As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school(小学)because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the universitys Writers Workshop, however, she felt lonely-a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didnt think it hadanything to do with why I felt so much imbalance(不平衡) in my life, but it had everything to do with it! Thats when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldnt write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a childrens book, and a short-story collection.28. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A.

But what will they do if they e across a hitchhiking robot? Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?That is the answer Canadian professors, Smith and Zeller, who study the relationship between humans and technology, are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot.HitchBOT is built with cheap household items. Thanks to a PC tablet, GPS tracker and camera, hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general(普通的) public, but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks. The smart robot is even able to quote(引用) interesting facts about the areas it has passed through.Not surprisingly, many people are doubtful about hitchBOTs ability. Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone. Actually, they are all wrong. The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax to Victoria, a distance of 3,700 miles. It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple. It not only reached its destination on August 21st, but also had some amazing adventures along the way. It visited national parks, went fishing, went camping, and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the brides(新郎)speech.In addition to helping it get to its destination, its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape (披肩) to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil.32. Why is the hitchhiking robot built?A. To help passers-by reach their destinations. B. To find out how people might react to it.C. To see if it will give rides to strangers.D.
