Like “porters (搬运工)”, they carried things and rubbish during tests at Taishan Mountain in Tai’an, Shandong, last year. In 2024, over 8 million people visited Taishan Mountain. They created about 24,000 tons of waste, according to Taishan Cultural Tourism Group. But the paths are not wide enough, so large machines can’t work there. Cleaners have to carry the rubbish down the mountain on their backs. This is where the robotic dogs come in! Each dog is able to carry 30 to 40 kilograms. It can stay balanced (平衡的) and move around things in its way. During the tests, the robot could reach the top of the mountain in two hours, while the average (平均的) time for adults without carrying anything is about four hours. The robot can work for four to six hours on a full charge (充电). Still, the company that built the robot said there are many things it needs to do to make the robot better, such as raising the height of its storage box (储物盒) and better sealing (密封) waste packages. 22．Where does the robotic dog work in the news above? A．Yellow Mountain. B．Taishan Mountain. C．Lushan Mountain. D．Hua Mountain. 23．Which is RIGHT according to the news? A．Cleaners have many machines to help them carry rubbish. B．The robotic dog can work for four to six hours any time. C．It’s hard for the robot to keep balanced when carrying things. D．The company still has many things to do to make better robots. 24．Which of the following can best describe the robotic dog? A．Helpful. B．Brave. C．Kind. D．Friendly. 五、任务型阅读 DIY Projects for Beginners Have you ever wanted to try DIY but didn’t know where to start? Here are three easy DIY projects that are perfect for beginners. Project 1: Handmade Greeting Cards Making handmade cards is a wonderful way to show someone you care. You will need cardstock paper, coloured pens, stickers, and glue. First, fold the cardstock paper in half to make the card base. Then, design the front of the card using pens and stickers. You can also glue on small decorations like buttons or ribbons. Write a personal message inside. This project takes about 30 minutes and requires no special tools. Project 2: Painted Flower Pots Painting flower pots is a simple and enjoyable craft. You will need a terracotta pot, acrylic paints, paintbrushes, and a clear sealant. First, clean the pot and let it dry. Then, paint the pot in your favourite colours. You can paint patterns, flowers, or even animals. Let the paint dry completely. Finally, apply a coat of sealant to protect the design. This project takes about 1.5 hours, including drying time. Project 3: Keychain Decorations Keychains are fun and useful gifts. You will need keyring rings, colourful beads, elastic string, and small charms. First, cut a piece of elastic string to about 20 cm. Then, thread beads onto the string in any pattern you like. Add a charm at the end. Tie the ends of the string together and attach the keyring ring. This project takes about 20 minutes and is great for making multiple gifts. 25．Read the passage and complete the table below.
