“Late again, Mavis! How many times I have told you to come back in time to help me cook dinner?” asked Mrs. Muntari.

“But, mummy, I can’t just walk out in the middle of a game!” said Mavis.

“You shouldn’t be playing the game in the first place.”

“But, mum, why can’t I? You never tell Adibe or Senze not to play football. I had to leave the game at half time and rush back so you wouldn’t get angry with me,”said Mavis.

“You are a girl! It is as simple as that. Boys and girls have different roles to play. I have 11 hungry mouths to feed and I need your help! You are the oldest girl not working, so it is your job to help me. That’s the way of our people. Now go and fry some more chicken.”

At the dinner table, Adibe and Senze were excitedly talking about today’s game, while eating the chicken Mavis had fried. They talked about how Mavis scored in the first half with a power shot from the halfway line. It was a great goal as their team was losing by 0-1 at that time.

Dad came home then and brought the boys a local newspaper, in which there was news about football scouts (球探) from England visiting Ghana (加纳). These scouts had asked to be allowed to visit schools to look for players of the future. Adibe and Senze looked at each other and cheered. “Wow, I’m going to be like Essien!” And they started arguing which one would make it as a superstar.

Mavis decided to take this chance. She stole out of home. When she arrived at the playground, one player happened to get injured (受伤) and the coach was worried. “I can take his place!” Mavis shouted. Though it was unbelievable to let a girl play, the coach agreed. During the second half, she made an amazing shot!

Earthquake rescue (救援) robots experienced their final tests in Beijing. The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.

This kind of robot is able to fly. It’s about three meters long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped (困住) by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.

Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, “The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn’t need a control from faraway places. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”

This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The cameraalso acting as a detector (探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark. With its 10-meter-long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen (氧气) and water.

Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.

23. In what way is the robot different from others, according to Dr. Qi?

A. It has a very special shape

B. It is able to fly everywhere

C. It works with no information set in

D. It doesn’t need a faraway control

阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。

Farmer Pak Sadiman has made it his task to do something about Central Java’s water shortage problem, little by little.

He has changed his dry village into a place rich in ground water by planting trees on nearby land for the last 19 years, and he is encouraging others to join in, too.

Sadiman realized that the land was in need of some water when the Gendol River - previously (以前) the source of water for villagers — was quickly drying up: Even rubber trees, the local people’s main source of income (收入来源), were so dry that they could no longer produce rubber latex (橡胶乳). It was then that Sadiman took action so that his children and grandchildren could take advantage of the planted trees,

“Banyan (榕树) trees, unlike rubber trees, can keep groundwater. The more banyan trees are planted, the more clean water villagers will get,” he thought. Although he went through a hard time, the farmer never became discouraged from achieving his goal — providing his village with a clean water source.

He’s planted at least 11,000 trees over the last 19 years, and his village seems to have escaped fromthe dry season. Villagers have joined in Sadiman’s efforts and worked alongside him to plant the trees. “Pak Sadiman is our hero. This village used to fight with water shortage, but now we have enough water because of him,” said the head of the village.

Sadiman said as long as he’s healthy, he’ll continue to plant trees to help provide clean water for his villagers.

51. What problem did the village have?

___________________________________

52. What did Sadiman do to solve the problem?

___________________________________

53. How long had Sadiman been working on the task?

___________________________________

54. What does the underlined words “escape from” in Paragraph 5 mean?

___________________________________

55. What do you think of Sadiman?

___________________________________
