My father, who used to share in the chores around the house, gradually started becoming downhearted. From the time he came home from his job to the time he went to bed, he hardly spoke a word to my mom or us kids. The strain on my mom and dads relationship was very evident. However, I was not prepared for the day that Mom told us that Dad had decided to leave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced family. It was something I never thought possible, and it grieved me greatly. I kept telling myself that it wasnt going to happen, and I went totally numb when I knew my dad was really leaving. The night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time. I prayed and I cried and I wrote a long letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and how much I would miss him. I told him that I was praying for him and wanted him to know that, no matter what, Jesus and I loved him. I told him that I would always and forever be his Krissie . his Noodles. As I folded my note, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard：“Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.”Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sneaked out to the car and slipped my letter into one of his bags.Two weeks went by with hardly a word from my father. Then, one afternoon, I came home from school to find my mom sitting at the dining room table waiting to talk to me. I could see in her eyes that she had been crying. She told me that Dad had been there and that they had talked for a long time. They decided that there were things that both of them could and would change and that their marriage was worth saving. Mom then turned her focus to my eyes.“Krissie, Dad told me that you wrote him a letter. Can I ask what you wrote to him？”I found it hard to share with my mom what I had written from my heart to my dad. I mumbled a few words and shrugged.A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, my dad and I. I guess I always figured that it was something that was a secret between us.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是在父亲要和母亲离婚时，作者给父亲写了一封信，这封信挽救了父母的婚姻。1What happened to the authors parents when she was sixteen?AThey left her alone.BThey were getting divorced.CThey shared in the chores together.DThey had a good marriage.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but just before I . tested”和“The strain on my mom and dads relationship was very evident.

How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Dominos Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality. On March 8, the threefoot tall robot made its first delivery to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Dominos Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics. The machine can cover a distance of up to 12 miles and back before requiring a battery recharge. Equipped with Google Maps and GPS guidance, DRU can go along bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination. LIDAR, a laserbased sensor technology similar to the one used in selfdriving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors ensure its path to its destination is safe. DRUs plastic shell protects the food from the bad weather, while its aluminum and steel container ensures that the pies remain hot.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.Dominos expects additional DRUs to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations 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. There is also the issue of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO of Dominos Pizza, is not worried. He believes that one day DRU will become a necessary part of the Dominos family.语篇解读：文章介绍了一款名为DRU的机器人系统的工作原理以及它的功能：为人们派送比萨。5Whats the function of LIDAR?AKeeping DRU free of obstacles.BRecharging DRUs battery.CHelping DRU find its destination.DProtecting DRU from bad weather.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“LIDAR . enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles”可知，LIDAR这种基于激光传感器的技术能让机器人侦测和躲避障碍物。故选A项。6What does the underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AHeat.BHold.CSell.
