A robot created by Washington State University (WSU)

scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and

other limitations live independently in their own homes.

The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors

installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents

are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with

daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around

obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions

on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects

like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.

"RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the

activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide

assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said

Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of

85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing

meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this

assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of

adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that

technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some

of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it

easier for older adults to live alone.

RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate

into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that

demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults

struggling to live independently.

"While we are still in an early stage of development, our

initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The

next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a

group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video

reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."

（1）How does RAS serve elderly people?

A. Through sensors.

B. Through objects.

C. Through a mobile robot.

D. Through their daily activities.

（2）What can we know about RAS?

A. It is the first robot used in daily life.

B. Its function remains to be tested.

C. It can locate people and do any task.

D. It can cook for owners on its own.

（3）What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?

A. Doubtful.

B. Negative.

C. Optimistic.

D. Uncertain.

（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Elderly people leave the nursing home.

B. Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.

C. RAS, the first robot to make home smart.

D. Older adults have benefited from RAS.

【答案】（1）A

（2）B （3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人，可以帮助那些痴呆或有身体缺陷的老年人在家里过上自立的生活。

（1）考查细节理解。根据章第二段中的“ The Robot Activity

Support System, or RAS, uses sensors （传感器）equipped in a

WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they

are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities”可知机器人活动支持系统（RAS）使用WSU智能家居中配备的传感器（传感器）来确定其居民在哪里，他们在做什么以及何时需要日常活动的帮助，说明传感器起到了重大的作用，故选A。

（2）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The next step in the

research will be to test RAS' performance…”可知，这台机器人的表现还要经过进一步的测，说明正在测试阶段，故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“ While we are still in

an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have

been promising”可知，Minor对这款机器人的未来发展充满信心、非常乐观，故选C。

（4）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了一款由美国华盛顿州立大学的科学家们研发的机器人。再根据最后一段中的“The

next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance ”可知，机器人目前还在华盛顿州立大学的智能屋里进行测试，故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，同时根据上下文进行逻辑推理，概括归纳，从而选出正确答案。

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years

were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider,

bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned

my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity

to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater

purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness

and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life

would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help

them feel less alone.

Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that

the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me

with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to

become an author so I could write books that would help other

teenagers the way those books helped me.

After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I

made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next

steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only

possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have

been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful

for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single

Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So

doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But

there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!

Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a

smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The

chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical

and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New

Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.

When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙)

There is a beautiful story I heard once about a child playing with a vase(花瓶) his mother had

left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned at the sound of her son crying, she

saw that his hand was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She tried to help him and pulled and

pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast. How would they get it out?

The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the child's hand might be

cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed, there would be no other alternative. So he

said to the boy, "Now, let's make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out

straight, like I'm doing, and then pull!" "But Dad," said the boy, "if I do that, I'll lose my penny!"

Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, he

found himself becoming steadily angry. A woman had picked up her phone and begun a loud

conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the

woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.

When the train arrived at its destination, Winston rushed out. He'd had enough of the

woman's rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they

showed her Winston's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude.

Winston's tale is something of a microcosm(缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by

social media. What can we do to fix this?

Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and could not

read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.

Beethoven's music teacher said about him, "As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless." What if

this young boy had believed it?

When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never

learn anything. He once said, "I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was

always at the foot of my class ... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a

stupid person." What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him?

We talk a lot in the U.S. about success. Success is the dream and the end point. And not by

coincidence the idea that hard work leads to personal success is as American as apple pie.

But the reality is that sometimes we fail. And sometimes things, through no fault of our own,

don't go our way. We're faced with a life-changing diagnosis (诊断), the passing of a loved one or

job loss. We don't, as a society, have as much to say here.

I think uncertainty does us all harm. We'd feel better equipped to deal with uncertainty if we

talked about it more. I had so fully bought into the belief that with enough effort, I could control

what happened in my

life. I actually caught myself thinking I could "work

my way

out" of

cancer. As it turns out, cancer doesn't really care about one's work.

Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of

never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and

disappointment.

My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try

to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I

always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something

minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that

required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee

table.

I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to

A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed a department full of

psychologists, all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs(豚鼠) for their latest theories.

If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one,

I'd cast a careful glance and ask "Why?" before grabbing the apple pie.

So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the

bathroom persuading all of us to "Think about five things for which you're grateful every day for a

week!" my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot

of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.

I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of our school's Psychological Services

I'm not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We'd have lunch,

talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came

Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had

kept from me.

Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No

longer hidden, they're thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless

advertisements for the worst of their personalities.

Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you'd find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read

his Facebook and you realize he's an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He'd pause to have a cup

of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.
