Ever feel like no one really understands you well? “ Pepper” could be about to change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions(情感识别功能), Pepper can react to people when it is near them－making jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese.
The man-like robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a tablet computer（平板电脑） set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.
Pepper can examine facial expressions(面部表情)，human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework on the cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.
Pepper gets power from love inside a family. Not only is he making jokes, makingthem laugh, it can also help people when they are in trouble. In a natural accident, it can help make those people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.
Pepper goes on sale in Japan for around $2,000 in February 2015. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling Peppers, they want the robots to store more knowledge, to do better in gettingalong with human.

THE HISTORY OF LIVING IN SPACE
Space travel is nothing new. The first spacecraft with a human on board blasted into space In 1961. since then, people have not only been travelling to space, but many of them have also lived there for extended periods.
Food
All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent to the space station, along with the astronauts, by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be preserved by dehydration or canning.
The space station does not have a freezer to preserve food, but It does have a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh.
Astronauts also eat many other foods such as cereals, cereal bars, nuts and dried fruit that do not need any special preparation.
Eating
Astronauts have a set timetable each day. This tells them when to do everything, including when to have their meals. At meal preparation time, they start getting their food ready, which often includes adding water to re-hydrate the dehydrated foods.
Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tricky. Astronauts sometimes have to strap themselves and their food into place. Because of lack of gravity, astronauts cannot use ground salt and pepper, and all drinks must be taken from bottles. They also have to be careful that crumbs do not fly off and get stuck in vents and instrument panels.（选自《九年级下册新理念英语阅读》）

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the ocean,'' she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert.
“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.
“The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes.”
Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.
1.Where did the little stream aim to go?
A. To the desert B. To the mountain C. To the ocean D. To the air
2.What did the stream think when she reached a desert?
A. She thought she couldn’t cross the desert.
B. She believed she could cross the desert.
C. She thought she knew well about the desert.
D. She started to worry about herself.
3.What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指的是)?
A. The desert. B. The nature. C. The breeze. D. The stream.
4.What did the stream do in the end?
A. Crossed the desert. B. Stopped trying. C. Failed to get to the ocean. D. Died.
5.What is the main idea of the story?
A. The road to success is not always easy.
B. We should do the right thing whatever others say.
C. Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream’s.
D. To succeed, we should change the way we used to be.
