Seeing the puzzled look on his mum's face, Jordan quickly told her the design of his new costume MaxMag on his car. She smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "No time to wait! Let's get startedexclaimed his dad who just went in. For Iwo nights, they cut, pasted, folded and unfolded the box; they drew on it and colored it to make it look like a real car; and they glued the old MaxMag costume onto it. When the new costume was finally ready, Jordan tried it on several times and continued to make necessary changes until satisfied.Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn't wait to show his costume. When he wheeled himself into the party, he immediately spotted the three MaxMags. When they saw him, they couldn't believe it. “The MaxMag and his car? That's awesome!” Danny's eyes lit up. "The wheels of your chair are just perfect!'' said Tom. "You even have the headlights! It's so cooL“ Izzy pointed to the front. Jordan beamed. “Thanks!” When it was time to announce the winner, Jordan joined his friends by the stage. uThe winner of this year's Harvestfest costume contest is the principal paused to read the name off the card, “Jordan Eastman!” Everyone clapped. "See? You just needed to be creative! Alice said. t4You mean think outside the box!” Jordan patted on the flaming-red car attached to his chair, with an iconic MaxMag smile.(2)Jordan's eyes fell on the box and he smiled, "It's perfect . with my wheelchair/' Realizing Mom was confiised, he quickly added, "That's a cool desk, Mum. But can I have the big box fbr the Harvestfest contest? He then explained excitedly how to turn it into a mobile refrigerator. "Brilliant! You will definitely be the superhero of the party, serving people their favourite drinks,“ Mum exclaimed with a broad smile. In the following days, his priority after school was designing and making the new costume, fixing it to his wheelchair and exquisitely making a door. Finally, he even prepared some soft drinks to surprise his friends.Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn't wait to show his costume to his friends. When he wheeled himself in as a mobile refrigerator, he heard admiring exclamations, guessing about who it would be. Jordan felt an increasing sense of pride and satisfaction. When he spotted a chocolate bar, he quickly moved towards it, stopped just several inches in front and quickly opened the door. "Jordan, it's you Alice cried out. Jordan passed her her favourite drink. "Thank you, Alice. That's an idea outside the box." That night, although he didn't win the best costume award from the principal, Jordan felt like the real MaxMag: his body and soul were no longer confined to the wheelchair. And he came to realize: there is hidden potential in everyday items, and so il is with every individual.fitness tracker.

According to a new study, animal robots may be just as effective, if not better, at providing therapeutic（治疗的）benefits to children as real pets. As someone who has both interacted with real dogs and robots, I can tell you that this is quite a bold claim.Sure, robots may have some benefits over real dogs. They can work for longer hours and won't cause allergies（过敏）or pass on diseases. But can a robot give you that wet-nosed, tai I-wagging, slobbcr-fillcd experience that a real dog can? 1 think not.Now, I'm not saying that robots don't have their place in therapy. In fact, I can see how an animal robot could be helpful in certain situations where a real dog might not be possible. But let's not go replacing all the good boys and girls with robots just yet.As for the study, it's interesting to see that while the kids said they loved real-life dogs better, they actually spent more time interacting with the robot. I can only imagine that it was doing some pretty impressive tricks, some robot dance or robot jokes maybe, to hold the kids' attention for that long.In all seriousness, though, I do think it's important to consider the welfare of therapy dogs. Visiting hospitals can be stressful and tiring for them, and we should be exploring all options to make therapy experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible for both the animals and the patients.So, while I may not be ready to trade in my furry friends for robots just yes, I am open to the idea of introducing animal robots into therapy programs. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll all have our own personal robot pets that can provide us with just as much love and companionship as the real thing. But until then, Til stick with my trusty furry friends.24. What is the text?A. A response to a recent study.B. A. summary of a scientific study.C. Anews report of a new invention.D.

So it is with Fann My School, a program that's turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens fanned by and for local communities.Co-founded by permacukurist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a schoofs market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction, and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families, supply the schoofs food needs and ultimately pay the farmer's salary.Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shoutout to buy tickets to the program's launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Fann in a Day Festival the event featured workshops by Ben and Janies to share the skills required to build what they say is the world's largest no-dig garden. *it was such a powerful event, and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,“ says James. t4We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn't even need free drinks to get excited. We were gardening till midnight. It was amazing. We've got true community buy-in.”Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school. Next steps include further discussions with local communities, employing a farmer, and bringing in a teacher to develop courses. "We've seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces, not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world, and really seeing the school in a whole new light/' James says. “For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it's not only on the school to look after that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,M adds Ben.28.

To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot(鹦鹉),Alex, to reproduce the sounds of the English language.Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store's assistant choose him because she didirt want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex's brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pcppcrberg's communication study would be futile.But with Pepperberg5s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 10() English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird's understanding of the world.In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look al. "What's the same?” she asked. ”Co-lor," Alex responded without hesitation. "What's different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape, “Alex quickly replied. His voice had the sound of a cartoon character. But the words and what can only be called the thoughts were entirely his. Many of Alex's skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of4same,andkdifferent, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.During the demonstratio
