2. For Jeannie,a mother of three living in New York City,kindness starts first thing in the morning.Though she doesn't work until the afternoon,she gets up around 5 a.m.jye.ai spend some quality family time around the kitchen table before seeing her daughter off to school.
Jeannie makes a point to add kindness to every aspect of her life,from being a community member to parenting to her job. "I want to be a living example not just to my kids,but to anyone I come across," she says. "I don't wait to be kind.I just go forward."
Growing up,Jeannie's mother taught her the golden rule:treat others the way you want to be treated.Today,she has conveyed similar values to her own children. "And when we go grocery shopping,we always buy some extra food that we can offer to anyone we see who might be hungry." she says.
Kindness comes in handy in Jeannie's place of work,too. "I deal with various attitudes every single day," she laughs. "I'm the one residents call when they need help.It's important that they know that I'm there to listen and that I'm going to take care of them as quickly as possible."
Not only does Jeannie's family inspire her to be kind,but her community does,too. "I see little acts of kindness that continue to grow," Jeannie explains. "Watching someone offer their seat to an elderly person or someone with a disability,or help someone else carry a stroller or shopping cart up the stairs - that's how I grew up.Making the best of any and every situation,especially for others."

3. Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States,Britain and elsewhere.The robots,about 50 centimeters tall,are bringing food like pizza to hungry students.
The Starship robots were being tested in limited numbers before the pandemic started.But pandemic-related worker shortages and a desire for contactless delivery have expanded their use. "We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling," said Alastair.He is the head of Starship Technologies,whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. "I think demand was always there,but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect."
The Starship robots use cameras,sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour.Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier.When a robot arrives,people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food.
There are some limitations for now.The Starship robots have to be recharged regularly.They are slow and cannot travel far.They cannot leave food at the door.And big cities like New York and London are not welcoming them.
Maloney is the vice president at Domino's Pizza.His company is testing robots from Nuro,a California-based company.The Nuro robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets,not sidewalks.Maloney said Nuro delivery costs more than using human drivers for now.But as the technology gets more popular,the costs will go down.
Witcher is a technology expert with Forrester.He said it is easy to get excited about robots.But they will need to prove to companies they are better than human delivery drivers.It is "the right time and place for companies considering robots to test them and learn from them and do their own evaluation."
(1)What does the underlined phrase "go through the ceiling" in par graph 2 mean?
A.Stay steady.
B.Change quickly.
C.Increase rapidly.
D.Decline gradually.
(2)What can we learn about the Starship robots?
A.They are popular in large cities.
B.They can cross streets on their own.
C.They should be recharged frequently.
D.They travel at a speed of 18 km per hour.
(3)What does Maloney think of Nuro delivery?
A.It is cheap.
B.It is promising.
C.It isn't fast enough.
D.It isn't worth testing.
(4)Which statement will Witcher probably agree with?

Dear Karl,
How's everything going?I'm writing to share you a brilliant thing.
I win the first prize in the Music Star Festival to held by my school last week.The song I sang was the Red Sun by David Lee.I chose a song because of the inspiration it took me.Every time I enjoy it I feel something warmth flowing in my heart.I can't emphasize the importance of others' encouragement too much.Not only can they make me happy,but also can encourage me to keep moving.When I were under pressure,I choose to listen to the song and catch my breathe.
I do hope you also like the song.Do you have any songs that encourage you?Looking forward to you early reply.
Yours,
Jack組卷:1引用:2難度:0.5
