3 . If you are shopping in any toy store, you can easily find the different games and toys for boys and girls: There are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls and dark-colored toy cars, toy guns, and toy soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys.    1      

Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, the writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. This may happen for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink.    2     Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can influence the choices and the decisions they will make in the future. 

    3     Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy with that. “Pink says that you are soft and gentle.    4     I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,” she says. 

    5     Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change. This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change.”

A．Some parents are worried, too.

B．Blue says that you are strong and powerful.

C．Why do parents prefer to choose pink for their girls?

D．Different colors may have different influence on children.

E．In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.

F．But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink.

G．Besides, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.

4 . A big fair ended in Beijing. The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS,中国国际服务贸易交易会) took place from Sept. 4 to 9, 2020. It is a major service trade event. Visitors saw how new technologies are used in different areas. One highlight (亮点) this year was service robots. Let’s look at three of them.

Garbage sorting (垃圾分类) is new to many people. Swiss company ABB has designed (设计) a robot to help us do it. It uses two arms to pick garbage that comes down a conveyor belt (传送带). It then throws the garbage into the right bin. A screen can show how many pieces of garbage it has sorted.

Unitree, a company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, has made a robot dog. With an AI-powered smart camera, it can record everything it sees in real time. It can move up to 3.3 meters per second. It can also carry objects weighing up to 5 kg, about as heavy as 10 bottles of water. The robot dog can give people a hand in many ways. For example, it can move goods or search for people who go missing during disasters.

Can you hit back a ball that is served by a robot? Find out by playing against a ping-pong serving robot made by Chinese company Siasun. The robot can serve balls one by one automatically (自动地). It can change the speed, angle, and landing area of the balls as well. It can record your performance with a camera so you can review it later. It will help ping-pong players train and improve.

1. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
