What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you, prepared by your very own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction, but professors at the university of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that scenario a reality. The team recently introduced a humanoid kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests. When teatime is over, the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away.

In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot. It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (橱柜) or put them in the trash. It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself. Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.

Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge. They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks. Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well.

Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete there are also many safety concerns (忧虑). Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house, manipulating hot pans and sharp knives. The European Commission recently funded (资助) a project to study these concerns. According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish, “Enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics.”

1.Compared with Readybot, which of the following is true about the Japanese robot?

A. It is more popular. B. It performs more jobs.

C. It moves more quickly. D. It looks more like a person.

2.What can Readybot be used to do?

A. Drive you afround. B. Clean your kitchen.

C. Prepare food for you. D. Work for office workers.

3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “manipulating” in the last paragraph?

A. Inventing. B. Avoiding.

C. Controlling. D. Making.

Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York, where she worked at a summer resort to earn money for college tuition by caring for the horses, giving riding lessons, and working as a waitress. And she has many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.

Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains. Anne graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in conservation of natural resources and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader.

Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York. Eventually, she decided to build a cabin near Black Bear Lake. Over the years, however, more and more tourists began hiking near her cabin. As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.

Anne lived in the woods for most of her life. She enjoyed living alone in the woods, and her life was far too busy for her to be lonely. When she was not writing books, she wrote articles for National Geographic, Reader’s Digest, and other magazines. In her later years, Anne conducted research in Guatemala on an endangered bird called the grebe. She also lectured nationwide about ecology. Besides, Anne worked with a number of organizations dedicated to conservation.

As a respected guide, author, and conservationist, Anne not only loved the land but also had found a way to become part of it.

My doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.

I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.

I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.

Communication between my benefactor（恩人）and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is "hello". Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.

"Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time," I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her, ”I said.

"Oh, no," Nicole said. "Don't worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname."

The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than I am-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.

So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.

Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness.

"Thank you" is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.

1.The author and Wing got to know each other ________.

A. as next door neighbors B. when exchanging meals

C. by sharing similar experiences D. after using an iPad to communicate

2.The underlined word "reciprocate" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A. do as well B. offer generously C. give in return D. accept with pleasure

3.The author's effort to learn Mandarin shows her ________.

A. great satisfaction B. real kindness C. heartfelt thanks D. sincere friendship

Dear daughters,

Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that a dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing. Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world.

Firstly, be open-minded to changing your path along the way. In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, D.C. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit（非营利机构）.Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. In my opinion, you need to figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about. Keep an open mind: the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas. Don’t waste your money or time, but you can change what you are doing based on what you are learning about yourself.

Secondly and more importantly, remember that failure is vital to your success. I won’t tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way absolutely made me better. Failing the math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing but I've never failed an exam again.

Being deprived(剥夺) of the job for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions hurt me but I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. It’s okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.

I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur(企业家). I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have anything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.

Love,

Your Mom
