21、 If you have ever been disappointed because you don’t have a good gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants.
The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted (盆栽的) plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; and if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.
The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding,” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”
According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency (趋向) towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.”
The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.
【1】What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?
A.It helps people do some gardening. B.It waters the plants through dancing.
C.It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight. D.It carries the potted plant with its hands.
【2】What does the author try to show through Paragraph 3?
A.The way plants spend their whole lives.
B.The common way people deal with plants.
C.The difference between plants and humans.
D.The cause of making the indoor plants’ helper.
【3】What does Sun Tianqi try to do using this technology?
A.To develop gardening skills. B.To draw people’s attention to plants.
C.To make plants experience move. D.To study the living conditions of plants.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.A New Market for Robots B.An Indoor Plants’ Helper
C.An Important Development in Gardening D.The Tendency of Gardening in the Future

23、The first thing that Valoy saw when she put on color-blind corrective glasses was the green grass and later, the red flowers. Valoy says it's unbelievable and she has struggled with certain topics, especially the painting class in school and she would even paint the ocean purple before that.
Valoy wasn't diagnosed with red-green color blindness until the fourth grade. “For the past 17 years, I've lived in a ‘black and white movie’,” the recent Louis E. Dieruff High School graduate says. But not anymore. The transformative moment all started with a public speaking class Valoy took. After she made an informative speech about growing up with her color deficiency(缺陷), her teacher, Sandy Kile, was inspired to teach the class a more important life lesson.
Kile made a suggestion that the class should reach out to companies that produced corrective glasses to see if they would donate a pair to Valoy. While Kile encouraged Valoy to write a description of living in a world with mostly shades of grey and brown, her classmates wrote statements about why she needed the glasses. “I didn't expect much for that,” Valoy says. “Professor Kile truly believed it was going to happen but we were not sure.”
It wasn't so surprising when the first company turned down their request. Then, the class received reply from the founder of Pilestone Inc., offering Valoy and six other community members his glasses for free.
Valoy is thankful to Kile and her classmates. But Kile says that she is very glad the students have the chance to realize the significance of lending a hand to those in need, and that being able to aid Valoy in changing her life is something she will never forget the rest of her life.
【1】Why is Valoy's painting class mentioned?
A．To stress Valoy's serious attitude to study.
B．To give an example of Valoy's sufferings.
C．To prove the importance of wearing glasses.
D．To prevent people from having color blindness.
【2】How did Valoy feel when Kile offered the advice?
A．Uncertain.
B．Excited.
C．Frightened.
D．Hopeful.
【3】What do we know about Valoy?
A．She made a speech to call for donation.
B．She wasn't the only one to get the glasses.
C．She only understood black and white movies.
D．She didn't know her problem until she was 17.
【4】What did Kile try to teach the class?
A．The magic of creativity.
B．The power of great efforts.
C．The benefit of technology.
D．The value of offering help.

"Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome (自闭症)."
I screamed at my dad， "Tell me what it is!" He_______ that I have a mild form of brain disorders， which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people. I wasn't sure exactly what he_______ ， but it didn't matter. I just wanted to try to _______my shock and go back to the way things were _______ I knew.
But even though I wouldn't consciously think of the news， Asperger's still destroyed my confidence and made me _______ and isolated. I felt like an outsider ﹣ not just because Asperger's made it hard for me to make friends， but because now I had this _______.

It's funny， the first time I thought something was _______ was not because of what I couldn't do ﹣ it was because of what I could do.

And I can________ pay attention to two things at once.
Don't get me wrong. Asperger's can be very confusing. For years I felt like a butterfly ________ in its cocoon (茧)， waiting to emerge. It took years of work with a psychologist to ________the difficulty of making friends.
I'm not going to let Asperger's create ________for me. That's why I am happy to have found out about it and faced my ________. Asperger's is a metaphor (象征) forlife: We all have ________ but the key is to be able to have the ________ to face what's bad about them and still find what's good.
