With a brain the size f a pinhead, insects perfrm fantastic navigatinal （导航的）abilities. They avid bstacles and mve thrugh small penings. Hw d they d this, with their limited brain pwer? Understanding the inner wrkings f an insect's brain can help us in ur search twards energy-efficient cmputing, physicist Elisabett a Chicca f the University f Grningen demnstrates with her mst recent result: A rbt that acts like an insect.
In search f the neural（神经的） mechanism that drives insect behaviur, PhD student Thrben Schepe develped a mdel f its neurnal activity and a small rbt that uses this mdel t navigate. Schepe's mdel is based n ne main principle: always steer twards the area with the least apparent mtin.
He had his rbt drive thrugh a lng “crridr”—cnsisting f tw walls with a randm print n it—and the rbt centred in the middle f the crridr, as insects tend t d. In ther virtual envirnments, such as a space with bstacles r small penings, Schepe's mdel als shwed similar behaviur t insects.
“The mdel is s gd,” Chicca cncludes, “that nce yu set it up, it will perfrm in all kinds f envirnments. That's the beauty f this result.”
The fact that a rbt can navigate in a realistic envirnment is nt new. Rather, the mdel gives insight int hw insects d the jb, and hw they manage t d things s efficiently.
Chicca explains, “Much f rbtics is nt cncerned with efficiency. We humans tend t learn new tasks as we grw up and within rbtics. This is reflected in the current trend f machine learning. But insects are able t fly immediately frm birth. An efficient way f ding that is hardwired in their brains. In a similar way, yu culd make cmputers mre efficient.”
28. Why des Chicca want t study hw the insect brain wrks?
A. T make cmputers mre efficient.B. T understand the habit f insects.
C. T make use f insects' brain pwer.D. T reveal the inner part f insects' brain.
29. What des the underlined wrd “steer” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stretch. B. Stare. C. Wrk. D. Drive.
30. Hw did Chicca feel at the perfrmance f her rbt?
A. Regretful. B. Shcked. C. Satisfied. D. Cnfused.
31. What are the last tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. Hw t make a rbt that acts like an insect.
B. Why insects navigate mre efficiently than rbts.
C. Why a rbt can navigate in a realistic envirnment.
D. Hw humans tend t learn new tasks as they grw up.
D
We cannt argue with reality. We cannt argue with science. Therefre, we simply cannt argue with the fact that there are n straight lines in the universe.
Let's start with science. The science f a straight line falls under the subject f physics. It might seem like a cmplicated tpic, but the thery behind it is pretty simple. If yu start rwing in a bat frm ne place and keep sailing, the cncept f the curved（弯曲的） Earth will take yu in a circle and yu will end up where yu started. The brain frms the cncept f a straight line t simplify what yu see in nature. Cnsider it a tl fr the mind t recgnize reality.
The cncept f straight lines was cntrversial and heavily influenced the plitics and sciety f Eurpe frm the 15th century t the 17th century. Greek thinkers and schlars like Aristtle in the 5th century already prved that the Earth was a glbe, but many Eurpeans at that time did nt believe in this idea! Hwever, sme Eurpeans during the Age f Explratin denied this belief. Just as the famus Italian scientist Galile Galilei was persecuted（迫害） fr advcating a helicentric （日心的） mdel f the slar system, many thinkers like Girdan Brun were shamed fr believing that the Earth was rund.
Well, my friends, let's mve n t life. The cncept f nthing ging in a straight line can be assciated with life as much as it relates t science and architecture. Whenever yu d smething, it never turns ut t play ut exactly as planned. I especially knw that as a thirteen-year-ld! Life is a rugh rad—every time yu g frward, it is fllwed by tw steps back r t the side. Just like hw science explains it, life is a curvy path full f unexpected twists, turns, and adventures that nbdy can ever predict.
32. What des paragraph 1 functin as?
A. An intrductin t the tpic.B. A prf f the authr's pinin.
C. A means t attract sme scientists.D. An explanatin f a cmmn sense.
33. What wuld happen withut the cncept f straight line?
A. The mind culd nt recgnize realities.B. Things in nature might lk cmplicated.
C. What yu see in nature culd seem simple.D. Peple in the 16th century might find the Earth flat.
34. Which can best describe the rad f prving the Earth rund?
A. Plain and smth. B. Easy but fruitless.C. Lng and tugh. D. Bthersme but safe.
35. What's the best title fr the text?
A. A Straight Line: Everything Simple B. A Straight Line: Difficult T Prve
C. A Straight Line: Peple's Gd Wish D. A Straight Line: Simply Nn-existent

