how that cat got up there£®It¡¯s a hundred¡ªfoot¡ªmetal pole£®There¡¯s no way he climbed that thing£¬¡±Jim said to the worried woman£®It wasn¡¯t even her cat£¬but she was passing by and saw it£®immediately calling the fire¡ªstation to come to save it£®Jim saw a lot of strange things as a fireman£¬often sad or upsetting things£¬but this was new.

Jim shrugged£¬similarly puzzled£®¡°Do you suppose we could get the blanket and convince him to jump?¡±

Dave shrugged in response£®¡°I don¡¯t see why not£®¡±

Jim looked up at the black mass on the top of the flagpole£¬the American nag waving proudly beneath him£®It was definitely a cat£¬and he regarded the people gathered below as if they were his subjects(³¼Ãñ)and he their king£¬his yellow eyes scanning his surroundings with apparent disinterest£®

As it got closer£¬the cat leaped down the pole swiftly onto the ground£¬and then got lost in the bushes£®

Jim£¬Dave£¬and the old woman were left with their mouths open£®They all agreed it was the best way to get it down£®

When people ask me what Down Syndrome(ÌÆÊÏ×ÛºÏÖ¢) is, I tell them it¡¯s an extra chromosome(ȾɫÌå). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.

Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I¡¯m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I¡¯ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I¡¯m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.

Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. That¡¯s exactly what happened this year!

It¡¯s true that I don¡¯t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won¡¯t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.

I can¡¯t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I¡¯d tell them, ¡°Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.¡±

Parents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most important things to get during this time is the backpack. 1. This makes the bag less likely to hinder£¨·Á°­£©other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school.

How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? 2. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load.

3. If they will be carrying a laptop computer inside the new backpack, make sure that parents get a model that's designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.

Are children going to use the bag for a long time? 4. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market.

Count the pockets. Backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets, and generally, the more pockets, the better. 5.

Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet compromise£¨ÕÛÖУ© between form, function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for children's needs.

A. This allows children to organize their things, like pens and pencils inside small pockets.

B. However, more pockets also mean more trouble, children will have difficulty finding their things inside the pockets.

C. Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children.

D. Children are special and their needs are different from their parents.

E. Do children need special storage for the bag?

F. If they want to use a bag for a long time, parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for quality.

G. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free.

During these past few days I have been reflecting a lot on everything that happened this past year and thinking of what I can do differently so that the coming year will be much better! Here I want to share some tips so you can also do your resolution and you can achieve them all!

¡¤Be realistic: You should always try to reach for the skies with your goals, but things like ¡°I want to win the lottery£¨²ÊƱ£©¡± or ¡°I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month¡± are things you shouldn¡¯t have on your list because they will only become frustrations.

¡¤Be detailed: It¡¯s a lot easier to accomplish more specific plans than general ones. Instead of writing ¡°I want to lose weight,¡± put things like ¡°I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year¡± or ¡°I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.¡± When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.

¡¤Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gym as one of your annual plans. During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that you couldn¡¯t because you came home so tired from work. If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how you¡¯re going to achieve it. For example, ¡°I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.¡± That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.

¡¤Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is very important that all of your plans are for YOU to accomplish, and it is important that you write them down that way. If one of your goals this coming year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed. For example, ¡°I will call my sister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middle of the year.¡±

Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will accomplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me all of this love and support during the next. Happy new year!

1. Why isn¡¯t ¡°I want to win the lottery¡± recommended as a New Year plan?

A. Because it is very likely to fail.

B. Because it is too easy to realize.

C. Because it is not big enough as a goal.

D. Because it is not easier than losing weight.

2. The underlined word commit in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word_______.

A. devote B. determine C. adjust D. force

3.When you failed to accomplish your plan last year, you¡¯re advised to ______.

A. take action instead of writing it down

B. give up the same plan this year

C. put down the way to realize it

D. stop making any plans

4.According to the passage, which of the following is the best plan?

A. I will become a millionaire in one month.

B. I want to be the champion of the marathon.

C. I will change all of my bad habits in one week.
