Robert Downey Jr. is famous for being a beloved Hollywood actor, but now he is adding “robotics environmentalist” to his list of good qualities. Earlier this week, the Iron Man actor took to the stage at the Amazon Re: Mars conference in Las Vegas to announce the creation of his new foundation which will use nanotechnology (纳米技术) and robotics as a means of cleaning up the planet.

Downey Jr. did not show many details on how the organization will begin its clean-up job, but a website went live shortly after the actor’s announcement. As of right now, the website only includes a sign-up sheet for future newsletters and latest news, but Downey Jr. says that he will be spending the next 11 months working together with UN experts and building up the organization so the group can get to work by April 2020.

After that, Downey Jr. says that “between robotics and nanotechnology we could probably clean up the planet noticeably, if not entirely, within a decade.” Downey Jr. also explained how his failure to look after the environment in the past is now inspiring him to take action, “I have this quiet sense of crisis (危机),” he said, according to reporters. “I’m a person who spends a lot of energy on things like plane trips, but I want to change.” Regardless of the actor's plan, Downey Jr’s net worth is about $81 million-more than enough to start tidying up the planet.

The Re: Mars conference, which stands for “Machine learning, Automation, Robotics and Space”, hosted a lot of speakers who gave lectures on the benefits of artificial intelligence. In addition to announcing the start of his organization, Downey Jr. also talked about how he and his wife Susan will be the managing producers of a new documentary series on the wonders of AI.

1.Downey Jr. set up the organization in order to ________.

A.release his newly-made film Iron Man officially

B.devote his spare time to environmental protection

C.inspire his crazy fans not to damage the environment

D.Braise enough money to make films with high technology

2.What can be inferred from the text?

A.Downey Jr. founded his organization while making his film.

B.Downey Jr. joined in cleaning up the planet ten years age.

C.Downey Jr. regretted not leading a greener life in the past.

D.Downey Jr. hosted a live conference on AI on the Internet.

3.Which of the following words can best describe Downey Jr. in the text?

A.Environmentally friendly.

B.Generous.

C.Warm-hearted.

D.Popular.

One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold one, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say “________.”

Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka. It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non－alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.

If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”

Universal Studios Hollywood, a park for fun, entertainment, and even learning, is taking its first steps in a 25-year plan to expand itself. The plan is to expand the amusement facilities (设施) and develop a residential (住宅的) neighborhood in the area. "I’m really excited about what’s happening here," one visitor said.

Originally known as Universal City, Universal Studios Hollywood was founded in 1915 by Carl Laemmle. It was the first studio offering tours during which people could watch films in production. Since then, Universal Studios Hollywood has grown to include theme parks, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and etc. This park proved to be so popular that Universal Studios Florida opened in 1990.

With such past success and growth, it’s no wonder that Universal Studios Hollywood is excited about its latest plans for expansion. The original plans had to be changed because of environmental regulations (规章), but now they are ready to move ahead at full speed.

While many new attractions are in the works for the new expansion, Universal Studios Hollywood will keep some of its old attractions, such as the Bates Mansion from the film Psychoand the Shark from Jaws. These attractions offer a look at the historical development of the film industry, and show the advances in film-production techniques over the years. But while preserving the past, plenty of new high-tech sound stages, rides, and theaters are in the works. In May, Citywalk, a shopping, dining, and entertainment facility, began undergoing renovations (整修), and spring also saw the opening of Sky Venture Hollywood, an attraction where visitors can float 40 feet into the air on 125 mph winds.

1.As a result of the popularity of Universal Studios Hollywood, ______.

2.The visitor in the first paragraph holds a(n) _________ attitude towards the expansion.

3.Why will Universal Studios Hollywood preserve some old attractions?

4.From the passage we learn that Universal Studios Hollywood ____.

Sonoma County, California is famous for its natural beauty. The area is also known for its fruits, vegetables, eggs, and seafood. When I first moved to the area years ago, I had no idea I would be living in such a rich area!

After the summer, local festivals practically celebrate the richness of the county every weekend. From Egg Days, Tomato Festival to Seafood Festival, Sonoma County has something for everyone. An event held every year is one of the most special in the area, which celebrates the harvest(收获) of tomatoes, showing over 170 kinds of this tasty fruit. Cooks prepare the most favorite tomato-inspired dishes. You can enjoy all kinds of food while listening to live music, and taste the world famous Kendall Jackson wine.

Another great feature of this event is the opportunity to take part in the yearly competition with your own tomatoes. Tomatoes are judged (判断) on looks, taste, and weight and winners will be awarded (奖励). If you’re planning on visiting and want to attend this event, get your ticket early as it sells out quickly.

This year, to celebrate Tomato Festival, I decided to plant a few tomatoes in a wine barrel (桶) that had kept a lemon tree before. The tree, after about 6 years, finally did not produce fruits anymore, so I changed to plant 3 tomato plants instead. The three wine barrel plants stand over six feet tall and that’s above the top of the barrel! They have lots of flowers and some have started to produce fruits. As usual, harvest may be late this year, but the quality of my tomatoes will be excellent. I believe I’ll realize my dream of being the best tomato gardener.
