and needs and could find its way into peoples homes within two or three years, potentially greatly enhancing quality of life for older citizens and people with memory or mobility problems.the robot, a mobile wheeled semi-humanoid figure equipped with cameras, sensors, audio and a touch screen interface, can remind users to take their medicine, suggest they have their favourite drink or encourage them to go for a walk or visit friends if they havent been out for a while. as part of a larger smart-home environment that can include smart clothing to monitor vital signs, the system can monitor users health and safety, and contact emergency services if something is wrong.“across europe, populations are growing older, and many people need care in some way. care may be provided by professionals at home or in a care facility, but often the caregiver is the persons partner or another family member. what we are seeing is that carers may also need additional support themselves, especially if they are also older - our view is that technology can provide it,” explains mr herjan of smart homes, the dutch expertise centre on home automation and smart living, which oversaw the robots development.by monitoring users behavior, the robot can learn to approach users at appropriate times, talk to them or provide information via a touchscreen interface. users can respond by talking back or using the touchscreen.“the way the robot behaves, such as what it says and how it says it, can be changed to suit each person,” mr herjan says.the prototype（样板）robot companion currently cost around eur 10,000 to build, but that price should fall as technology advances or if they are produced in large numbers. mr. herjan thinks a robot companion will cost around eur 5000 within a couple of years.21. the robot companion in the passage can help all people, except _. a. old people b. blind people c. people with memory problems d. people who cant move easily 22. what can the robot companion do?a. give users their medicine. b. call and visit users friends. c. serve users their favorite drink. d. encourage users to go for a walk. 23. what does mr. herjan mainly want to convey in the third paragraph?a. caregivers should be professional. b. caregivers themselves also need care. c. there are more and more old people in europe.d. the technology of robots can provide help like a caregiver. 24. how can the robot companion learn to approach users at appropriate times?a. by using a touch screen. b. by directly talking to users. c. by watching users behavior. d. by listening to users orders.25. according to the last paragraph, we know that _.a. people can spend eur 10,000 getting a robot companion now b. the robot companions price will probably fall as technology advances c. the robot companion will be produced in large numbers in the near future d. the cheapest robot companion will cost around eur 5,000 within a few yearsbthe uk government has begun a campaign to help people with disabilities get into the workplace. the campaign includes a plan to offer disabled young people new internships（实习）and training to help them find jobs. ministers want firms to change their employment policies after government research showed that employers attitudes were a barrier to disabled people. an advertising campaign for the initiative（倡议）was announced to the public in london on thursday at a disability employment conference. the campaign will ask employers to recognize the talents that disabled people can offer, and “challenge some of the prejudices.” prime minister david cameron said, “this isnt just about doing what is right for disabled people. employing disabled people makes business sense, too. we need to deal with the complexities of employing disabled people, or put it more simply, to give employers more confidence.”as part of the new initiative, a government-funded scheme will be available to 16- to 24-year-olds who have complex learning difficulties and disabilities. youngsters who sign up for an internship, which will be run by further education colleges, will get help from expert career coaches and work for at least six months. under these “traineeships”, young people will get assistance in writing a cv, interview practice, work placements of up to five months and training in english and maths. employers will also be given help from the same coaches and encouraged to take on disabled young people. there are nearly seven million disabled people of working age in the uk, and their employment rates have increased slightly over the past decade, from 42.2% in 2002 to 46.3% in 2012. last year, the government announced that 27 remploy factories, which provide employment opportunities for disabled people, were to close. the closures followed advice by an independent review into the way the government spent its disability employment budget. it suggested that the government should use the budget to support individuals, rather than factory businesses. 26. according to government research, what has been making it difficult for disabled people to get jobs? a. lack of training. b. their disabilities. c. employers attitudes. d. lack of government support. 27. prime minister david cameron thought the campaign _. a. is not to do what is right for disabled people b. will encourage

scientists have created rabbits that glow in the dark.their efforts have produced two rabbits out of a litter of eight that went from being a normal, soft white to glowing green in the dark. the rabbits were born at the university of istanbul as part of the collaboration between scientists from universities in turkey and hawaii.the rabbits glow to show that a genetic operation technique can work efficiently, though the specific color is more cosmetic than scientific. “the green is not important at all its just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully,” said university of hawaii associate professor, stefan moisyadi.to produce the glowing effect, researchers injected jellyfish（水母）dna into a mother rabbits embryos. then those embryos were inserted back into the mother. similar experiments have resulted in glowing cockroaches（蟑螂）and cats.eventually, the researchers hope the technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines, moisyadi said.“the final goal is to develop animals that are able to produce beneficial molecules（分子）in their milk that can be cheaply extracted（提取）, especially in countries that cannot afford big factories that make drugs, which usually cost us $1bn to build. then they will be able to produce their own protein-based medication in animals,” moisyadi said.the rabbits are expected to have the same life span as their non-glowing counterparts, but moisyadi said he understands people can object to this kind of experimentation involving live animals.“to the people against, i say: think about, what are the benefits and what are the injuries?” moisyadi said. “and if the benefits outweigh the injuries, lets go with the benefits.”moisyadi, a native of turkey who is now with the university of hawaii, started developing the project in 2006, and researchers are now waiting to see if pregnant sheep produce similar results.31. what do we know about the glowing rabbits?a. they live shorter lives than ordinary rabbits.b.

animal wasnt used as the test subject?a. the cat. b. the jellyfish. c. the sheep. d. the cockroach. 34. which of the following is true, according to the passage?a. the project is supported by people. b. the success rate in creating the rabbits is 20%. c. the project has been conducted for more than nine years. d. the project is mainly conducted by turkish scientists. 35. what is moisyadis attitude
