When Kai saw elderly neighbours struggle with heavy shopping bags, he came up with an idea. He searched online for useful designs (设计), but many videos gave    1    advice. Some even said such a helper was impossible to make.

As a boy who loved to look things up and test new ideas, Kai refused to    2    the opinion at once. He set himself a big    3   : to design a simple carrying tool. First, he collected many materials and began to    4    which ones were strong and light enough for his cart.

Did you notice how nature sometimes repeats itself? Something that repeats is called a pattern. There are many patterns for you to study and learn.

Look around you. Patterns are everywhere. You may see bright and colorful patterns if you look at fish in the sea. In a bee’s honeycomb, the six-sided shape is repeated many times. Some leaves always have five points on them.

Listening carefully, you will find a noisy world. Dogs bark, the rain falls and the wind blows. Are these patterns? Of course! Sounds that repeat are patterns. A cricket (蟋蟀) uses its wings to make repeated chirping (啁啾叫) sounds. Do you know that a cricket’s chirp changes with the temperature? The hotter it is, the more chirps a cricket will make.

Try to find out how living things grow around you. Seeds (种子) grow into plants. A butterfly begins life as an egg. Each living thing has its own pattern as it grows. When a human baby is born, it is small. With time, the baby learns to lift its head and learns to roll over. Finally, the baby learns to stand up and walk. This kind of pattern is called a pattern of development.

If something happens over and over, it, too, forms a pattern. For example, you get up at 7:00 every morning. You get dressed and then eat breakfast at 7:30 a. m. If you repeat this many times, it becomes a pattern. Having a music class every Monday is a pattern. So is going to school five days a week and having Saturday and Sunday off.

It seems as if the world is full of patterns. Just think—without patterns, the world would be much harder to study!

11. What makes the pattern in a bee’s honeycomb?

A. The shape. B. The color. C. The taste. D. The weight.

12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Patterns you can see. B. Patterns you can hear.

C. Patterns you can smell. D. Patterns you can touch.

13. Which picture shows “a pattern of development”?

A.  B.  C.  D.

14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A. eating breakfast at 7:30 B. getting up at 7:00

C. the morning habit D. going to school each weekday

15. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To share knowledge of patterns.

B. To discuss when patterns were found.

C. To explain why patterns are beautiful.

Nowadays, AI is changing our daily lives in many ways. A good example is a smart restaurant in Shanghai that uses AI technology to serve customers. This restaurant shows how technology can make life easier and more interesting.

The restaurant is located in the Hongqiao area. It covers about 130 square meters and serves around 300 people every day. The restaurant is especially popular. Most customers are elderly people living nearby or office workers from the area.

When customers enter the restaurant, they order food on screens. If someone doesn’t know what to choose, a friendly robot can give him some advice. After ordering, robots start to prepare meals like Gongbao Chicken and Mapo Tofu. The robots control the cooking temperature perfectly, keeping the food warm for both eat-in and takeaway.

When the meal is finished, people put their plates on a smart counter. The system automatically (自动地) recognizes the dishes and calculates the total price. Payment is easy—people can use cards or online payment. The whole process is fast and only needs one or two human workers to give a hand.

The prices are very low. A meat dish costs only 8 yuan, and a vegetable dish is 3.5 yuan. One elderly customer shared, “The food made by robots tastes as good as food cooked by people. It brings us a lot of convenience.”
