Thanks to China’s anti-poverty policy, great changes have been taken place in my hometown in the past decade, especial in the living conditions. Take my grandparents’ home in the countryside as a example. They used to live in a small house with little furniture, and now they have moved into a two-storied building with modern electric equipments. In the past, we had to ask someone to write to my parents to keep contact. But they each has a mobile phone now, that makes the communication more convenient. They even have learned to use WeChat talk to us. And they mostly drive out instead of walk or ride bicycles at times.

The days of dragging heavy luggage through an airport may be over thanks to a new robotic suitcase that follows its owner like a loyal dog.
Called Cowa Robot, the $650 carry-on suitcase moves on its own at a top speed of nearly 4.5mph and can find its way back to its owner within a distance of 164 feet.
To activate (启动) it, all the user has to do is press a hidden button in the handle and start walking — it will automatically keep up thanks to high-tech sensors in the case and a tracker bracelet (手环) worn by the traveler. High-tech sensors in the case and a bracelet make the Cowa Robot stays around 2 feet behind its owner.
Designed by a Shanghai-based startup, Cowa Robot was built with the latest in robotics to avoid objects in its path and actively look for its owner if it gets separated. The carry-on case has a built-in camera sensor to find its owner and it connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth.
It follows at a 45-degree radius and can be programmed to follow a specific path, and it has a handle so it can be dragged when the airport is too crowded. The 10lb suitcase has four USB ports and a built-in battery that can charge a passenger’s mobile phone or tablet, and has a separate section for laptops or other devices. It is made from a sturdy German Bayer PC material to protect its contents and has a logo that lights up.

One of India’s longest and strongest heat waves in decades, with temperatures reaching 123°F (51° C) has killed at least 36 lives since it began in May, and the government has warned that the suffering might continue as the arrival of monsoon (季风) rains has been delayed.
India’s heat waves have grown particularly strong in the past decade, killing thousands of people and affecting an increasing number of states. This year, the extreme temperatures have struck large parts of northern and central India.
Anup Kumar Srivastava, an expert at India’s National Disaster Management Authority, said the number of Indian states hit by heat waves was expected to grow to 23 this year from 9 in 2015. He said, “This year, the number of heat wave days has also increased — and it’s not just day temperatures, night temperatures have also been high.” He added that the coming storms would bring down temperatures in some areas, but that heat waves might pick up again until the monsoon rains arrive.
India’s Meteorological Department warns that extreme heat brings a very high likelihood of developing heat illness and heat stroke in all ages. Medical authorities have canceled leaves for doctors at hospitals in Churu as the number of patients has soared. Schools in central India have remained closed.
In the capital, New Delhi, temperatures reached a record 118.4°F (45°C) on Monday, June 10. Clouds on Tuesday promised rain, but largely failed to deliver. Dust storms the next day lowered temperatures to around 100 °F (38°C).
Heat records around the world are more likely to be broken as average temperatures climb upward because of rising greenhouse gas emissions.
1.Why might India’s heat waves continue according to the government?
A.Because clouds have failed to gather.
B.Because there are fewer dust storms.
C.Because temperatures stay high day and night.
D.Because monsoon rains have come later than usual.
2.What does the underlined word “soared” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Stayed low. B.Increased sharply.
C.Remained the same. D.Decreased slightly.
3.What was the weather of New Delhi most probably like on June 11th?
A.Dry. B.Cloudy. C.Rainy. D.Cool.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.India has Become the Hottest in History.
B.Heat Records Around the World Are Broken.
C.36 Died in India with Temperature Shooting up to 123°F.
D.Indian Government Took Measures to Handle Heat Waves.
