A Utah man who has been in a wheelchair for more than three decades has created a pheasant hunt for people like him who need help getting into the outdoors. Clint Robinson broke his neck after being thrown off a horse at a rodeo (竞技) 32 years ago. He’s done his best to keep getting into the outdoors to hunt and fish, the Daily Herald in Provo reports. The event he calls “Wheelchairs in the Wild” pairs people that have physical disabilities with hunters who help them with whatever they need. Many go in off-road vehicles. “What we’re trying to do is get new injured people back out into the field trying to get them back out, enjoying the outdoors and wildlife that’s out there and show them that there’s other things that they can do besides sitting in the house doing nothing,” Robinson said. The youngest hunter at last year’s event was 13-year-old Missy Cowley who has spina bifida (脊柱裂). Her father loves to hunt but didn’t know how to accommodate (安排) her wheelchair. Her mother, Cindy Cowley, said it was amazing to find a program that allowed her daughter to go hunting. “We always told her when she was little, you can do everything you want to do…but we just got to figure out a way,” Cindy Cowley said. “But we really didn’t know how we were going to get her up there to hunt.” Missy Cowley said it was a great experience that also allowed her to meet other people who use wheelchairs. “This is wonderful. I can actually do it,” Missy said. “It was really fun. And I love being outdoors.” Jerry Schlappi, officer from Division of Wildlife resources, who helped with the event, said Robinson is a perfect role model showing other wheelchair users with disabilities that they don’t have to give up what they love. 1.What can we know about Clint Robinson from the text? A.He began to usea wheelchair thirty years ago. B.He used to be interested in hunting and fishing. C.He liked riding horses before getting disabled. D.He is now more physically active than before. 2.What does Clint Robinson try to talk about in the fourth paragraph? A.The benefits of his event. B.The purposes of his event. C.The processes of his even. D.The difficulty with his event. 3.Why is much information about Missy Cowley’s family given in the text? A.To show the effects of disabilities. B.To explain the problem with hunters. C.To show people’s interest in hunting. D.To think highly of Robinson’s event. 4.What should be the best title for the text? A.Hope Is brought back To Hunters with Disabilities. B.Man Organizes hunting Event For Wheelchair Users. C.Hunting Event Is Benefiting The Physically Disabled. D.Wheelchair Users Are Supposed To Get Into Nature.

With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the last mile of the delivery process, from the store to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019. The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to stay away from pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, like garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway. Though Amazon hasn’t revealed how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them before the delivery, to unlock the cargo bay. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs recharging Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human in tow, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location however, will be tracked at all times—if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly alerted. While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, food and grocery delivery company Postmates’ bug-eyed robots are currently making their rounds along the busy San Francisco streets. Also in test-mode, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge. Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles, motor bikes, and large delivery trucks that typically ferry packages, they can t climb stairs or open gates, which means they can only reach consumers living the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers aren’t home. whether these issues get solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to satisfy the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries. 1.What is the right feature of the Scout robots? A.They can be powered themselves. B.They know to avoid obstacles ahead. C.They can run thanks to their six wheels. D.They’re big enough to carry heavy things. 2.What about Scout is still confusing to common people? A.How long it will take to get it fully charged. B.Why its cargo bay can open at the right time. C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things. D.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge. 3.What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph? A.They are not easily available. B.They’ll replace humans soon. C.They have some limitations. D.They won’t be well accepted. 4.What should be the best title for the text? A.Improvements Are Being Made To Delivery robot Technology. B.Amazon has Planned To Put A Creative Delivery Robot Into Use. C.Eco-friendly delivery Robots Are Springing Up Around America. D.Amazon’s delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking At Your Door.

About four million people worldwide took to the streets on Friday, September 20, 2019, for the Global Climate Strike. The young protestors (抗议者), and their adult supporters, marched along city streets outside government buildings to urge leaders to take action against climate change. The back-to- back protests are timed to coincide (与……一致) with the United Nations Climate Change Summit in New York City on Monday, September 23, 2019. The meeting is designed to challenge world leaders from 69 countries to discuss steps to handle climate change. The UN hopes their actions will help reduce global carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and, if all goes well, eliminate them altogether by 2050. While the strikes are in long-standing anger about the changing environment, the worldwide call for action is closely linked to teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. The 16-year-old got well-known a year ago after she began spending Fridays outside the Swedish Parliament (国会) building in Stockholm to convince officials to take action against climate change. Her protests have inspired young people worldwide to take action in their cities. Thunberg, who came from Sweden to New York City in an emissions- free sailboat, was one of the key speakers at the UN Climate Change Summit. On Monday, September 23, the teenager told lawmakers, “You all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You’ve stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet, I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are falling down. So you have to listen to scientists and take immediate measures to help stop climate change.” While Thunberg and other young climate activists are calling the recent global Climate Strike a victory in terms of its size and reach, they realize it’ ll take time to convince lawmakers to create real change. However, the teenager is hopeful they’ll begin to pay attention as more people of all ages join in the call-to-action. 1.What can we know about the Global Climate Strike from the text? A.It is to support the un climate Change Summit. B.It is to raise teenagers environmental awareness. C.It was led by adults but mainly included teenagers. D.It was attended by millions of people in the world. 2.What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Join. B.Improve. C.Get rid of. D.Stay away from. 3.What is the third paragraph intended to show? A.The role that Thunberg plays in the Strike. B.Thunberg’s contributions to climate change. C.The importance of the global climate Strike D.Thunberg’s opinions on the Global Climate Strike. 4.What did Thunberg focus on expressing at the un climate Change Summit? A.Humans’ carelessness is worsening climate. B.Humans are suffering due to climate change. C.Measures need taking to stop climate change. D.Extreme climate change is drawing attention.

We all wish for the arrival of Sunday. 1. The hard work of a busy week is soothed (抚慰) by a good sleep that lasts, in most cases, till the Sunday afternoon.
