21、They are called “sea parrots”, and sometimes “clowns (小丑) of the sea”!
Atlantic puffins (海鹦) are small seabirds which are around 25 cm in length. They have black and white feathers and a large parrot-like beak (鸟喙). The beak changes color during the year. In winter, the beak has a dull gray color, but it turns orange in spring!
Puffins spend most of their lives out at sea, resting on the waves when not swimming. They live on the eastern coast of Canada and the United States, and the western coast of Europe.
Puffins live off small fish such as herring, hake and sand eels. Puffins flap (拍) their wings up to 400 times a minute and speeding through the air at up to 88 km an hour. Wow! What’s more, puffins can dive down 60m under water in search of their favorite fish.
In spring and summer, thousands of puffins stay together on the coasts and islands of the North Atlantic Ocean to start a puffin family. They usually pair up with the same partner as before some may have been together for 20 years! Puffins dig out a hole usually in a grassy bank. Both parents take it in turn to incubate (孵化) the egg for the next 36-45 days!
Although puffins are not classed as an endangered animal, their population in some places is becoming smaller. The main reasons are overfishing, which can lead to a shortage of food for puffins, and pollution---especially oil spills (溢出). Not only does the oil make these beautiful birds sick, it harms their feathers.

【4】The population of puffins is becoming smaller because of _____.

C. ③④ D. ①④
22、Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my Blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing andthoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need tomove away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historicalthemes themes and ideas, Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the Classromm, I have a rule-no laptop, iPads, were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. So students assume that I’am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology oftenbreak concentration and allow for too themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that wideep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to myplan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

【4】According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.
A.keep students from doing independent thinking

A.is quite stubborn
B.will give up teaching history

24、Robotic Puppy
Roll over，sit and fetch aren’t commands normally given to a robot，but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy．
CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit，shake，dance and make all types of dog noises．It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner．“The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on，” said Sufer，CTO at WowWee．“It has its own life and own kind of intelligence．Even if you’re not around，it’s always doing something．”
CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball．The pup is Bluetooth enabled，which connects to a wristband worn by its owner．The wristband，similar to a watch，displays icons（图标）for different commands such as a thumb-up，which allows you to give your pup a digital belly ruB． With its owner wearing a smart wristband，it can even follow him around the room．
“We worked on CHIP for about five to six months，” Davin Sufer，told dailymail．com，“We typically come up with a concept，model and product and get it on shelves within a year．” The company plans to start shipping units by next fall，which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity．
The high-tech toy company made its debut（处女作）in 2004 by releasing the 1．5 foot RoboSapien，which sold millions of units．MiP，which hit shelves last year，is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents．Users can direct it，change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad． It’s loud，fast and active．
About 15 years ago，a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno，the Robotic Puppy．The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production．Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions，but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future．
