    Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6﹣year﹣old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voice﹣activated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能).And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a﹩170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital.And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!

    Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple HomePod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who

have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict

a boom(增长)in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?

    . You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking,cleaning, or driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.

    But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for "Alexa" or "OK Google" or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens shopping habits? And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.

    What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?

(1)From the passage, we know that Alexa  

A.can look after the baby

B.can cook delicious food

C.is a toy doll sold online

D.is one kind of AI device

(2)The underlined word "rare" in Paragraph 2 probably means  

A.unusual

B.expensive

C.harmful

D.impossible

(3)Which of the following is the best to fill in the "" in Paragraph 3?  

A.Convenience is the main advantage of voice shopping

B.The cost of voice shopping is lower than other ways

C.The popularity of voice shopping is increasing

D.The technology of voice shopping needs improving

(4)Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that B  when people try voice shopping.

A.AI sometimes forgets people's orders

B.personal information might be hacked

The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

Why are dogs our best friends.Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought,according to a study in Hungary.It found that dogs understand not only what we say,but also how we say it.

"The results were very exciting and very surprising."Said the researcher Attila Andies,from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.

For the study,the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months.The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine,so that the researchers could check their activity.

Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them.There were four different voice.Some were positive words,such as"well down",or neutral(不带感情色彩的) words like"however".The words were also in different tones(音调).Some were positive and some were neutral.

Brain scans(扫描)showed that the dogs could recognize(辨认)words.as well as the tone of words,much like people do.The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers(反应中枢).

"It shows that for dogs,a nice phrase can word very well as a prize,but it words best if both words and tones match."Said Andies.

They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right.Human brains work in the same way.

What's a spacewalk? Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft(航天器) while in space, it is called a spacewalk. Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. For example, experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects( 影响) different things. By going on spacewalks, astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix.

    When astronauts go on spacewalks, they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe. Inside spacesuits, astronauts have the oxygen(氧气) they need to breathe and the water they need to drink. To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe, the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door. When on a spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft. Tethers are like ropes, connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft. They keep astronauts from floating( 漂 浮 ) away into space. Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER. SAFER is worn like a backpack. It helps an astronaut move around in space.

    How do astronauts train for spacewalks? One way is by going for a swim. Floating in space is a lot like floating in water. Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk, astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality(虚拟现实). It looks and feels just like a spacewalk.

    Today, only three countries have finished spacewalks independently. They are Russia, the United States and China. The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia. Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev. He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space.

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have,and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents,because we get some of their DNA to make our own.

We spent holidays with our uncle.He loved to go on walks to collect stones.One day,he bought us backpacks(背包) and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones.

The whole day we walked around.Every now and then he put stones in our bags.To our surprise,he also took some stones out from our bags.But we thought he had just found better stones.

When we returned to the house,we were very tired.The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down.But uncle's backpack was half empty.

"Why did you put so many stones into our backpacks?"we asked.

"I didn't.You did."He said."You didn't know it,but I gave you a test today.I listened to every word you said.Whenever you were complaining(抱怨),I added a stone to your bags.Whenever you talked about something with positive(积极的) thinking,I took out a stone.And now look at your backpacks."Our backpacks were full of stones.

Your negative(消极的) thoughts are like stones.You carry themin your mind just like those stones in a backpack.The more negative thoughts,the heavier your mind.

With great love,our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons in life.

I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.

    For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, so I often bent( 弯曲) my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.

    My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me "Stand straight and tall, Alisa. "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.

    My grandfather grew up in war﹣torn(战乱的) Europe." Stand straight, stand tall "meant something else then. After the war, he went to America.
