Robotic Puppy
Roll over,sit and fetch aren’t commands normally given to a robot,but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.
CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit,shake,dance and make all types of dog noises.It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner.“The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on,” said Sufer,CTO at WowWee.“It has its own life and own kind of intelligence.Even if you’re not around,it’s always doing something.”
CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball.The pup is Bluetooth enabled,which connects to a wristband worn by its owner.The wristband,similar to a watch,displays icons(图标)for different commands such as a thumb-up,which allows you to give your pup a digital belly ruB. With its owner wearing a smart wristband,it can even follow him around the room.
“We worked on CHIP for about five to six months,” Davin Sufer,told dailymail.com,“We typically come up with a concept,model and product and get it on shelves within a year.” The company plans to start shipping units by next fall,which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.
The high-tech toy company made its debut(处女作)in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien,which sold millions of units.MiP,which hit shelves last year,is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents.Users can direct it,change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad. It’s loud,fast and active.
About 15 years ago,a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno,the Robotic Puppy.The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production.Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions,but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.
1.According to Sufer,the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that _____.
A .it is loaded with special sensors
B. it can make all kinds of dog noises
C. it has quick response to the commands
D. it can do something without instructions
2.CHIP can follow its owner with the help of _____.
A. a watch
B. a smart wristband
C. pointy ears
D. blue LED eyes
3.From the passage,we can know_______.
A. CHIP can be bought in the store now

C. Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppy
D. MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppy

Last month,my younger sister Michelle,four of my friends and I held our first charity art exhibitions.The exhibitions, containing 140 paintings,raised 44,000 yuan,all donated to Stepping Stones,a charity that supports poor children in China.
Ever since l was a little girl, I have been in love with art.I have always been fascinated with the idea of creating beauty and emotion-how imagination can transform a simple piece of paper into something beyond the possibilities of the real world.I watched others create magic by simply moving their hands,and felt thrilled as I gradually learned to do this myself.
Passion results in creation.In nine years,I had accumulated more pieces than I could count.My finished paintings were set aside,gathering dust as time passed.So I decided to hold exhibitions to find a home and some appreciation for my artwork.
Nonetheless,I was extremely nervous.After all,I am only a l5-year-old child who has a passion,but not necessarily one who creates artwork that others want to buy.
However,the turnout was more than I could ever have imagined,and the amount of money we raised quadrupled(四倍于)our original target.We were very lucky to find a charity,Stepping Stone,that would show us exactly how our money would be used:to teach English to poor children in the country.I was even offered an opportunity to teach the children myself.
Through this experience,I not only gained more confidence in my art,but also discovered its impact.I realized a paintbrush could paint not only a canvas,but also new opportunities for others who don’t have as many choices in who they want to be,or what they want to do.Although this cannot transform the world,this may transform the world for one child,or even more.
1.What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Moving hands. B.Painting.
C.Changing the world. D.Using imagination.
2.By saying “Passion results in creation”, the author means she
A.decided to visit exhibitions of young artists
B.found a new interest besides painting
C.painted many pieces in nine years
D.created artwork that others want to buy
3.What can you know according to the last two paragraphs?
A.Stepping Stone is an educational organization.
B.Art changed the life of the author and others in a way.
C.Her original donation was expected about 44,000 yuan.
D.The author realized she had an advantage over others.

The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’ (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring.

As I was starting there I become aware of an elderly women, with untidy hair,wearing layers upon layers of old clothing, hunchbacked(弯背的) behind me in line.
