Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier ,” said Guo, “    1     Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”

    2       When Guo scans(扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative with many pictures, music and even videos.

    3       “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,”said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation.     4    

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time.     5     And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

A.The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by e-mail, QQ and WeChat.
B.But some students don’t like WeChat or QQ.
C.Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time.
D.The students want to work harder this term.
E.When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat.
F.I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.
G.Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting.

文章大意:本文主要介绍了用于照料室内植物的机器人——The Hexa Plant。

【推荐2】The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted (盆栽的) plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.

The robot was developed by the Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower siting in the darkness in a room back. “Plants only receive an action without responding,”Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”

According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tiangi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency (趋势) towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.”

The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.

1. What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?
A.It helps people plant some flowers.B.It waters the plants through dancing.
C.It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight.D.It carries the potted plant with its hands.

A.The way plants spend their whole lives.
B.The common way people deal with plants.
C.The difference between plants and humans.
D.The cause of making the indoor plants’ helper.
3. What does Sun Tianqi try to do using this technology?
A.To develop gardening skills.B.To draw people’s attention to plants.
C.To make plants experience the move.D.To study the living conditions of plants.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.An Indoor Plants’ HelperB.A New Market for Robots
C.An Important Development in GardeningD.The Ways of Gardening in the Future

【推荐3】Ping-Pong Door

Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door. It was designed by Tobias Fränzel from Germany. Cool idea!

Dog Watch

The dog watch is actually a “clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time” and was invented in 1991. With this handy(便利的) watch, you can know time at your animal's rate instead of your own. According to the inventor, the watch multiplies(乘) every human second, minute and hour by seven, giving us “doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years!

Earthquake House

Big earthquakes can hit a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But our inventor has found a way, the Earthquake House!

His idea is simple. Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it. If the sensors know the big earthquake, the house will be free from its chains(链条). Don't worry. You always remain upright in it. We don't recommend this for a hillside home because there aren't any brakes to stop it!

Smell This

How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It's difficult to know because it's very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.

1. If a dog lives to 5 years old, that translates to ________ human years.
A.25B.30C.35D.40
2. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “brake” means “________”.
A.something for repairingB.something for slowing or stopping
C.something for eatingD.something for breathing
3. You can find such a passage in the materials EXCEPT ________.
A.newspapersB.magazinesC.science booksD.storybooks
