AWe can make all the jokes we want about taking baths ourselves, but if we are ill in bed and can't get up, we'll be thankful to the nurses who help us get clean. While I am not a nurse, and have never given anyone a bath, I would imagine that it would take a lot of sympathy (同情) and patience to do so. Yet those who attended the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems last month were introduced to Cody, a robot that can bathe human beings.The robot has a base that can be turned to all directions, two human­like arms, and movable wrists (腕). It uses a camera to locate parts of the human body. It then uses bath gloves to clean with a little pressure.The robot was designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Charles Kemp of the Healthcare Robotics Lab is the senior researcher for the project. In a test run, Cody was able to remove 96% of a test subject's dirt—not bad for a robot.But don't go asking for Cody yet—he's still a model. Yet researchers believe that one day Cody may take the place of nurses for this task. Researchers say that Cody will give patients dignity and protect their personal information. I suppose that would depend on the patient. I'm not sure whether a robot using a camera would ma ke me feel very dignified.Even so, I can appreciate the need. We don't have enough nurses to go around, and those places that are the most short­handed, for exa mple, nursing homes, are those that have the most patients who are unable to bathe t hemselves. Still, before I get there, I hope they think of a better way to solve the problem.21.

But, as we can’t drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine （海的，海产的）habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions（限制，约束） to protect fish6stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!31. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?A. small animals → algae → microscopic animals → large animals → manB. algae → microscopic animals → large animals → larger animals → manC. small animals → algae → large animals → microscopic animals → manD. microscopic animals → algae → large animals → larger animals → man32. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ________.A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the seaB. would change the balance of the food chainC. would be broken down in the seaD. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea33.

Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A. The use of international agreements.B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.C. The use of new techniques.D. Raising peopl e’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.35. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The importance of seawater.B. Life in the oceans.C. How to protect food chains.D.
