Why do people like yoga? There’s a short answer and a long answer to that question. The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practising, breathing exercises and thinking make you healthier in body, mind and spirit. For many people, that's enough of an answer, but there's more if you are interested. Yoga began in India about 5,000 years ago. At that time, people wanted to be free, healthy and live a long life, so this kind of exercise was born. The early yoga was part of a religion (宗教). It was usually taught one to one—one teacher with one student. Yoga is an Indian word that means “to join together”. There are three parts of yoga altogether: exercise, breathing and meditation (沉思). In the past, people paid more attention to the spirit. The idea behind the exercise was to join the mind, body and spirit as one. Yoga can give you peace, help you feel relaxed, and have fewer worries and illnesses. 204 1.What is yoga? A. An old Indian sport. B. A European game. C. A popular idea. D. An enjoyment. 2.Which of the following is true? A. Yoga has four parts altogether. B. Anyone can practise yoga. C. Yoga was taught in classes. D. Yoga can bring the world peace. 3.Why do people like yoga? A. Because it brings happiness and relax. B. Because it helps you work more quickly. C. Because it is part of the real religion. D. Because it is good for your health.

Many companies use guards and expensive alarm systems to protect their property (财产). Soon a new kind of protection will be used—robots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will guard factories, warehouses (仓库) and museums at night. The mobile robots will move around
slowly on whee To protect a building, a robot will
have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the
building w A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough ground. It won’t be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be prevented from entering the area it moves. One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense” whether a chair or a box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it won’t send an alarm if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot is hard to be stolen anyway. It weighs about 200 pounds. U.S. companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards. Mobile robots may be cheaper. (296) 1. Why is the new kind of robots called mobile robots? Because they can _____. A. guard factories, warehouses and museums B. send loud, painful sirens when it is stolen C. sense moving objects and signal police D. move around and do the programmed work 2. How will a robot get directions for moving around a building? A. From a human guard. B. From a built-in computer. C. From another robot. D. From radio signals. 3. What can be the best title of this passage? A. New Guards. B. Science and Technology. C. Alarm Systems. D. Engineers and Robots.

Perhaps you are familiar with some of his books, as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
