    Imagine this. You come back from school and your robot housekeeper is already waiting for you at the door. He turns on the lights, air-conditioner and television. While you are having dinner, he cleans the floor. Before you go to sleep, he tells you the weather report, then reads you a bedtime story.

    Such thoughts are not just for stories. Now they can happen in the real world, as long as you have the robot Alpha 2.

举一反三

根据短文内容,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

     If you like to check your smartphone from time to time, you are not alone. In fact, using apps(应用程序)has now become part of everyday life.

Changba

      Changba, which has been described as "the best mobile karaoke for sound", allows you to sing along to over 2,000 songs. You can also share your KTV recordings with friends on social media sites such as Weibo, Wechat, Qzone, etc. The app allows users to create a photo show to go with their songs and comment on other people's songs. Changba can even filter the sound. For example, it can make cat noises sound like a beautiful chorus(合唱).

Moment Cam

     Moment Cam brings you some of the most useful features a camera app can have, such as adjusting the flash(调整闪光灯),continuous shots, adjusting the timer, and choosing different sizes for photo-sharing sites. But what sets the app apart from all the others is the choice of simple mini-buttons that you hardly notice are there.

Carrot

     Carrot, a to-do list app, is a task manager with a personality, When you succeed in finishing your tasks, for example, Carrot praises you with a message such as "Way to go. Soon you'll be completing other people's to-do lists".But if you fail to perform your tasks, Carrot might say, "I'm angered at your behavior." And it may change its background from white to black to show how angry it is. So, if you need an extra push to finish your tasks, give Carrot a try.

阅读理解

    All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain (食物链). Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links (联系) disappears.

    All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly (直接). Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil (土壤) and air.

    Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun's energy (能量) after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.

    What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat (小麦), rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But humans often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases (疾病).

    Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.
