Welcome to New York City, the Big Apple. It is one of the most exciting cities in the United States. I am Jack Marino, your guide in New York. As you see, Central Park is a very large park, right in the middle of all the tall buildings. Look at all the people who are walking, bicycling, and picnicking in the park. It is really a quiet and relaxing place in New York. Now we are going down Fifth Avenue. New Yorkers love to walk along Fifth Avenue and look in the store windows. There are clothes stores with beautiful dresses and suits, and jewelry(珠宝) stores with diamonds (钻石) and gold. Here we are on Broadway(百老汇), where you can see plays and musicals（音乐喜剧）. When we say Broadway, we don't mean one single theater. Actually, it is an area with many famous theaters. When you visit New York you must go and see a play or a musical at Broadway. Now we are going by the Empire State Building. From the 102^nd floor you can see all up and down the island of Manhattan. It is a wonderful way to see the city. Here is Wall Street, the money center of the United States. These streets are the heart of American business. The people going along the street look very small with such tall buildings on both sides.

A plant(植物) makes its own food in its leaves .Water comes to the leaves through the roots（根）. Air gets into the leaves through very small holes（孔） . The green coloring in the leaves uses the water and air to make the food for the plant . It also needs sunshine because a plant can make food only when the sun is shining.
Animals and people could not live without green plants . They both eat plants .People and some animals also eat the meat of some animals and these animals eat plants.

Going to the zoo is very popular. Every year over 134 million visitors go to zoos to enjoy watching and learning about the animals. Zoos are the only places that most people will ever meet an elephant, a tiger or other animals that are in danger. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. They help us to enjoy different kinds of animals as well as make us think more about nature(自然).

Zoos are also important to animals. In order to make more space(空间), food, and other things for ourselves, we leave less and less room for animals. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. If there were no zoos, more animals in the world would have gone extinct(濒临灭绝). {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Some people think that animals should not be kept by people for any reason(原因). If they become extinct, then that's the way it should be. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. We should do everything we can to protect them(保护它们).

Do you know that women's brains are smaller than men's? Normally the women's brain weighs 10% less than men's. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent（聪明的） than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it's what's inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount（数量）of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women.
It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it's women who come out on top every time.
There are other important differences between two sexes（性别）. As white matter is the key to spatial（空间的）tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life's great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!
The differences begin when fetuses（胎儿）are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

Millions of children in the United States go to summer camps. Some go to play outdoors at traditional camps in the woods, in the mountains or on lakes. But families now have many choices of special camps. These can be in the middle of nature or a big city. Special camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects: Anything from space exploration to business to medicine.

In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how to use computer programmes to create games of their own. One programme that teaches video game design is called Cybercamps. Children can learn how to design their own virtual(实际上的) worlds to set their video game in. Then, they programme their own rules and objects into the game.

Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and Web design. A recent story in the Washington Post described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow a black line drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make Web sites. One child made a site for pokeman, one of his favourite cartoon shows.

If your pen broke at school today, what would you do? You would go to a shop and buy a new one. What if you could simply print out a real, working pen with your 3-D printer without leaving your room?

Ten years ago people could only see 3-D printing in science fiction movies. But now 3-D printing is here and it's bringing big changes.

Unlike normal printing that can only copy a 2-D picture with ink. 3-D printing can build almost anything made from material. The printer layers(分层) the material in different shapes to create the object you want to be copied.

The 3-D printer has been used to make many different things. People have made cups, cars and even an airplane with it. Doctors have been using 3-D printers for several years. People's nervous systems(系统) have been printed out in 3-D form in medical research. Some body parts have been printed and used in hospital. Several months ago, doctors used a 3-D printer to rebuild the face of a person who had a bad accident. In the future, it is expected that the printer will make human organs(器官)to save more lives.

However there are drawbacks to the printer. At the moment, printing can be quite slow and it's still rather expensive. The average(平均的) price of a household printer is around $1,700, not including the cost of the materials.

But as the technology develops, it shouldn't be long before disadvantages are improved. Only time will tell where this new technology will take us.

Robots come in many shapes and sizes. But most have one thing in common. They are built to help people, Lately engineers have been developing new kinds of robots. These high-tech machines are designed to lend a hand everywhere from hotels to disaster areas.

"Robots help people by making their lives easier, safer, and more fun, "says engineer Omar.

Since November, a robot named Pepper has been on the job at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. When guests have questions or need directions, they can ask Pepper. They can also use the robot's touch screen to find the information they need. Pepper is able to talk with guests and make them happy with stories too. It can even tell what kind of mood they are in.

"Pepper provides our guests with information in an exciting and new way." says the hotel manager Donald Bowman.

For a kid, being in the hospital can be boring and even scary. But a small robot called NAO is helping to make hospital stays easier. It was designed to keep people company.

A Tennessee doctor named Phil Parker bought a NAO robot three years ago. He programmed(为…….编制程序)it to talk to and play with young patients. He brought it to hospitals to help sick kids. When kids get medical tests, NAO explains what is going on. The robot also reads to kids and plays games with them like Rock, Scissors ,Cloth(石头剪刀布).

"The robot gets many kids to smile for the first time since they were in hospital," Parker says.

Other robots are designed to help to save people in dangerous areas. For example, disaster areas can be full of broken stones and other dangers. Engineers in Japan are planning to build a robot called E2-DR to go into those areas and search for people who are hurt.
