Logan Wells, a high school student in Massachusetts, developed an app that makes it easier for people to care for loved ones with dementia(痴呆).

Logan was 15 when his grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. "You can't imagine    1    terrible its effect was, not only on my grandmother, but on my parents and other family members," Logan said. "It became really hard to stay on    2    same page, because we had to have multiple group chats."

So, he came up    3    the idea for CareZare, which enables caregivers to work as a team through a communication website. Logan did the coding    4    (entire) by himself while his father assisted him in creating the original design and undertook the marketing.

The free app allows users    5    (create) a profile(档案)centered around the individual with dementia and invite other people to join and receive    6    (message). With the app, you can schedule events, confirm completed tasks, and even add a "heads up" such as the current mood of the patient or poor weather conditions.

The app is currently being used by over 600 families and they enjoy    7    (share) their opinions about it.    8    (please) with that, Logan is hoping it will grow.

"So far our users    9    (be) great about giving us feedback so we can tailor(定做)the app to their needs," he said. "Caregiving is such an important issue for them because it's so    10    (person) for them, just as it is for me."

Over the past 50 years, robots     1     (become) a normal part of our everyday life. They build cars in factories, clean up dirt in the house and deal with bombs in war zones. However, some     2     (invent) are trying to create a future where robots not only do our boring and dangerous jobs but also become a part of our families.

Japanese Robotics Company introduced LOVOT,     3     robot that weighs as much as a baby and looks like a mix between a penguin and a bear.     4     LOVOT cannot build a car, it can build a relationship with     5     (it) owner and provide love and companionship. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help those     6     feel lonely.

Robots     7     LOVOT are being developed at the perfect time. Many countries have“aging societies” with the populations of old people     8     (outweigh) young people, resulting in more people who not only need assistance with things like getting dressed and cooking meals but also friendship and love.    9     (addition), it is predicted that 40 percent of Japanese will be living alone by 2040, meaning loneliness among younger populations may also increase significantly. However, if LOVOT can give us all the affection we gel from pets     10     any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.

Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out.

So on a chilly January evening last year, the two friends ventured (冒险) onto the frozen pond near their homes in Frankfort, Illinois,    1    (get) a better look. First they cast a rock onto the ice to test it, then they stepped on it.    2    (convince) the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, then … FOOMP. He crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. There was no sound, he just fell instantly.

Cruz rushed to help his terrified friend. FOOMP -- the pond swallowed him too. Cruz managed to lift

    3    out of the frozen water and onto a more solid section. He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony. But the ice     4    (not hold), and he fell in again. This time, he couldn’t get out. The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs. There was not much chance     5    they could free themselves from the trouble. Cruz was sure he was going to die.

Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys     6    (fall) into the pond and started creaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy(浮标)，kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water,    7    (chop) his way through the ice with his free fist. Lavin made his way    8    Cruz and Anthony and pull them back to land. They were taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water    9    (lower) their body temperature nearly ten degrees.

Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered,    10    they are still a little awestruck(惊叹的)by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “If he hadn’t been there, I would have died.”

One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop,     1    (worry)about being late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop,     2     some of them looked very anxious and     3    (disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next     4     the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike     5    (catch)my attention. He was riding beside the bus,     6    (wave)his arms. I heard a passenger behind me     7    (shout)to the driver, but he refused to stop until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept riding. With something     8    (carry)over his shoulder, he kept shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up to the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, “Did anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted, “Oh dear! It is mine.” She pushed her way to the driver and took     9     suitcase thankfully. Everyone on the bus began talking about what the boy had done, and the crowd of strangers     10    (sudden)became friendly to one another.
