During the Games,the robot became useful "eyes"for many visitors who have trouble seeing.It could understand spoken words and lead the way safely.In busy places like stadiums and parks,the robot moved smoothly.It"saw" things in the way,such as chairs or people walking by,and quickly found a safer path.This helped blind visitors move around more easily and feel less worried. What makes this robot special is its six legs.They help it walk well on different terrains-inside buildings,on grass,or on streets.Besides,it does not always need the intemet to work.After the Games,the robot still helps people.Now it guides blind people in train stations, airports,and other public places.It can also tell users about traffic lights and help at home. Like Easton's story of the helping hand,this robot shows how a good idea can become helpful. Unlike expensive medical equipment,it is made to be light,safe,and not costly-something ordinary families can actually consider buying.This way,more people can use it.The robot does not just help with walking-it gives more freedom,safety,and friendship to those who need it. In short,this six-legged guide robot was more than just a star at the National Games.It showed us a future of smart and friendly technology.This kind of technology is inexpensive and can become a part ofeveryday life.Now,by helping blind people in stations,airports,and even at home,it is truly making the world safer,and warmer 36.How does the writer begin the passage?

C The Mayan number system appeared in the fourth century,which was about 1,000 years earlier than the time when the European number system was created.It is different from the Arabic number system with a base 10.The Mayan system had a base 20.This system is believed to have been used because the Mayans lived in such a warm area and there was hardly a need to wear shoes.20 was the total number of fingers and toes,so the system was workable.Therefore,there were two important numbers in this system.Besides 20,the other important number is 5,which had a connection with the number of fingers and toes on one hand or foot. The Mayan system used two symbols )A dot (.was used to mean the units (one to four) and a dash()meant five.The Mayans were also the first to create symbols of nothing (or zero).
