21、They’re WILD animals
By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen
March 11, 2010 (3) Comments
The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.

Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?
2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AM
It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.
3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AM
Alcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?
【1】In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.
A. the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the danger
B. she didn’t know the bear was a wild animal
C. she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters
D. she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear
【2】TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.
A. may have been drunk
B. may be a little stupid
C. was addicted to wine
D. fed wine to the bear
【3】tk421 means a drunk person ________.
A. should be forbidden to enter the zoo
B. usually gets himself into trouble
C. is often fond of making up stories
D. usually likes to show himself off
【4】What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets?
A. Kind. B. Illegal.
C. Loving. D. Stupid.
22、Getting more followers is something we usually associate with social media or micro messaging apps. But soon we could all have a new type of follower—a robotic one.
Dozens of robots and technology fans gathered in Boston, US, earlier this month for the Robot Business conference. The latest developments in the world of robotics were shown to the public, and this time the trend was robots following people.
Perhaps the most exciting development on show was the ability of drones (无人机) to follow you from the air, acting as your own personal cameraman or photographer. One example is 3-D Robotics’ Iris+ drone, developed by a US-based company.
The drone is fitted with cameras and has a “follow me” function. It connects with your GPS-enabled Android device, like a mobile phone. Then it flies and follows you around, shooting action film of you from above. The software in the drone makes sure that you’re always in the center of the frame.
It can keep working for 15 minutes, as long as there aren’t too many trees for it to crash into. This could be exciting for anyone who loves action sports or wants to be the star of their own short film.
But what if you want to be one of those celebrities (名人) who have helpers carrying all their bags and doing all their chores? A robot called Budgee can help.
Budgee, made by 5 Elements Robotics, is literally a basket on wheels.It is designed to help elderly and disabled people, or simply anyone who doesn’t have enough arms for grocery bags, Wired magazine reported.It can carry up to 22.7 kg of items.
To make Budgee follow them, its owner will have to wear a small device and use an app to set the distance between themselves and the robot.Budgee even sends a text message when it can’t keep up with its owner.
“I want you to look at the robot like he’s your buddy, he’s your friend. There’s a relationship you develop with the robot,” Wendy Roberts, CEO of 5 Elements Robotics, told gigaom.com.
It might not be quite the same as robotic assistants we’ve seen in movies such as Disney’s Wall-E, where robots cater for our every need, but that idea doesn’t seem quite so far-fetched now.
【1】The drone developed by a US-based company can ________.
A. fly around you and take videos from above
B. decide who to put in the center of the frame
C. be used to take pictures and make phone calls
D. keep working for 15 minutes in any conditions
【2】According to the article, Budgee is most likely to be targeted at ________.
A. staff in supermarkets
B. elderly and disabled people
C. those who love action sports
D. celebrities who need a close buddy
【3】The main purpose of the article is to ________.
A. tell the reader about two new types of robots
B. urge people to buy the drone and Budgee
C. call on people to develop relationships with robots
D. analyze why the two types of robots can lead a trend

24、Nalini Nadkarni didn’t play with Barbies as a girl. She was too busy climbing the maple trees in her front yard in Bethesda.
“When I was growing up in Bethesda, we tried to live simply,” Nadkarni, a University of Utah biology professor who studies rainforest canopies, said. “And a Barbie didn’t quite fit in with living a simple life.” Instead, said Nadkarni, she and her sisters were encouraged by their parents to create their own fun. For Nadkarni, that meant tree climbing.
Nadkarni is doing research in Costa Rica on trees. It has never been more important, Nadkarni said, to share what she has learned with a new generation.
“In 2003, I’d been thinking of ways to help get girls more interested in science, and I looked to my young daughter. I knew that girls wanted to play with Barbies and look like Barbies,” Nadkarni said. “But what if Barbie had field clothes on and came with a little booklet about canopy plants?” Mattel, the company that makes Barbies, wasn’t interested in her idea, but she persisted. She finally created her own treetop dolls. Mattel agreed that she could produce the dolls on a small scale.
Last year, Nadkarni was thrilled to learn that National Geographic was working with Mattel to come up with a new line of adventure dolls, and that they wanted her advice.
Since sales of the explorer Barbies began in the summer, Nadkarni said, she has heard from girls coast to coast, thanking her for her work in rainforests and asking questions about how they can make a difference to help trees in their own communities.
“When I started hearing from these young kids, I realized they truly understood the terrible situation our forests were in,” she said. “They really care, and they want us grown-ups to do something to save our environment. I love climbing trees and learning all I can about them. But getting children excited about protecting our forests is one of the most important things I do.”
【1】What can we learn about Nadkarni when she was a child?
A．She found joy in climbing trees.
B．She used to play with Barbies.
C．Her parents were strict with her.
D．She was asked to behave like a boy.
【2】Why did Nadkarni want to work with Mattel?
A．To amuse her daughter.
B．To attract girls to Barbies.
C．To represent her scientific achievements.
D．To fire girls’ enthusiasm for science.
【3】What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph?
A．Regret.
B．Delight.
C．Nervousness.
D．Astonishment.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A．Nadkarni created the explorer Barbies.
B．Girls thanked Nadkarni for the new dolls.
C．The explorer Barbies have a great influence on girls.
D．Young kids don’t care about the environment.
