How did the sea horse get its name? It's not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse's tail, you might think "sea monkey" is a better name. Then there's the sea horse's pouch(口袋). "Sea kangaroo" might also be a good name for this fish.
Sea horse live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings(环境). A sea horse in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp(虾). For a fish that doesn't move around much, the sea horse eats a lot-- in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimp!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and it's the male(雄性的) sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen? Baby sea horse start out as eggs, which come from the female's(雌性的) body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch(孵化). Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.
Sadly, the number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium(水族馆) fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquarium. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.

An American company has built a new drone（无人机）that could improve the speed of deliveries（送交的货）.
The drone is very different from other unmanned aircraft.It is made almost completely out of cardboard and has no motor.It can be packed with materials and sealed up with tape.
Because the drones do not have a motor,they are designed to be dropped from airplanes.Hundreds of drones could be sent out at once.Then they could be automatically guided to where they are supposed to go.The company says these drones could then complete deliveries to different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers. The drones look bigger than the paper airplanes we used to make as kids.But this light flyer is not a toy.It is aerodynamically designed and equipped with a small computer,a battery and sensors to guide it to the ground.
The drones are being developed by Otherlab—a technology research company in San Francisco,California.It calls the drone a "Sky Machine."
The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour.Now,it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram,but future models are expected to carry larger loads.
One of the drone's main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery.This allows more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and operate.
The Otherlab development team has called its invention the "Ikea of drones."This is because it is packaged similarly to products from the Swedish furniture maker Ikea.The drone arrives as flat pieces of pre-cut cardboard that can be quickly and easily put together.
The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target,according to Otherlab. Unlike other drones,even a crash landing is acceptable.The company says the drones can also be reused.
Once the drone completes its delivery,it can be thrown away and the cardboard material will likely break down within a few months.
The company has received money from the U.S. Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones.The money came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.The agency is attempting to find the best delivery vehicles that can disappear after their missions are complete.The U.S. military has a need for delivery drones.But it wants to simplify and lower the cost of using them.Otherlab's Sky Machines are an attempt to fill that need.
Military drones can also be stolen and studied by others if found after use.Before they can truly disappear,the electronic materials inside must also somehow disappear.Researchers are still working on ways to get the technology itself to self-destruct.
1.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Why the new drone is invented.
B. What the new drone is equipped with.
C. How can the new drone get to the ground.
D. Why the new drone is designed like paper airplanes.
2.Why is the invention called the "Ikea of drone"?
A. Because it's a product made by Ikea.
B. Because it uses the idea from Ikea.
C. Because it's built at a low cost like furniture of Ikea.
D. Because it's made up of pre-cut cardboard.
3.Which of the following statements is the advantage of the new drone?
A. It can land near its target.
B. It has a light motor inside.
C. A crash landing is not acceptable.
D. Its load weighs far more than one kilo.
4.What about Otherlab's Sky Machines can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. They have been built by the US military.
B. Research is being carried out on their improvement.
C. They are now often stolen and studied by others after deliveries.
D. The electronic materials inside will destroy themselves after use.

"Guinness" is on Tuesday nights on Fox.It is a disgusting show that I regret watching.The producers seem to show the sickest records.There is nothing wrong with the book,and it's an honor to be in it,for the most part.The program,however,doesn't show the record for the person who lifted the most weight.Instead,they show the person who lifted 30 pounds with his ears and tongue,which was truly disgusting.Television can do without a show like this.

"The Wayans Bros.",an exciting comedy starring Shawn and Marion Wayans,airs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.In the show,Shawn and Marion play brothers who live together and own a news stand.Shawn,the smooth-talking one of the two,and Marion,the younger brother who is forever acting like a five-year-old,seem to have a conflict every week,but always resolve it with a brotherly hug.
"Gilmore Girls",now in its seventh (and final) season,is an amazing television show that follows the lives of the mother/daughter team of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.Lorelai got pregnant with Rory at the age of 16 and decided to move out of Hartford,Connecticut,to seek refuge in a small town nearby.She and Rory have a close relationship and share everything.
