It recently made public a new robot called Stretch. It is designed to do only one job: to move containers, or boxes, in large buildings called warehouses(仓库).Michael Perry is a manager of business development for Boston Dynamics. He said Stretch is the first robot designed for one job that the company has built. He added that the robot was developed because of requests from companies around the world. “We heard across warehousing that truck unloading is one of the most physically difficult and unpleasant jobs. And thats where Stretch comes into play,” Perry said.Stretch has a small base that permits it to move around small spaces in warehouses without having to design them again. The robot also has an arm with highly developed cameras that can identify and deal with boxes of many shapes and sizes. Perry said Stretch can pick up boxes that weigh about 23 kilograms. He adds that the robot can move about 800 boxes in one hour.Experts say the warehousing industry experienced strong growth in 2020. That growth is expected to continue this year. They say online buying during the COVID-19 health crisis drove the need for a huge expansion in delivery services. Boston Dynamics has not made the public know a price for Stretch. But the company said the system can be set up in present buildings.1 . What can we know about Stretch?A. It can carry out different tasks.B. It is good at lifting heavy objects.C.

Researchers at Purdue University in Indiana, the USA carried out a research on pig-gaming skills. The researchers were surprised that their test pigs were able to play some games.Researchers got the four pigs, named Ebony, Hamlet, Ivory and Omelet, to play a simple game at different levels. They had to move a joystick(操纵杆) with their nose to make a cursor move to a coloured wall. If they were successful, they got a tasty treat. Lead author Dr. Candace Croney said, "Its very clear that they knew what they were being asked to do." The research is in a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.The research was quite wide. The pigs spent many days playing the game. During the last 50 rounds, the pigs played the game on three different levels. If they were successful at one level, they moved to the next level. The higher levels had better treats. A scientist said, "The pigs clearly understood the connection between their own behavior, the joystick, and what was happening on the screen." Dr. Croney said it was important to understand how pigs get information, and what they are able to learn and remember. She said this would help us to learn what pigs think of interacting with humans. We could also understand what pigs think of different environments.1 . The pigs were tested to _.A. play video gamesB. play with ballsC. read newspapersD. listen to the radio2 . How did the pigs play games?A. With their tail.B. With their nose.C. With their feet.D. With their mind.3 . Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Four pigs took part in the tests.B.
