无人机让快递“飞”到你身边

IT'S common to carry things on bikes, trains and even planes. But do you know small drones (无人机)can help carry packages to your home?

For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. 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 and is slightly bigger than a seagull (海鸥). It can deliver packages to buyers by drone to door.

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 noontime, the delivery drone will land your 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 US has been using armed drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky.

Yet 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.________ transportation(s) that can carry things are mentioned in the passage.

A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four

2.Which one about Project Wing is WRONG?

A.It is Google's latest project.

B.It is Google's invention of a drone delivery service.

C.It is slightly smaller than a seagull.

D.It is half plane and half helicopter.

3.The best thing about drone delivery services is that ________．

A.you can get your package on the floor

B.you can get your package for free

C.you can get your package secretly

D.you can get your package quickly

4.Astro Teller is a ________．

A.scientist B.farmer C.officer D.teacher

5.This passage is mainly about________.

A.how to carry things B.Google's delivery drone

C.a new kind of plane D.a big company, Google

Find a Job This Summer

This summer there are things that students can do to earn some pocket money or to help others. Also, many programs are offered by provincial government and its partners to help students find summer jobs. Here are a few ideas.

Deliver Newspapers

Teenagers can deliver newspapers—usually you ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house. Normally you have to have your own bike—and you have to get up early too, because people want their newspapers to read with their breakfast. If you are 15-18 and return to school this fall, you can find jobs of this kind.

Wash Cars

It's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money. Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again. Then you've got customers!

Give Older People a Hand

Lots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small　 things for them, like washing or keeping them company (陪伴). You earn money or not, and people in the neighborhood get your help.

Job Programs

If you are a student living in certain communities of the province, you are lucky. There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training. After that, you can start and run your own summer business, and you have a chance of winning awards of up to $1000. Go to the government website to learn more about these programs. People under 25 could build skills, find a job or start businesses all year round.

They are all great ideas. Just choose one of them to make some money. Then spend it or save it. But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are going.

1.What is special about Deliver Newspapers?

A.It requires one to get up early. B.It needs patience and strong body.

C.It offers help to neighbors. D.It gives training before work.

2.Which one provides training?

A.Deliver Newspapers. B.Wash Cars. C.Give Older People a Hand. D.Job Programs.

3.What can you learn from the passage?

A.It's hard for teenagers to find jobs. B.The elders don't want help from teenagers.

C.Washing cars is the best choice for teenagers. D.Whatever you want to do, safety comes first.

Bicycles are used by people of all ages around the world. It's common in many cities to see thousands of bikes streaming down a street.

At first, only men rode bicycles. It was thought that only men could run machines, and that women wouldn't be able to control a bicycle. In the 1890s, though, with women's growing independence(独立), bicycles offered women a way to travel by themselves. Today, of course, men, women, and children ride bicycles.

Most bikes today have two wheels, but you've probably seen other kinds, too.

Some people start riding bikes that have three wheels. The third wheel makes the bike easier to balance. These bikes are called tricycles. As you've seen, the bi- in bicycle means "two". The tri- in tricycle means "three". Bikes with three wheels aren't just for young children. They matter to adults because bikes with three wheels can help move people or things. The most common kind of adult tricycle is the rickshaw(黄包车). Rickshaws are used as bike taxis in many parts of the world.

Some bikes also have only one wheel and no handlebars(把手). These bikes are called unicycles. The first part of the word, uni-, means "one". Riding a bike with only one wheel is a balancing act—that's why unicycles are used in the circus(马戏团).

There are also bikes with four wheels. Bikes with four wheels are called quadracycles. Again, the first part of the word refers to the number of wheels. In this case, quadra-means "four".

根据上面短文内容填空。

1.People of all ages ________ bicycles around the world. It's common in many cities to see ________ bikes streaming down a street.

2.At first, only men rode bicycles. It was thought that women wouldn't have the ________ to control a bicycle. With women's growing independence, bicycles offered women ________ to travel by themselves.

3.Some people start ________ that have three wheels. The third wheel makes the bike achieve a balance ________.

4.Bikes with ________ aren't just for young children. They're ________ to adults because they can help move people or things.

5.There are ________ kinds of bikes mentioned in the article, but the rickshaw is ________ kind of adult tricycle.

What’s the most important thing for athletes (运动员) to win? Training hard? Having an excellent coach? Never giving up? Probably these are all very important, but according to a new book, the most important thing is getting enough sleep.

This book is Sleep to Win! by Dr. James Maas and Haley Davis. In this book, you can find out how getting more sleep helped　 fifteen-year-old Sarah Hughes win an Olympic gold medal. She said the biggest change she mad e in her training for the Olympics was getting more sleep. Sleep to Win! also gives examples of other professional athletes as well as student athletes becoming faster runners because of getting more sleep. For example, after Amber Way, a high school student in Michigan, changed her sleeping time from seven to over nine hours each night, her running speed increased a lot. She finally became the state champion (州冠军) after breaking five school records.

Dr. Haley Davis explained, “Why is sleeping so helpful? The reason is that teenagers whose bodies are still growing need to get about 9.25 hours of sleep each night. That’s about two hours more than most American teenagers are getting. Enough sleep helps the brain work properly. While teenagers are sleeping, their brains are preparing for the next day. A good night’s sleep can help them pay attention, make decisions and be creative.”
