A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home.
These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created a robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. The child can take part in classroom activities from wherever she/he is recovering—whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras make communicating easy. It was designed to be tough. It is water resistant and can take a fall from a desk without damage.
Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera hooked up to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.
And robots are, quite simply, cool. The robot just became available to the public. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 2?
A. freed B. tired C. banned D. separated
2.What can we know about AV1?
A. It can go to school on its own.
B. It is small and looks like a kid.
C. It can replace children to attend classes.
D. It was created by Dolva and Aabel.
3.How are the movements of AV1 controlled?
A. By using a tablet or phone. B. By joining in classroom activities.
C. Through a small speaker. D. Through a small camera.
4.Who is AV1 mainly designed for?
A. Children who have just recovered from illnesses.
B. Children who can’t go to school for a long time.
C. Children who are bored with going to school.
D. Children who can’t see, hear or speak.

Nowadays, a lot of people are unwilling to help others. However, Liu Fang acted different. Last Sunday afternoon, on her way back school, Liu Fang came across an old man lie on the ground, seriously hurt in the leg. She immediately stopped, calling 120 and gave first aid. Soon, the ambulance came and took the man to hospital. When anything was OK, she left for school. Such is Liu Fang, the helpful person. Thought there might be misunderstanding or even trouble when we help others, but yet I strongly believe that she has done the right thing. As responsible citizens, it is our duty to help people in needs. Also, if you don’t offer your help when others are in trouble, what can you expect help from others when you were in trouble?

About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project. All of them felt really desperate due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, “Sir, I’ve promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. m.” His boss replied, “OK. You’re permitted to leave the office early today.”
The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?” His wife replied, “You don’t know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.”
What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he’s promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it’s done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way, can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other than the mastermind behind India’s successful nuclear weapons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India.
1.The scientist asked for an early leave because ________.
A. he felt increasingly desperate about his work

2.The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife was ________.
A. ready to serve dinner for him B. dissatisfied with his coming home late
C. grateful to his kind- hearted boss D. delighted to see him back home
3.The boss took children to the exhibition ________.
A. when it was too late for the scientist to do so
B. when the man’s wife asked him to do so
C. because the scientist was absorbed in his work
D. because he also wanted to see what was on show
4.All the scientists stayed loyal to their boss ________.

Visualize(想象)Success
A proven way to build your confidence is to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully．Visualization can not only help you perform better in the tests but can help you remember facts．You can create detailed situations that involve the information you’re trying to remember．4.

Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing to tell you anything about the 10th English Speaking Contest I took part in it last week in our school.
I got the “Top Ten Prize” out of the 30 competitors ,who was completely beyond my imagination. A moment I heard the final result, I couldn’t believe my ears and jumped with joy, feeling amazing. Since the contest, whenever you had free time, you would help me practice my spoken English. You communicated with me, and corrected my pronounce. What’s more, you taught me a lot of speaking skills and made me full of confidence. If you haven’t helped me, I couldn’t have achieved such a good result. I have benefited this contest a lot.
All in all, thank you for which you have done for me.
Yours,
Wang Yuan
