1、 At just 12 years old, Leonardo Nicanor Quinteros is still in middle school, 1. but he has already run his own free school. He helps other children with their studies.
Leonardo loves to study. After seeing some of his classmates trying to keep up at school, he decided to do something about it. Last year, he told his grandmother that he wanted to have his own school. 2. 他要奶奶帮他把学校建在他们家隔壁。She agreed. Today, the free school has nearly 40 students. The boy acts as teacher and headmaster. 3. He is proud that what he does has already made a big difference to many of the children there.
The school is not much to look at. It's made mostly of adobe(土砖) and is pretty small. 4. 但是,在邻居们的帮助下,学校正变得越来越好。Leonardo lives 20 minutes away from his own school. But every day he gets on his bicycle after coming home from school and rides to his own school. He teaches classes on different subjects, like math and grammar. Sometimes, 5. when his students cannot come, he gives the classes at night to make sure they don't get behind on their studies.
Leonardo does his best to help students improve their subjects. Many admit (承 认) that they have improved a lot. “He helped me to pass the tests, now I'm in Third Grade,” one of the students said.

24、Recently in a class in Tokyo, a robot teacher called Saya called out the names of students, and smiled at them. Her funny face made the students laugh. However, the inventor says she is not going to take the place of human teachers.
Unlike other robots without feelings, Saya has six feelings—surprise, fear, dislike, anger, happiness and sadness. She can also say simple phrases such as “Thank you” and “Sorry”.
“Robots that look like humans have an important influence on children and older people,”
Hiroshi Kobayashi, Saya’s developer, said.
Saya was first invented as a receptionist (接待员) robot in 2004. Later, she was tested in a real Tokyo classroom with many fifth and sixth grade students. “Although she still can’t do much more than call out names and shout orders like ‘Be quiet’, the children had great fun,” Kobayashi says. “They were very happy when Saya called out their names.”
Ronald C. Arkin, a scientist, says people should do more study on the interaction (互动)
between humans and robots before people depend on robots too much.
Kobayashi says, “Saya is just meant to help people, and we should not hold too much hope for her ability. She has no thought and no ability to learn. She is just a tool.”
【1】Saya is .
A. a Japanese woman teacher B. a Japanese girl
C. a robot teacher D. a scientist

25、 There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”
The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns(刺)!” “What a proud flower!” thought the trees.
As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.” Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt(枯萎).
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the tree what the birds were doing. The tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.
“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”
The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help.

I would like to talk to you about space vegetables, and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.
Space vegetables are grown from seeds(种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. The seeds are affected by radiation and low gravity in outer space. When they are brought back to the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的)than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure (暴露)to radiation in space. People should not be scared, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.
Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables:
Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces of radiation after testing.
Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the pepper(辣椒). Space peppers contain 20 per cent more Vitamin C than normal peppers.
After genetically modified(改进的) foods come onto the market, people worry that they are eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(对...过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, they won’t damage your health.

Steps taken to ensure the quality of space vegetables | Before being taken to the outer space, the seeds are carefully selected. |
When being brought back from space, seeds are 【1】 to see whether there are traces of radiation which might 【2】 to cancer. The testing has proved that they are perfectly healthy. | |

27、 The Great Wall is one of the most famous historical sites in the world today. Do you know that an Englishman has spent years protecting it?

In April 1998, William called together more than 120 volunteers all over the world to pick up rubbish. He also hired (雇用) local villagers to pick up rubbish. Later William realized that picking up rubbish was not enough to protect the Great Wall. To call on more people to make efforts, he founded the organization International Friends of the Great Wall in 2001.