With a brain the size f a pinhead, insects perfrm fantastic navigatinal （导航的）abilities. They avid bstacles and mve thrugh small penings. Hw d they d this, with their limited brain pwer? Understanding the inner wrkings f an insect's brain can help us in ur search twards energy-efficient cmputing, physicist Elisabett a Chicca f the University f Grningen demnstrates with her mst recent result: A rbt that acts like an insect.
In search f the neural（神经的） mechanism that drives insect behaviur, PhD student Thrben Schepe develped a mdel f its neurnal activity and a small rbt that uses this mdel t navigate. Schepe's mdel is based n ne main principle: always steer twards the area with the least apparent mtin.
He had his rbt drive thrugh a lng “crridr”—cnsisting f tw walls with a randm print n it—and the rbt centred in the middle f the crridr, as insects tend t d. In ther virtual envirnments, such as a space with bstacles r small penings, Schepe's mdel als shwed similar behaviur t insects.
“The mdel is s gd,” Chicca cncludes, “that nce yu set it up, it will perfrm in all kinds f envirnments. That's the beauty f this result.”
The fact that a rbt can navigate in a realistic envirnment is nt new. Rather, the mdel gives insight int hw insects d the jb, and hw they manage t d things s efficiently.
Chicca explains, “Much f rbtics is nt cncerned with efficiency. We humans tend t learn new tasks as we grw up and within rbtics. This is reflected in the current trend f machine learning. But insects are able t fly immediately frm birth. An efficient way f ding that is hardwired in their brains. In a similar way, yu culd make cmputers mre efficient.”
28. Why des Chicca want t study hw the insect brain wrks?
A. T make cmputers mre efficient.B. T understand the habit f insects.
C. T make use f insects' brain pwer.D. T reveal the inner part f insects' brain.
29. What des the underlined wrd “steer” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stretch. B. Stare. C. Wrk. D. Drive.
30. Hw did Chicca feel at the perfrmance f her rbt?
A. Regretful. B. Shcked. C. Satisfied. D. Cnfused.
31. What are the last tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. Hw t make a rbt that acts like an insect.
B. Why insects navigate mre efficiently than rbts.
C. Why a rbt can navigate in a realistic envirnment.
D. Hw humans tend t learn new tasks as they grw up.

We cannt argue with reality. We cannt argue with science. Therefre, we simply cannt argue with the fact that there are n straight lines in the universe.
Let's start with science. The science f a straight line falls under the subject f physics. It might seem like a cmplicated tpic, but the thery behind it is pretty simple. If yu start rwing in a bat frm ne place and keep sailing, the cncept f the curved（弯曲的） Earth will take yu in a circle and yu will end up where yu started. The brain frms the cncept f a straight line t simplify what yu see in nature. Cnsider it a tl fr the mind t recgnize reality.
The cncept f straight lines was cntrversial and heavily influenced the plitics and sciety f Eurpe frm the 15th century t the 17th century. Greek thinkers and schlars like Aristtle in the 5th century already prved that the Earth was a glbe, but many Eurpeans at that time did nt believe in this idea! Hwever, sme Eurpeans during the Age f Explratin denied this belief. Just as the famus Italian scientist Galile Galilei was persecuted（迫害） fr advcating a helicentric （日心的） mdel f the slar system, many thinkers like Girdan Brun were shamed fr believing that the Earth was rund.
Well, my friends, let's mve n t life. The cncept f nthing ging in a straight line can be assciated with life as much as it relates t science and architecture. Whenever yu d smething, it never turns ut t play ut exactly as planned. I especially knw that as a thirteen-year-ld! Life is a rugh rad—every time yu g frward, it is fllwed by tw steps back r t the side. Just like hw science explains it, life is a curvy path full f unexpected twists, turns, and adventures that nbdy can ever predict.
32. What des paragraph 1 functin as?
A. An intrductin t the tpic.B. A prf f the authr's pinin.
C. A means t attract sme scientists.D. An explanatin f a cmmn sense.
33. What wuld happen withut the cncept f straight line?
A. The mind culd nt recgnize realities.B. Things in nature might lk cmplicated.
C. What yu see in nature culd seem simple.D. Peple in the 16th century might find the Earth flat.
34. Which can best describe the rad f prving the Earth rund?
A. Plain and smth. B. Easy but fruitless.C. Lng and tugh. D. Bthersme but safe.
35. What's the best title fr the text?
A. A Straight Line: Everything Simple B. A Straight Line: Difficult T Prve
C. A Straight Line: Peple's Gd Wish D. A Straight Line: Simply Nn-existent

As the New Year apprached, the businessman visited his relatives abrad, leaving my mther t watch ver his huse. He paid my mther duble wages fr her effrts, and prepared extra mney fr the ld man.

My mther didn't knw hw much time had passed befre she heard a knck n her dr. Curiusly, she pened it t find the ld man standing there, his face blming like a flwer.
“I asked many peple t find ut where yu live,” the ld man said, hlding the sweater my mther had given t him. “Happy New Year! I can finally give yu a gift,” the ld man said. “I dn't knw wh gave me this brand-new sweater alng with sme mney. It's s dense, and it's perfect fr yu t keep warm in the wind.” The sweater held in the ld man's hands was like a treasure. My mther's eyes blurred as she said, “It's just my gift fr yu.” At that mment, the warmth f their mutual care transcended the cld winter, weaving a bnd that was as strng as the sweater they shared.
