请阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项

    Last October, I traveled to England and experienced life in a British school. The teachers and students there were very nice and helpful. School starts at 8:20 am and ends at 5 pm, a lot longer than Macao's(澳门的)six hours.

The weather in England was very cold. On the first day, it was only 30C! We had to wear thick jackets. The weather in Macao at the time was much warmer.

Many of the lessons are very similar to those of Macao. There are math, science and other usual classes. They even have Chinese, although it's very simple. It was also my favorite class during my stay there, because I knew everything already and could help other students.

There is a very large farm on the school campus(校园), There are many plants and animals there, We saw pigs, sheep, goats, and more! This was very different from the high buildings in Macao.

The school campus is large. Even though it only has about 300sudents, the grounds are still a lot bigger than my school with over 1, 000 students. They even have a swimming pool where kids can have fun after school!

I had a great time at the Abbotsholme School. If I could go there again, I would be very happy.

Future astronauts could travel with emotional support robots

    To help astronauts of the future survive (幸免于) the mental (精神的) challenges that come with staying in space for quite a long time, space travelers‟ tasks could soon be accompanied(陪伴) by AI-powered, empathetic (有同理心的, 同感的) robotic helpers.

    Not only does space travel present astronauts with lots of physical stresses, spending months or years in such a physically demanding (要求高的) place with limited space and the same people can also raise many mental tests as well. According to MIT Technology Review, scientists are working to alleviate astronauts from some of the latter challenges by creating "an AI assistant that's able to feel human emotion and respond (做出反应) with empathy."

    While such a technology would prove itself useful by being able to predict the needs of the

crew members in space and "intervene (干预) if their mental health is in danger," it has the potential to be life-saving when humans choose to explore beyond Earth's gravitational field (引力场) and towards deep space.

    Though astronauts currently on the International Space Station have an intelligent robot to interact with called CIMON, it is short of proper emotional intelligence according to NASA CTO Tom Soderstrom. As a result, a team at the organization's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is working on a more complex (复杂的) emotional support companion that can control a spacecraft's functioning in addition to tracking the crew members‟ behaviours.

    Right now in the lab, an AI-equipped robot called Henry the Helper can be found walking around the grounds assisting visitors who appear confused or lost based on their facial expression. Two more emotionally intelligent robots are expected to be introduced later this year, one of which is said to be able to take part in conversations more complex than giving navigation(导航) assistance.

    The team's final goal is to make a companion named Fiona the Future a reality, an emotionally intelligent cross-platform system. Fiona, if all goes according to the JPL's plans, will help keep astronauts of the future stay mentally fit as they start their journeys to deep space.
