21、I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.
I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote: "The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.

23、Until now, robots have carried their pretty weak brains inside them. They've received instructions-such as take this, or carry that-and done it. Not only that, but they've worked in environments such as factories and warehouses specially designed or adapted for them.
Cloud robotics promises something entirely new: robots with super-brains stored in the online cloud. The thinking is that these robots, with their intellectual impact, will be more flexible in the jobs they do and the places they can work, perhaps even speeding up their arrival in our homes.
Google Cloud and Amazon Cloud both have robot brains that are learning and growing inside them. The dream behind cloud robotics is to create robots that can see, hear, understand natural language and the world around them.
The Fetch Cloud Robotics Platform is a cloud-driven Autonomous Mobile Robot(AMR) solution that addresses material handling and data collection for warehouses.
One of the leading players in cloud robotics research is Robo Brain, a project led by researchers at Stanford and Cornell universities in the US. Funded by Google, Microsoft government institutions and universities, the team are building a robot brain on the Amazon cloud, learning how to integrate different software systems and different sources of data.
Another one to watch is the Everyday Robot Project, by X, the 'moonshot factory' at Alphabet, Google's parent company. The project aims to develop robots intelligent enough to make sense of the places we live and work. They're making headway too-testing cloud robots in Alphabet offices in Northern California. So far, the tasks are simple, such as sorting the recycling(pretty slowly says X), but it's the shape of robots to come.
【1】What's the difference between common robots and cloud robotics?
A.They can do entirely different jobs.
B.They are controlled by different instructions.
C.Cloud robotics have larger brain than common robots.
D.Cloud robotics can "think" of themselves while common robots can't
【2】What's the author's attitude towards cloud robotics?
A.Appreciative
B.Negative
C.Indifferent
D.Disagreeable
【3】Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A.Nowadays, robots can work everywhere.
B.Cloud robotics promises to help people in families.
C.Robo Brain got money from Google, Microsoft and X.
D.Robots by Google Cloud and Amazon Cloud can do the same things,
【4】What's the best title for the passage?
A.Future is Coming.
B.Robots: Human Being's Assistants.
C.Cloud Robotics: the Robots' Future.
D.Cloud Robotics: the Key of AI
24、Ways to Improve Participation (参与) in Your Virtual Classroom (虚拟课堂)
During remote learning this spring, students in Shai Klima’s high school class led their own discussions over Google Meet. 【1】 After that students shared their responses at the start of the meeting as a jumping-off point for a broader class discussion.
While students conversed(谈话) on video, Klima listened and drew lines on a sheet of paper tracking the flow of the conversation, resulting in a spider web. At the end of the discussion, Klima shared the drawing over video. 【2】 And they learned about who talked, who listened and who built on the ideas of others.
“It has been successful as a means to get kids to credit their peers with helping them come up with new ideas, which helps build a friendly relationship,” said kilma.
【3】 After giving lessons last spring, Paul France had his third--grade students use the Google Chat feature to ask and answer questions or type in emojis, like a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, to show whether they understood a concept. To create structure around the responses, he guided his students in creating norms around using the chat feature. 【4】 France said the practice helped him check for student understanding and pushed students to engage more with the content.
Kindergarten teacher Ruth Calkins, meanwhile, used Zoom chat when holding live lessons with her kindergarten students. She said they enjoyed typing “T” or “F” for true and false questions while answering math problems in the chat box. 【5】 Typing responses also provided a lot of keyboard practice for her young students.
A.This strategy is terribly useful and significant.
B.Then he asked students to reflect on the experience.
C.Using chat to check for understanding is one useful strategy.
D.Before the live class, students answered questions independently.
E.Some even attempted to write sentences in response to the questions.
F.They decided as a group to use only one emoji at a time, for example.
G.They didn’t like to pay more attention to these questions.
25、This is the story of Moyo, a rescued elephant in Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery, a local non-governmental organization called Wild Is Life.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
I remember being happy for my friend Avery when she won the karate (空手道) championship we’d both competed in. But I’m embarrassed to admit I was also pretty envious! But when she and I tried out for Alice in Wonderland, though, things went the opposite way.
“I really hope I get picked to be Alice,” said Avery.
“You’d make a great Alice!” I said. “I don’t care what part I get as long as I’m in it.” “So you’d be happy to have a small part like the Dormouse?” she asked.
“Exactly!” I said.
A few days later, Avery and I raced over to the theater office, where the director had posted the cast list.
“Wow!” said Avery. “You got the part of Alice and I got the part of the Dormouse.”
“That can’t be right,” I said. “There must be some mistake!”
But I really and truly was given the part of Alice. I’m pretty sure the reason I’d done well is that I hadn’t been nervous at all during the audition (试镜). And the reason I hadn’t been nervous is that it hadn’t even occurred to me that I could get the major role.
“Do you want to come over after school and we can practice our lines?” I asked.
“You mean practice your lines?” Avery said, not even looking at me. “No, thanks. I’m pretty busy this week.”
“OK,” I said. “How about some day next week?”
“Sorry,” she mumbled. “I’m pretty sure I’m busy forever.”
That night at dinner, after my parents congratulated me for getting the lead role, they asked how I felt about it.
“Well, I’m confused,” I said. “Avery was so upset that I was picked to be Alice, she pretty much threw away our friendship.”
“Hmm,” said my mum. “Arizona, don’t you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend?” “Sometimes when our friends do well, we feel envious and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time and understanding. I bet she’ll come around before too long.”
Over the following rehearsals (排练), Avery kept ignoring me on purpose.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She smiled. “I think I might be free on Thursday.”
