1、 At just 12 years old, Leonardo Nicanor Quinteros is still in middle school, 1. but he has already run his own free school. He helps other children with their studies.
Leonardo loves to study. After seeing some of his classmates trying to keep up at school, he decided to do something about it. Last year, he told his grandmother that he wanted to have his own school. 2. 他要奶奶帮他把学校建在他们家隔壁。She agreed. Today, the free school has nearly 40 students. The boy acts as teacher and headmaster. 3. He is proud that what he does has already made a big difference to many of the children there.
The school is not much to look at. It's made mostly of adobe(土砖) and is pretty small. 4. 但是,在邻居们的帮助下,学校正变得越来越好。Leonardo lives 20 minutes away from his own school. But every day he gets on his bicycle after coming home from school and rides to his own school. He teaches classes on different subjects, like math and grammar. Sometimes, 5. when his students cannot come, he gives the classes at night to make sure they don't get behind on their studies.
Leonardo does his best to help students improve their subjects. Many admit (承 认) that they have improved a lot. “He helped me to pass the tests, now I'm in Third Grade,” one of the students said.

27、 Programming Pain
Robots are useful and taking place of humans in some areas because they never get tired and can't feel pain. However, some researchers believe it's a good idea to program robots to feel pain.
Researchers from Leibniz University of Hannover in Germany are working to develop an artificial(人造的)robot nervous system to teach robots how to feel pain. "Pain is a system that protects us," said Johannes Kuehn, one of the researchers. "When we try to avoid the pain, it helps us not get hurt.”
Think about how many injuries you would receive if you couldn't feel pain. Even though pain hurts, it helps us avoid danger and treat our wounds. The same will be true for robots. As a great number of people work closely with robots, the robots must behave in a safer manner. Kuehn believes that by protecting robots from damage(伤害),they'll be protecting people as well. Damage,to robots if left unseen could lead to workplace accidents.
Rather than feel pain, some robots are designed to show pain or see it in others. Asada, an engineer at Osaka University in Japan, and his workmates have made sensors (传感器)that pick up many types of touch signals(信号).These touch and pain signals can turn into emotions and expressions on a robot’s face. Asada believes that these systems could finally lead to robots seeing the pain on human faces, an important skill for robots designed to care for elderly people, for example.
Antonio Damasio, a professor at the University of Southern California, argues that programming robots with a sense of pain may cause an artificial sense of feeling to develop. But he says that this communication is not the same thing as a robot truly feeling and expressing emotions or pain. If one day, robots could actually feel as humans do, Damasio has a suggestion for the number one rule for robots: Feel good.
【1】What does the word in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The feeling of pain. B.The injury we receive.
C.An artificial system. D.A new kind of robot.
【2】Which is the right process to show and see the pain?
① Turn signals into expressions.
② Notice pain on human faces.
③ Make some sensors.
④ Pick up touch signals.
A.③④①② B.③①②④ C.②③①④ D.②④①③
【3】What can express Antonio Damasio's attitude(态度)about the program?
A.Hopeless B.Opposite C.Expected D.Worried
【4】The aim of programming robots to feel pain is ________
A.to take place of humans B.to avoid human accidents
C.to control robots completely D.to serve humans better
28、A special delivery
Ben and Sally lived in California with their two d【1】. Ben liked travelling. One summer, he went to Africa on a trip, but Sally stayed home with the girls. Ben and his friends owned a company. People at the company liked to play j【2】 on each other.
One day, Ben’s friends wanted to play a joke on Ben and Sally. So they sent a letter to Sally, saying he would send her a s【3】 gift and Sally should take good care of it. On the s【4】 day, Sally also got a phone call. The caller told her that a delivery was coming. At one o’clock, a truck stopped in front of Sally’s house. The truck driver gave Sally a rope. An animal was t【5】 to the rope. It was a baby elephant! The elephant ran into Sally’s yard, and it began eating grass.
Then the driver drove away. Sally stood there and held the rope. She asked h【6】, “What can I feed an elephant with? Bananas?” After a while, a policeman came. He said, “It’s unlawful to have a w【7】 animal here.” Then the policeman gave Sally a ticket.
Ben’s friends were hiding in the backyard and laughing. They had planned e【8】 perfectly. They had rented the elephant from a z【9】 and asked the policeman to write the ticket! Ben’s friends also made a film of everything. They wanted Ben to watch the video.
When Sally learned about the truth, she couldn’t help l【10】.
29、The first time I remembered noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He ______ me with a puzzle—all because he waved to me like someone does on seeing a close friend. There was a big, ______ smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to ______ his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had ______ me for someone else. By the time I was quite sure that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.
Then one day I found out the truth. As I drove near to school he was standing in the middle of the road ______ his stop sign. I was in line behind four cars. After the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars through. To the first car he waved and smiled in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same ______ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a businessman, gave a short wave back. Each of the following car of kids on their way to school responded heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with ______. So far I haven’t seen anyone ______ to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) ______ to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His cheerfulness armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the ______ of the whole neighborhood.
