Last Friday, a special event tk place at the Natinal Theater f Krea. A rbt called EveR 6 led an rchestra in a perfrmance f Krean music. Rbts have led rchestras in ther cuntries, but this was the first time in Krea.
EveR 6 is a rbt built by the Krea Institute f Industrial Technlgy (KITECH). EveR 6 has jints in its neck, shulders, elbws, and wrists. As a result, it can mve its arms quickly and smthly in many different directins. But EveR 6 desn't think n its wn like sme Artificial Intelligence (AI) prgrams. Instead, it has a limited grup f mvements that it has been trained t perfrm. EveR 6's mvements are based n mvements “captured” frm real human cnductrs.
In Friday's perfrmance, the Natinal Orchestra f Krea presented a cncert titled “Absence”. The cncert included five different pieces f music. Tw were cnducted by EveR 6, and tw were cnducted by S-Yeul Chi, wh led the Busan Philharmnic Orchestra. Bth cnductrs wrked tgether n the final piece.
Mr. Chi was impressed with the way EveR 6 mved. But the rbt's greatest weakness is that it can't hear. “Sme peple think that cnducting is just a cmbinatin f hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr. Chi. But a gd cnductr needs t listen t the rchestra s that he r she can crrect and encurage the rchestra as it plays.
Mr. Chi said that nce EveR 6 started, the musicians had “n chice but t fllw its beats.” He said this created a situatin where “the perfrmers have t cmmunicate with each ther t fllw the right beats.” Mr. Chi desn't think rbts are likely t replace human cnductrs. Hwever, he believes rbts culd be helpful in situatins like practice sessins where the same thing needs t be repeated many times.
66. What can we learn abut EveR 6?
A. It is trained by human cnductrs. B. It can wave its arms smthly.
C. It has perfrmed in Krea many times. D. It is mre advanced than ther AI prgrams.
67. Wh cnducted the final piece f the cncert?
A. EveR 6. B. Mr. Chi. C. EveR 6 and Mr. Chi. D. Nbdy
68. What is the biggest limitatin f EveR 6?
A. It cannt hear and respnd t the rchestra.
B. It has difficulty capturing humans' mvements.
C. It cannt beat time with its fingers.
D. It desn't have human-like facial expressins.
69. Which can best describe EveR 6 being used in daily practice?
A. Unwrkable. B Hard-t-useC. Time-saving. D. Useful.
70. What is the main idea f the text?
A. EveR 6 brings cnducting a bright future. B. Krean rbt cnducts rchestra.
C. The war between rbts and musicians is n. D. AI rbts create music and perfrm it n stage.

Milan-based cmpany Krill Design is changing the way we think abut waste by creating furniture prducts frm a plastic-like bimaterial named Rekrill. The special material is bidegradable, and can be used repeatedly.
Funded in 2018, Krill uses fruit skin, range seeds and cffee grunds cllected frm businesses in Italy t create their unique designs, including bkends, clcks, bwls, and lamps. Each prduct is made thrugh a fur-step prcess. “There are a lt f cmpanies that create designs, and we want t be different,” says MarcDi Mai, directr f peratins at Krill.
Krill has wrked tgether with sme well-knwn brands and has als jined in a C. ffee Era prject with the gvernment f Milan t reduce cffee waste prduced in three f the city's neighbrhds. Krill has made prducts that match the clr f fd waste. Fr example, bright range prducts are frm range skin and rich dark brwn prducts are frm cffee grunds.
Rekrill is as strng as wd and breaks dwn safely unless it's tuched by water r acidity. It is als safe fr fish t eat. But despite its ec-friendly benefits, Rekrill is mre expensive than cmmn plastic due t its cmplex prductin prcess. Hwever, Krill hpes that as awareness f the envirnmental impact f plastics grws, Rekrill will be mre widely used. Krill is explring the use f ther fd waste, such as eggshells and leftver tmates and grapes, aiming t make its prductin prcess mre efficient and cst-effective.
The cmpany believes Rekrill is the material f the future. Every small step they take tward a sustainable wrld cntributes t a mre recyclable ecnmy and inspires thers t fllw suit.

Dear fellw students,
With the ppularity f takeaway, I've nticed many students arund me chse it as a regular meal. Hwever, it is an unhealthy diet.
First f all, takeaway cntains high fat and calrie. Depending n it t much, we are likely t put n weight. Besides, withut enugh nutritin, ur bdy will nt functin well in the lng run. T slve this prblem, we shuld bear a balanced diet in mind. In ur daily life, we'd better take in mre grains, eggs, milk, fruit and vegetables t satisfy ur daily needs. What's mre, hme-made fd is a better chice fr us, which is mre nutritius and tasty. We can sense the family lve as well while we enjy it.
Let's have less takeaway frm nw n and frm a healthy eating habit.
