First of all, it has a good climate. In almost all sections of the country it is possible to live comfortably during the whole year. It is true that in the south it sometimes gets very hot, and in the north very cold. But the people who live in these regions become accustomed to the climate and never suffer very much when the weather is either very hot or very cold.In a large country there is usually a great variety of different physical characteristics. In the United States, there are wide plains and high mountains, thousands of lakes and rivets of all sizes, cool forests and hot deserts, and a coastline several thousand miles long. The many lakes and rivers, as well as the long coastline, have been of great importance to the development of the country, since they made possible the easy transportation of people and all the things people need. Transportation by water is still necessary and important. In modern times, however, trains, automobiles, trucks and airplanes are doing much of the work which was formerly done by ships and boats. 64What are the principal physical characteristics of the United States？AAlmost the sameBRather variousCVery good for farmingDSuitable for transportation65In what respect is the United States very fortunate？AGeographical locationBGood climateCPhysical characteristicsDBoth A and C66Why are rivers，lakes and coastlines important to the development of the U.

Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and left satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),” Edwards points out. “ The problem is how we promote (使成为现实) that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.” In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner. “I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady, “When Im watching TV, hell stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.” The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. “At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not funny,” Beck says. “But its amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds.”68. The purpose of Beck and Edwards study is to _.A. understand human-animal relationshipB. make lonely old peoples life betterC. find the causes of old peoples lonelinessD. promote the animal-assisted research69. What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?A. It is easier to keep at home.B. It can help the disabled people.C. It responds to all
