2020 Games.Englishis not required for service,but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young.Takamizawasaid that she was in high school when World War Two started.She said,“In my second year there,English was banned because it was the enemy language.”Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not

children haircuts,texting their college kids to wake them up so they dont sleep through a test,and even calling theirkidsemployers.Helicopter parenting,the practice of wandering anxiously near ones children,monitoringtheir every activity,is so 20th century.Some rich mothers and fathers now are more likesnowplows:machines moving ahead,clearing any difficulties in their childrens path to success,so they dont have to suffer failure,frustration(挫折)or lose opportunities.It starts early,when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies areborn and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them.It gets moreintense when school starts:running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to requestthat their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children dontever meet with failure,but its not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting.This intensiveparenting has become the most welcome way to raise children,regardless of income,education,orrace.Yes,its a parents job to support the children,and to use their adult wisdom to prepare forthe future when their children arent mature enough to do so.Thats why parents hide certain toysfrom babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenagers car keys until he finishes his collegeapplications.But snowplow parents can take it too far,some experts say.If children have never faced adifficulty,what happens when they get into the real world?“Solving problems,taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,”many childdevelopment experts say,“and if parents dont let their children experience failure,the childrendont acquire them.”28.What do we know about snowplow parenting?A.It appeared

possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?A.Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.B.Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C.Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D.Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.DA robot created by Washington State University(WSU)scientists could help elderly peoplewith 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 todetermine where its residents are,what they are doing and when they need assistance with dailyactivities.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 liketheir medication or a snack in the kitchen.“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of aWSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment,as the need for help is detected,”saidBryan Minor,a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering andComputer Science.Currently,an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every dayactivities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance inthe 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 thefinancial 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 howRAS 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 beenpromising,”Minor said.“The next step in the research will be to test RAS performance with agroup of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts,video reminders and other preferencesthey have regarding the robot.”32.How does RAS serve elderly people?A.Through sensors.B.Through objects.C.Through a mobile robot.D.Through their daily activities.33.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.34.Whats Minors attitude toward the future of RAS?A.Doubtful.B.Negative.C.Optimistic.D.Uncertain.35 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.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Our world is
