When I was young, my mother always spent lots of time sitting behind a sewing machine (縫紉機(jī)) with a happy look on her face. For all the three kids in our family, she made all the clothes.

My morn made it look so easy. But the first time I tried to make something, I just couldn't do it. I worked too quickly, and when I finished, it looked bad. Soon, I just gave up.

This summer, I really wanted to make a dress to wear at a party. I picked out some nice cloth, and I found a nice style in a book. I got so excited about Sewing that I couldn't even sleep.

I started early the next morning. My mom was having a meeting, so if I had questions, there could be no one to ask.

I started sewing slowly and carefully, and I tried to do everything right. When I was sewing the top, I made the neck too small. But the rest was fine.

"I'm finally finished!" I shouted two hours later. And it fit! For the first time, I could wear something I had made with my own hands!

If you want to learn something, my advice is don't give up when you can't do it well.

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.

1.An ordinary robot usually .

A．gets its energy from sugar

B．depends on batteries to work

C．can get food for itself

D．can work a few minutes without energy

2.From the passage, we can infer that a slug .

A．is a kind of insect B．is a kind of fish

C．can't see Slugbot D．can eat Slugbot

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.

B．Scientists are working to improve robots.

C．Robots in the future need to eat food like human.

D．Scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory are good at robots.

Do you like listening to music? Does all of the music bring happiness to you? Do you know some music is noise? What is noise? Noise is a loud or unwanted sound. It is also called noise pollution.

Where is noise from? Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, planes, farm tractors and TVs. And, to some people, rock bands are also noise.

What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors find that noise pollution can influence both our health and behavior. It can cause high stress levels, hearing loss, sleep problems, and other harmful effects.

Scientists use a unit(單位) of measure(測量) called a decibel to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talk measures between 40 to 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands can measure over 120 decibels. Noise at this high level causes the greatest hearing loss.
