    Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, "Does anyone know American Sign Language (ASL)?"

    Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button (按钮). An air hostess came by and explained the situation, "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf" she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he's traveling alone and she couldn't understand what he needed.

    Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people. She knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's hand. So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪)by the scat of Tm Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, "How are you? Are you OK?" Cook asked for some water.

    When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.

    "He didn't need anything. He's lonely and wanted to talk," Clara said.

    So for the next hour, she talked about her family and plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her, she "looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a passenger reported.

The year is 2045. A group of robots take part in the World Cup. Robots? Is that possible? Many scientists believe it can happen, because there are already robots that can play football. Of course, today's robots don't just play sports.

Early robots could do easy things, mainly in factories. Humans operated (操作) them. However, today's robots can operate on their own. Some can only move around a little, like the robots which can sweep the floor, but others, for example, Honda's ASIMO can do much more. He can run, climb, dance, and even play football.

Then there are robots which look like humans. These robots have faces and can show feelings. Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they "feel". Actroid -DER is one of them.

Scientists are also making robots that look and act like animals. At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake which can get into holes (洞). One day, it may help scientists look for signs of life on Mars. There are other animal robots. The frog-bot can jump over things. The sticky-bot can walk up walls. There's even a robot called Water Runner that can walk on water.

But can a robot football team ever play as well as a human team? Many scientists think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions (冠军)!

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

"The best mianshi lies in China and the best Chinese mianshi lies in Shanxi." Can you imagine that in North China's Shanxi Province, there are over 280 kinds of mianshi, or cooked wheaten(小麦的) food?

 Shanxi people's love for mianshi is closely connected to the local natural conditions. The dry weather on mountains and plateaus(高原) makes it a good place for growing wheat. Therefore, as time passing by, Shanxi people not only developed an eating habit for mianshi, but also invented different ways of cooking wheaten food.

 Among the many Shanxi mianshi, the sliced(削的) noodle is the most famous one. It is a noodle made with a special knife. When making it, the cook needs to hold the dough(生面团) with one hand, while fast slicing the noodles into the soup pot with the other hand. The length and thickness of each sliced noodle are required to be the same. Experienced cooks can even turn the way of slicing noodle into an excellent show. They can slice 200 noodles in one minute, and make sure each noodle falls exactly into the soup pot 1.5 meters away.

 In Chinese food culture, people like to give special meanings to the food. For example, they would have a bowl of Changshoumian on their birthdays, carrying good wishes for health and long life. In many places, the tradition is to serve jiaozi to a person leaving home, and noodles to a person returning home, as both foods have their own important meanings.

 Well, seeing all these Chinese mianshi, do you feel enjoyable? Would you like to have a try?
