10、ni pig.”Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. Its tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.But I was not letting that p
11、ig go. So I told Laura Id take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. Its better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surpri
12、se, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing fo

17、ook place in ancient Aesops mind, but while the great modern races can teach us a lot about commitment, perseverance (毅力) and the virtues of having a rather large engine, “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” may tell us everything about animals and even vehicles on this planet.In a study published this wee
18、k, Adrian Bejan, a professor of mechanical engineering, concludes that no one should be surprised that the tortoise wins over the seemingly speedier rabbit. In fact, after analyzing the reported speeds of land-air-and-water-based animals, Bejan concludes that the worlds well-known speedsters are act
19、ually among the slowest when their movements are averaged out over the course of a lifetime.The study builds on Bejans previous research showing that an animals speed increases with mass regardless of species. And that principle can also be extended to non-living things, like aircraft.After studying
20、 data from historical airplane models, Bajan noted the speed of each model increased with its size, too. That doesnt sound right. What about the modern jet fighter? How is that relatively small craft not faster than a clumsy large transport plane?Again, Bejan harks back to the tortoise. That transpo
21、rt plane spends lots of time in the air, moving regularly across long distances. The fighter jet, on the other hand, may fly across the sky occasionally, but-like the rabbit-its often found resting on the ground.The slow and steady transport plane wins the marathon of life.But like so many good stor
22、ies, Aesops tale offers even more than a lesson in perseverance.At one point, the rabbit asks the tortoise how he expects to win a race at such a slow pace.The tortoiseever focuseddoesnt respond But its the rabbits own words that provide the moment to reflect on, especially in modem times.“There is
23、plenty of time to relax,” Until there isnt.28. Why is the story “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” mentioned?A. To warm people not to be proud.B. To introduce a unique phenomenon.C. To help put forward the authors idea.D. To show the importance of perseverance.29. What has Bejan proved in his research?A.
24、 Airplanes improve in speed.B. Speed has nothing to do with size.C. Speed matters most in the animal worldD. Animals speed and mass go hand in hand.30. What lesson does the author want to teach us?A. We shouldnt look down on othersB. We should put our time to good use.C. Staying focused during races
25、 is important.D. People should often reflect on themselves.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Life is just like a race.B. Nearly all races are the sameC. Quickness is not all advantage in a race.D. The slow but steady are always winners.DThe long, white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms.
26、 Like other robots, it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs.Angus is a major part of operations at Alexanders indoor robot farm. about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco. The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants witho
27、ut soil. The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water. The indoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight.This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run. The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm, from sm
28、all containers to larger ones as they grow. Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet. Angus moves slowly to complete its work. But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms.For now, the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they a
29、re ready. But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too.Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google, where he worked on robotics at the companys Google x project. He teamed up with another former Google employee, Jon Binney. Together they
30、 founded Iron Ox.Iron Oxs website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water. It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land.Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more consistent and
31、 fresh product. Most of the vegetables sold in the U.S. are grown in California, Arizona, Mexico and other nations. That means that many people in U.S. cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores.Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affect
32、ed by bad weather. This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes.32. How does Angus work in the farm?A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants.B. It directs other robots to work in the farm.C. It works on collecting vegetables.D. It is in charge of transferring plants.33. What do we know about Alexander?A. He used to work on robotics at Google.B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney.C. He
