With coronavirus outbreaks at different stages around the world, in many countries lockdowns are being carefully eased off while urging citizens to keep on practicing the social distancing rules. Singapore is trying a new way of carrying it out—a robot dog. The government has arranged Spot, a yellow and black robotic dog made by Boston Dynamics Company, at one local park. The same robot has been previously seen dancing to hit song “Uptown Funk.”However, 2020 is an extremely difficult year and the company is trying to assist the national coronavirus-control effort. In turn, the job has been handed over to Spot. The four-legged robot dog patrols(巡查) the park and broadcasts a pre-recorded message to encourage visitors to observe safe distancing measures. As it walks around the park, the dog says in a female voice, “Let's keep Singapore healthy. For your own safety and for those around you, please stand at least one meter apart. Thank you.” Spot is one of the world's most advanced robots and unlike wheeled robots, it is capable of going pretty much anywhere a dog can go and can walk up to three miles per hour over different areas, making it ideal for operation in public parks and gardens. Furthermore, it is remotely controlled and has cameras with 360-degree vision and analytic tools to scan the surroundings and help officials estimate the number of people gathering in the park. For now, the pilot project is currently set to run in a limited trial for two weeks at one park during off-peak(非高峰)hours. But if all goes well, authorities will consider expanding the program to improve enforcement(强制)of social distance throughout on Singapore Spot is also being used in other ways during the public health crisis beyond just patrolling a park.

If you're out for a run, what difference does it make if you're able to tough it out for another 50 seconds? If you're less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. How do you get those extra seconds of energy? A research team at the Texes Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance. The researchers based the study on a stress testing. As part of the testing, they noted any changes in heart rate and blood pressure as participants underwent physically stressful exercise. The tests were done on treadmills (跑步机), which increased in both speed and incline (坡度) through three stages. In the final stage, the treadmills moved at 10 miles per hour at a 14-percent grade. Most of these tests were designed to last up to 40 minutes. The average gym-goers lasted 30 minutes. For this study, they divided 127 participants into two groups. One listened to upbeat(快节奏) music, while the other group had earbuds in but did not listen to music. The group that listened to music was able to outlast the non-music group by an average of 50.6 seconds. Again, being able to go an extra minute may seem like a no-brainer ,but “after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot," said the study's lead author, Waseem Shami, MD. The study has confirmed something runners and gym-goers have suspected for years: Listening to music during workout can be beneficial to your endurance. "Our findings reinforce the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine," said Shami. When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too." 【1】Why did Shami’s team conduct the research? A.To test the effect of music on health. B.To know the cause of failure in sports. C.To improve runners' exercise tolerance. D.To record the body change of participants 【2】What did the researchers than about the Participants in the stress testing? A.They ran much faster than average runners. B.They created a new record of indoor sports. C.They could run a little longer with music on. D.They all enjoyed extreme physical challenge 【3】What do the underlined words “a no-brainer” mean in paragraph 4? A.A dull activity. B.A foolish action. C.A demanding task. D.An easy practice 【4】What did Shami suggest us doing in the last paragraph ? A.Developing a daily exercise routine. B.Listening to music while working out C.Participating in physical stress testing. D.Taking exercise as doctors recommend. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 Nita was recently married and had started living with her husband and mother-in-law. Nita's mother-in-law was conservative whereas Nita was liberal with modern lifestyle. Soon they both started quarreling due to differences in opinions and lifestyle. As days and months passed, neither of them changed their behavior. Nita became very aggressive over time and started to hate her mother-in-law. Once, as usual, when she quarreled with her mother-in-law, her husband took his mother's side. She became so angry as to leave to her father's home. Nita's father was a chemist and she told him about everything that's been happening. Then she pleaded her father to give her something poisonous, so she could mix it up and give it to her mother- in- law to get rid of her. Nita's father felt pity at her situation but tried to persuade her not to do anything against the law. However, Nita was in no mood to listen and understand. Finally, a clever idea occurred to his mind. He brought a powder and told her, "Every day when you make lunch or dinner, just mix a little of this powder in your mother-in-law's meal, since the quantity is less, she will die slowly in a few months and people will think she has died naturally". He also told her, “Because no one should have doubt on you, from today onwards, you will not fight at all with your mother-in-law but instead you will be very caring towards her, even if she is rude to you, you will simply be polite only". Nita agreed, thinking she would be free from her mother-in-law's quarreling in a few months. As advised by her father, she started mixing the powder in her mother-in-law's meals and behaved in a caring and polite manner whenever her mother-in-law said something bad. Paragraph 1: As time passed, Nita's mother-in-law's nature also started to change. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: She hurried to her father's home and asked for the antidote( 解药) to cure the effect of that poisonous powder. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
