26、 World Book Day has arrived! It is celebrated on April 23 in most countries, but in the UK, it is usually in March. This year, our school invited a writer to talk to us about her life as an author.
The author’s name is Jo Cotterill. She is an English author who lives in Oxfordshire with her husband and daughters. She has won many awards for writing books for children and teenagers.
In her speech, Cotterill told us a lot about her childhood, as well as her love for unicorns (独角兽), her previous job as an actress and, of course, her books. She also showed us some of her award-winning books and described their plots (情节) for us. I was fascinated by her book A Library of Lemons. It is a story about a girl, Calypso, whose father stops believing in friendship and love after his wife dies. All he believes in are books – he teaches his daughter to close her heart and only love books as well.
As you can see from the book’s title, Cotterill likes to play with words and invent new titles for her books. In fact, her writing career started with inventive (别出心裁的) titles. She said that sometimes she would read in bed on a Sunday and think about interesting titles for new books. She has another book called A Storm of Strawberries. Do you think this title is creative? I simply loved Cotterill’s talk. It inspired me to take up my pen again and keep writing.

27、Many teachers believe that hands-on experiences are the best way to learn. A group of students in the United Sates is putting that belief to the test.
The students are from the Stevens Institute of Technology. They successfully designed and built a robot for discovering mines at the bottom of the sea. The underwater robot is called Perseus II. It costs about $15,000 to build. The students made the robot to answer a challenge from the U.S. Department of Defense(国防部).
The students use a video game controller to direct its movements. Devices known as
thrusters enable the robot to go up, down and toward its target in the water. Video cameras on the robot send images back to a computer through a 13-meter-long cable(电缆). Perseus II also has a set of lasers(激光), they are used to measure the size of an object.
The robot is the creation of five college students. They worked for over six months to design and build Perseus II.
"Their goal was to go down and find the mine and not only just find it but provide information to an expert on the surface so he or she could make a decision whether it was something dangerous or not before they removed it," Michael DeLorne said.
Perseus II was successfully tested in Florida with similar robots built at other engineering schools. In a separate development, new students at the Stevens Institute of Technology have already started on the next project. It is a flying vehicle they are calling Perseus III.
【1】Why did the five college students make the robot?
A. To go up, down and toward its target underwater.
B. To provide information to an expert on the surface.
C. To answer a challenge from the Department of Defense.
D. To prove hands-on experiences is the best way to learn.
【2】Which of the following is NOT part of Perseus II?
A. a set of lasers B. a computer
C. video cameras D. a video game controller
【3】.What does the word “mine” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean ?
A. 宝藏 B. 海鱼 C. 矿井 D. 水雷
【4】What can we infer(推断) about Perseus III according to the passage?
A. Perseus III may be used in the sky.
B. Perseus III has been successfully tested in Florida.
C. Perseus III will cost more money and time.
D. Perseus III and Perseus II are made by the same students.
