In 2014, I was in ballet class when I got a call from the hospital that my dad had experienced a stroke. I rushed to the hospital to join him, and found him buried in a nest of cables, surrounded by a variety of monochromatic, rapidly beeping （making a short, loud sound） assistive machines. They seemed to form a single, massive enclosure around him. Every few moments he would peer up at one of the machines with wide, confused eyes. li became clear that many of the technologies that were meant to be helping and supporting him were scary and inaccessible. During the most difficult moments of his life, the machines multiplied his fear.

I wondered how I could make him feel reassured, safe, and dignified around these devices. At the time, I was a professional dancer and choreographer （编舞者）. Dancers, performers and theater artists are all masters at evoking emotions, so I began to think how I might improve machines to help him feel empowered and hopeful rather than afraid. My dad is now in his early 70s and fully recovered. But his story led me to start combining my passions for dance and technology.

I’ve danced with different robots all around the world, in installations （就职）and live performances. I'm now a Ph. D. candidate in mechanical engineering at Stanford University, where I work on models and interfaces that allow robots to learn new tasks from humans.

As the number of robots in society continues to increase, more people need to be capable of using them. I think of other commonly used technologies like laptops and phones and reflect that a user like my dad actively direct the robot with natural human motions.

I believe the intersection （交叉点）between robotics and human will continue to expand as robots move out of the factory and into the public. I am not sure how soon my dad will have a robot in his house, but I do believe that when it arrives, it will be filled with dance knowledge.

24. What do we know about the author's father after he was in hospital?

A. He longed to see his son.

B. He knew little about his illness.

C. He was curious about new machines.

D. He was terrified of medical equipment.

25. What mainly made the author combine dance and technology?

A. His care for his father.

B. His personal experiences.

C. A creative thought for dance.

D. Technology's effect on society.

26. The author mentioned laptops and phones in paragraph4 to

A. account for their wide use in life.

B. convince readers of their significance.

C. show development of the modem technology.

D. predict the capability of people using robots.

27. What is the author's attitude to the future of dancing robots?

A. Suspicious.   B. Optimistic.   C. Pessimistic.   D. Uncertain.

C

Feeling sleepy in the middle of the day? There are many reasons why we get sleepy in the afternoon. Bad lighting, a poor night's sleep, a boring job, large （carb-heavy） lunches, and more can all contribute to head-bobbing at your desk or falling into a light sleep during a meeting. The best course of action would be to find the root cause of your sleep issue and fix it, but most of us simply head for the coffee pot or the cafe. Instead of that, try climbing some stairs.

Well, now exercise researchers have discovered that walking up and down lights of stairs for about 10 minutes actually gives you a more effective boost （提高）of energy than drinking 50 milligrams of caffeine greedily （the average amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, tea, or soda）.

In a study called Stair walking, the researchers enlisted 18 "physically active" college women between the ages 18 and 23. The participants reported experiencing chronically poor sleep, adding up to an average of fewer than 45 hours of shuteye each week in the past few years. And they are often a lack of available time during the workday for a dedicated exercise session.

The researchers chose stair climbing as the exercise of choice. Walking up and down the stairs requires no specific clothing, travel time, or even a shower afterward. During the study, on some days the participants alternated （交替）between taking 50-milligram caffeine pills or a placebo. On the other days, they skipped the caffeine （real or otherwise） and climbed up and down the stairs, at a moderate pace, for 10 minutes.

At the conclusion of the study, the researchers acknowledged that there is more research to be done （when isn't that the case?） but concluded that “A short period of low-to-moderate intensity stair walking has temporary energizing effects that exceed a low dose of caffeine for active young women with chronic insufficient sleep. "

So, the next time you find yourself nodding off mid-afternoon, why not give stairs a try?

28. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?

A. To describe a phenomenon.

B. To explain reasons of poor sleep.

C. To present the topic of stair climbing.

D. To remind people to drink less coffee.

29. According to the passage, college women ___.

A. suffered from sleep disorder

B. were active in physical workout

C. were too busy to fall sound sleep

D. volunteered to participate in the study

30. What does the underlined word "skipped" in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. released.   B. exchanged.   C. became addicted to.  D. missed out on.

31. What message does the text seem to convey?

A. Proper stair walking can refresh people.

B. People tend to fall asleep in mid-afternoon.

C. A moderate intake of caffeine will be harmless.

D. Climbing stairs can effectively solve sleep issue.

D

Young male African elephants show calmer behavior when older, more experienced male elephants are around, according lo a new study. Experts say the discovery could help to protect both elephants and humans.

Researchers from the University of Exeter, in south-west England and the charity Elephants for Africa studied the behavior of 281 male elephants （known as bulls） in Botswana's Makgadikgadi Pans National Park over three years. At between 12 and 15 years old, bull elephants leave the herd where they grow up and then spend much of their time either alone or with other males. Females, in  contrast stay with the herd they were born into.

To see if there were patterns in the way males behaved after leaving their herd, the researchers divided them into four groups: two groups of adolescents （aged 10-15 or 16-20 years old）, and two groups of adults （aged 21-25 or over 26 years old）. They found that the younger males were more likely to be aggressive towards non-elephant targets, such as other animals and vehicles when there were fewer older adult bulls to mix with. Connie Allen from the University of Exeter, who led the study, suggests this may be because the young bulls on their own are less experienced at identifying threats to their safety. That means they are more likely to become fearful, which makes them attack.

Allen said the research revealed an important role for older male elephants who have often been thought of as not very useful in elephant society. This mistaken belief has led wildlife authorities to allow some hunting of older males, reducing their numbers and their possible calming influence on younger bulls. In the area where the elephants live, 71% of people said they felt that elephants threaten their safety. The research suggests that having more older males could help with the problem.

32. How do bull elephants differ from female elephants?

A. They leave the herd.

B. They stay with the herd.

C. They behave violently.

D. They are more independent.

33. Why do younger male elephants attack people or vehicles?

A. They protect their herd from danger.

B. They are too young to recognize threats.

C. They are frightened by non-elephant targets.

D. They are not protected well by older elephants.

34. Which statement will the author probably agree with?

A. Older male elephants are less important in elephant society.

B. It is reasonable to allow some hunting of older male elephants.

C. Older male elephants can help reduce elephant attack.

D. People's safety is threatened by older male elephants.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Old Elephants Threaten People's Safety.

B. Old Male Elephants Keep Young Calm.

C. Young Elephants Are More Aggressive.

D. Bull Elephants Tend to Leave the Herd.
