The 450-poundmachine that travels at a maximum speedof 12. 4 miles an hourcantraversea distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensortechnology similar to the one used inself-driving cars, enables DRU todetectand avoid obstacles, while traditionalsensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to itsdestination. The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen. Scientists expect additional DRUs to be ready for service in their variousQueenslandlocations within the next six months. But dont expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Dominos the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years. And then there is also the issue ofregulations.

The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after youve done it in a certain way for so long? Its easy to do as long as you think about it. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things. 37Its a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a tedious(单调乏味的) task. Lets pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning readingtheBible. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it. 38Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis. Imprint(铭刻) it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start. After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, “Hey, I forgot to. . . ”. Keep using the notes if you have to. 39Some people say it will take over a month to solidify(变得稳固) it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine. 40A. What is a “habit” anyway?B. Is doing things in an old way good?C. Brushing your teeth is a habit. D. Forming a bad habit is easy. E. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit. F. If you dont, you will find a way to do everything but that. G. Thats something you wont necessarily have to think about before you do it habit. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1. 5分，满分30分）Do you hate to get your hands dirty?
