When I was little, it was once reported that an earthquake would hit the area where I lived in
South China. I was only about 7 years old then, and I didn’t know how dangerous an earthquake
could be. It was exciting for me to stay at the square until midnight. Another great thing was that I
didn’t have to go to school those days, so I had fun with my brother outside all day. I couldn’t
understand why my parents were worried at that time. Fortunately, the reported earthquake didn’t
come.
Now I’m 16 and I have seen how the earthquake shakes the buildings and kills people. When an
earthquake happens, I feel really anxious and I always give money and clothes to the people in
earthquakes.

Are you troubled by housework, such as cleaning tables or tidying your room A new robot is here to help! Now, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists at Stanford University in the US becomes popular online.
In the videos, we can see the robot preparing dishes by itself, from cutting vegetables to cracking (打破) eggs. It’s also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes.
Sounds good Well, another video maylet some people down-- Mobile Aloha isn’t good at doing housework on its own.
Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human“teaching”it. So it may break dishes, bump into (撞上) things and even burn a pot.
“The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time.”said the team after they did more studieson it. “For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, it’s far from perfect.”
In fact, AI robots are good at tasks such as math and playing chess, but they will be introuble when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha. For example, if its body doesn’t move correctly, even just with a small deviation (偏差), its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.
“Robots are not ready to take over the world,” the team said.
24. Where was the robot Mobile Aloha made
A. In China. B. In the UK. C. In the USA.
25. What do we know about the robot Mobile Aloha
A. It is good at doing homework.
B. It can water the flowers.
C. It hardly learns from human actions beforedoing housework.
26. Which is TURE according to the passage
A. The robot can always successfully move chairs.
B. Robots are prepared to take over the world.
C. AI robots is better at playing chess than cleaning.
27. In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage
A. Technology B. Travel. C. Food.
C
These days, we easily feel stressed as the work we need to do grows more and more. It’s important to know how to solve problems and find ways to relax.
First, we should try organizing our problems from most important to least important as well as mosturgent（紧急的） to least urgent. If some problems are both important and urgent, such as studying for a next-day test, do those things first. As soon as those are done, work on things that are important but not urgent, such as preparing for the final exams. After that, we can work on problems that are less important. Organizing our work this way helps a lot in knowing what to do first and not worrying about the rest, or we might easily feel overwhelmedwith so much work to do.
Sometimes we are still under pressureeven after sorting out (分类) our work. That’s OK. We can try to add some exercise to our weekly schedule. It doesn’t need to be a big trip to the gym, although that surely helps. It could be something as small as walking around the neighborhood for 10 to 20 minutes.
Finally, we can try meditation (冥想). Again, it can be a simple thing. Justset10 to 20 minutes with an alarm, sit straight, close our eyes, and focus only on breathing. If other thoughts come up, accept that they are there and let them fly away on their own. By trying these steps, we will feel relaxed and peaceful when finishing all of the work.
28. What kind of work should we do first
A. Both important and urgent.
B. Important but not urgent.
C. Less important.
29. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” mean
A. 激动的
B. 难以承受的
C. 无聊的
30. We can know that trying meditation____________.
A. is something special.
B. doesn’t need anything.
C. helps us to feel relaxed.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. How to sort out the work.
B. How to deal with stress.
C. How to do exercise.

Have you ever done or thought about volunteering before 32 In my case, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter (收容所) to help feed and walk dogs.
Back in 2021, some friends and I went to an animal shelter outside of Beijing. There, I was able to give food to the animals. 33 I also saw many kinds of other animals, such as rabbits and chickens. But our main goal (目标) was to help the dogs by giving them walks. Many of the dogs were kept in big cages (笼子) along with other dogs and ate from a big bowl together. I felt a little sad for the dogs because many of them looked old and needed a bath.
However, I made sure to give one of the dogs a good walk. I remember it was a big black dog with curly hair. The dog was very gentle, but it did not want to walk very far. 34 But when I took out a tennis ball to play fetch (捡球), it really enjoyed it. It was much fun watching the dog run through a group of ducks trying to get the ball back.
