For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half plane and half helicopter（直升机）and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to customers’ doors.The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered（盘旋）, and released the package with a wire. Delivery is here!The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you package.Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step in the series.Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed（武装）drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky.Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.1.Paragraph 2 of the reading is mainly about ______.A. what a drone isB. how a drone worksC. how a drone is producedD. how a drone is designed2.

When I began to know what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44- year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus timetable, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needs. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only know items by sight, so if the product had a different sign, she would not know it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make fast progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt.At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experi ence, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.4.

It is very important in American culture. Americanstories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout Americacollecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love fornature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encoura ges children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.8. What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?A. Something for cutting apples.B. A person who likes to please others.C. A person who is dealing with fruits.D. A machine for cleaning apples quickly.9. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________.A. cookingB. medicineC. shoppingD. health10. Which of the following is TRUE with apples?A. Apples are medicine.B. Apples are the most important fo od.C. New York is famous for its big apples.D. The Bible says Adam was given an apple.11.
