21、Robots that can chat，find misplaced glasses，draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society．
Robots，such as the sound．sensitive Chapit，answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age．
Japan has one of the world’s fastest-ageing societies and the government predicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent．”Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to，”said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer．“Communication robots accompany people and don’t mind listening to the same stories over and over again．”
Matsumoto’s“Personal Mobility Robot，”equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons．using joysticks(操纵杆)or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs．
The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor．
Other robots，such as the award-winning“DiGRO”can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children．The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures，keeping children company while parents work．
While Chapit，a relatively simple robot，managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers，such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto，a professor at the University of Tokyo，struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects．
“We have developed a robot that can assist many people，but we still haven’t found a sponsor,”said Matsumoto，who added that the cost of the machine，if mass-produced，would be comparable to that of a car．”In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project，”he said．

22、 At just 40 years old, hip-hop star Kasseem Dean, more popularly known as Swizz Beatz, has amassed (积累)a track record, lifestyle and nearly $ 70 million net worth that would inspire most of us to retire early. So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and try projects that come with the risk of rejection?
During our interview for Uncommon Drive, a video series for USA & Main that seeks to find out the motivations and magic of world-class business people, Dean provided a memorable answer: "You only have so much time - once it's gone you don't get it back. Don't focus on money; focus on building something greater than yourself. If you're not making history, you're wasting your time on Earth."
When you look at his answer, you will learn two important lessons. The first is in "making history". Doing so requires awareness. You must fully understand what has and has not been achieved in the market you've entered. Dean makes every effort with the goal of creating something important that has not been done before and will be remembered for its impact beyond his years.
The second part of his statement is just as powerful. In this interview, he never once said he is "trying" to make history. Instead, he has told himself that no matter what difficulty there is, it's just going to happen. "I'm going to make history." Dean said.
After talking to Dean for nearly 45 minutes, it was clear to me that he has removed all ego(自我)from a statement that might otherwise be misread as false pride. I believe it's a brilliant hack - rather than focus on all the reasons why a project can't be realized, he has convinced himself of the possibility.
【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To list an example. B.To offer an explanation.
C.To lead to the main topic. D.To make a summary.
【2】What motivates Dean to continue to work hard?
A.His desire to be famous.
B.His wish to be wealthy.
C.His life goal to leave his mark on history.
D.His adventurous spirit and imagination.
【3】What can we learn about Dean in the interview?
A.He takes pride in his work.
B.He always believes in himself.
C.He can predict the possibility.
D.He gets prepared for his career.
【4】What's the title of the text?
A.How does Kasseem Dean face rejection?
B.Why doesn't Kasseem Dean want to retire?
C.How does Kasseem Dean make history?
D.What makes Kasseem Dean work hard?
23、Food，football and fashion—Milan has it a11．The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo，the theme of which is food and nutrition．
Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy．Rome is the most famous city in Italian history，Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers．Yet Milan can often be left off tourists’lists．But although some see Milan as the“ugly sister”of these cities，according to Lonely Planet，in 2015 the city is“suddenly back in fashion in a big way”．
The Milan Expo will look at the future of food，trying to answer the question of how Earth’s fast-growing population can be fed in the future．According to Lonely Planet website．“144 countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan，forming a mini city-within-a-city”．
Milan’s famous opera house，La Scala，normally closed in the summer，will also host daily performances during the expo，reported Fox News．
Not interested in opera?Don’t worry．Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium，home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years，both in Serie A and the European Champions League．
So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem“soulless”，as Lonely Planet said．it still has“a serious sense of history and place”．Many people will be discovering it this year，and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems．Will you?

24、From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠)，and a ship will hit a whale.
According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.
In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”
Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.
The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships’ crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.
Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里 / 小时），the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.
A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for money
B. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the sea
C. there is fewer fish in blue whales’ favorite feeding area
D. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequently
【2】Why is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the world's blue whales?
A. Because other blue whales will be scared away.
B. Because the number of the blue whales is so small.
C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.
D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.
【3】According to Sean Hastings，it’s inferred that .
A. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.
B. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.
C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.
D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.
【4】What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?
A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.
B. The world’s largest shipping lines.
C. Measures to protect the blue whales.
D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.

The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! " By rolling the ball I could where it went. This gave me an how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a new kind of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to them one by one. I also knew my limitations. It was no good trying something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made .
