1、A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply bylessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants' saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.

C、The advantages of the new robot in the medical field. D、The process of reducing people's fear of injections.(4)、What will researchers probably do next?A、Evaluate the risk of the robot. B、Develop other devices for medical treatment. C、Promote the application of the robot. D、Carry out more tests on the robot. -
2、"When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn't believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am. I'm at the Shaolin Temple!'," says Max Yollando, a young man from Coted'Ivoire, sharing hisattachment for Chinese culture.
Yollando is also known as Yanming, the Chinese name he was given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, where the "Shaolin kung fu" was born, and which today is like a magnet (磁铁) for fans from all over the world.
At the time, Yollando was a student at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he signed up at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan Province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture.
After returning to Cote d'Ivoire, Yollando continued to practice Chinese and study traditional Chinese culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple again and remained there for six years. His years at the temple reading, exercising, practicing kung fu and meditation (冥想) greatly changed him, and allowed him to better understand and appreciate traditional Chinese culture.
He says the most impressive things he noticed that rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect and recognition. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia. The first of its kind in Africa, the center is home to 30 orphans (孤儿), who are taught Chinese language and traditional Chinese culture, including kung fu, as part of the course.
For Yollando, the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to be able to return to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his compatriots (同胞). "The culture fascinated me because in China, people make an effort to work better, and they are very respectful and grateful to their family and country," he says.
(1)、Which can replace the underlined word "attachment" in paragraph 1?A、Confusion. B、Disappointment. C、Affection. D、Investigation.(2)、What made Yollando truly related to traditional Chinese culture?A、Learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute. B、Visiting the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. C、Reading traditional Chinese culture books. D、Working at a Shaolin cultural center.(3)、Which of the following can best describe Yollando?A、Brave. B、Determined. C、Humorous. D、Organized.(4)、What can we learn about the Shaolin cultural center in Zambia?A、Its courses are all about Chinese culture. B、It was funded by the Shaolin Temple. C、It is an official authorized agency. D、It is a charity. -

Chinese restaurants began to open in America in the mid-19th century, clustering (集中) on the west coast where the first immigrants landed.
They mostly served unique version of Cantonese cuisine — chop suey, egg fu yung and the like. In that century and much of the 20th century, the immigrants largely (flow) from China's south-east regions, mainly Guangdong province.
Restaurants began calling their food "Hunan" and "Sichuan", and though it (true) bore much resemblance to was eaten in those regions, it was more diverse and boldly spiced the sweet, fried stuff that defined the earliest Chinese menus.
By the 1990s, adventurous diners in cities with sizeable Chinese populations could choose many regional cuisines. A particular (favor) — Sichuan food, made its diners addictive with its extremely chilly dishes.
Virtually every small town had one Chinese restaurant and, generally, the menus were the same: (steam) pork dumplings; sour soup; stir-fries listed by main ingredients, a pepper star suggesting the amount of pepper.

The barrier was all too4. Born with muscular dystrophy (营养障碍), Thorleifsson has been using a5 since age 25. As he waited outside the shop, he6,"I thought about how strange it is that we7 families in this way."
Living all over the world as a creative director and digital designer, Thorleifsson had8 how different cities consider and plan for accessibility, from ramps (斜坡) and sidewalks to public9.

20、Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores, but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming.
Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self. It doesn't matter if we don't feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.
If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.
Additionally, farming teaches patience. It's especially true for the animals. Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.
There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.
A. Fairly often, things do not go your way.
B. Kids also learn to be grateful to animals.
C. In the meantime, they learn to work with others.
D. Teamwork is no longer a significant skill to develop and use.
E. Animals need to be fed and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.
F. Kids are also able to comprehend the value of hard work through farm life.
G. What they learn on a farm, however, can be instrumental in their future lives.
