21、   It's getting hotter and hotter outside. Summer is already here! Summer means high temperature, more outdoor activities and all kinds of fruit and vegetables. How can we stay fit in this exciting season? Here are some good suggestions: 

Eat and drink properly

What is healthy to eat in summer? Fresh and light food. Fish can be a good choice. It can keep your body energetic and help fight against the burning sun. Another good choice is colourful fruit and vegetables. They not only please your eyes, but are full of healthy chemicals(化学物质). Tomatoes can help protect your skin against sunburn. Blueberries are good for your brain and eyes. The more colour, the better!

With all those summertime activities, you will be thirsty. What to drink? Water. Water has zero calories(卡路里) and is the perfect drink to stop your thirst(口渴). Try not to drink too many energy drinks, sports drinks and soda drinks which have lots of sugar and caffeine(咖啡因) in them.

Stay active and cool

Summer is a great season to enjoy outdoor activities and play. It's also a good time to lose weight. If you are lucky enough to be near a body of water, try water sports like swimming, surfing, water skiing and so on. These sports keep you cool and active at the same time. You'll have no problem beating the heat and keeping fit as well.  

Be careful of the sunshine

Summer allows us more chances to get outside, but it also means more possibilities to get burnt by the sunshine. If you are going outside, keep away from the sun when it's the strongest—usually between 11 am and 3 pm. If you have to stay in the sun for a long time, sunscreen(防晒霜), a big hat and a long­sleeve jacket will be necessary.

23、   For people, it's not surprising that we can open a door, lift a heavy box and control ourselves while walking in the snow. But can a robot do this? Well, Google's new robot, Atlas, can not only do these things, but it can also stand up if it falls down. Although the robot may be slow and clumsy, it was created mainly to work in dangerous places for humans.

Now, robots are much smarter than you might imagine. On March 9 this year, AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) program made by Google's DeepMind, challenged top professional Go player Lee Se­dol from South Korea. And AlphaGo beat Lee at last.

AI is when computers or computer software is able to have intelligent behavior, such as thinking or acting like a human. In our daily lives, we already use AI in many ways, like Apple's Siri and search engines like Baidu and Google.

Some people may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything. But experts say that is not the case. Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game. For example, humans can watch a person throw down a cup of coffee and know that the result will be a mess on the floor. A computer program would have to know the size of the cup, the height of the cup from the floor and many other things to find out the result. But we never know what will happen in the future.

【1】The underlined word “clumsy” in the first paragraph means ________.

A. 敏捷的 B. 结实的 C. 笨拙的 D. 呆傻的

【2】Atlas was created mainly to ________.

A. help the disabled people B. show the development of technology

C. help people do simple jobs D. work in dangerous places for humans

【3】In Paragraph 2, the writer mentioned the game between AlphaGo and Lee Se­dol to ________.

A. explain how smart robots are B. introduce the development of robots

C. show the game was very exciting D. tell us how robots beat humans in the game

【4】The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”.

A. AI is already used in many ways B. AI can think and act like a human

C. AlphaGo beat Lee Se­dol in the Go game D. Computers can beat humans at everything

【5】From the passage, we can infer(推断) ________.

A. humans will have to follow robots' orders

B. it's difficult for robots to take human's place

C. robots will be just as common as mobile phones

D. people will depend on their robots to do all the things
