26、It would be easy to believe that Mother’s Day was created by a greeting card company. After all, the day is celebrated with special sales and brunches, lots of presents and massive advertising campaigns. But the day was actually conceived more than a century ago by Anna Jarvis of West Virginia as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.
Jarvis’s mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs,” teaching women how to care for their children. During the Civil War, she organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” where mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers met to try to promote harmony. The younger Jarvis Was inspired by all the things her mother had accomplished with her social work.
When Jarvis was young, she overheard her mother praying, “I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will find a memorial mother’s day honoring her for the matchless service she offers to humanity in every field of life.” When her mom died in 1905, Jarvis looked through all the sympathy cards she received. She underlined all the kind words that praised her mother, reading them over and over. The outpouring of kindness for her mother inspired her to create a day to honor all mothers.
The white carnation was her mother’s favorite flower, so it became the symbol for the day. She said it symbolized the truth, purity and charity of a mother’s love. Her idea of celebrating Mother’s Day was wearing a carnation while visiting your mother or maybe going to church together. Children were also encouraged to write letters to their mothers, sharing the depths of their appreciation.
The first official Mother’s Day events were held on May 10. 1908, at the church where her mother taught Sunday School in Grafton, West Virginia, and at the Wanamaker’s department store auditorium（礼堂）in Philadelphia. Jarvis didn’t attend the event in Grafton, but she sent 500 white carnations.

28、 Robots come in many shapes and sizes. But most have one thing in common. They are built to help people. Lately engineers have been developing new kinds of humanoid robots. These high-tech machines are designed to lend a hand everywhere from hotels to disaster areas.
"Robots help people by making their lives easier, safer, and more fun," says engineer Omar Abdelwahed.
Since November, a robot named pepper has been on the job at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. When guests have questions or need directions, they can ask Pepper. They can also use the robot's touch screen to find the information they need. Pepper is able to talk with guests and entertain them with stories too. It can even tell what kind of mood they are in.
"Pepper provides our guests with information in an exciting and new way," says hotel manager Donald Bowman.
For a kid, being in the hospital can be boring and even scary. But a small robot called NAO is helping to make hospital stays easier. It was designed to keep people company.
A Tennessee doctor named Phil Parker bought a NAO robot three years ago. He programmed it to talk to and play with young patients. He brings it to hospitals to help sick kids. When kids get medical tests, NAO explains what is going on. The robots also reads to kids and plays games with them like rock, paper, scissors.
"The robot gets many kids to smile for the first time since they've been in the hospital," Parker says.
Other robots are being developed to help in places where it's hard or risky for people to go. For example, disaster areas can be full of rubble and other dangers. Engineers in Japan are building a robot called E2-DR to go into those areas and search for people who are hurt.
【1】In Mandarin Oriental hotel, guests can____________.
A. only get information simply by touching the robot's screen
B. feel entertained with the stories about Pepper.
C. experience an exciting and new way to get the information
D. know whether the robot is in high spirits or not.
【2】According to Phil Parker, the robot NAO in hospital____________.
A. is intended to help doctors treat patients
B. brings much comfort and happiness to many young patients
C. gives young patients some medical examination
D. is not actually as useful as expected
【3】From the last paragraph, we leam that____________.
A. robots will play a vital role in every aspect in our life
B. E2-DR proves to be very useful in rescue practice
C. human rescue workers will no Ionger be needed
D. rescue work in dangerous areas will become easier

C. Robots: Human Helpers
D. Robots: Our Best Friend
29、
We always enjoy pointing out some unusual holidays to add to your calendar. Now jot these down, learn something new and have fun!
Random Acts of Kindness Day （February 17）
If you have encountered a homeless person and given money, that's a random act of kindness. The idea of this day is to get lots of people doing something kind for someone they don't know with no expectation of getting anything in return. This concept is trickier with social distancing but even a big smile and a “hi!’’ from across the street qualifies.
I Forgot Day （July 2）
Did you forget to call Grandma on her birthday or return that soccer ball you borrowed from a friend three months ago? Today is a good day to clean the slate. Make a list of things you meant to do but forgot. Work through the list, and don't get discouraged if you don't accomplish everything in one day. Just remember to keep the list in a place where you'll see it. Otherwise, you know what will happen.
DOGust First （August 1）
If your family is one of the many that adopted dogs from animal shelters last year, you may not know, for example, Luna or Cooper's actual birthday. The North Shore Animal League thought of that problem in 2008 and picked today as the birthday of all shelter dogs. Give your pup extra love today, and consider what you can do to help other sheller dogs.
World Vegetarian Day （October 1）
It’s not hard to go without meat for one day, but how about one month? The North American Vegetarian Society asks people to help reduce greenhouse gases by pledging to cat no meat, fish or fowl （basically chicken or turkey） in October. The pledge is tricky for kids to make on their own because Mom and Dad are usually in charge of preparing meals. Ask them if you can participate or if the whole family could try it. You will probably be surprised about how many tasty meals are meatless.
【1】Which can be described as a random act of kindness?
A．John accepted a new job for a better salary.
B．Mr. Robert told a story in the lecture today.
C．The Smiths drove their children to school.
D．Sally said “hello” to a stranger in the lift.
【2】What does the author mean by the last sentence in “I Forgot Day”?
A．You may forget your to-do list.
B．You may finish all the tasks earlier.
C．You may miss the chance to celebrate.
D．You may make up with your friends.
【3】Which may you choose to have a birthday party for your pup?
A．February 17.
B．July 2.
C．August 1.
D．October l.
30、Sarah Ivermee is a mother from the UK who gave birth to her son Freddie back in 2011. _______, the little boy was born deaf in one ear and nearly deaf in the other.
In 2014, Freddie was given a cochlear implant (人工耳蜗) for his deaf ear, and he absolutely _______ it. Though Freddie was happy with his implant, Sarah quickly learnt that not all children in his situation accept implants _______.
“We learnt very quickly that not all families have had such a smooth ride, having lots of problems with children not _______ to wear their devices as they look ugly and _______ ,” Sarah said. “We did some _______ and found there was not a lot available to _______ the look of hearing devices and _______ there must be something we could do.” When Sarah _______ that a friend's 9-year-old daughter felt out-of-place while ____________ her device, she offered to decorate it for her, ____________ it into something the little girl loved. “She loves them and loves the fact that she can have ____________ designs that her friends don’t have,” Sarah said. This experience inspired Sarah. In 2014, she founded the company Lugs, which ____________ custom-made kits (配件) families can ____________ to decorate hearing devices and cochlear implants. Thanks to these kits, kids can decorate their devices with everything from flowers and butterflies to superheroes and cartoon characters.
“I thought there would be a lot of families ____________ with children who don’t want to wear their hearing devices, and I felt I had to ____________ ,” Sarah explained. “Knowing children are not only ____________ to wear their hearing devices but also ____________ to show them off makes it all worthwhile.”
The kits are ____________ the lives of families all over the world. One mother even said that she used a kit to decorate her three-month-old daughter’s device!

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.
The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.
While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.
“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
