Andrew Holleman,a 12-year-old boy,loved playing in the open land near his home.The land was
wet and forested,and was the home for the birds,other animals and many different plants.It was the
perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature.He had seen some redtailed hawks,red foxes,
wood turtles and other animals.He also found some special and beautiful flowers.
Suddenly it was told that the land would be changed and a lot of houses would be built on it.The
plants would be removed,the animals would run away and most would probably die.Then the wet soil
would be covered with concrete ()When he heard about the news,he was not happy.He was
very worried that the land and water would be polluted.
Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area,and how the houses would
affect the local environment.He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters.He
also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.
Although he was only 12 years old,he was full of courage and wisdom.Andrew's teachers
described him as gentle,shy and active.His classmates considered him as a smart boy because he knew

to door,to ask the people to sign,who did not want the houses to be built.In only one month,he got
the signatures(签名)of250 people.

In the state of Qin,there was a man called Shang Yang.He was a statesman(政治家)and
worked out many reforms(改革),like focusing(关注)on farming and giving rewards(奖励)to
soldiers who were successful at war.But these reforms were not easily carried out at first.Most people
didn't trust Shang.
To solve this problem,Shang came up with an idea.He put a thin wooden pole (at the
south gate of the capital of Qin.Many people came to see him.
Then,in front of the crowd,he said loudly,"Anyone who can move the pole to the north gate will
getl0 gold pieces.”
It was a simple job and the reward was large.However,some time passed and no one stepped
forward.They all thought Shang was joking.
Hearing no answer,Shang stepped forward and said,"The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces."
This offer was unbelievable.Finally,a man from the crowd came forward.He put the pole on his
shoulders and walked to the north gate.True to his word,Shang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that,the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang did at the south gate.They believed
he was a man of his word.So when Shang began carrying out his reforms,the people followed him.

DChinese scientists have made a very cool robot-GEAIR.It's the first
robot in the world that can help grow plants all by itself.This robot shows how
smart technology and plant science can work together to make farming better.
2GEAIR works in greenhouses.Imagine a robot walking among plants,
looking at flowers with its "eyes",which are really cameras.When it sees a flower,it uses its robot
arms to do something called pollination(授粉)一hat's like helping plants have“babies”to make
new crops.Before GEAIR,farmers had to do this by hand,which took a lot of time.But now,
GEAIR can do it quickly and carefully,just like a super-fast gardener!
3Farmers want crops that are strong,healthy,and productive.This is called hybrid breeding
(杂交育f种),where scientists mix different plants to make the best ones..But doing this by hand is
hard work.GEAIR makes it easier.For example,in soybeans,the robot can help create special plants
that make more beans.This could help feed more people and save farmers time and money.
4Scientists hope GEAIR will help make crops that can stand up to bad weather.This way,even if
the climate changes,we can still grow enough food.What's more,GEAIR is helping China lead the
way in smart farming.Maybe one day,robots like GEAIR will be in greenhouses all over the world.
·11·
5In the past,scenes of robots helping plants were only in science fiction movies.But now,
GEAIR has made that dream real.It shows that when we use science and technology,we can solve big
problems.

A.It can help make farming better.
B.It is used to show smart technology.
C.It was made by Chinese farmers.
D.It can grow plants well without plant science.
()10.What do Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly talk about GEAIR?
A.Its future development.
B.Its working abilities and uses.
C.Its importance in bad weather.
D.Its differences from other robots.
()11.What can we infer from the text?
A.Smart farming is widely used all over the world.
B.People have solved most climate change problems.
C.Farmers will no longer need to work in greenhouses.
D.GEAIR may have a good influence on food production.

A new 1,200-square-meter shop in Shanghai's Putuo is very popular with
elderly people.It opened in late 2024.The products in the shop sell very
well.Many elderly people,some even over 90 years old,come here from
different parts of the city with pieces of newspapers.This special shop is only
for the elderly.It helps them find tools and small things to make their daily life easier and more
comfortable
Inside the shop,it looks like a real home.There are areas where elderly people can try special
beds and toilet aids.These can help reduce knee pain.One of the most interesting places is about
“exoskeleton(外骨骼)robots'”.These are small machines that people wear to help them walk more
easily.Many elderly people are not good at buying things online.So there are kind workers in the shop
to show them how to use these products.In this way,they can try them first and make sure they like
them before buying.
The shop is not just about high-technology robots.It also sells everyday things that are hard to find
·12·
in other shops.For example,75-year-old Lin Lan comes here to look for warm trousers designed for
elderly people.Experts say this shop is very important.More than 37%of people in Shanghai are over
60 years old.By giving elderly people a place to touch and try things,the city helps them live
independently,stay active and join the modern world.

Once upon a time,there was a king who ruled a very rich country.

palace,he complained that his feet were very painful.It was the first time that the king had gone on
such a long trip.And the road to the palace was very rough and stony.Then he decided to ask his
people to cover the road with real leather ()This would need to kill thousands of cows,and
would surely cost a huge amount of money
·15…
Hearing the order,one of the king's servants summoned up (his courage to speak to the
king,"Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money?Why don't you just use a small
piece of leather to cover your feet?"
The king was angry at first,but he later agreed to the servant's suggestion-to make a pair of
“shoes”for himself.
There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story:To make this world a happy place to live,
you'd better change yourself-your heart,not the world.
41.What did the king complain when he was going on such a long trip?
42.How did the king feel when he heard the servant's suggestion at first?

him.“It's all right,”he replied..“I enjoy doing
some physical work.And it is always a pleasure to
do something for people."
