Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well not all of them.

Scientists in England have built a kind of small robots that get their energy from dead flies, bad apples, or sugar.

One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt(獵取) garden slugs for dinner!

What's up with all that food?

Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for a long time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places.

Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don't have electrical sockets(插座).

So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: Build robots that get their energy just like animals do by hunting and eating food from their environment.

One robot, called Ecobot Ⅱ, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! Of course, it'd still get a lot more power from one AA battery, though.

Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system.

It seems that after an eight fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn't deal with the leftover(剩下的) "waste".

Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls, and robots.

3.What kind of robots do inventor Chris Melhuish want?

A．Robots that can provide people with food.

B．Robots that can work in dangerous places.

C．Robots that can get energy for themselves.

D．Robots that can be very small.

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?

A．Robots need to work in places that have no sockets for power.

B．Melhuish is not very satisfied with Ecobot Ⅱ.

C．Maybe there will be three kinds of restrooms in the future.

D．Ecobot Ⅱ can turn its flies into energy completely.

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．Robots are hard things to invent.

Damini Bansal (14 years old)

Freedom is something different in everybody's way of thinking—a student would probably like to raise a revolt(造反) against all the obnoxious(易受傷害的) rules of his or her school and as a grown up one might want to have less responsibilities(責(zé)任).

Freedom according to me is the power in me to make some of my life's decisions on my own. And this Independence Day (獨(dú)立日) will be a lot more different than our first one in 1947 when people actually came to know what it was like to be free, for them it was the dawn of a new day, it was a day when they could do what they felt was right.

We have come far from all of this. We now no longer see the Independence Day as a day of very great importance for the students of my class (and most of the children of my age), and the most important value is that it is a holiday.

Arihant Jain (12 years old)

We can do anything we want like not going to school.

Everything should be free. We should not pay money to buy anything.

Can go anywhere I want…to the playground when exams are on.

Chatting on phone as long as I want.

To eat dinner outside everyday.

In school being able to play sports and not study.

Flying Kites.

1.For a school student, freedom means .

A．bad etiquettes B．breaking the school rules

C．a(chǎn)rguing with others D．refusing to do homework

2.As a student, Damini Bansal thinks .

A．the power that makes his own decisions

B．freedom should be free time that students like

C．freedom means to fight against too much homework

D．students should be against the unfair rules of their schools freedom

3.Damini Bansal and his classmates treat Independence Day as .

A．a(chǎn) normal holiday B．a(chǎn) day that they can enjoy freedom

C．a(chǎn) dawn of a new day D．a(chǎn) day of great importance for them

4.From what Arihant Jain says, we can infer that .

A．Arihant Jain wants to learn to cook at home

B．Arihant Jain is a girl who doesn't want to go to school

C．Arihant Jain doesn't want to go shopping at all

D．Arihant Jain wants to have a new phone very much
